Why Certain Cities Make You Feel Socially Insane

from Clashists

CLASH: SOCIAL ETIQUETTE. Today we're chatting about the strange phenomenon of not understanding the social norms of a new city – whether that means inadvertently offending someone, or (in Gabby's case) being unintentionally offended yourself (we're looking at you: LA residents!!) Why are certain social quirks and behaviors tolerated in one city, and judged and shunned in another?? Why is it OK to flash your wealth in Miami? Brag about your success in NYC? Social climb sans pretence in LA? Throw around your cultural weight in Paris? And what do these social norms have to do with the root value system of that city? Lots of social clashes ahead! Plus - the angsty act of dressing in your 30s, and why dating apps have become even more unhinged (heh).
