It's like anywhere else, some are nice, some aren't. Which college are you going to?

If I had to generalize Texas men are somewhat less literate and educated than the national average. Although approximately 85% of the rest of the country disliked Bush, he's ok here and came back here to live.
Many think its sport to shoot defenseless animals and put some of the their body parts on their walls.
Texas has a higher rate of smokers than the rest of the country.
Otherwise many Texans are just like normal people.
Beware of those who have nothing to brag about except being a "Native Born Texan" something they had little to do with as it shows they have little real accomplishments to be proud of.

The info about Texas are simply facts- Google Rand Study on Education. I didn't say all Texans are poorly educated or stupid, on the other hand this person who doesn't need to be handed a line that Texas guys are any more special than those from other states. She's paying money to come here and might as well know the truth. We are pretty much like everyone else - and in a couple of areas somewhat below the rest of the country.
I live on the ocean and at least try to make things better-serving on the school board and helping kids improve their scores. We have one of the better school districts, however many of our children can not communicate effectively.
I agree with most - they are just like the rest of the country - good and bad. The only difference I have seen is that with those who are native Texans or live here most of their lives - the pride in their state that is not evident in men from other states. I've been here a little over 3 years.
As for ocean- I've seen his comments on other threads. OCEAN -why do you constantly keep trying to put others down...to make you feel better about yourself? It appears to me that you are not a happy person. Maybe you need to see a counselor. If you're not happy with who you are how do you expect anyone else to like you? Quit being so negative and stop the constant superior attitude - you are not superior, but you consider yourself that way - or at least that is how I perceive you.
Thanks! These are quite interesting things to know. I just keep learning something new here every day, really. What i hear is that people in Texas are very fiendly

You make my point for me and frankly you're too dumb to see it- even the dumb email you wrote to me personally.
You lack even the basic skills of a 3rd grader. You are not able to write one decent sentence in ENGLISH. Being a Native American is not an excuse, the State of Texas is nice enough to provide free education.
The criminals I've prosecuted and even illegal immigrants know our language. What does "teader" mean?
Let's see if even you can learn something. In 3rd grade you were taught the difference between you're and your. The tax money we spent paying those teachers at least in your case was wasted.
YOU'RE illiterate because you and YOUR parents (relatives not REALITIVES) never cared enough to learn English. Try to discern the difference.
No one is perfect -we all make mistakes when we write- but you lack the education of a house pet.

Listen Michael you live in a metro with over 1 million single women- if you're serious about meeting someone step away from your computer.
SERIOUS ANSWER:
If you want a serious answer probably half of Texas men are from other states- with a large segment coming from the midwest industrial states as well as the neighbors to the East and North.
There used to be great differences between people from different regions however television and greater mobility has made for little difference in the regions with the exception of politics. About 15% of Texans are Hispanic and the fewer generations they are removed from Mexico the more they act "Mexican" Mexico is more old fashioned and somewhat macho, so the culture allows more of a double standard and jealousy. About 10% of Texas Males are Black and a bit over 1% Asian. There are some cultural differences but basically people are people.
Stereotyping and huge generalizations are for weak minds. Texans are not that different from those in other states especially southern ones.
The best advice for the lady visiting is when she gets here FORGET about the computer and go and see Texas and Texans. In the smaller towns Texans are definitely a friendly people and if she sees something she likes she should say "HI". Computer screens look the same all over the world.
----- OK serious enough
Now can I get back to the guy who didn't know the difference between Looser and loser? He writes one word and can't even get that one correct. That's entertainment.
You seem to take great satisfaction in keeping others down and pointing out every spelling mistake. Some of those are "TYPO'S" not just spelling errors. We're all human and make mistakes!!!
You're also very quick to point out how stupid others are for being on here instead of out in the real world to meet people....so why dont' you do the same. Get off of here and let the rest of us have some fun in the forums. Which...speaking of...do you know how to have fun??? judging from your posts you're nothing more than a ball buster that has to be right on every topic, anyone that doesnt' agree with you is wrong and you always have to have the last word.
Loosen up!!!! Look past the spelling and what people actually have to say. They have wonderfull stories and great advice at times. That's what sites like these are about.
We're not here attending English Class. We're here because we're looking for some nice chats with others. Even if you are smarter than someone else on here ....so what....you're constant brow beating is a complete and total turn off.
And what I find the most appalling....you posted before that you work in the school system. I pray you're only teaching proper grammar and not teaching kids how to live like you. I can only hope for those future generations that you set a much different and better example in person than you do here.
