What Do American Girls Look for in a Man?

Hmmmm.. what's the weather like?
I'd be tempted to move to Arizona but I can't stand the heat.

I've mostly been there in the fall and winter, when it gets downright chilly. It's mountains, so you get lots of light snowfall. In the fall, the air was crisp and cool in the mornings, but warm in the afternoon. It's beautiful driving through the mountains when the leaves are turning their fall colors. I haven't been there in spring and summer yet, so am hoping it will be warm enough for me. I'd be happy if it was just warm enough that I could keep the windows open and just cool enough to avoid air conditioning in most of the summer (maybe just August, because if August is that cool, the rest of the year is too cold).

But it is a dry heat.

Anyway, I liked Flagstaff - I think that's pretty mild compared to Tucson or Phoenix. I found Phoenix too polluted, like most major cities - too much brown air.

Anyway, how about WV?

I dunno... it's tempting. I think though that I prefer Oregon type weather. Love the rain. My friend Jaime has been trying to convince me to move to Frisco because of the weather there. Hmmmm.. so many choices.

back to the topic...peanut butter and olives

back off the topic ... We camped in the Shenandoah's in May of 1991 and I had a conference once (1994?) in wherever-they-filmed-Dirty-Dancing, in October.

Lovely weather both times.

I think the big thing will be culture shock - lots of twangy hillbilly types, there's a reason a lot of us don't know many West Virginians.

And I would be shocked if there are any on this board! If there are, no offense, your mileage may vary! And I grew up in the sticks of southern Indiana - so have a fair bit of hillbilly in me myself. Crayfish? What's a crayfish? Oh! You mean a crawdad!

Definitely my suggestion. Liberal, wine country, incredible education level all around. Great area for kids to grow up - if you want them to have a sense of diversity and tolerance regarding the world.

When I want to run screaming from *red* *red* *red* Ventura county, San Fransisco tops the list of possibilities within the US.

Shush! Why do you think I'm trying to import a Californian for when I get there? But, I don't mind cleaning fish and skinning deer, so that should make me a great catch in a wife for a West Virginian, right? Fortunately, the part of the state I'm moving to is more like a suburb of Pittsburgh (though I'm not sure how much of an improvement that is).
