gp> because water does not attract other water in any way
though i was merely addressing this quote your comment confuses me both in fillip and content
from cohesion wiki(o):
Water, for example, is strongly cohesive as each molecule may make four hydrogen bonds to other water molecules in a tetrahedral configuration. This results in a relatively strong Coulomb force between molecules.
from coulomb force wiki(i):
Coulomb's law or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is a law of physics that describes force interacting between static electrically charged particles.
