Somebody say Tennessee? Go get 'em Moose. I gotchur back.
While we're at it, I'll throw in the "worst spot for single men..." - pretty much anywhere in the midwest.
Seattle is pretty bad dor single men as well. Pretentious women with no looks or brains.
Oh right, and Teva sandals, a fondness for dread locks, and not bathing.
My husband bought a truck last fall - it's been great!
"Median" numbers can be tricky. I'm thinking that this might indicate two populations: one that's living in $263,200-and-up houses and condos, and another - probably the majority of people, although in fewer than half of houses - that's living in "old Alaska" frame shacks with unrenovated bathrooms.
The financing aspect hadn't occurred to me, but that's probably a driver for the high prices.
Geez, you sure know how to score major points with the chicks, eh?
As I said, I wonder what the standard deviations are on those figures.
Gotcha. It's an interesting question.
LOL!!!!
I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with what's been said in this thread about Seattle....The Land of Unfriendly Women to be sure. Smiles are rare and far-between, holding a door open at a shopping mall entrance for a 'lady' will get you an angry glare or worse ("I have arms, you know!" was one memorable substitute for "thank you" and a smile) and you can rest assured that the date you are on will be your last if you dare to hold the car door open, help her with her coat at a restaurant or hold her chair for her as she sits at the table.
Although I was born in Seattle and have lived here most of my life, I hate it passionately and would have left decades ago had it not been for family responsibilities. I like FR threads like this a lot, not because of the original article (which usually is a laugh) but for the insights provided by other FReepers all across the country....I'm gradually compiling a database of prospective cities to move to when my responsibilities here end.
Thanks very much for posting the article :-)
This is a golden oldie. LOL. I actually like living here, despite the liberals. I always found it easy pickins for chickees, but I did end up marrying an LA girl. ;o)
Sweet Jawjuh Peach, Tennessee ballroom gowns, Virginia debutantes, Florida beach gals, Lousianna country gal, Mississippi gals, Sweet Home Alabama girls, Texas cowgirls, Sweet Carolina-accent gals - yes indeed, the finest ladies in the land are in the South!
