gravitates
Pulls toward something
Gravitates means to be drawn toward something, as if by gravity's pull.
The word usually describes attraction to people, places, or ideas: She gravitates toward leadership roles, He naturally gravitates to the quietest corner of any party.
In physics, objects gravitate toward masses—the Earth gravitates toward the Sun.
The figurative sense dominates everyday use.
