The Redneck Date

Don't go on a date with a guy with a truck that holds a special place in his heart. Seriously. It reeks.



From henceforth H is him and M is me, and being from the rural south I could name off more than one guy like this.  They all talke the same.  I have even had a brother who went through this phase.  If you suspect a guy may be like this, please consider a group date.  At least then you have the potential for semi-intelligent conversation.  It only took once for me to learn that!

H: I have a sweet truck.

M: Really, that's nice. I have a collection of Jane Austen novels.  

H: I'm saving up to get some glass packs.... My truck is going to sound really sweet when I get those puppies installed.  

M: Hmm

H: I put my second of grey primer on my truck this weekend.

M:  Really?  I thought primer was a one time thing.

H:  I just don't have the money to put on the actual paint yet.  

M: But you have the money to have it primed twice?

H:  Pretty sweet, huh?

M:  So, what are your career plans, college plans?

H:  I can't really afford that s*** you know.  Its too hard to get that kind of money together.

M:  But you can buy glass packs and primer!

H: Totally, but those things are real important!  

M: Oh, Totally!

H:  I got a new subwoof the other day.

M:  Heehaw.  *yawn*

This can go on for hours.  Luckily in my case, none of the rednecks actually brought along their Crutchfield magazines or it would have been show and tell time.

I apologize for the choppy dialogue, but I honestly can't present this in paragraph form, because it makes my brain hurt.  I one day hope to be able to undergo hypnosis to eradicate the situation entirely.

AHH I can't believe you won. I'm soooo happy.This was perfect.

And redneck is derogatory only if you want it to be. I find rednecks laughable in my area. But there's 2 types, the stupid and the gentleman.

"redneck" is kind of a derogatory word...

Actually, it's not, especially when applied to the type of person depicted in this dating situation. In almost any rural area, much less the part of the south I was from if you walked into a bar and called each individual person a redneck, you would be hard-pressed to find one who took offense. Many of them would actually be tickled pink, and some of them would be members of my family.

Next thing you know "She thinks my Tractor's Sexy" starts playing, he gets excited, and wants to dance. 6 months later you see him on "My Redneck Wedding."

Sometimes replies are so much more fun than the submissions!

I can't believe I forgot about "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy..." Talk about wanting to crawl under a rock and never emerge. *sigh*
