Go back to twitter faggot

yeah it fucking blows, there's no diversity out here I wouldn't bother coming if I were you.

It really depends on which city and rural area you compare. You could argue 3 of 4 points in pic related also apply to cities (2 being the odd one out). The narrative argument is old, just think for yourself, aka DYOR.

>>56385959

Yes.

>>56385987
You need to update this, it's down to like 73.7. dumping faster than a shitty altcoin when BTC moves down $50.

thats ok ill change tht

>>56386012
back to the oven for you

There's a couple small towns that are place in geographically desirable locations that are cozy enough to make living in not hell. I spent some time in Lewiston Idaho and thought it was really nice. But you have to be picky. A majority of small towns in the US are barren, flat, no scenery and you're guaranteed to live in some hellish suburbs where all the houses look the same. You'll eat nothing but processed foods from the supermarket chain and all the produce is bad quality and overpriced because youre in the middle of nowhere.

Cities are expensive and crazy but if you make enough money you can have everything you want. Just make more money, that's all it takes. Every city has a perfect all white neighborhood with low crime and private education. Even SF and Portland. You just have to be rich. You cant have that in a rural town, not everything at once.

>>56385959
It's pretty bad desu. I know several people who died from heroin.

>>56385959
yeah it's pretty bad unless you have a wfh job and are a shut-in autist with 0 interest in pussy. i grew up in rural northeastern PA. graduated high school in 2007 and probably 10-20% of my graduating class of ~100 has been addicted to heroin, pills, fentanyl, meth, etc. over the years. no white collar jobs unless you're a teacher, lawyer, or are in healthcare. most people work at the local factories that crush you with mandatory overtime on rotating shifts. housing is "cheap" but it's still like 3x the average household income for the area. all of the women are fat, tatted up, and divorced with 2-3 kids by their mid 20s, my fast roastie sister included, although she's gotten her life together over the past 5 years.

They vote against their interests so who gives a shit about them?

>>56385959
I mean everywhere is bad here unless you live in like a high class gated community. Also nearly everyone speaks some form of bastardized English

>>56385959
rural areas are under attack and have been for decades. It's not all sunshine and rainbows like people make it out to be.

>>56386182
Where are the parents? If you have good parents, you have a much higher probability of a good outcome.

I know you saw the kids at school who were going to be OK. The go-getters. Parents involved in PTA, maybe even working at the school. Sports.

Fucking discipline. Firm, loving hand. Know where the fuck your kids are, and what they're up to, who their friends are, etc.

Won't work every time, but mostly.

>>56385959
3 out of 4 of those points are true for cities too.

I need diversity, univocally. Living among white people feels like living amongst NPCs, like a stunted AI that doesn't have human contact to expand their dataset

>>56385959
Yes its terrible, I strongly advise against moving around here. Everyday I fought of the urge to kill myself

>>56386262
Society has collapsed in US, there are no parents.

Ah yes, the great place of rural America where everything is hollowed out because big corporations moved factory jobs to India and Mexico where they could pay people 1/10 th as much money to do the same work, where the average education level is a high school dropout, where there are zero jobs other than working at the local gas sation or being a waiter at one of the town's two possible restaurants. But hey !!! At least there are no minorities

>>56386288
what's a good alternative? move to japan? homesteading in USA after you "make it"?

>>56386262
>I know you saw the kids at school who were going to be OK. The go-getters. Parents involved in PTA, maybe even working at the school. Sports.

most of the kids who fell into drugs were white trash retards who were visibly doomed by their late teens. but to answer your question, the successful kids by and large went to college in various cities. some returned home, some didn't and instead pursued a life in the city. i went to a rural college, couldn't find a white collar job back home (obviously) so i worked in a shitty factory for a few years and then went back for a masters in the big city and made a live in the suburbs. a few of my friends from high school went to a rural college, graduated or dropped out, moved back home, couldn't find white collar work, now they work in a factory doing unskilled labor for $25/hour. a few studied healthcare degrees and work for the local hospital network. a few studied bullshit degrees and got jobs selling insurance, working as receptionists at car dealerships, etc.

>>56386083
>>56386182
Rural living isn't so bad if you're not expecting to make a lot of money and you don't have some crippling drug addiction. Seriously, just don't do drugs. The alcohol and heroin are optional not mandatory. Just don't be retarded

>>56385959
>why do people pay 5000 dollars a month to not live in these places
hmm I wonder OP

No one who has
1. Good Education and a Job
2. House
3. Functional Family
Lives either in rural or urban area in US, they live in suburbs.
Rural area is full of poor af, depressed, drug/opioid addicts.
Cities are full of criminals, homeless drug addicts, depressed serfs working multiple jobs, to payoff their gorillion $ debt, mostly living paycheck to paycheck, eating largely frozen, stale junk food.

>>56386336
One of the worst drug crisis in US is actually in SF and Seattle urban centres.

The only exception here is the extremely Rich who own both NYC penthouses and Mcmansions in some laid back small town
Life is good anywhere if you are rich enough

>>56386374
parts of new england are rural and incredibly nice (gilmore girls aesthetic) but like you said, you need to be old money WASP type or a rich NYC kike to afford it, because the local jobs sure as hell aren't paying enough to make the mortgage on an $800k home.

