Why Americans are like this? Hi I am Bob I live in AZ, I am supposed to know what the heck is AZ ?

They don't tell the name of the country, they just tell you the state they live in, it's even worse when they give you two letters, hi I am Kevin I from NY, what is NY??

If someone lists their location as being out of the U.S. then I am sensitive to that and I give more detail.

If they list it as being in the U.S. then my expectation is they know the state abbreviations common in the U.S. ...if they dont then its a red flag to me they are really from out of the country and just pretending.

If they do not list their country then I could say the same thing....How am I supposed to know?

@PHlover19701 It is important that people from other nation understand what is happening in America. America has been the global superpower for half a century. A Military, industrial and financial role model for the work. And an exporter of culture and influence way beyond its reach. However, there are 8 billion other people out there who dont have all the information Americans take for granted. I have been to America a few times. But never set foot in a walmart or an IHOP. (international House of Pancakes for the non Americans) So please add some supporting information ..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Didnt miss much not visitihg Walmart or an iHop. Maybe people need to add their location to their profile so people dont have to assume.

@PHlover19701 I get it.. I did manage a lot. But these are experiences the avarage American has in muscle memory. And I wanted them as part of my understanding. Like a Vegas buffet or a trip to CVS or Walgreens.😷

@PHlover19701 not a site option. And even country of origin is optional in profiles.

Even users from foreign countries don't say anything.

It's not just the USA thing.

@DeWayfarer The location I was referring to was obviously the country since thats all thats offered. Thats why I said when I see they are out of the country (my country) Im sensitive to it and I provide details.

@PHlover19701 See my comment as well. Yet it's not just a USA thing.
