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.

Definitely not California

The 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.

Upper 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.

The Great Plains. Seriously we need tourism dollars

It'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

Get new bait

>>2728462
A 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

I'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.

Anywhere touristy or status oriented = hostile and rude people living there.
Anywhere that's not full ghetto, but nothing special, people tend to be friendly.

Either Montana or Tennessee have been the nicest to me.

Montana most people wanted to talk to me & would offer to buy me drinks/recommend places to go.

Tennessee was similar where most people were very friendly and wanted to talk or would give me tips, ask if I've been to certain restaurants or landmarks, etc.

The most unfriendly were New York & Wyoming.

New York is a given. Everyone is rude & in their own bubble. Will be very aggressive in traffic despite being in the wrong & are the least likely to offer any advice or help you if you are lost.

Wyoming was very cold. People would stare at me for long periods without ever saying anything to me. They just kept staring at me like they knew I wasn't from there & didn't want me there.

This sounds so wholesome anon.
I'm a depressed French frog that is tired of watching his country going down the drain and not being able to do anything against it... To clear my head, I'm planning a 2-3 months trip to the US where I'll go hiking and camping in the most beautiful part of the country. I'd really love to make some local American frens to go do outdoorsy stuff with. What I'd love beyond anything is to go hunting for the first time of my life, but I'd need some people to show me the ropes...
From what you're depicting, I might achieve all those things if I spend some time in West Virginia. Hell, if you or any other kind anon from anywhere in the US might be down for it, I'd love to chat.

I already had Appalachia in my mind actually, those two wonderful videos showed me what a beautiful part of your country it is, and how kind and genuine the people seem to be there. This is definitely a part of the US that has a lot ouf soul.

Texas. It's the friendship state.
>>
>>2733281
People here are polite, but they're not kind. They'll insult you to your face, but it's ok because they said it in a way that's "nice". It's entirely superficial.
Bless your heart, anon.

Perhaps I'm looking at Texas with rose tinted glasses as I lived there my whole childhood. Now I live on the east coast where everyone is more distant. I don't know, I felt like people in Texas were just more friendly. More willing to hang out and invite you for dinner. I don't get that here on the East Coast. That's my experience.

this is an LDS meme. the fertile top-tier mormon cuties are already married away at age 17-19 to other 17-19 yr olds who have been in LDS since birth.
LDS only allows 4chud converts to marry the last scrapings of the singles ward which are spic goblinas in their 30s, if anything.

i'd say the appalachian north
west virginia, ohio, kentucky type places
not only have i heard they were nice and have hot and easy white women but i have experienced west virginia having nice people. they will offer you drugs and chat with you like you are friends
>>
>>2733712
also tennessee is pretty chill i went to knoxville and people were chill. memphis, knoxville, nashville full of nice people and sexy hwyte women. nashville loves fun, knoxville is more laid back and haughty but still nice, even the hobos were nice and sweet. knoxville is a dirty ass city outside of downtown but it's like a comfy grimey. even the cops are chill, they will let you get away with shit if you have a good reason.

I thru hiked the appalachian trail in 2013 and the people in New England are the absolute best people Ive ever met in the country. People in western Massachusetts were unbelievably nice. Also people in Maine are awesome as well. Maine as a whole is a really underrated state. Yeah definitely New England. The times ive traveled to Boston as a teenager which was only twice, and in the late 2000s, I felt like people were super friendly and nice. I really love New England.
It’s probably been overran with somalis, haitians and venezuelans since then because some UN delegate went to Maine and was like, there’s way too many white people here and this is against UN Charter 7-538.2. We need 13 busses of somalis here ASAP. But in 2013 it was like the most badass place ever.

You were thru hiking, so you were basically in a bubble of people who viewed you the same way a Romanian greets a white Englishman hitchhiking through the countryside with lots of hospitality.
