Depends on the city more than the state. Wear one in Northern New York, you will will have a positive response. However, in NYC, will be negative. Wear one in Panhandle of FL, you will will have a positive response. However, in Miami, Tallahassee, or Tampa, will be negative. Wear one in Northern California, you will will have a positive response. However, in LA or San Fran, will be negative. Also, sex and color of the person could also make a "little" difference. Sometimes when they see the hat, they no longer see sex or color or anything else. However, it would be an interesting segment. Joy Villa did it in NYC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMwxHTdMfWI and it wasn't that bad. However, she is a celebrity.
