Like Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind" you don't know if you want to F@@@ her or kill her I think that's what makes most women so appealing!!

Isn't this board all about opinions and differences thereof? In my neck of the woods the majority of southern girls I meet are far more manipulative and sneaky then the majority of Northerns I meet.
I've lived all over the north and south. I'm 49 to your 24 years. I think you're just green or still wet behind the years. Probably the real problem is that the local girls just aren't into to you. And your generation is far different than the days of the genteel. The girls your age here? They tend to be much less ladylike and don't have a clue what self respect is. And it's rare to run into anyone but northern/midwestern girls up here. The more mature girls, they tend to be more polite.
In SW Michigan, people are polite. They aren't friendly, they are polite. And you never know when they are mad at you, very passive aggressive.

This is just cute. Tongue in cheek. Yeah, I think I shall start referring to my apartment as The Plantation:
How to be a Southern Belle
All Southern women strive to be belles
Difficulty Level: hard Time Required: 10,512,000 minutes
Here's How:
- Offer Mint Julep or Iced Tea to everyone who visits your house.
- Eat grits everyday for breakfast.
- Refer to your house as "The Plantation" no matter how small your house may be.
- Refer to all men as "gentlemen caller" or "beaux".
- Never let a man know you're interested or chase him because you know there are too many men who want you for you to expend the extra effort.
- When you have a dating dilemma and have one gentleman caller over when you are expecting another, claim to be "expired" and excuse yourself for a nap until he leaves.
- Whenever you are asked to do any work, fan yourself and claim to have the "vapors."
- Refer to every party you go to, even a kegger at the local university, as a "cotillion." All other parties are yankee garbage.
- Try to use words like "darlin'", "sweet" or "precious" in every sentence.
- Belong to a country club. If you don't, refer to any club you belong to as a "country club". No one will know the difference.
- Set under a magnolia tree with a parasol fanning yourself often. Passers-by will take notice of your belle-ness.
- Never marry a Yankee unless you want to be a Yankee by association.
- Never be seen without your makeup and girdle.
Tips:
- A parasol and an umbrella are not the same thing. If you refer to your parasol as an "umbrelly" you will never be a belle.
- Being a belle is a lifetime of work so practice everyday.

Just a note on Paula Deen. Is it just me, or does this woman speak like she's half retarded? It seems she takes the English language, chews it into bloody chunks, and spits it out in messy gobs. "Mmmmmm mmmmmm. dussent thayt look goood y'all?"

"Mmmmmm mmmmmm. dussent thayt look goood y'all?"
She hams it up because that's what people expect and they pay good money to hear it.

Don't get me wrong. I like her recipes. It's just that the way she talks is the audio equivalent of having a frozen dishrag drug through your urethra. Call me a bigot if you must, but the southern accent sounds terrible to my ears. No offense intended. I hate spoken french too. Ugh. Too much "poo poo pffft plubbbbll pommp bleggldeygoop".
Doesn't make me a bad guy.

Some southern accents are beautiful and some hit the ears kind of hard. I think if you heard my grandmother from Mobile, you'd change your mind. She had almost a New England lock jaw with a bend in it. Very sexy and charming.

Funny, but as a lifetime southerner, I have only hooked up with yanks, and midwestern, and foreign ladies. I guess I like the southern ladies, but maybe they want the outsiders too. Weird. Oh wait, my first true love was a southerner from Washington NC....but I was 16 and still wish I had married her...........................................................................oompa

My first husand was raised in Chicago. Andy is from Michigan. The current guy I am dating is from Chicago and Indiana. My second husband, a JW, was southern. I don't know his obnoxious qualities could be blamed on the southernness. I think his obnoxious qualities came from being raised a second generation JW. Not that he was completely obnoxious.
