People do seem less than capable of maintaining long distance relationships the way they do localized ones. This could be a function of their animal natures, considering that it takes effort to maintain those relationships and keeping them simply delivers diminished returns compared to local ones.
I would imagine that the bonds formed between people in the immediate area would be stronger not only due to availability, but the level of interaction. I don't see how that works, but long distance relationships seem to be proof of this phenomenon. After all, most LDRs are actually established with the assumption/understanding that the other person in question will ultimately come back. That means the LDR is really hanging by that thread, and isn't supported primarily by the prospect of communicating with the person. After all, that could be achieved by simply getting a computer booted up and typing some words in.
