As a guy, I never really felt comfortable saying those things to anyone irl.

    I spent some time in the midwest and you nailed it exactly. People in the midwest aren’t nice, they’re fake nice.

        I can believe it a bit. I feel like LA gets influenced quite a lot culturally from Hollywood, and it’s morphed into a lot of fakeness, a competitive atmosphere, and lots of people trying to front being wealthy or coming from money.

        I don’t think that’s everyone, but some of my friends that moved to LA struggled with the clicky-ness of the place and another I visited had friends that all were money focused and wanting to flex their wealth or their family’s wealth.
