It sounds like you would would do better in Nashville, Birmingham, or Atlanta. Especially if you’re seeking “Southern.” Dallas is absolutely NOT Southern. The South ends somewhere around Tyler, TX. Points west are not Southern.

Or you need to give up some of your “lifestyle” wish list and look in the DFW suburbs that are bright red like Colleyville, Southlake, parts of Frisco, Fairview, etc.
“ dallas isn’t what your looking for but dallas suburbs in dallas are”

Dallas is a conservative city.
Dallas is not a southern city? Lol okay

Unfortunately, I don't think any large city would fit that description.

Based on that last election map, Frisco was almost entirely blue. One of the very few red areas is dominated mostly by a 55+ community on the west near Little Elm. I'm not sure how useful that is. That map could look different next election.

Ya I don’t need political maps to determine if a place is “ conservative “

Conservatism are values not political votes.

Dallas is conservative

Dallas is no longer the place wherein the John Birch Society thrives and the wives of local businessmen hunt down liberal diplomats only to spit in the faces. We’re not that kind of conservative anymore.

People often move to Texas from other states (up north) because they want a conservative place.
I think the funniest moment in 2021 for me was asking

Is Dallas traditional and getting the response

“ traditional how? You want to own slaves, treat women like property”

Take a conservative from th north east and one from dallas and you’ll quickly realize a massive difference
Like wise for a liberal and you’ll see just how conservative dallas really is

It seems like when I say conservative people think I’m looking for an alt right wing city

It’s too funny

& how defensive some get

"Traditional values" is extremely vague. Prior to the 1950's, it was traditional that blacks and whites didn't go to school together. Prior to the 1970's, it was traditional that women stayed home with the children (with exceptions). Prior to the 2000's, it was traditional that men dated women, and vice versa. Prior to the 2010's, cis-genderism was the traditional assumption.

You asked for something vague, and I simply pointed out how uselessly vague your question was. What exactly are the values you're seeking?

And Texas isn't the south. I grew up in the south. No one in the south considers Texas to be the south. It shares a lot in common with the south, but it is sort of its own thing.

Dallas isn't conservative, but it's probably more conservative than a lot of big cities -- especially the suburbs. But again, if you aren't asking about conservative politics, what specific values are you asking about? Do you want a city where most people think gay marriage is a sin? Or a city where most women want to stay home with the kiddos? Just come out and say what you're looking for.

What is that supposed to be a picture of? And why do you ask questions and then get so hostile when posters don't give you the answers you think they should?
