>they proceed to tell you their life story

Was it autism?

never happened

Why would you ask "how are you" if you dont want an answer?

>ask someone how they are
>they tell you how they are doing
>hurr durr why are you telling me this
what do anglos mean by this?

How do you have babies when your entire country is the embodiment of autism and Asperger's?

>what is a rhetorical question?

btw don't answer that

Usually you get a response like "I'm doing fine" or a few sentences at most. Even some people here use it to actually start a conversation but in Germany at least most would think I wanted to sit down and talk about their day over dinner or something.

>ask a question
>btw don't answer that

By having sex

yes that is in fact what rhetorical means.

So if someone asks me how am I, I am not supposed to answer?

If you lie to me again, I'll have you know I don't take kindly to such retorts.

Just say good or fine, even if you're not.

If you already know the response, why would you bother to ask?
Why would you ask something if it's not to extract meaningful information?
It doesn't make any sense to me.

it's just a form of pleasantries, like saying "hello"
yeah, you're asking a question, but its more just like you're trying to be friendly

they are good at declarative memory and willing to share

why do you all complain we don't talk and that when we talk we talk too much
pick one

how forcing anybody to lie can be considered as being friendly?

This.

Do euros not greet each other what the fuck?

Sopa de Macao.

they do, it's just Sup Forums is full of autismos

>dobrý den, jak se máš?
>velmi dobře, děkuju
is a typical greeting and response in czech

Still miles better than American small talks.
>Friend greets the cashier
>End up being a 5 min conversation of fake pleasantry.

I fucking hate the "how are you" greeting we have. Nobody actually cares.

We just say good day if we want to be polite, but dont give a single fuck about them or dont have time for additional convo.

How you doing question is legitimate opener to 1+ hour convo about why his life sucks and how much better it would be if hitler succeeded.

T. Never was in czechia.

I literally care and am open to hearing you talk about your day

...

>How are you?
I'd mostly say something like fine and maybe the reason why.
>What's up?
I'd give an elaborate answer because my current situation is more complicated to describe than my current mood.
