I am kind of a mix. I definitely live in a "country" type state, but the area I live in is very built up and touristy.
Powhatan I grew up with was watching the wealthy out of towners mix with the folks that live out in the sticks. Always fun to watch a millionaire from Chicago mix with the boys that rode into town in the bed of a truck.
A lot of city people have a dictator complex. They think they can tell people what they can do on their own land. They will look over the fence line and be like you can't do that, to which I reply, shut the fuck up this isn't your property. Mind your own business. They will make all sorts of empty threats and just be assholes because they have a yearning to be part of an oppressive communist system where they are able to abuse and exploit people. Rural people are all up in your business just the same, but they understand that your property is your own and their property is there's. So long as you are in your property line and not damaging their property, you can do whatever and nobody seems to complain. Like in a rural area I could bulldoze a wooden house to the ground, put it in a pile and light it on fire and nobody would say anything, I can shoot guns in my back yard, I can ride dirt bikes or heavy equipment, I can grow crops, I can have animals, I can fish in a pond or a canal, I can park a boat on my land, etc. In the city, if you rip up a small patch of grass in your front yard someone is trying to tell you that you can't grow vegetables on your own land even though we have a right to farm in the constitution of my state. If your car bumper in your own driveway hangs into the side walk they are trying to fine you for blocking the side walk. If you park a boat in your front yard they are trying to fine you for an eye sore. You have to park it in your back yard and put up an 8 foot fence to conceal your boat. If you shoot a bb gun (air gun), not even a firearm at a jug of water in your own back yard when you have a 50 acre lake behind your property people are like you can't shoot guns in your yard I'm going to call the cops. If you have a small fire pit in your back yard to hang out at night with your friends and enjoy the evening your neighbors are like I'm going to call the cops if you don't put that fire out. City people go around picking up dog turds in plastic bags like they are picking wild black berries and carrying them around... I'm not into dog turd collection as a hobby. Not for me... City people don't use their yards, they hide inside, but they insist on having grass everywhere and people people to fertilize and cut that grass and if it's ever too tall they are calling code enforcement or the HOA to try to get you fined because your grass is 3 inches not 2.5 inches. It's lunacy... Everything about cities is about control and oppression. Out side of cities there is more Independence and freedom.
*pay
If you fish in your own back yard in the city, your neighbors will ask if you have a fishing licence... If you mow your law in the morning, they will call in a noise complaint and if you don't mow it they will call code enforcement and if you mow it in the middle of the day in 98 degree weather you will get heat stroke. If your dog runs out the door, city people call animal control to take your dog to the pound to be killed. In rural areas they just tend to come over and pet your dog and most will stick them back inside your fence line.
It’s a day and night difference one group are from a classy city but some are stuck up. the other lives in a country town that are very much like Hicks
u Yeah, that’s pretty much true
I live in Miami Florida some are a little bit set in their own world and kind of stuck up and then when I’ve gone on vacation to see the Smoky Mountains. There’s a lot of backwards country people there which they call Hicks. But some country people are nice and some don’t like the city people. Some city people are polite and nice and will help you out. It all depends on who you run into.
I believe that country people don't take themselves as seriously as city people would and they also seem more tolerant about a number of things than the stressed city people.
If something does not work right away, they take a break and let time do its magic. The secret is to not to let yourself be all worked up. City people on the other hand tend to get aggravated if it does not work according to plan.
I also notice that stressed city people are more likely to call the manager right away if something displeases them while country people would perhaps take the problem with a grain of salt.
Haha it is very much like that. We get super rich tourists driving here from major midwest cities.
They have these mansions that put even the wealthiest zip codes in the US to shame.
Then along comes a family from a few miles outside our town with the kids in the bed of the truck for their yearly float in a cove on rafts from Walmart.
Definitely the people from around here. Fun for them is cheap, and they are ingenious. A group of essentially hillbillies bought this worthless rock quarry on the lake
They then hauler in tons of sand to put on the flat exist roads and essentially made the nicest beach and swimming area on the lake.
Guess what else they did? They put a submerged rock wall just tall enough to let water in but keep the rich people's boats from anchoring close.
Nosiness. I live in the city and I don't even know my neighbors' names, nobody cares about each other. But when I went to the countryside, people there had already heard about me the second I got off the bus.

City folk tend to be into materialism, consumerism, fashion, name brands, and the latest trends. It is how they compete and gain recognition.
They tend to be self-centered and self-absorbed, demanding, and look down on those who are beneath them.
They ignore people who are of no value to them.
Status is important to them.
Country folk are more into rustic charm and coziness. They like dependable, traditional tools and appliances as opposed to fancy electronic things that break.
