Can pick out which region of the country someone is from based on looks alone?

One of my favorite pastimes at Disney World. Midwest, California, the South, New Jersey/New York...all are pretty distinguishable based on looks and clothing. Trying to verify it can be pretty tricky sometimes though

I used to do that with just people in Louisiana. I could get it down to the neighborhood.

Manner of speaking and accents are the big tell for me.

Sometimes I confuse a Guatemalan with someone from Gueydan.

I think you could probably do it off hats for at least 3 regions

Northeast



West Coast



South

When I see jeans with that French looking cross on the back I know they are from LA or MS.

I can tell if you’re from the MS Delta because people from here have their own uniqueness

Mesh hat with some agriculture logo on it
PFG shirt
Jeans or Carhart pants
Work boots
Frat swoop hair but looks messy cause you wear a hat on it all day
Truck has blacked out windows, at least one CB radio antennae, side tool boxes, orange water cooler mounted on bedside, at least 2 agriculture related bumper stickers or window decals

I don’t believe in profiling.

Midwest loves a muscle shirt and tattoos too.

Not personally.

Otoh, some people from WV can tell you someone’s ancestors by looking at their face because everyone is relative.

This is a fun game to play in an airport if you have a long layover. Pick someone at random, guess where they are going based on appearance then follow them to their gate to see if you get close.

Played the game three weeks ago in Jackson Hole. You can see Californians coming from a mile away. Those people never smile and most look anorexic.

People from California on the ski slopes always dress like hipster f*gs. You can tell by that and also by the way they ski. They get in everyone’s way and show no courtesy to others on the mountain.

This tread reminds me, A few years ago I was in a European airport with a Swedish guy. He was 100% correct when he would point out an American girl. They would get close an you could overhear the American accent.
I ask how he was doing that?

I can always pick out the Texans from their condom rings on the back pockets of their jeans
