Nashville is very friendly from my experience. Memphis is the least friendly city I've lived in. I'm still trying to figure out why.
Dallas is luke warm. Houston didn't seem very friendly at all. San Antonio seemed very friendly.
I don't know if making a broad generalization about a state is good. You have to break it down by city to what part of town you live in to your demographic going well with your area.

I'm genuinely surprised you'd say Memphis is unfriendly (I guess you didn't, but still shocked!). I've never heard this from anyone- and it has been the friendliest city I've lived in, hah. Nashville is nice, but I think it falls flat compared to Memphis or Chatt. Usually folks state that Memphis is poor and crime-ridden (both true to a certain extent, but not nearly as bad as folks would make you believe).
Obviously, this will be different depending on the person and their experiences, not saying you are wrong at all, just surprised.
I agree with you entirely on the Texas cities.
A little surprised that some are struggling with gauging "friendliness". This thread (and no other C-D threads on any subject) isn't a strictly controlled analysis study of each state. It's based on each individual's personal take on an area and personal experiences themselves. Then giving a general idea of what that personal opinion is. So, yes, one can gauge how friendly an area is GENERALLY over a given period of time if they have reasonable expectations.
On my visits to Dallas, Houston, El Paso and Austin I've neverhad any issues with the locals. They were very nice and went out of their way to strike up a conversation or say hello. I had the same experience in Nashville... so I guess its a tie for me although my time in TN was more limited.

I've lived in the Dallas area for almost 3 years now and it is extremely unfriendly, especially due to all the Indians, Muslims and Chinese that have taken over the region. The nicest, friendliest man I've met after I moved here was from Tennessee (He was from a small town outside of Nashville) who worked for an auto insurance company. He came to assess the damage on my car after a hail storm sometime in April 2018.
The nicest Texan I've met was a Christian man from San Marcos, TX who owns a coffee shop I used to go to in Frisco, TX near my work.

Maybe they seem unfriendly to you because you don't put out welcoming vibes to them and they easily sense you don't care for them. Have you ever thought about that?
