Kevin M,
Re: the northeast…it’s true. I’m a native Arkansan who spent some time in Illinois (Chicago and other parts) during college, then lived in Maryland for a few years before moving to the Boston area recently. I always took for granted how “genuine” midwesterners and southerners are and never really noticed it until I moved out here and quickly noticed the lack of it. The pace of life is just completely different, as are the attitudes…and not for the better.

For the record, I’m 29 and have no intention of getting married, at least not in the near future. Singleness ain’t so bad once you accept it. It has its ups and downs, but what lifestyle doesn’t? As they say, the devil you know is better than the one you don’t…
