    I didn’t know that was a thing about Portland, though I have recently learned people say it’s the city with the most ugly people so I wonder if that’s related.

      Holy crap. I’ve lived in Portland for the last 2 years and I have been shocked by how unattractive everyone is. I’m not saying I’m a model or anything, but JFC it’s like everyone hovers around a 4-5

      I visited Portland as a kid in the late 90s. Everybody was really cool and down-to-earth, but one thing I noticed was how normalized outdoor spitting was. Like one time I saw an attractive person across the street, and we were checking each other out, and then they leaned over and spat while maintaining eye contact. I’m pretty sure there was no communicative intent, they just needed to spit.
