Do you judge many cities based on your buddies taste in women or just Seattle?


No that's the first time I've gotten feedback like that

In other words it's as crime free as it gets in this country?

I'll admit, if you need your women caked in make-up to find them attractive, the PNW isn't for you.

Florida spiny lobster is better than Maine in my opinion


First of all, let me applaud you for making it clear you’re stating your opinion.

Secondly, have you ever been to Maine? Because the rest of the country tends to disagree. To the point where restaurants put “Fresh Maine Lobster” on menus and charge a fortune for it. I’ve truly never seen “Fresh Florida Spiny Lobster” on a menu.

I spent a summer in Bellingham in 1996 and didn't find the women as attractive as in the South. That doesn't mean there weren't pretty women though. They were a little earthy and hipster'ish for my taste. Obviously just my opinion.

I live in Florida, can confirm that Maine & Nova Scotia lobster eat better than Spiney do. Ours are just more fun to catch

I’d love to experience catching spiny lobster in Florida. Bet it’s a lot of fun

I tried catching lobster in Maine once, but the police arrested me for illegal trapping while I was trying to have breakfast with my friends.

I remember lots of blondes. I guess from the Scandinavian decent. I was 19 at the time so women were pretty high on my list of interests

People do the same things in ID/MT/WY that they do in every other state.

Government, teaching, healthcare, law enforcement, small business, real estate, sales, tech, farm & ranch, energy, mining, construction, cubicle paper pushing, etc.


Best bet for jobs would be Boise and Fort Collins if you need a mid size city. Or Salt Lake City or Denver or Portland or Seattle if you require a major metro.

Most towns in ID/MT/WY are going to be 5k to 50k and will have the same type of work you would find in those sized communities back east.

Keep thinking that, and spread the word among your friends. The less people that move to Seattle the better it is for me. I cant wait to be able to permanently leave the cesspool of the South for life in Seattle.

I’m watching the Mariners play the Angels. I’m not impressed with the talent in Seattle at the game. The women, I mean. Mariners may actually have a good team this year.

Asheville>Seattle and it’s not close. Or would you not consider Asheville the south?

According to this site, especially the PB, any town that is moderately liberal isn’t considered “southern.”

That would exclude an awful lot of places. Asheville is liberal in certain areas and conservative in other areas. The difference between liberals in Asheville and liberals in places like Seattle is the liberals in Asheville don’t have a superiority complex and holier than thou attitude towards those that don’t agree with them. There’s obviously some exceptions, but generally everyone behaves in the classic southern hospitality way.

Asheville is superior to Seattle based on food, beer, climate, outdoor activities available within relative close proximity of the city, music, festivals, COL, and general mentality of its residents.

Assuming my income was close I'd live in Asheville over Seattle a thousand times over. Seattle probably has better overall outdoor activities though.

I would disagree with at least three of those.
