People are people. I’ve lived all over the country and you get good and bad everywhere.

When people say “Southerners are more friendly” or “Northerns are hard to make friends with”, it is their anecdotal experience, often colored by their expectations about regions that they get from others online. I will say that people seem more friendly down south but that is just superficial mannerisms.

Some of the friendliest people I’ve met were in MA, NH and ME, and the meanest were in Florida and Arkansas.

But I’ve met great people everywhere.
