She is right. The emails i get would make a woman enter a nunnery. I have given up on meeting a decent man . got out of this state once, but it has a way of sucking you back in. most men want to have their cake and eat it too.

I agree, whole-heartedly with your statement. The vast population of North Carolina (men, and women) are essentially worthless. That's right, you heard me, I said it. The majority of the state is filled with wanna-be "good ol' boys" and wanna-be "Southern Belles"- both of which have neither the charm, the wherewithall, the civility, the intelligence, or the upbringing to pull it off. I've lived in the same town all my life (except for when I went away to college), and have been to and through enough places, and met enough people from various places to have seen a large portion of it for myself.
That being said, note that I said the "vast majority" of North Carolina. Not all. Just... a whole heck of a lot. Im in the same boat as you (the original poster), but on the flip-side in terms of women. They all seem to be either 'trashy' or 'daddy's little girl'- polar opposites and yet still extremely detestable.
All I can say is best of luck to you (and anyone, Female OR Male) in finding a "diamond in the rough"!

Dullrazor, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and if you will bear with me, here is my opinion of your remarks.
To say that "The vast population of North Carolina (men, and women) are essentially worthless" is an obvious slap in the face to your friends and neighbors. And trying to soften your statement by noting a difference between "vast majority" and "a whole heck of a lot" is somewhat contradictory. A majority, I'm sure you know, is statistically above 50%. I think I am correct in translating "vast majority" to mean well over 50%; whereas "a whole heck of a lot" could easily mean 10% or 25%....still a lot of "essentially worthless"....worthless...North Carolinians.
At 22 years old, you may have been to or "passed through" a number of places, but let me put this in good ole boy redneck terms....you ain't seen shit.
Again, that's just my opinion and if you wish to see it as the opinion of a rambling, senile old fart, go right ahead....you are entitled to your opinion....but frankly young man, you have not impressed me in the least. And I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

If you take it as a "slap in the face of my friends and neighbors", so be it. Disecting the difference between "vast majority", "majority", and "a whole heck of a lot" is splitting hairs. But, if you'd like split hairs, then I'll get the strop and straightblade out.
Vast: meaning unusually large in size, extent degree, or number.
+
Majority: I suppose you were speaking of a simple majority as opposed to a super-majority, which would in fact be over 50% as you so aptly pointed out.
=
Vast Majority: An unusually large number of people, over the majority. Surely one can stipulate that in terms of millions of people 51% is far less than... 65% (number being arbitrarily picked).
As for the definition of "whole heck of a lot", that's nothing more than a blanket term used in the vernacular, if you will. No different than "a coon's age". While you could argue the fact that a 'coon's age' is definable, the addage arose sometime during the 1800's, and was merely meant to mean "a long time". Just as "a whole heck of a lot" is commonly used to half-heartedly quantify a large number. even if it were to correspond with... 1% of the people, 1% of NC's population is a substantial amount of people in terms of raw numerical value.
And, I feel the need to reiterate after that wall of text, that I am not putting ALL of the people in said category, just a very large amount of them. (Oh wait, maybe I should have said "vast majority" or a definate percentage so as to prevent it from being victimized by questions of semantics)
To presume that I haven't "seen shit" due to my age is silly, no sillier than presuming because you are part of the "over 60" crowd, that you refer to the civil rights movement as "Trouble ahead". An entirely baseless, and no doubt false claim that I merely used to illustrative purposes. I could go on and on about what I *have* seen, and HAVE been a party to (on the receiving end), but this is neither the time, nor the place to do so. No good Sir, I have "seen shit".
I could go on and on... and write a veritable essay defending and illustrating my position, but I have neither the time and/or inclination. Confining my statement to the original context of the discussion, the men and women here are worthless in terms of dating. As an aside, dont think for one instance that I am in any way retracting my statement, I am merely applying it to the context of the conversation at hand.
So yes... as more than a few woman have pointed out in this thread, NC men are generally low quality. To those who say "look in different places", I would reiterate to them: you can spray as much air freshener on a pile of garbage as you want, its still garbage. A fancy suit, a nice car, a good job... it doesn't change their lack of worth as suitable partners, which- as I mentioned already a "whole heck of a lot", the "vast majority" of NC is- men AND women.
And frankly, good Sir... I have no intention, desire, or inclination to "impress you". So that little quip has fallen on proverbial "deaf ears".

Razor,
Just curious - do you include yourself in that 'vast majority' of worthless people in NC?

Razor,

In the context of the conversation pertaining to dating, which I could have sworn I redirected my statement toward- no. I neither cheat on women, expect to get into their pants on the first few dates. I am drug free, disease free. I've never laid a hand on a woman. I open car doors, and doors in general. I pay for the date, etc. etc. (not a comprehensive checklist, merely a dissection of one)
However, if you want to extrapolate that to a broader sense of overall societal worth, then yes, I can include myself in that wide array of people for the time being. I pose no real benefit to society as a whole at the moment. I no longer volunteer my time and effort to charitable organizations as I did only a few short months ago, I am unemployed- both of which due to my recent switch of locale, < 2 weeks.
So, the answer to the question is both a yes and no.
And, as they say on the internet: Fail trap is fail.

Essentially, its kind of a somewhat common saying. You basically apply whatever it is, to the situation, twice. Like...
If I was talking about a broken down car, I'd say "broken car is broken"
If I was talking about a difficult math problem, "hard math problem is hard"
I was merely asserting that altje essentially, in my estimation (which can be totally off, of course) attempted to lay a trap by 'tricking' me into saying that "No, I'm not one of those people", at which point I would be ripe for any number of "Oh, so everyone else is, but you?" comments. I feel that by admitting that in one of the contexts the term could be used in, I do meet the criteria to be considered 'worthless', thus disarming the trap. The 'attempt' failed.
Add that to the explanation of the phrase and we get: fail trap is fail.
Hope that helps.
Also, sorry if the post doesnt make much sense, I had a late night last night and am up early to take muh Gramma to the doctor, so my lack of sleep+small hangover is no doubt resulting in a lack of coherence.

I've attempted to refrain from being impolite in this thread. I've never cared much for broad generalizations and I really don't like all-purpose bashing of an entire group of people. I wonder why folks who are obviously so unhappy here in North Carolina stay. My broad generalization for the day is that it's the very folks who hate it here who make this a less pleasant place to live. I've lived other places. Granted, I've always lived in the South. I'm reasonably well-traveled. I have friends who are foreign-born, friends who are from other parts of the country, and, yes, a bubba or two. I find that, barring some cultural variations, people are about the same wherever you go. If you consistently find yourself surrounded by people you find unpleasant or "low-quality," then perhaps you need to reevaluate the kind of person you attract.
And, bless your heart, dull razor. Somewhere along the line you've gotten a bit of education. It's obvious from your vocabulary. You should be proud of that. You, are, however, only 22 and hopefully you have a lot of life ahead of you. You will find as you get older (and I'm not trying to be patronizing. This is coming from someone who has been where you are), that as you mature, you will become a lot more tolerant of peoples' weaknesses and failings and may even grow to love some of them in spite of or even because of those failings.
It's an amazing world around us. If you are unhappy with the life you are living or the people that are surrounding you, you have the ability to change that. I would posit, though, that a lot of it is in your own worldview. I'm a happy person who sees a lot of good in people. Because I choose to look for the good, people tend to show me more of what's of value in them.
