" there are no plays, restaurants, or nightlife to speak of, the hospitals suck, the public transportation sucks, the museums suck,"

Who are all these wussy guys wanting to go to plays and museums? They would have much more fun at a baseball or football game.

Southern men are indeed apt to be more physically violent,when violence is actually called for.
What makes a Southern Man the preferred form of "USA, Grade A Choice" to almost all the women I have ever known, is they are not generally verbally abusive, and tend not to create confrontational "situations" where violence is expected.
Put more simply, they wont start a fight, but they will end one.
Yankee's just dont know when to shut up.
I, along with most women, get extremely nervous when men go into confrontational mode with each other.That old saying, "do you want to step outside", probably originated in the south.
OTOH,I much prefer a man like my former husband, who rarely raised his voice in anger, and the few times he did react to male provocation, dropped the antagonist with one well placed lightning fast punch, and kept a polite smile on his face throughout the exchange.
That may be where the confusion comes in for Yankees.They seem to prefer shouting matches and threatening postures, as opposed to true civility.
I will always choose to be around men who feel no need to prove their testosterone levels to lessor males, but who, if pushed, do not hesitate to end the "unpleasantness" quickly, quietly and efficiently.
Long live Southern men!

We need plays and museums so that our wives and girlfriends have something to do while were are at Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Giants Stadium, and the Continental Arena, watching big-time, major league sports, and I don't mean the demolition derby and sack racing contests.
