Yeah, that's where I grew up and while I don't know exactly which story you're talking about, the dude had every right to shoot the dude what was fucking his wife. That's just common sense. I'll tell you this, though, much like any outlier culture, the white trash and outlaws generally keep to themselves and don't try and bother others unless you're in a bar or on a sandbar or island where they like to hang out. Then they're going to try and adopt you in. But, in that instance, you're kind of bringing it on yourself*. Generally, if you're not messing with them, they're not messing with you. A transplant coworker summed it up really well when he said that all of the Florida rednecks that he came across carried this attitude that they're all for love unless you're not. I really think this sums it up. Florida folks are all about good times and keeping the party going, unless someone else isn't. Then they may try to pick a fight or kill them. I'll use Crown as an example. Most would probably invite him to have a seat at the bar. They'd ask some astoundingly dumb questions about Canada, but as long as you're in the rotation for buying rounds, you're in and the jokes are funny and everyone is civil. However, the minute Crown says something about inbred hillbillies, he'd probably get his ass kicked. He'd walk away with this attitude that Florida folks are murderous hillbillies who shouldn't be allowed to have a say in anything. He'd forget the part where he was part of the crowd and everyone was having a good time. You can't say the same about retirees. Those fucks moved to Florida with a preconceived notion of what the place was like and then set their will on changing everything until it fit their ideals. There are now public lakes with operating hours and curfews because snowbirds built homes on them and don't like the frog giggers and fishermen who have fished on those bodies of water at night for generations. So, they go to city council meetings, plead with other retirees and donate pretty much ever waking moment of their retired lives to changing things. Fuck them. I'd far rather deal with a little petty theft here and there than deal with some fuck from Ohio who thinks he can move down there and run the place. *You can also have a fuckload of fun.
Buffets are not buffets in your country. They are troughs. Not one would pass a health inspection up here with the strict guidelines they have, it's incredible how untidy and nauseating they are.
Every time I read posts about the South, I thank God I live in a state that has 4 seasons, legalized pot, and the second most non-religious state in the country.
I have yet to come across someone who lived in the north and moved south or lived in the south and moved north who didn't confess that Southern women as a whole were more attractive than anywhere else in the country. Including Chicago, Parker.
We have four seasons. Shit, we even get snow every 5 years or so. And there are plenty of non religious people here... we just don't bother with trying to shut up the loudmouth bible thumpers. We're just here to drink beer and shoot something.
Truth. Every time I see pictures of tailgates from southern universities it makes me depressed I didn't go out of state. Maybe it's because they don't really have all four season they need to keep the beach body year round...
I don't think anyone would argue that fact. You can argue specific cities but not a region. Shit, I LOVE Chicago and think women here get a bad rap (for example, Tucker's bullshit about cute face and fat ass. Maybe if he wasn't trolling for drunk chicks in shitty bars) but by and large, its just a bunch of Midwestern chicks. While it is home, the Midwest has probably the least care for aesthetics of anywhere I've been. Southern girls are taught early on to be turned up to HOT at all times, its been bred into their DNA. There is a reason dudes snap their neck and pounce up here if they hear an accent and its a Southern girl. And its not just the accent alone.
I think this is accurate. I live about 2 hours out of Chicago and when I head up for a Cubs game I get whiplash because there are so many more attractive women there than here. Yet if you head south it's a different world.
California is really big, with several culturally distinct pockets. San Fran is progressive, and home to a ton of start-ups, but also expensive as fuck. Like, you have to put a year deposit down to rent an apartment expensive. LA is a clusterfuck all its own, but generally it's probably more of what Crown's talking about. Watts and Compton aren't exactly beauty pageants though. San Diego is a coastal town, which always has good weather. That's reflected. Oakland has the black people. That's reflected. The middle of Cali is super rural, not unlike upstate NY. Nice country, but it's not particularly liberal.
This. Aside from the vast array of eye candy, every time I'm in Chicago it seems like the women are a 1000x more enjoyable to talk to and don't put up a front. There's a reason why I travel there at least once every year.
I spent a year at the University of Colorado before my refusal to do anything other than hallucinate and ski required a change of venue, but the girls there were easily the equal to any Southern state school I have seen. Then again this was 20 plus years ago, so maybe I just have warped memories.
I'm a CU alum, class of 2009. I wouldn't compare CU to say an SEC school in terms of girls. It just wouldn't be a fair fight.
CU class of 2011. It's not even close. The SEC schools I've been to have far better looking women. CU women are alright but nothing really special. However, women in Boulder are more approachable than women at the SEC schools and are generally more fun to talk to and hang out with. Also, and no one here is going to believe me, but North Dakota has hot women. I couldn't believe it. I thought they would be gross farm girls but no. They were hot as hell and really cool.
Maybe somebody could answer me this about Florida: why do hot girls seem to like boozing and partying with their mothers down there so much? Is this some sort of fad or something?
