What part of Tennessee? I have lived in Tennessee for 25 years and have been amazed at how kind the people are.

There are some good peeps in Tennessee. I’ve lived here for 20 years and never had a bad personal interaction. Both Knoxville and Nashville area.

I’ve traveled all over the country and by far and away the most friendly people are in the Midwest

Easily.

They just don’t suck their own dik re: how friendly they are like the south does.

One of Minnesota's slogans is "Minnesota Nice"

They plaster it on fricking everything

My nephew 17 now balled his fist to go toe to toe with his dad. Told him let’s take a ride. He asked me if I ever took a swing at my dad. Hell no! I don’t want to find out if he can kick my arse. Never was told to say sir or ma’am, Mr or Mrs…. That’s just what you said. I teach my daughter manners and respect.

I moved to Montana 11 years ago and I've caught a lot of trash talk for being from the south. What I've seen up here is some of the most beyond redneck backwards shite. This whole damn state is full of inbred and cousins who married cousins. They tell me how racist everything is in the south (most of them have never left Montana or Wyoming) but don't want to talk about their own behavior or comments towards native Americans. There are bad ppl everywhere in America but I give me the south any day. Thankfully, Yellowstone made my home value shoot up and I'm headed back down south soon.

I grew up in Alabama but have been in Colorado the past 11 years. There are friendly people everywhere you go, there are also people who don’t want to talk to you anywhere you go.

First place I lived, everyone was an a-hole, nobody spoke to anyone.

Where I live now reminds me of how I grew up, kids go over whenever they want, everybody’s friendly and says hi and asks about your day.

There is no geographical line that determines who has manners and who doesn’t.

I knew just as many arse holes in Alabama. Southern hospitality is a myth.

It’s all the same, just depends on who you’re lucky to interact with.

I’ve traded overweight black women for overweight Hispanic women. Both groups can be really nice, both groups can be complete bitches. Doesn’t matter where you live

I know the guy in the bass boat, good people

Then why are most people on the board real dick bags?

Southern manners is simply declining to say what we think. It's not refraining from thinking it. This place is just an unfiltered view into what we are actually thinking.

The Midwest is a huge region.

You think people are friendlier in Minnesota?

Montana is full of southern refugees that moved there after the civil war. Probably some of our worst cousins ended up there

The average white person in Colorado or Seattle is a left wing anarchist that is tatted up, super into heavy metal rock, and hates normal looking white southerners. They know you ain’t from round there and they will let you know it.

I deal with much less of these people in Texas. But they were everywhere in those states when I visited

I guess if you live in the suburbs or small town it’s OK….
