The false time constraint is a sort of bullshit PUA maneuver but it is useful because it indicates to strangers when and to what extent you're going to bugger right off.
I use it any time I'm talking to strangers. I have used it with friends when they clearly have better shit to do than chat.
My guess is that the vibe you were giving people was that of a dude who might just not leave. It makes people edgy. What does he want?
dude, all I do is just have some talks, nothing big. if anything, I am usually the one who ends conversations if they're long because I have other shit to do (actual stuff, not bullshitting around). and look, all I am saying is that your average Joe/Mary Chump doesn't like to talk and then he/she goes around bitching they can't find a "good" partner, either in person or online. as you should know, a lot of couples meet up through the random. if you're going to throw away opportunities right there, you're just limiting yourself. common sense and roosh has mentioned what I am saying.

It's awesome that some homeless people are 100x better than rich people. It's not a California thing, there are tons of friendly people here. Problem is, there are a lot of hipsters and douchebags here who are too into their iPhone to look up and acknowledge human interaction. You can still meet great people randomly.
absolutely dude. california still has cool people; it's just that the place has been getting infested with dirty and useless hipsters, douchebag and braindead rich people, and it hasn't helped that the suburbanites are too busy trying to keep up with the Joneses or they simply don't like to talk to anybody. It's why I LOVE being in SF; I could meet up with other cool people who are in the same situation as me in different suburbs of the bay area or I could meet foreigners living in the bay area, or even try it with the foreign tourists.

I also live in the Bay Area and have discussed this topic with family members. Agent47 said many things I was thinking, especially the loss of community. Urban Americans are very busy with work, school, and the stress of making money to keep up with the Joneses. Time is money, so why waste it on supposed idle chit-chat with a stranger? Besides, that stranger is glued to his iPhone or wearing headphones.
man, getting social networking is also a good investment. I have been in interviews where managers try to see how interviewees mingle with each other; if they try to get to know one another or they simply stay in their serious shell and never open up. it's just that Americans are getting that thought that super hyper individualism will save them when humans can't survive by simply being on our own; we need each other.

People come to the Bay Area for work or school and leave after a couple of years. Why bother to get to know someone and develop deep friendships if you are going to be moving on? There's always someplace better that you are striving for, so keep your eyes focused ahead. I've had several friends who moved away for career or housing reasons.
My stuff mostly covered people who are native to the bay area. I tend not to mix with transplants from other parts of the country who live here in the bay area because they tend to be weird libtards who come here thinking it's a libtard's paradise. this is not always the case, but i see it a lot. and yeah, a lot of people move in here but as I said, social networking is an excellent investment and any businessman can you tell you that straight up.

I've noticed this not only with white Americans, but all ethnic groups. Multiculturalism, while providing a great selection of ethnic restaurants and exotic women, adds to the suspicion because of the lack of common culture and shared values.
absolutely true. this whole crap is with all ethnic groups. and yeah, Im kinda getting tired of being of all around this multi-culti crap because I just want to be in a place where there's a solid identity, not multiple ones that conflict with one another.
