Depending on how they were raised will determine how they will treat you and what their outlook on life, women, etc. will be
The South- Texas to Florida to Virginia, out through Tennessee to Arkansas. Do you really think there is some common denominator of the men from that vast area of the country ?
Go out and have a good time. One guy from Arkansas is just one guy from Arkansas. He's not going to be any more indicative of the South than one Californian will be of the West
You know, this description could apply to men anywhere.
I love that saying. My father hailed from Columbia. I never could understand why South Carolinians had such a elevated view of themselves.
South Carolina (like VA's tidewater) is living in its own little colonial world. It had a lot of large-scale land granting done by King George III, and a lot of families (mine included) still own their plots granted from the king, or those plots confiscated from the king after the revolution. Those families are often Huguenot, welsh, or scots, heavily anglican or presbyterian, and share in the east coast literary tradition -- almost like the old money of Connecticut / RI. The common joke being: "Yes, I know you're from Charleston but only jesus can walk on water." NC was too swampy to develop any civilization during these early colonial days, so its culture only developed post-railroad, and is seen as being "Borrowed from the Yankees," what with computers and biotech and all.
The perception among these self-anointed blue-bloods is that NC, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and westward were settled by scots-irish and ulster irish hillbillies, aka Border Reivers, who were historically the "ignorant lawless peasants" (my grandparents called them "lintheads" and "dirt farmers") who shot one other over shiny trinkets, were extremely religious and impacted by the evangelical revival movement , and would be represented by today's "NASCAR culture."
