Why is it so hard to have simple interaction with other men?

I think it's something cultural, depending on the place you live. I'm from Brazil, where people usually are warm and receptive. Well, at least in Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, where anyone could start talking to you, especially man-to-man and with subjects like beer, women, weather, politics and most common: soccer. I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, the southest state. Here, we don't usually start conversations with strangers unless we have to. We are more "closed".

Talking about warmth, then Northeast (Salvador is a hallmark) is probably unbeatable.

Yeah, I believe it. I just used the Sao Paulo/Rio de Janeiro example because people from other countries tend to known only these places. And also because I personally had never been to Northeast and was already shocked with how people in Rio de Janeiro like to be really close to talk and tend to touch each other so much more than down here. Here in Rio Grande do Sul, we even have the expression that "we don't show our teeth to anyone" to exemplify how we don't talk to or smile to strangers.
