No one is friendly in urban areas because you are getting accosted / hustled so often. If a stranger tries to talk to me I have to give an ocular pat down and risk assessment before engaging beyond a skeptical glance.

- MenhirMike 3y agoAre you sure that you don't want to make some extra money on the side by joining my MLM? You can do so from the comfort of your vacation home timeshare! And if something happens to you, do you really have the term life insurance that you absolutely need?
- ekidd 3y ago> No one is friendly in urban areas Yes, this is mostly an urban/rural divide. I've lived in several small New England towns where people talk to each other in public all the time. But I've also lived in Boston. And I've learned that if a stranger strikes up a conversation in Boston, there are two possibilities: 1. They need directions or emergency aid. 2. Or they have absolutely no grasp of appropriate social norms, and I am about to have a deeply weird conversation. At best. In theory, I am perfectly happy to speak with strangers on the subway. In practice, I do not wish to hear about how lizard people rule the world.
