Why are most people in London so boring?

From my experience, the English are aloof - they do their own thing and they are not proactively friendly.  This is NOT to say that they are boring or mean.  It's just that they don't go out of their way to be friendly nor wish to display excitement.  Stoicism at its finest.

It is hard to say for me really, it is considered a classic in London, but I personally tried really hard to like it and came up short.\n\nI think it might have gotten panned at the time because there were so many bands doing the same thing (Blur being my fave) that it sounded kind of like a copycat.

yes i love London... i love to go away also.... but I'm always happy to come  back here..... i miss it... .. London has many romantic restaurants, loads of lovely parks where you can sunbathe , relax, kick ball, or just get a lil privacy...its great for work.... great for walkin along the river in the evening, good nightclubs, great bars.......... and more recently the women have got a whole heap better

Maybe the problem is that you're somewhere in a place called Stevenage...people are in cities.

Because they are not BORING. Nice boys are boring. Be interesting, and the girls will come.

because its a big money maker // its for lazy people that dont want to get of the house to find someone special.going out is to much work so they rather stay home and meet people the lazy way.

Yes, the more Technology advanced we become the more as people we tend to live in our own little worlds integrating less with people face to face. This makes us strangers to even our own neighbours sometimes and thus more intolerant. After-all it's only after you come to know someone that you come to like/respect them. People in London don't tend to be as talkative with their neighbours as say 20 years ago, thus people treat each other as strangers and are alot more intolerant. Eg.. now i've got to know you i can just about tolerate your questions.

Living in London, if you can afford it, would be fantastic.  That is, assuming you like the city life.  London has the best theater in the world, a constant string of concerts by everybody who is anybody.  You are within hours of Paris, Brussels, and Frankfurt.  If you like travel, you can get cheap flights to Africa, the Middle East and Europe for a fraction of the cost from the states.  They weather is colder and more damp than most of the US but the myth of London fog is false.  There was a period during times when coal was the primary source of heating when fog was a serious problem.  However, it is very common for cold and rainy weather to set in for long periods of time even in the summer.  In the winter, you see very little snow and it never is enough to close roads.  What does close roads is some of the worst traffic in the world.  If you live in London, dont bother with a car and go by coach (bus) and train.  You can get almost anywhere this way and its much more relaxing than trying to drive in London.\n\nHow could I forget the museums and breath-taking sights.  However, don't expect to be in Merry Olde England if you live there.  You will find London to be a mixture of various cultures from across the former British Empire to include Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern and other cultures too numerous to mention on here.  This means, you can find probably any food from around the world in London.  My favorite was the Melati in Soho.  Its located in a seedy part of town but the food is soooooooo good!

well dont let that affect you.i dont.  me, i am south african, highly educated and yet apparently from a 3rd world country. when i look around at uk, london - a 1st world country, i see the young people, clueless, older closed minded folks with blinkers on, and i think, was i eager to come and see this. like you, i didnt fall short of anything back home, in fact my standard of living was 10 times better than london, in terms of space, parking, less tax etc. but i came here to travel, explore , and my skills were needed here... and better yet, a british company came to my country , to recruit me, i didnt even ask to come here, i just sat back and got brought.... so i suggest to those who think foreigners are idiots, just because their accent is different , to think again - cos english is not the universal language in the world.... and british and americans are the people most likely to only know one language, while us foreigners usually know at least 2 languages.

Maybe they're bored. What questions are you talking about anyway?

From reading your question, sounds like you've had very little exposure to life in a big city.  Perhaps you're from a quite, smaller town where the quality of life is much higher.  The reality is that you will find more people like that in larger cities, not just Las Vegas.  I've been to all the major cities in the USA and see very similar people on the street.  It's just the way it is, unfortunately.  \n\nI hope after seeing this, it will help you appreciate what you have. :)

It depends on the topic. A person who travels probably isn't going to know a lot about the development of the British novel. A person who reads probably doesn't know how to get a cheap hotel room in London.

could be: your boring? your house is filthy? your annoying? who knows. stop whining and do something. go to their places. suggest places to meet up outside your place. if all else fails, try and find new friends.

No, it doesnt seem to be be the british done thing (plus our residential roads / blocks tend to be longer / larger). Not since the end of WW2 / the queen's coronation anyway. Too many weekend workers, too much traffic, not enough open space, gardens too small etc.\n\nWish we did though - beautiful summers day like today (doing homework out in the garden, wi-fi + outdoors viewable LCD = fantastic!) it would be awesome. Get a BBQ going, crack out some beers, put a little party music on, get about a hundred neighbours together who might not otherwise meet up...\n\ntoo many old folks live round here though, think there'd be complaints :-)

This is asking the answerer to generalise. For instance, I worked with Americans for most of my working life, and I found the people I worked with to be intelligent and hard-working.  I was always amazed by their sheer enthusiasm and stamina.  I had good energy levels, but they left me behind.  So ..... I would say that from my own experience I made lots of friends (I still e-mail friends on the East and West coast to this day).\n\nHowever, there is a broad concept in the British Isles that most Americans are dumb and loud-mouthed.  That they are war-mongerers, and greedy.  That they pollute the planet with their gas-guzzling cars and will not sign the Kyoti Agreement because it will affect their lives too dramatically.  In London the American Embassy has refused to pay the London traffic congestion charge because they have deemed it a tax ... notwithstanding that every single Londoner has to pay this charge and it is more in the way of a toll than a tax.  So .... all around me I hear complaints about Americans, but I have nothing but good experiences.\n\nMost people here (as in America I am sure) generalise.  Not all Brits have bad teeth, for example!!!!
