Going to give Eppa some benefit of the doubt that it's the drunk talking, but I have a hard time taking anyone seriously that uses some variation of 'acting alpha' to describe their own behavior, and actually means it.

Middle easterns tend to be very respectful they might not be very culturally understanding but they do not fuck with people the way the other shit tier people do. Jews are either great or they are the plague it depends on how religious they are.

Ketaras tier list of who the coolest tourists at your hostel are:

Shit tier:
Americans, French, Chinese, Indians

These guys not only don't want to be social, they go out of their way to not be social and to make it clear that they are not going to be social. They also are typically criminally ignorant of the country they are visiting, to the point of being blatantly racist and disrespectful of their surroundings. They are also coincidentally probably rich and probably spend their money in idiotic ways.


Awful tier:
Other types of Asians, africans, italians

These guys are probably reasonably cool, but likely don't speak English well at all, so get a reduced tier because hanging out with them can be difficult.


Mid tier:
Canadians, Europeans not listed elsewhere

These guys are a mixed bag. Sometimes you have good experiences, sometimes you don't. Other factors can move them up and down in the tier list. Large groups are usually not social outside their group. Couples are usually not social. Small groups and single travellers are usually more social. Single girls are usually the most social, although they are also the most rare.

You can tell a lot from a backpacker by habits. If its Asia and they're up at 5-6 am, or if their backpack has a yoga mat strapped to it somewhere and they have good shoes, they're probably an experienced traveller. Conversely, if they start their sightseeing day at 11 or are wearing flip flops in the mountains, they probably don't know what they're doing. People who carry lonely planet books in very visible places probably want to talk to you. People who are nose deep in a book or a phone at the hostel probably don't. If the first thing they talk about in regards to their excursion is the local alcohol or anything related to that, they're probably idiots. If they try to talk about museums or local culture/history, you probably want to keep them around.

God tier:
Germans, Australians, New Zealanders.

Most of the time when you're social in a hostel, its because you started a conversation with somebody else. If somebody else started a conversation with you, its almost always going to be one of these guys. They're the type who travel alone because they are expecting to meet somebody else on their trip and hook up with them. They're usually very friendly, and also have usually done this sort of thing before, so there will be much less of a chance of them doing stupid shit.

How dare other people travel differently than me. How dare other people not want to socialize with me. How dare other people be richer than me. Hear my righteous anger, fellow denizens of the internet.
