Why water is wet. Is there a relevant answer?

Question

Just curious,,,,,

Answer 1

the feeling of wetness probably has more to do with temperature changes and the force the water applies to the surface of your skin.  your brain has been trained from birth to associate those feelings with wetness.  try an experiment, put on rubber gloves and pour water on your hands.  you'll swear your hands are wet even though they aren't, simply because it cold or warm feeling and your nerves sense the liquid flowing over your skin.  take off the gloves and you're dry.  

Answer 2

You do not give much of a hint about the level of response you are prepared for, so this might be over or under whatr you might hope for.

A water molecule is an interesting assembly, since it lends itself to tentative bonding with other materials and to itself.

This light 'bonding'  force shows itself as surface tension when there is only water present, as a miniscus when it is in contact with a glass or tube, and in the way that many materials dissolve in water. So it is a sort of attraction for other molecules that gives it its properties. Water is not unique in this regard, but it is a bit unusual in that it will easily interact with many other molecules.  And it is this tentative bonding, this sort of 'stickiness' at the molecular level, that we experience as wetness.

OK?

Answer 3

because it is a liquid. Liquids are wet.

Answer 4

It's wet because water is the primary substance used to define the word "wet" in a tactile manner.

Answer 5

The hydrogen sticks (associates) to almost anything, so it seems wet because water leave tracks of this association.

Bucket full of water and a dry rag on the edge of the bucket, half rag into the water, half rag out, water will climb the rag and will be dripping outside. This is the association of hydrogen.
