I've noticed that a lot of girls in their online dating profiles either describe themselves as "country girls" or seeking a "country boy". I am from northeastern Minnesota. Has this been your experience, and what does it mean in your part of the country?

I don't do online dating (yet) but I would translate "seeking country boy" to "stay away from me"
I'm guessing that this "country girl" seeking a "country boy" is looking for a stereotypical red neck type guy. A guy that drives a lifted truck, likes to hunt, wears a cowboy hat, chews Copenhagen, drinks Budweiser, eats all kinds of meat, works a blue collar job, shops at Walmart, has a perpetual five o clock shadow, owns weapons, wears jeans and camo almost exclusively, listens to rock/country music, works on his own cars and has a few cars in the front yard without wheels while his house has wheels.
"Country girl" is pretty much the same except with the almost required tramp stamp and her favorite song that she cranks up every time she hears it is "red neck woman".

I've noticed the same. I live in Kansas City and from both having experience with country culture and having taken note of the interests and hobbies listed on said personals ads, I think it means the following:
-Being laid back and easy going, being unprententious, and having lots of simple fun.
-Liking country music.
-Barbecuing.
-Pick up trucks.
-Mudding.
-Boating, tubing, jetskiing, canoeing, rafting, and other water stuff.
-Four wheeling.
-Camping.
-Fishing.
-Hunting.
-Horses.
"Country" types aren't exactly limited to truly rural areas, and it's more of a culture that also extends into some suburban areas. A lot of country types are wealthy, but those without money don't care if they're poor, they can still have fun. Just because they can't afford a brand new or expensive boat doesn't mean you won't find them out on the water. They tend to like to be themselves and aren't worried about appearing "cultured" or one upping others. They like what they like and are honest about it instead of trying to pick and choose things that are seen as prestigious or have the approval of others. While many are college educated, they are not pedantic and are turned off by pedants, and aren't pretentious about their degree. They aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and don't look down on physical work. There's a lot of diversity within "country", though, so country types will vary. It's kind of a broad, diverse category, with a broad, diverse array of people. There are some snotty and cocky country people, but for the most part I think country people are largely like what I've described.
I have rural experience in Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas, for what it's worth, and am speaking from my own experience and perspective. Personally, I've largely lost my connection with rural/country culture, but would like to be a part of it again somehow. There's a certain sense of freedom that comes along with being "country".

pretty much^ but you forget the mounted animal heads decorating the living room and transmission parts in the kitchen sink.

it means they listen to Toby Keith
actually, come to think of it, the town i grew up in now has its very own sh*tty country musician. listen at your own peril. but that's pretty much what comes to mind.

I would say this is pretty close.
