Being polarizing is way better than being neutral for meeting people and making friends.
This is really important. If I meet 100 people and make 1 really good friend, then it doesn’t matter whether the other 99 like me or not. Being polarizing helps filter for the small number of people I want to talk to.
It’s can also be fun to play into American stereotypes overseas. It’s not everyday that a Czechian gets to meet an authentic American cowboy. I much prefer that look to the generic sloppy baseball cap + T-shirt.
