In your experience, which state is the most hospitable to strangers? I always travel alone and whenever I go to a public space in a new city it seems that everyone just comes either with their friend groups or permanently on their phones. It seems that meeting strangers in anything other than a sex app is a dead practice.
>>2728138Definitely not California
>>2728138The South is always fun because of all the "How ya doin', sugar? Whatchu you need?" from fatties with giant smiles. I'd imagine Iowans would be super friendly because they don't get many outsiders, but I could be wrong.
>>2728196Upper Midwest is quite friendly. In northern Michigan (north of the cities, that is), most people you pass in public on a small town street will greet you, even if you are a solitary stoner vagabond who looks awfully scruffy. Dog people naturally fall into conversation with each other.
>>2728138The Great Plains. Seriously we need tourism dollars
>>2728195california still beats the east coast in that departmentI hate it here

>>2728437Not this shit again
>>2728456It's definitely too broad because of the city/rural divide but it's correct that the people in the US south are close minded and rude outside of greetings of thebday
>>2728458Get new bait
>>2728462A waitress saying "okay honey" doesn't mean they're nice anon. Especially when you are close minded about anything not low educated southern Baptist related
>>2728463it's cute and makes me feel handsome when they call me sugar/honey
>>2728252I'm from Michigan. People are reasonably nice and many, especially in smaller towns, are quick overshare. If you have a 10-minute conversation with somebody from the countryside, you'll probably know all about their "whore ex-wife" and "retard step-kids" by the time you're ready to leave. I wouldn't say the friendliness is anything unprecedented, as unbridled and inexplicable aggression is also common. Michigan is exactly the sort of state where somebody will try running you off the road because you tried passing them on the highway. (but I think people who were born and raised in certain states are always more inclined to be critical) For me, I'd say West Virginia. I live near D.C. now, but I go hunting, camping, and fishing in West Virginia fairly regularly. Some of the nicest fucking people I've come across anywhere in the entire world--and I've been to about ~70 cunts. Car battery died once, and I pretty much had strangers begging me to cancel my tow truck so they could do it for free. After I got jumpstarted and went to buy a new battery, I realized I didn't have quite the right wrench to remove a component--good thing every person in the entire Walmart parking lot started circling in with "y'all need help?" the second they saw a popped hood. I just came back from WV yesterday, talked to some random guys outside a gas station about hunting. They went into their pickup, came back with a GPS, and started giving me a bunch of recs on places to check out the next time I was back.
>>2728437This. I'd say Wyoming
>>2728437People in Illinois are actually niceT.il chud
>>2728537Anon, the map is recycled bait
>>2728472Based. I enjoy that as well. I got called cute by an older woman working at my Town Hall when I voted last week
