everyone know that USA is a big and fascinating country, so
I would need of your knowledge about this question : are there still places (villages, cities, states ..) in USA where people have (exactly or approximatly) the way of living/mentality of 50s ?
about that i mean for exemple where girls are serious and behave like girls (not like men) and wear like women too, where people respect eachothers , and live with principes and traditions like before ...
maybe fews people could be offended or upset about my questions but it's not the goal , i don't want create a polemic, i need just informations from people they know what i mean. And if you give me names of places , please to say exactly in detail how it is .
thanks in advance at everyone who will answer me
(sorry for my english, it's not my native language)

You can even still find a lot of that in big cities and suburbs, at least among some people.
thanks i situate Midwest, but it's a vast area
you are right about fact was also before 1950 , just when we say 50s everyone understand how people lived , and differences between this time and now.
about father go to work and mother stay at home for educate many childrens it's only one of features , but most important it's human relations of this time , after that it's what we call "liberation of women" in France, with a minority of positive points and many negative points (from my opinion) , disastrous for the relations between men and women in the couple.
so above all to know where people still live with traditions, principles (often religious), culture ...

Lol if you really want that, figure out how to reverse entropy so you can go backwards in time.
Seriously speaking though, even many 'conservative' states don't have the de facto social rules of the 1950's. The closest you might ever get to that are in extremely religious communities. One big place I can imagine is Utah. I was actually talking to a Mormon from Utah recently, and he says he appreciates how his state has "morals that agree with him", mentioning things like how they don't smoke weed. Utah, or at least SLC I think, is also trying to ban porn? It seems like a pretty button-down state. Talking to mormon recruiters is a bit surreal... their mannerisms are reminiscent of stereotypical salesmen/women from the 50's.
So Utah would be my recommendation. Just realize that you'd have to convert to be fully integrated into Mormon society, and I'm not sure how crazy they'll be about a man who just wants to join their religion for the women.
Because the cost of living is so high, there are very few women anymore in the U.S. who never work outside the home. They may take some years off when their children are very young, but that's about it. And if they are single mothers the chance to even do that is very limited. It's not like western Europe with lots of generous state benefits when women have children.
Those traditional families -- husband at work, wife keeps house and stays home with the kids --tend now to be wealthier families that can afford to live on one income because the husband is a high-earning lawyer, doctors, engineer, executive, or some other such profession. So if you want areas like that, you'd usually be looking at wealthier suburbs may tend to be coand neighborhoods of big cities that are close to a lot high-paying jobs. They exist in or near most big cities in the U.S. The other place to look for families like that is near military bases, where often the wife is at home with kids because the husband is deployed, and the general outlook of the area tends to be conservative and traditional. But even many of these women will work once their kids are no longer very young.
If you leave off that family structure -- which looks like its very important to you -- you can find friendliness and neighborliness all over the U.S. People may think it's only in small towns or farm communities, or only in the southern or midwest states. Not true at all. As long as you are not the judgmental type, open to local customs, are willing to help out your neighbors, leave your ethnic and religious prejudices behind, and keep your lawn mowed (or your stoop swept if you live in a city), there are very few places in the U.S. where you can't find good neighbors with good values. Despite the problems and bad stuff you may see on the news or read in the papers, the U.S is still a very, very good place!

Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for
How much of this post is based on your first-hand experience and how much is based on heresay? 'Cause it sounds awfully stereotypically biased to me.
I apologize. I watch a lot of mini-docs and talk around and absorb what I can. It can come off as stereotyped, so again, I apologize if it is off the mark and if I misrepresented your group. I am very interested in hearing about your experience so I can learn more about the culture and be less ignorant.

yes sure that it would be the best way to backward in time )) but of course we know it's impossible so..

probably it's right that they would be not happy that a foreigner come in their society , same if it's not specially for women but it's one of reason

thanks for your participation
so yes , in west europe governement help for women stay at home and educate children but majority will not do , because they will not care, they want a career , they are not interested anymore in this duty , they don't conciderate anymore it's a respectable work to educate childrens seem ...
then state benefits is not enough , need to have mentality with it
i believe american people are friendly and its more near of my ideal than for exemple french society. in USA like i saw in TV they try to make a safe and pleasant society , often rural. big cities it's another story and i would be not interested i think because it's too much cosmopolite.
