Help me find this AskMe post

Help me find this AskMe post (what I remember): an American was thinking about traveling abroad, and was curious if, as an American, they would be unsafe/uncomfortable (in regard to foreigners' negative opinions of Americans, etc). I have been searching but to no avail. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would certainly appreciate it!

No, neither of those, the question I am thinking of was more of a generic "have you encountered a lot of adversity/problems traveling abroad as an American" type question. Thanks for the guesses, though.

My guess is: you won't in general, if you listen more than speak.

Not sure about the post.

There was this thread on the blue, where there was a lot of discussion on international opinion of Americans. Maybe you are thinking of comments you read there?

Maybe this one?

Interesting link, nelleish!

I am almost certain that the question did not address clothing, and was about travel, specifically.

How do non-American men view American women?
