I’m from Indiana. I lived in Alabama for five years. I was rarely so relieved and happy in my whole life as when I moved back up to Indiana. It’s been years now, and every winter I even bless the snow and ice because it means _I am not in Alabama any more._ And I still think your OP is whiny, sexist bullshit. ---

I’m thinking this more a girl thing than a southern thing. When out of towners approach the local girls they usually get extra good attention because they are different or extra bad attention for the same reason. Some thing, often very minor, will decide which way they swing hard. Slighty nerdy glasses? You are doomed. Slightly cute? You are golden boy now. Note, this all based on theory and not any actual interactions with live girls in any region of the solar system. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Strangely enough, Thomas Shipp and Abraham Smith were hanged in Marion, Indiana. > > Some Jewish Guy, to cover all the possible prejudices here, was inspired to write _Strange Fruit._ Yep. I would never imply that Indiana was or is some kind of racial paradise. I am familiar with my state’s fucked up history wrt to the Klan and did not mention racism in my post at all (unlike the OP, who compared southern women not being friendly enough to him to racism). ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Why the fuck would you ever move to Alabama? That’s like moving to Saudi Arabia – you’d better have a damn good reason to go to a shithole like that.

No there isn’t, but I am just trying to make friends with girls. I really don’t like guy friends because I have very little in common with guys mostly, as this thread has inadvertently pointed out, I don’t go trolling for sex and see girls as objects. I just like having girl friends and could give a shit about having guy friends. > [@Myrnalene](#): > > And I still think your OP is whiny, sexist bullshit. How is it sexist? I’m a guy talking to girls so obviously my perspective is only with girls. It seems to me you’re just trying to make an argument for arguments sake. > [@ShelliBean](#): > > What part of the state are you in? Gulf Shores…so it’s not like I’m in an Alabama-y part of the state, I’m in transplant central. ---

> [@Lord\_Ashtar](#): > > You really are the most bitter of all the old shrews, aren’t you? I acknowledged that that there’s plenty of racism in Indiana and that it has deep historical ties with the Klan, and that the OP said “it’s practically racism how much I’m looked down on down here”. Both of those things are true. What’s your problem with that? ---
