[quote=Anonymous]Well, OP, you’re basically pinpointing reasons that these people aren’t as metropolitan as you are: geography, ethnicity, career, handbags, clothing, etc.

Sometimes the problem isn’t through the window, it’s in the mirror.

The only person who can adjust is you. You can hate it, or you can make the best of it. “Fake it till you make it” really does work, even if only to degrees.

The more you focus on what you dislike, the more you’re going to find to dislike.

And I’m sorry, but people in metropolitan areas are plenty one dimensional, just about different things. The first question may go from what you do for a living, to asking where you live so they can gauge if your address up to par, but it’s really the same question. You’ll figure it out once you realize that you have just as much in common with these people as the people in DC. THe really interesting thing is you may not know what that is, until you break down your own assumptions a little.

Aside from that, you’re not even in that a remote are
