re: Does anyone really have "Southern Pride"?

It is hard going to places in the Northeast because being from the South, we really are taught to be friendly and polite and that's not really the case everywhere. I smile at strangers when we make eye contact and people up north think I'm trying to frick them or something because of it. Sorry my mama raised me right.

I always thought people were lying when they said women outside of the South go crazy when a guy opens the door for them. Until I visited London and you would have thought I was some amazing gentleman with how the girls reacted. Immediately asked my name, where I was from and what I was doing. All because I opened a door and had a southern accent.