They love nature.
They know how to do things for themselves.
They are neighborly and even wave at or say hello to strangers.
They will help others without any desire for personal benefit.
Okay, not all city and country folk are like that.
They're strong and helpless in different ways.
Country people can be tough and not afraid to get their hands dirty (literally). They often have a much more wholesome view of life. Very... matter-of-fact. They can be rude in some ways, have their inside jokes and of course be very puritanical in their value system.
City people can be tough in that bossy kind of way, often demanding more immediate gratification rather than allowing time for things. They often rely on services rather than doing things themselves. Outside of the city environment they can seem a little clueless bc they don't have hands-on skills. However they'll be very resourceful in other ways (organization, structure, leadership, etc.).
m I don't believe their personality is anything different, but I'm certain their culture can bring them to show waaaaaay different behaviours yep.
Nosiness has been cited already, it's a big time descriptor of little towns, villages and hamlets lol. Also, I believe country folks can very much believe their piece of land is the heart of the galaxy, rural chauvinism strikes, with its not so pleasant exclusionary views. Whereas a city is teaching you a very different story about the vastness of the world.
But ofc, I'm biased, as a city guy.
City girls are very entitled and unkind. Its not their fault, in the cities of India, money talks and lack of social skills is cobsidered a symbol of power. People here care more about the logo of apple on their phones than each other's character.
I have some friends that used to come to city colleges from outskirts... Such sweet people, even girls. They are gentle and kind and will literally become friends with you in one hour
As a city girl, I was floored
I live in the suburbs of a big city, and I went visiting a friend last week in the countryside.
What I noticed is how much friendlier people are in the countryside, even though I was a stranger, everyone said hello to me, and only my neighbours and people I know do that in the city.
City people live in a bubble. Watch Logan's Run. That sums them up.
Country people aren't overly bright they follow their instincts. Luckily for them their instincts do function. They're not going to make any scientific break throughs or build any great civilizations but they'll keep bring around. City people mayby not so much.
I'm technically in the DFW area but barely on the edge. It's almost out in the country. I take a train into town to work but I like living away from it.
City people are full of resentment and always want more (more stuff, more money, more time, more everything).
Country folks are grateful and satisfied with pretty much everything.
Country people definitely seem way more chill and not stressed out.
Country people are usually more relaxed and friendly, compared to city people.
Small town people are optimal, they are right in the middle.
This is exactly what I notice. We have a tourist rush and then you see the country people take over the off season.
It is a wild transition for us locals that are a bit of both in a built up tourist area in the country that attracts lots of ultra wealthy.
What do tourists usually come to see in your county?
We have a premiere but man made lake in the midwest. There isn't much for the big city people from St Louis. Kansas City, Chicago and so forth to go.
I see, are there any Native American reservations there?
I do not believe there are official reservations in the state. I could be wrong. Our state is backwards to be honest.
Ohio, right?
@Masie City selfish and independent.
Country: friendly community people who's everyone in town
@Masie so far @EmmaMary
or @purplepoppy can explain much better
u I would say, being able to produce and consume "moonshine".

I was born and raised in Miami FL, but I can't compare it to the Norwegian culture... That's what I love
City people tend to be assholes. They often think they are good but are disrespecting people left and right that they encounter across their day.
Country people are usually less stressed out.
@Nikki1989 fact
They're pretty different ideas on what community is and what caring for people looks like I think.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
There’s a lot. I think everybody already listed most of the city people’s negative traits. I prefer country people in general. They aren’t so apathetic and indifferent compared to many people here in California.
People who live in the country have more money. At least that's the case in the UK. Maybe it's different in countries with an agricultural economy.
Rural America has shown us what they are. Stupid. Filled with hate. Angry. And blaming everyone but the people who are draining them to poverty, the 1%. I can't speak to other countries but rural America are ignorant traitors to their country.
Country men are more apt to be self reliant and capable of fixing things themselves
Simply by necessity, odds are better
City folks say "hi" and country folks say "howdy!"
City people tend to be much less friendly. That's the biggest difference I've noticed
A city woman will want you to do all the work. A country girl will work with you
City people are NPC bots and fake as fuck. I'm not country but I work down town for an international company fake as fuck corporate America bull shit. They are all fake.
City people value money over people more than country people
City people tend to enjoy being around others and are usually open-minded, whereas rural people often prefer less social interaction and tend to be more open-minded in other ways.
City are typically introverts. Country people are more extroverts
Country folk are more laid back and less stressed. They are less superficial also.
I think the difference is we're a little loud and bolder a little brash as well
Country people are a lot nicer!!
we county folks like are freedom
Where they live.
Not much really beyond color.
