This article says familiar face draws attraction, whereas there is a saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt". The second one was further enhanced by Dr. Srikanth Srinivasan Kidambi to, "Familiarity breeds contempt, and proximity dilutes value". Which is true? Coming to the old saying - the latter one - it can be supported indirectly by the global data showing increase in divorce rates even in couples, who dated for a long time prior to getting married. The point here is when there is a mismatch between expectations and reality, then contempt creeps in. The fast lifestyle also complicates the situation.
When it comes to this particular article, it is again an example for generalizations. For example, this study involves a rural community, who might have had limited exposure to a wider community with higher tendency to show higher level of selection bias. This is where exposure, experience, time and perspective comes into play.
