Ive been to the northeast, canada, midatlantic, and out west...there is no place like the South. It is its own unique niche within our country. Whether or not you like it it meaningless in mine and in many other southerners minds, becuase we like it. Im not going to tell you how I feel about your places of residence, because I dont care how yall do things. If one thing works for you, by all means continue doing it. However, just because things work around other parts of the nation, doesnt mean that theyll work where I'm from.
As far as dress goes, is one of those huge leather strap watches necessary? Is it necessary to have on two polos when its 90 degrees outside? I dont think so, but atleast the croakies have some functionality amongst the majority of southerners. As far as gel, you look like youre in middle school. Ive never seen any respectable business man, politician, doctor, or lawyer with gelled hair. Maybe again, because its a southern thing, but i doubt it. The reason we try and look presentable everywhere we go because thats how we were brought up. If you think that we dont have fun because of it, youve obviously never been here. If that makes us stupid, so be it. Either way, Id rather be in the South as opposed to anywhere else in the country, because its my home. If you dont like it, tough. Dont come down here. If you respect it, come and youll love it when you leave.
