16. Well not around this town, I won't.

Apr 2013

I wouldn't want to date anyone who lives here. Right-wing rednecks, the lot of them. I do think my location has something to do with the lack of action. I'm well-educated and many of the individuals whose profiles I read (that were local or within 50 miles) could barely spell.

And yes, I am a snob when it comes to that sort of thing. If I just want to have a good time, that would be one thing.

In any case, I've made up my mind to move soon to a place I like better. No more than one more year here, so there's no point in dating anyone anyway. I don't want to get stuck here.
