What state have you been to that had the nicest people?

[Anonymous]

I’ve lived in Texas, Colorado, California, North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
Out of those, Colorado wins as friendliest.

I lived in the research triangle area, and it was definitely fake. There are a lot of racists. I was shocked at things people would say once I got to know them better and they just assumed I was one of them. I also was surprised at some of the things my best friend at work there encountered (a highly accomplished black woman). Also, during the diversity training seminar it was eye opening how many people grew up in a bubble where they didn't encounter diversity. One man didn't learn that "Jew" wasn't a very until college.

I don't think you can say a state has the nicest people. I have met many nice people all over. It might even be a stretch to characterize a city/town as has having the nicest people.

I was in a shop in the Pinehurst area when I heard two women talking very racist stuff. I was so disappointed but it is the South. Lots of confederate flags.

There are good, kind people everywhere. There are also racists andhypocrites everywhere. There are those who've learned to choose their words carefully but purposely live in expensive, often gated communities, and non-diverse areas. They're actually not interacting much with those different from themselves.

White southerners are not nice people. Don’t be fooled.

PP here. I'm a white southerner, and I think I'm pretty darn nice, thank you.

I'm surprised by all of the Texas votes. I've lived all over Texas and while it's certainly friendlier than here, it's not that friendly.

I was going to say that this is the least friendly placed I've ever lived. That's true when I'm driving or at a store, but the street I live on is the friendliest place I've ever lived.

One of the least friendly places I've ever experienced is commuting on the Dallas tollway.

There's Midwestern nice. And then there's Iowa nice.

Iowa nice is passive aggressive and envious. Crab bucket state. Iowans are actually horrible. Highest cancer rates, plummeting schools, morbid obesity, the whole state is a hellscape.

I’m retiring there

I once said “bless you!” (Sort of automatically) to a woman in a grocery store in NC and she said, really irritably, “oh, he HAS!!”

You might consider meds for your depression and negative outlook. Hope your life gets better.

^ THIS is exactly what “Iowa nice” is. It isn’t nice. It’s demeaning and nasty.

This is also “Iowa nice.” I’m right, you’re wrong, life is great, la la la I can’t hear you.

Look up the actual facts. Most people don’t live like that in Iowa. The state is on a massive downhill slide. Those “wonderful ppl” have the highest cancer rates in the whole US, the public schools are rotting, and why are you on dcum from Iowa anyway?

Have you read the cities for which Jeff has forums? Did you realize that people post here from all over the US and other parts of the world? Try to be nice.
