I don't want to sound like a dick, but I don't have an overall favorable impression of Texas. I'm from New England

I've lived in both the NE and in Texas. 99% of every stereotype about Texans is complete BS. 90% of every stereotype you hear about New Englanders is true.
Yes, I found Texas to be a hell of a lot nicer than the NE. The weather (even in August), the open spaces, and most of all the people.
In New England you wont see people walking down the street, and saying hello to complete strangers, here it's almost expected. I lived in South Texas where its a huge hispanic population, on easter/thanksgiving/july 4th/etc it's expected to go from house-to-house visiting all your friends families. Try showing up to someone elses house in the NE and they'd try to figure out wtf you're doing there.
I'm constantly amazed at how people view Texas, just last week someone from out of state asked if I used to ride my horse to highschool. I dont care if you dont like Texans, just try actually living in a place for a few years before you pass judgement.
