      Hmmmm. This is all to do with the fact that water is sort of attracted to you rather than repelled away from you. So the fact that it sticks to you a little bit but not entirely means it feels like you are wet, but if oil stuck to you which is much more sticky then it wouldn’t feel wet because it sticks to you more. So i guess its to do with water being a lil bit sticky but at the same time a lil bit not sticky
