11/9    You know, everytime I turn on TV, I see glorified images of happy,
        pretty people running in/around LA. Just watch OC, 90210,
        Melrose's Place, LAX, etc. Why don't they show glorified
        images of people in the red states? I wanna know what people
        in Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, etc are like.
        \_ Duh.  The people who make those programs are from the blue states.
        \_ red state movie: Boys Don't Cry
           \_ and of course, 'Deliverance'
        \_ Then watch Dawson's Creek or One Tree Hill
        \_ Dey's awl happy, massa.  -John
        \_ Actually, I recently talked to a friend of mine who used to live
           in the red states, and his claim is that campus girls in places
           like Alabama are extremely attractive. -- ilyas
           \_ I used to work with a super-redneck guy who went on at great
              length about the wonders of "southern pussy."
              \_ please tell us what he told you, please!     -pimple virgin
                 \_ Well, everyone there was a northerner (including him,)
                    and sometimes we would be talking shit about how stupid
                    the south is (yes, northern rednecks look down on the
                    south also) and his response to that was always "you're
                    missing out, man: southern pussy!!!!!!"  Basically
                    he said they're hot and slutty.
           \_ ah yes, and they rather date a KKK than a Russian Jew.
              \_ Or an FOB who can't speak English.
           \_ The south is still very racist. You have to be a model-like
              non-white to make it with white chicks. There is a lot of
              pressure to conform to old-south social norms.
              \_ Wow, a south specialist speaks.  Have you actually been there?
                 Familiar with 'rebellion against authority'?  Noticed that
                 weird foreign genes are often attractive?
                 \_ Hi, I've been on a business trip to Memphis.  During the
                    several days there I've only seen one instance where blacks
                    and whites were together in a group.  That was a street
                    ensemble playing somewhere downtown.  Other than that I've
                    never seen one hanging out with the other.  BTW, people
                    there seem to be of more "pure" races.  They look either
                    "very white" (with blue eyes too) or "very black".  I
                    didn't see a spectrum of whites or a spectrum of blacks
                    like what we have here.  Oh and if you're thinking about
                    H07 4ZN CH1X, I only saw three working in a warehouse and
                    they're not hot and they look very out-of-place.
                    -- !prev poster
                    \_ Sounds a lot like what I saw in Berkeley.
                       \_ Your comment hints that you really don't understand
                          the degree to which race relations differ in CA vs
                          The South/Texas.  They are a world apart.
                       \_ The west coast strikes me as more self-segregated
                          than the east coast.  That being said the south is
                          much worse than around here.
           \_ There are attractive people everywhere, but the Southern
              belle is not a total myth. The same is true of Texans (who are
              only vaguely Southern). I think that there have been shows
              glorifying the Southern lifestyle. For example, Designing
              Women. These are the Southern elites, though, and not the
              white trash that is so common. --guy dating a girl from AL
              \_ Attractive or not, most of the girls from southern states,
                 including Texas, that I've known have been a lot more easy-
                 going about men and relationships in general (that's not to
                 say just "easy".)  There was a lot less attitude, and they
                 seemed far less standoffish and threatened when dealing with
                 men.  This has been especially true for educated southern
                 women I've known (all of whom are fairly uniformly not-Bush-
                 -voter-types, FWIW) -John
                 \_ tell us about the German, Swiss, and Jew women John!!!
                    \_ Why?  You won't be able to hit on them one-handed.
              \_ I might add that even in 'Dukes of Hazzard' (which
                 Southerners hate), 'Smokey and the Bandit', and 'Dallas'
                 the female characters were quite attractive.
                 \_ Barbara Bach had mad cellulitis.
                 \_ Southerners hate "Dukes of Hazzard?"  Dang.  I went to
                    high school in Northern CA, and I had a printmaking
                    class.  I was working though lunch to finish a
                    project, and 3 or 4 of the hicks in my class came
                    in and watched Dukes of Hazzard in the room during
                    lunch.  This was apparently a normal thing.
                    \_ This doesn't compute. The hicks in your NoCal class
                       watched 'Dukes of Hazzard'? What hicks exist in
                       NoCal? Whatever the case they certainly aren't
                       Southern Whatever the case they certainly aren't
                       Southern.

                       \_ "What hicks exist in NoCal?"  Are you joking, or
                          have you just never been north of Sacremento?
                          Try Willows, Gridley, Redding, Reb Bluff, or
                          Chico.  Full O` Hicks. This story took place in
                          Chico.
                          \_ Never been north of Sacramento. What does
                             a Northern hick have to do with Southerners?
                             \_ They're the same species really. Pickup trucks
                                with gun racks, lots of flags, etc.
             \_ My sister and my roommate both went to Ole Miss. I've visited
                many times. No question, hottest campus girls I've ever seen.
                \_ Southern girls actually believe in make-up, shaving,
                   hair spray, and that kind of stuff that girls at Berkeley
                   don't know exists.
        \_ you know, you got a point that most shows are centered around the
           blue states, like NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, Hawaii, and even
           Seattle. They really should have shows in rural Florida or
           West Virginia. I'm sick of the fake boob Bay Watch girl. I'd
           definitely watch the red state shows to check out natually hot
           racist southern belles.
           \_ Simple Life
             \_ blue state women hitting on red state men-- not particular
                interesting. I wanna see hot southern belles man!!!
