Because glass is made from polar, ionic salts making water easily attracted to it.
A substance that attracts water molecules is hydrophillic, hydro meaning water and phillic meaning attracted to. The opposite would be hydrophobic, hydro meaning water and phobic meaning scared of.
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.

a polar molecule is a molecule such as a lipid that has one part of it attracting something , such as water (hydrophillic) and the other repeling it (hydrophobic)

Hydrophobic participles are "running" away from water. Try pouring some oil into a glass of water and you will see what I mean. Hydrophillic participles, on the other hand, attract water and soon a hydrophillic participle will be completely surrounded by water molecules, Which is a fancy way of saying that it'll dissolve.

Hydrophillic
Hydrophillic means water loving matter. In dry seeds this matter is present which prompts the process of imbebition at the time of seed germination.
Self cleaning glass DOES exist, kind of. In theory, glass which is either fabricated with a hydrophillic surface (i.e. etremey smooth and water-loving) has self cleaning properties. Glass can also be treated by the consumer of a professional to be hydrophillic or hydrophobic (water hating). Here's the catch though... "Self Cleaning" glass needs exposure to a great amount of water to actually be self cleaning. If a window that is purportedly self-cleaning is not exposed to enough rain / water to sheet all the dirt and debris off the window, then the dirt will remain on the glass, henceforth, the glass will still be dirty. My suggestion, unless you want to hose down all of your windows every few weeks, save your money by buying regular glass and hire a professional window cleaner to handle your windows for you!
having a strong affinity for water
No. Hydrophillic freely associates with water, readily entering into solution, and water loving. Fats, or lipids, are hydrophobic, which are incapable of freely associating water molecules, insoluble, and water-fearing.
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent

Insulin core is hydrophobic but its periphery has hydrophillic regions
