What these rude people are trying to say is to have better judgment when picking guys to date. In my experience 6 out of 10 people are toxic. Other folks you might have a good chance at making a new friend or partner. Good luck.

You paint with a mighty broad brush, Ms Christian. Wasnt there something in the bible about judging others?
How about you just dont date anyone for a while and figure out exactly what you are looking for. No group deserves the kind of mean spirited description you gave.
So a single person that might like another single person is wrong? Am I missing something. Church is also a place to meet people. I find people at churches to be a little weird in general, so I don't go too often.

Most of the singles who go to church to meet mates are either neurotics, anti-social, or just plain weird.
Smoky Topaz, can't you find another job in a larger city and move there? Small towns in the south (and probably elsewhere) have no real diverse groups of people to meet and socialize with. You know that, I know that, so if you would rather seek out a different selection, you are just going to have to move to a bigger city. Beware though, many traits which you see in those "good old southern boys" can be found in generally every ethnic/racial group.
She is probably only referring to the men she has known not southern men in its entirety. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt that she means the southern men that she has known and the ones whom have given her a hard time.

Hey, I'm so glad I found this forum! I agree totally with another poster on here who says that guys in bigger areas are way cooler than small-town country boys. I am so fed up with Southern guys! Uuugh! They are the biggest losers out there in the dating pool..hell, they'd rather be dating their overweight,butch-cut,tattooed half-sister than a lady like me who's got some class!They are rude, standoffish, ignorant, and don't give a damn about women. They seem to expect women to wait on them hand and foot. I mean, what is up with these men's lust for floozie women and the way they only date and then marry their childhood sweethearts?? Ick! Let me get an amen here from somebody.
My latest Southern disappointment was this guy from Shiloh who goes to my church group, dips Skoal, says he'd call-didn't. I have yet to meet a Southerner his age who doesn't act this way. Women, date Yankees. Date mid-westerners, westerners...foreigners...hell, you can date Arabic men and still do a whole lot better.
Most of my "exes" were somewhat foreign. Had different mixes of ethnicities. I have dated a nice New Yorker, a Wisconsin native,a Spanish mix Southern Californian. and have been propositioned or chatted up with by guys with mixed heritages. Even the not-great ones are better than the average Southern good ol' boy. I guess I will see the day I end up with a nice foreign guy. They are not perfect, but they are better than what you get in Dixie. I could go on all day about htis, but I realize I have to share this board. Happy dating.
Hmmmmmm well, I guess that other people have had different experiences than I have. During my single years I dated plenty of southern boys while I was in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Texas and I never had this problem. I dated everything from lawyers to cowboys to construction workers to EMTs to computer programmers, and frankly enjoyed every minute of it. Now, mind you, I have been very lucky to have good taste in men and able to tell a loser a mile and a half away.
I think there are good guys and lousy guys everywhere. You cannot paint everyone with the same broad brush just because of where they live. I have met (not dated, of course) some might strange birds from the NE and from big cities too, so generalizations don't work, IMHO Other than I never met a farmer or cowboy yet that I didn't find to be a wonderful, charming guy. Maybe you are misunderstanding them.
She flung out a huge and rather dumb generalization like that, and she doesn't think she's part of the problem? I thought I was pretty gentle with her.
Well offer us all some enlightening advice. How can you judge if a person is a loser from a mile away? What makes a person stand out as a loser? Do tell.
