I lived my first 19 years on Long Island, an hour from New York City. It was just a train ride away, and we hustled and bustled just as much as people in the city. Too much traffic, everyone in a rush, etc. Then I moved upstate to Oswego, N.Y., and then Syracuse. Lo and behold, I found everyone to be a lot nicer, and friendlier. Absolute strangers waving to me out of nowhere. Of course, after a little while upstate, I realized not everyone upstate is that nice. I was just so used to ignoring strangers and having strangers ignore me on Long Island and in New York City that a few waves made all the difference.

Upstate New York has just as many rude people as New York City. But when you see it in Upstate New York, it stands out more because that's not how everyone acts. In New York City everyone is rushing and doing what they have to do to get to where they need to be. That doesn't mean they are all rude. You will know a rude person in New York City when you see them. I just think the pace is slower upstate, so the ruder people are a lot easier to pick out.

I grew up with 4 older brothers, so I always felt more comfortable with guys as friends. Most of my close friends are male. We have never had any tension when it came to opposite-sex friendship. I could talk about my relationships, and they could talk about theirs without any jealousy or attraction messing up our friendship. I do believe this is a personal thing for many people though. I enjoy guys company more than girls. And guys seem to enjoy my company. But it doesn't mean either of us have any intention of going any further.
