Personal space is dependent upon many variables. One's age, sex, culture, and even the average temperature where you live can all affect the individual enforcement of personal space distances. In the United States, the average social distance is about 3.1 feet (0.9 m), personal distance is about 2.3 feet (0.7 m), and intimate is 1.6 feet (0.5m). Someone who is female and/or older would tend to have a larger distance with a stranger. Someone who is older and/or from a warmer region would tend to have a larger intimate distance.
