City people are just minding their own business and don't like it when you get in the way of their business in some way. Small town people are more likely to have a grudge against some part of your identity, whether it be physical, sexual, whatever. But yes as a straight white male, when I visited the US, small town America was very friendly and polite. Mostly seemed like fake friendliness though. Like overdone in some way. In the big city (NYC in this case), everyone just... ignored us and we ignored them.
