New York! ( I am originally from there!)

Wyoming...but I may be a little biased

I'm betting Matthew Sheperd's family would disagree with Wyoming being the friendliest state.

I must say Tennessee!
My MIL (mother in law) lives there and we always feel relaxed and are treated very kindly.

I'm sure there are a lot of awesome states out there too!

I know this is just for fun,but it is way too subjective to answer with any validity.Now,I would debate just how friendly New Yorkers are(sorry sunnydelite),because every flight in or out of NY is full of A**holes. But the question poised this way has no answer.

Agree with Tennessee

How about the state of confusion You'll think everyone is wonderful, friendly, beautiful, charming, smart, etc.

Just a little silliness on a Thursday afternoon.

Isn't Tennessee where the dog was shot by the cops? What ever happened to those cops?

ahnold, why the hatred of New York? Most people who are there originally lived in other states and moved there because of careers, jobs. So in essence you are knocking other states.

Cigalechanta...Do you mean the majority of NY's population is not from NY? I don't think I could disagree more. And,I'm sure I could get more"Hello,how are you?'s" from people in Iowa than I would on NYC.

After all " you talkin' to me?" is New York's motto. Sounds real friendly.

After migrating NY to MA, what happened to their respective ratings? Just curious given your friendly, accommodating replies to posters.

Gee, Ahhnold, I live in NYC and know MANY, MANY friendly people. I, myself, am very friendly!! Hi, how are you?? Better? What state are you from?

I'm sure there are MILLIONS of friendly people in NY. All I'm saying is it is way too subjective to say ONE state is the friendliest state. I guess
I am playing devils advocate with Sunnydelite.

Michelle, Hi!! from the other friendly person in NYC

Im with Cigalachanta!
why so bitter about NY?
I lived there 33 yrs of my life. I am now in MA...people aren't super friendly here either,isn't that where you are from??lol..
I love the city! It is soo beautiful at xmas time.! I have encountered many friendly people. ( I lived a bit more upstate)I will go back to the city again and again!
And BTW aaahhnoldddddddddddd??what state are YOU in!so we could pick on you! hehe j/k..And BTW NY is a very big state! Don't A-S-S-ume everyone lives in the city
aaaahnoldddddddddddd!!!(your name cracks me up!LOL)

This is easy. Oklahoma. No where will you find people more friendly, compassionate, and genuine. As one ABC News correspondent said during her tour around the country recently, if she had to identify where "real" America is, it's Oklahoma.

Definitely New York.

Think about it: if you put 8 million people from anywhere else on a rock this small, they'd kill each other in a week.

sunnydelite..funny, I live in MA and everyone I know is the friendiest person in the state.

The Kennedy compound may not be the friendliest place to vacation,but I can make do with my liberal relatives;-)

Hay ahhnold (and others).....New York is actually a state with many cities and communities. It doesn't just consist of NYC. If you have every been outside of NYC, you'd see that there are many friendly people all across the state. Hmmm...maybe Buffalo is really in Canada and they just tell us we're in New York State!!!

Will the person who has met everyone in every state please come forward and give us the results of the test. You would figure with the high population in NY,there is more A**holes from there than the whole population of Iowa. Go figure.
