I know this is too open-ended to be very meaningful, but would the girls here prefer to marry (or that their daughter marry) a city slicker or a a country boy.
Generally speaking, of course. Explanations optional.

(And I did, in fact– my husband grew up in a town of about 5,500 people).
August 26, 2013 10:48 am at 10:48 am #972147eclipseMemberA modest city slicker or a somewhat educated country boy is fine with me. Unless it cannot be?
August 26, 2013 10:50 am at 10:50 am #972148eclipseMemberActually? Normal and well-balanced is good enough. And kind. Oh and honest. Neat and clean would be great. And funny, a real bonus. Just in case you wanted to know.

So that he can parallel park for me.
(Considering that I can JUST BARELY drive in a straight line, I prefer to leave all that fancy stuff to someone else.)
