Warning..don't move to Southeast TX!!(Beaumont, Port Arthur) (Houston: living in, health) - City-Data Forum

sharingan99 · 10-13-2012, 02:06 PM

So I had to move back here since a close relative passed away last year and it's been hell on wheels ever since. I decided to right this for several reasons 1. to vent 2. to warn people. So here it goes.

First of all, I know it may seem like stereo types but this is just the way the area is and if you are not like the natives here then you are considered "weird"

I am not into hunting, fishing, camo, shooting deer, trucks, mudding or misusing the English language. I cannot stand these things and I think that they are a incredible waste of time. The only things that I could actually see being useful would be hunting and fishing and that would be used to teach someone in case of a zombie apocalypse or something. The rest is pointless.

I have been stereotyped for not liking these things and I have been told more than once that something is wrong with me. Oh and by the way stereotypes are alive and kicking here. If you are hispanic and don't talk like someone from just across the border, then you are considered weird there too. I have actually had women turn me down for dates just because I did not talk a certain way. I also pronounce all of my words and articulate my words carefully.

One of my main reasons for writing this is because of dating. Just don't date here..period. Women here are average at best, but they apparently don't know that. In fact, even the fattest, ugliest woman will demand the most from you. A guy has to be good looking, athletic(think muscles) drive a nice car, have a HOUSE(not an apt) and the list goes on ..and this is for one of the ugly ones..you can imagine what the pretty ones want. Women are also pretty hostile and aggresive. No matter what you do, you will always be treated as if you owe them something even though you don't.

I am pretty much decided that as long as I live in this Moderator cut: language that I will be single forever, in fact, I probably won't be able to have kids just because I can't find a woman this nice and intelligent and can conversate well. I can't move because I now have a medical condition and my job is here and I am "locked in" While I am screwed, I am hoping that I just save one person's life by convincing them not to move here then I have done my job.

Maybe I'm not in the loop, but when did " conversate" ever become a word? I was always taught that the proper usage was "converse". That said, maybe take a weekend trip to the nearest big city. The female population will be larger and more diverse.

OK, now you need to learn to write the right word.

This whole post is weird.

The weirdest part is how you run down a whole community because you are too inept to hookup.

I have seen your posts before and I am not impressed. Sorry if the constant pain in my back prevents me from spelling two words right. I am not at all inept and I have hooked up in other places, other countries, and other parts in Texas. It is only HERE, that I have problems. You can defend this place all you want, but certain regions or even cities have their own culture. Beaumont/Pt Arthur are not anything at all like San Antonio for example or even laredo. This is the only explanation that I can think of as to why I have problems here and not there. It is not just dating either. It is just everyday social interaction. People here are rude as Moderator cut: language. If there is such a thing as southern hospitality, it is not alive here.

99,

Not trying to impress you nor defend this area south of where I live but where I do work. Just pointing out that though you say you articulate carefully maybe you are articulating the wrong word or possibly making up your own words (this will turn some women off).

Your opinion is quite bizarre as is the way you are presenting it to me. Yes the demographics and cultural influences are nothing like SA or Laredo. There is a much higher percentage of blacks and the Caucasian population has quite a bit more Cajun influence ... both differing from the 2 areas you named. I interact in this area frequently with ALL types (healthcare settings) and have no issues relating to the local populations or with any bizarre rudeness (yes, some are rude but I had far more exposure to rude behavior when I lived/visited in the northern US) . For the most part I see genuine good people with nice manners here.

I think maybe your overall attitude precedes you in meetings with the area females because your attitude in this post is quite poisonous. Probably you should move out of the area ASAP for I see things getting more stagnant in your romantic life. Obviously you are not fitting in.

Agreed.
