And for all the ass play Germans are into they are some stuck up mofos.
Every male Bangladeshi who wanted to be friends with me tried to initiate homo sex at some point and I guess that's friendly. I've got no insight to that country whatsoever. For all I know that's just how it goes.
Russians are less welcoming? Really?
We are some of the kindest out there imo. We happily accept; also are always happy to meet with new people and to make new friends...
Unless you're black.......
LOL at no data for africa. my guess it not easy.
also that right. 3rd world and 2nd world the best!
Also think some of the data here is not factoring openess.
Interesting how western europe, usa, canda, australia so high for tolerance, no racism, tribalism, religious crazies, and openess but yet scandinavia ranks low for making friends and so does germany.
I want to make friends, but I instinctively hate all people.

Lol, come on. We aren't THAT bad. It may take a little time to become comfortable/familiar with us, but after that we are all good. I don't see how we are bad at making friends."We are some of the kindest out there imo."
I dont know about that Artem
In The USA, UK, Ireland, go to any pub and walk out with BFFS. In Canada too, unless they are French Canadian. Scandinavians don’t smile, but are adventurous will make friends...they just aren’t as emotive...The Fins are a blast.
I found Spain and France to be snooty.
And I think that is what "openness" refers to. Not the 'are you open to chatting and having a beer with a tourist in your country' but rather 'are you open to people immigrating and melding into your society'.Life in cities like Novosibirsk and Vladivostok are different from St Petersburg and Moscow? right...
Novosibirsk is a very hospitable place (been there), but the city can be quite depressing, especially in winter when there is very little sunlight in a day, so people are probably less welcoming, but still polite etc. I have never been to Vladivostok, and don't intend to. I think Vladivostok is a nice enough place to go and visit, a bit poorer than Western Russia, but still I imagine hospitable.
I guess language barriers exist for those lazy enough to not learn - at least some of - the language of the country that is being visited. But as for having indigenous majorities... I agree, keep Russia as it is. Students are welcome and tourists etc, but preferably not to live there.
Ya i do think being white matters in certain places like that.I'm not sure if I agree with those maps based on my own experience. I found Russia to be fairly welcoming and it was ranked dead last, but maybe it's because I'm white.
Mexico on the other hand, not so much.
Ya i've made quite a few Russian and Ukrainian friends here in Canada and find them very open. But still they all warn me that things would be different for me likely in their countries whether I was with my Ukranian gal or not. Particularly if I traveled there like I like to travel elsewhere which is off the beaten path and going into local establishments that are typically frequented by tourists.I have some Russian friends here in Montreal and I've been invited to their barbecues.
Super fun, super friendly group. Insane drinkers.
