When I was stationed in northern NY, I found it to be a varitable dating bonanza. I dated women of a variety of social classes when I was there and never once did anyone ask how much I make or anything of the sort. Maybe just some bad luck with the type of people you are dating?
CS is pretty much the only site I've been a part of. I have memberships on others, but to be honest, I've abandoned those accounts long ago simply because the atmosphere in which they provide wasn't for me.
As far as CS is concerned, I've met some people whom I can securely call friend, others I've met I've called friend..but really..a friend they were not, others that I don't get along with and even more extreme, those that bring a sense of dread when I see them post in a thread that I'm actually interested in..simply because it's either eventual we are going to clash or just because they aren't the way they portray themselves to be.
Just like real life in that there is a real mix of people, personalities, etc. It usually depends on which mood I am as to which threads I will reply too.
I believe places such as Puerto Rico, and the others you listed, have to vote to want to become a state, and then we have to vote to let them in as a state....but there really is no incentive for them to be a state, they recieve all the benefits of a state, without taxation I believe.....They do however have representitives in our Congress (again, I think).

unincorporated unorganized territoryPalmyra Atoll is privately owned by the Nature Conservancy and administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is an archipelago of about 50 small islands with about 1.56 sq mi (4 km2) of land area, lying about 1,000 miles (1,609 km) south of Oahu, Hawaii. The atoll was acquired by the United States through the annexation of the Republic of Hawaii in 1898. When the Territory of Hawaii was incorporated on April 30, 1900, Palmyra Atoll was incorporated as part of that territory. However, when State of Hawaii was admitted to the Union in 1959, the Act of Congress explicitly separated Palmyra Atoll from the newly federated state. Palmyra remained an incorporated territory, but received no new organized government. Palmyra was formerly (before 1950) a seaplane base used by Pan American Airlines and the U.S. Navy. It had a Pan American hotel that was used for overnight stops by travelers. It was along an air travel route that linked Hawaii with American Samoa, Australia, and other destinations in the south Pacific as non-stop flights were not possible.
There are in addition also "territories" that have the status of being incorporated but that are not organized:
U.S. coastal waters out to 12 nautical miles offshore. U.S. flagged vessels at sea, naval, coast guard, or civilian. Unincorporated organized territories Guam (since 1898): also the home of a U.S. Naval Base and a U.S. Air Force Base. Northern Mariana Islands: formerly a United Nations Trust Territory under the administration of the United States, it established itself as a U.S. Commonwealth in 1978. Puerto Rico (since 1898): established as a U.S. Commonwealth in 1952. United States Virgin Islands (since 1927): these were purchased by the U.S. from Denmark. Unincorporated unorganized territories Islands in the Pacific Ocean American Samoa (since 1898): locally self-governing under a constitution last revised in 1967. Wake Island: no longer under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy, now only inhabited by civilian contractors. It is now primarily a wildlife refuge. Midway Islands: no longer under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy, now only inhabited by caretakers. It is now primarily a wildlife refuge. Johnston Atoll: now uninhabited. Was last used by the Department of Defense in about 2005. Baker Island: now uninhabited for many decades. Howland Island: now uninhabited for many decades. Jarvis Island: uninhabited Kingman Reef: uninhabited Islands in the Caribbean Sea Bajo Nuevo Bank: uninhabited; also claimed by Colombia, by Nicaragua, and by Jamaica. Serranilla Bank: currently the site of a Colombian naval garrison; also claimed by Nicaragua, and by Honduras. Navassa Island: uninhabited; claimed by Haiti.
