Politics: Don't talk about Politics!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Boston is pretty divided, you won't know who's a republican or a democrat, and that last election was hell on this city.We even had a very expensive Democratic Convention. Don't even mebtion it, it's depressing to everyone cuz we are all freaked out over the war...

    Boston Red Sox vs. Yankees: We won the World Series! YAY! FINALLY!
  • Tip Rating:
  • People don't talk about baseball that much, unless you're a die-hard fan. So it's not a big deal what you're affiliation is with, although if the topic comes up, you'll get more popularity if you support us!

    Interacting with the Bostonian: Most Bostonians expect proper,direct-as-hell...
  • Tip Rating:
  • professionalism in conversation. We are pretty honest,real people, just the way we like everything to be. Like New Yorkers, but much more down-played. Most Bostonians are worried about the economy, jobs and school. And we're mostly broke, since living in Boston is expensive and we like to blow money. So just be decent, cool, honest,friendly and smart, and have goals for the future, and you'll fit right in. We basically dislike slobs, or unambitious people.

    one of the first thing any bostonian asks is "do you go to school" (to gauge your your income level (how much your willing to spend)your personality (based on your major, or are you gonig to be successful in life), "where are you from or live?(to gauge your income level or economic level)..and "your nationality" (there is some pride or affiliation with similar nationalites)...that's all it takes for a bostonian to like you or not.
    yea, we are snobby in a way...I think it has to do with the fact that alot of rich people in boston feel privilaged cuz their family's rich (old money since their grandpa's grandpa settled here a long @ss time ago) Remember, Boston is a VERY OLD city that was colonized..we even have the oldest beach in America (Revere Beach, which is dirty, don't go there to swim! But to chill and sight see!)

    So Bostonians are cool, but have this pretentious attitude, cuz we're all trying to be hot sh@t.
