The “City of Brotherly Love” may be a misnomer, according to one recent survey naming Philadelphia the rudest city in America.
Language-learning app Preply, which released the survey in August, found that Philadelphia residents rank the rudeness of the average local as a 6.43 out of ten, with Memphis, Tennessee and New York City trailing behind. 70% of respondents also agreed with the statement “people who live in or around cities are ruder than people who live in rural areas.”
“Americans typically stereotype Philadelphians as rude, but locals tend to attribute their behavior to a feeling of insularity in the city,” the site’sreads. “Reluctant to incorporate outsiders, many residents have learned to keep to themselves while growing up in a busy city … residents born and raised in these cities have grown up accustomed to certain behaviors, which likely originated from the city’s culture itself.
Philadelphians are kind to their own. Family, block, parish, school, etc. Everyone else they could give a sh*t about.
At the rate the city is going in 5 more years there won’t be many citizens left.
Yes it does. I spent many weekends there with relatives.
The city is rude, simple!
Suprise!
And one of the deadliest
Also , most un safest.. Too much violence
I totally believe this, people around here so rude and unpleasant.
The city of brotherly love is a direct translation from Greek. If your logic holds we should change the name from Philadelphia to Politoumisous
