And the Cali boy's who have potential, are conceited.

My girlfriend and I were just discussing this (again) yesterday over lunch. Having dated guys who were from originally Ohio, Philly, New York, I had long ago noticed a significant difference between men in other parts of the country and California men. It's not just AA men either--I've heard women from all types of ethnicities complaining about CA men.
I think part of the problem here is that many people MOVE FROM somewhere to move to Cali, so there's this really weird feeling of "unreality" --of folks trying to create a new "them" different from whatever they're running from. There's also not a sense of extended family (or really family at all) like I've seen in other parts of the country, and for many, their "friends" are their only family in CA. There's no passing down of family traditions or even respect for the family unit, 'cause sometimes they've come to CA to get AWAY from that family unit. Individualism is really encouraged and expected here. It's not considered unusual AT ALL for guys to still be "unattached" and playing the field well in their 30s, 40s and 50s here and there's no real incentive from the family that's not here anyway to get "attached."
On another thread about CA men, I joked that I would start a dating service that gets newly transplanted CA guys straight from the airport and wisks them to a woman's home before they're contaminated with the "playa posse freaky CA gene".
((Still calculating the start-up costs)).
