Is There A Difference Between Southern Men And Northern Men? (American, looking)

[Swampbird]

Southern men are a little too stoic for me - I am not much into the strong, silent type. I can open my own doors, that's not a biggie for me if someone does not do that.

I like southern men.
"Why don't ya all come over and watch sum footbawl?"

"Yess a ma'me."

Yes, southern guys are more into the country, rural aspect and talk about such related topics. That whole Southern Hospitality thing only works if the guy is nice enough or if you're white. They tend to have a lot of pride too.

Northern guys are more handsome (imo), and talk about various topics based on where they are from (rural, city, suburban, etc.). They tend to be more eccentric and artsy, more trendy, more diverse (race, cultural, etc.)...

...I miss visiting NYC.

I think there's a different, but ill be talking about mid western men.

Mid west men :
Well, that's who I date. They straight to the point usually, good guys.

Southern men:
The southern hospitality is just too much for me and the yes ma'am is just too much and annoying and fake to me.

There's good men everywhere though.

Probably no real difference in 2015. Actually, a gentleman now-a-days from semi-rural Maine probably has more in common with someone from small town Alabama then two individuals residing in Boston and Charlotte. Instead of an arbitrary and somewhat antiquated north/south divide, behavioral demeanor's often tend to follow a more urban/suburban/rural socio-economic line more so than anything else.

Other than that most people look more or less the same in terms of ethnicity wherever you go in the country, only exception is that the Northeast might have a slightly higher percentage of darker hued white men.

Yup.

[Metaphysique]

Big difference, and I wasn't really into Southern men in the classic sense.

Time and time again I've seen northerners apply for a job and get it because of their reputation for getting it done, b/c southerners spend too much time with their thumb in the bum. So who would feed the family more readily based on that reputation?

As a guy that is straddling the geographical line between midwestern, southern, and southwest I can say that NE people always seem the most abrasive to me. Then again I'm sure I seem slow to someone from Jersey.
