What exactly are "northern men"? The bigger difference would be men who come from small towns (southern) and big city men (Los Angeles, New York). Actually, I've noticed quite a difference between east coasters and west coasters and their attitudes towards everything in general.
Yes northern men lack physical work ethic, cuth, piety, sense of history and the sense of family importance. .... I married a Yankee boy but dream of southern men!
Philly girl by way of Alabama- two totally different worlds!
Well, that seems a bit harsh but to be honest I haven't lived up North.
I'm Southern, but all I know is we say "y'all" like it's no big deal, but I'm not sure how the north would react to it.
The nation and everyone in general are diverse so I wouldn't stereotype them like we are doing. lol
As somebody who's lived in both Pennsylvania and Georgia, I find "Southern hospitality" to be disingenuous. In Pennsylvania, I know who likes me and who doesn't. In Georgia, it's much harder to tell because everybody's being "polite." Maybe it's the Pennsylvanian in me, but I value blunt honesty over politeness.

I agree about the southern hospitality business, but from a slightly different perspective. From my experience, "southern hospitality" usually applies to others who are also from the south. If you're from the north your mileage will vary.
I've been down south in several states on several occasions and it isn't any more friendly or hospitable than NYC...a city that is notoriously and falsely accused of being rude and unfriendly.

See, anybody who has half-decent perception can tell the difference between civility and friendliness.

See, it really depends on how you behave. I mean, just because there's a Gap and a Target and an Olive Garden in your neighborhood, doesn't mean that it's a carbon copy of whatever burg you came from up North. I think the biggest problem people have adjusting here is understanding that there are indeed nuances to how you deal with others.
Mind you, these nuances aren't terribly hard to figure out. You just have to be aware of them in the first place. Look at it this way. You wouldn't move to Tokyo and behave towards others just the way you did back in Cleveland, would you? Then why would you do the same in Mississippi or South Carolina?
a northern man says,"you can"......a southern man says, "y`all can"....just like a southern girl....both are sluts
Interesting.
