unfriendlier
Less warm toward
Unfriendlier is the comparative form of unfriendly—more cold, distant, or hostile than something else: The new manager was even unfriendlier than the last one.
Like other comparatives of multi-syllable adjectives, it competes with the phrase "more unfriendly," which some find less awkward.
