Jackie-JetJockey is right. You need to get out more. See a little more.

PUT THE MAKEUP DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE MIRROR!

Here's a little bit of info about cowboys...

Cowboy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article specifically mentions four traditional types of cowboys; Texas, Florida, Hawaii, and lo and behold...the California Cowboy. Check it out. Yep, lots of ranches in California. Have you heard of Bakersfield? How about the Bakersfield sound?

Here's a sample.


YouTube - buck owens & the buckaroos - i've got a tiger by the tail

That was great! Here's another.


YouTube - Merle Haggard - Mama Tried (1968 live TV performance)

And a little more recently.

Great stuff!

Per usual I'm missing two of the three quote icons and the edit icon. So, I cannot edit the above post. Apparently the cowboy link didn't work.

Here's the link and a snippet.

Geography, climate and cultural traditions caused differences to develop in cattle-handling methods and equipment from one part of the United States to another. In the modern world, remnants of two major and distinct cowboy traditions remain, known today as the "Texas" tradition and the "Spanish", "Vaquero", or "California" tradition. Less well-known but equally distinct traditions also developed in Hawaii and Florida

Eastern NM reporting in here.

My answer to the question- hell yes, I would date a cowgirl.. there's something about a girl in fitted jeans and boots that gets my engine revving.

I know it's not real, but..

Actually... there are a few farms and ranches in Orange County. The CA University at Irvine has a nice size farm, and I bought my steer at an auction that was held at the OC Fair/Event center. I also went to a few horse shows and livestock shows there.

It's all around you...you just choose not to see it.

Now, the thing is she was raised in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan.....not exactly ranch or farm country! Me, raised on a hog farm in Indiana.
So, would any of you ladies or men out there in C-D Relationship Land consider dating a rodeo cowboy or cowgirl? Now, I'm not talking about a full-time/traveling-career like one, only the weekend/local type (like I was).
Just very, very curious!!

A real cowboy/rodeo/rancher - yes they exist. I have dated them - and would love to find another one!

I'm going to the PBR event at the Superdome this Friday so will let y'all know if'n I rope me one of them fine boys...

If I was single (duh) and he was an all-rounder (intelligent, good conversationalist, reads boooks etc) then hell yeah I'd date him. I'd be worried about injuries though, same as if I was dating a cop, axman etc.

I'm not into the cowboy look 100% of the time, but I would definitely date someone who could pull it off with the right fashion elements (i.e. nice designer-type western shirt and distressed jeans, for example). But I'm not into the whole 'Wrangler' look (Wrangler jeans, huge belt buckle, cowboy boots, etc.)

I like to incorporate certain elements of western wear into my wardrobe, but I'll never completely be what I would consider a 'western' dresser.
