I’d just love to understand why people are so judgemental. My experience has always been that people in my life and hometown are kind and polite, so would love some honest feedback about what people think here about southern women and how I can appear more approachable while staying true to myself.
I am not DC native, transplant from Europe. I LOVE people from south. They, primarily, are very well educated, well read, kind, less mental issues compared to people from North East, less arrogant. Please, stay true to who you are. It is such a pleasant contrast to meet people like you.
Thank you!
OMG and you wonder why people don't like you when you all generalize about people from other regions in this way. FFS. So oblivious to your own hypocrisy.
What's wrong with YOU? As if DCUM posters don't generalize about southerners and the south all the time!

Most of my friends here in DC are kind people who are open to new experiences and ideas. They don't judge people based on appearances. They are happy to use public pools.

Florida is definitely not in the “south”. Just a different culture.
Ok. California isn't in the west, and Maine isn't in the north? Just exactly where do you think Florida is located?

Also a European transplant. And I agree 100 percent. Southern people tend to be kinder, more humane, more interesting, more down to Earth. Also more curious and straightforward. I always like people who are really southern.
Please don't change a thing to "adapt."
The stereotypes are insane in this thread. Some people are good, and some people suck in every state and DC, from every income level, from every background.
Stop with this nonsense.
The Europeans can't see through the phony southern charm. They think "Bless your heart" means bless your heart. LOL.
