Are Utahans friendly?

The reason I wasn't sure if you were joking is because both things you brought up have happened to you.

True lol
But i got a good look at the taggers and they didnt strike me as mormons.

The one who broke into my car took my basketball, gym bag, and all my gangsta rap cd's so that one is inconclusive
 
I got way more sideways glances from my neighbors when they found out I was a "less-active" mormon than when they thought I was just a non-member.
 
My experience has been that people in Utah are civil, but anything but friendly. They are extremely introverted/paranoid within their own families and you rarely see children play with non-relatives or even outside unless it is in a formal league. It is rare to see kids even out riding a bike and it has been years since I've seen a pick up game of basketball or football or baseball at anyone's home. Adults will say "hi" or wave to neighbors, but that is about it. I have been told in church specifically that no kids should be allowed to play for extended periods of time at someone else's home for safety reasons and that under no circumstances should your children ever stay overnight at anyone else's home even if they are a relative due to safety concerns. Then why the heck is Boy Scouts promoted so heavily with all their camp-outs.

They are civil, but I would not call them friendly.

Dude, my kids are outside all the time. ALL THE TIME. Even in the winter.

Adult Utahns are ********. Plain and simple. Kids are a different story. Most of them haven't learned that from their parents yet.
