"Friendships can be psychologically adaptive, fostering high well-being and a state of good mental health. A bigger question, however, has been raised among researchers, questioning not why friendships exist, but how they come to be. How are friendships formed? To answer this question researchers have focused on interpersonal attraction—the attraction between people that leads to friendships and romantic relationships. Research has focused on three specific factors that contribute to interpersonal attraction: the propinquity effect, similarity, and attractiveness. "(Christopher P.
