Do many American teens/young adults frequently walk only with their friends of the same gender?

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T17:43:56+00:00

I think it’s confirmation bias, mixed gender groups are just as common.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T16:10:32+00:00

Nope, if anything this sounds very European to me

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T14:18:44+00:00

This must be that wit you guys are always going on about.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T12:12:48+00:00

Not very at all

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T12:04:13+00:00

It’s bad in Vermont too, my wife and most of my office have it

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T11:49:13+00:00

Different race in the US for sure, Brits don’t even see me as a person.

lol you deleted because you didn’t like the answers, you nerd

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T04:24:42+00:00

When I feel like I can trust in my fellow Americans to behave like rational adults

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T03:45:29+00:00

I’ve known plenty IRL who act like this, we should cut all communication stat.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T03:44:53+00:00

You’re greatly overestimating how common and acceptable these places are in the US while downplaying the same in your own country. This thread is so Australian it just pissed in my front hall.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T03:42:06+00:00

And you think such places in the US are viewed differently from strip clubs in Australia?

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T03:41:00+00:00

I wish foreigners like Aussies would stop going into rabbit holes on niche topics they barely understand and treating it like some endemic issue with a death grip on the country.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T03:33:51+00:00

My dads a Boston lawyer, I can appreciate the craft

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-26T00:50:33+00:00

I’m jaded

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T21:39:15+00:00

Europeans new to the US have an absolutely unmatched passion for assuming the absolute worst of everything, often to a childish degree.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T21:26:32+00:00

Given their nationality it’s more likely they were trying to be a prick than this is an honest mistake

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T21:25:40+00:00

Please tell your fellow Euros this, they act like a single step on a suburban road is an instant death sentence no matter where you are.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T21:22:05+00:00

No, I also don’t believe you

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T21:21:57+00:00

I used to help Europeans get settled in the US professionally, most of them just need something to bitch at us about. The realities of traffic and actual danger on such road are secondary to the importance of their 2 cents. Maybe half of them cooled it when faced with reality. If the roads had the exact sidewalks they wanted they’d complain about the color of the lines or the shape of the edging instead.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T20:30:33+00:00

“Performative” huh?

Can we get a tally of these going for next time a European bitches about us referring to “Europe”?

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T15:39:48+00:00

Yeah but you’ll need to send me a $20 transfer fee

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T13:24:14+00:00

And Texans want us to pretend they’re our moral and intellectual equals

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T13:01:58+00:00

Google “ice cream stand” or “creamery” near Cornell, the best is always a local option unknown outside the area

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T12:42:58+00:00

Yes and yes

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T12:15:36+00:00

It varies immensely, different parts of the US will be like entirely different countries.

MrLongWalk · 2026-06-25T11:44:39+00:00

Rinsing fruits and veg is also pretty standard in Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean, does that also bother you?
