I think it's mainly a difference in culture. Russians are more reserved than Americans and usually won't smile or say hi when passing by; they keep a serious demeanor. I see how this can come off as being unhappy or inhospitable to us and other foreigners but when they are with their family and friends they are just like us.

Some of the happiest people I know are Russians.

Algerians are the worst ones that I've met. But, I haven't met many Russians that I can recall.

ever met are Russians....followed closely by Germans. I met one super pleasant, outgoing Russian in Thailand....and tried...Lord how I tried to connect to some others, but no go. I talked to native Thai....they LOVE Aussies...Americans....and tolerate Russians and Germans.




Could be you, Russians are generally repulsed by anyone they perceive as weak....., you aint a snowflake are ya?

It's women under 25. They're fat and disagreeable to the point that the only way they can get the attention from men that they pretend doesn't matter to them is to put out, and when even that doesn't get them what they're looking for, they turn into pure counts.

Not sure where you went, but Germans are great.

Most are hospitable. As to unhappy, the Iranians take the cake, followed very closely by the Saudis.

Germans are Germans, they can´t help it. Those that have travelled or are of higher standing, are quite pleasant.

Russians are weird. Not bad, not good, weird.

Thais love everybody.

Aussies are loud and obnoxious. New Zealanders, as well.

Personal experience. Your mileage may differ.

Every culture has it share of assholes and awesome people. I live in Germany and I know plenty of assholes and I know some very nice people. Same for back home so I wouldn't say it is more in one culture or another not in at least any developed nation. My question is how do we know that you are not the one who is unhappy or inhospitable ,basically an a-hole?