>>56386290

>>56386367
I'm not even sure that's true given the parabolic healthcare costs of the increasingly obese and retarded populace. Remember we nuked the global economy to keep 84 year olds with cancer """safe"""from covid for another 2 months

>>56385959
Sometimes. It’s variable. Some people have great experiences living in small towns. Some people have great experiences living in cities. It’s a crap shoot like anywhere else. You and your own socioeconomic status will determine a lot in either.

>>56386638
Lots of younger people died from Covid too. Being morbidly obese is just as much of a Covid risk factor as being old

>>56385985
I could argue all of them apply actually, especially 2 for cities when you take into account criminal, poverty, homelessness, etc.
>that has nothing to do with opportunity!!!
Actually, it does.

>>56386048
>Lewiston

Did you smell the paper mill? If you’re downwind of that thing and not from there it’s brutal.

There are a few towns that are better like Kellogg, Wallace, anything in CDA metro not CDA or Spokane. Also ID Falls and peripheries are good if you can stand Mormons.

>>56385959
Rural schools are the best ans have the highest test scores. They are full of whites behaving themselves in small classrooms.
>muh jobs
Drive a car. You're an adult
>muh fat
Yes
>muh drugs
Lol no. Ruralfags are too uptight for that.

>>56386752
That has more to do with economic mobility. There are plenty of cities with low economic mobility like Atlanta or Memphis. Not really the same thing as zero economic opportunity

>>56386778
literally none of this is true. fat suburban spic /pol/ enthusiast spotted.
>MUH HEGGIN.... BASTE RURAL TRAD TOWNS!!!!

No. "Rural" is a complicated mix of truly buttfuck nowhere to more small town/quasi suburban. There are poors, there are idiots, but they are fewer and further in between since you have to support yourself out in the country/semi-country. Almost entirely working people, and farmers themselves are actually rich.

If you live in the city you will encounter junkies, retards, niggers, on a daily basis. You can't escape them. You can escape them out in the country.

>>56386340
Rural areas have just as much crime, especially violent crime but also shit like niggers stealing your converter. The homeless are also alot more aggressive and you can run into them literally anywhere. Jew york specifically actually didn't have alot of homeless when I went there, then again I did not take the subway at all.

>>56386953

Why lie for an entire post? At least try to mince it up. Rural areas have 10% of the violent crime you dipshit. It isn't even close.

>>56386971
Found the city slick boomer nigger.

>>56386997

Found the retard who thinks I live in a city because I'm defending the country. Homeless people don't even exist in the countryside, there is literally nobody to give them handouts you stupid fucknugget.

>>56386290
>But hey !!! At least there are no minorities

having no minorities more than makes up for the rest of the shit I didn't read in your post

Stop romanticising my rural shithole fucking boomer kikes. You're the reason these places are so shit and neglected. Then dumbass city slicks like the shitposters above come in and make it even more pedantic and shallow.

Cities suck too but so does most of america, "le country life" isn't heckin special or edgy, fuck you.

>>56386311

>calls others shitposters
You have posted nothing of substance, just anecdotes and ad homs. Kindly remove yourself from this thread

>>56386340
This is true. Rural areas can be (and frequently are) just as dangerous as urban places. The exceptions are rich rural properties. But again, if you're rich, life is good anywhere.

I'll also add that rural places tend to have older populations of adults. It seems like the young people leave for the suburbs and cities after highschool and college. Not all obviously, but it's definitely noticeable, especially with whites.

Anyone who thinks rural areas are some kind of Aryan white paradise where you can just scoop up a pure virgin 18yo blonde wife are delusional.

>>56385959
>education
The point of living rurally isn't that the people are better (they are anyway) but that you can be further away from them

>>56386262
the parents you are talking about are almost always at least upper middle class and with connections so their kids will be fine no matter what. the extent of most American kids parenting and guidance is getting signed up to play sports. then when you come home your parents watch TV and eat dinner in front of TV in total silence. they think America is still the land of plenty and that you'll just "figure out" how to compete with the top 1% of the entire world while housing gets more and more expensive

>>56386262
Almost all the sports teams, extracurriculars etc at my town’s high school have been canceled because there’s no adult interest. Parents won’t contribute to carpools, coaching, bringing snacks, nothing like that. Things got pretty bad during lockdown with all the burnout kids whose parents don’t give a shit and had no structure left at all. Several armed robberies in the area, PO boxes broken into, siphoning gas, general vandalism. I know a few parents and apparently violent bullying and gang initiations at even the middle school have gotten really, really bad. I want my own kids but don’t want them getting mixed up with these ‘youths.’

>>56385959
I mean if you're poor but not homeless, so lower middle class, it's probably better than big cities. If you have the money or are literally homeless with <$10 to your name, the coastal cities are probably better.

I live in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Can't see my neighbors, 2 ez work from home IT jobs making 300k a year + bennies, just set up an addition on my house I am converting into a forging area, Amazon delivery depot a few towns over so next day delivery, and couldn't be more comfortable.

>>56386290
heres the thing. those buildings are peak soul and would never be made like that again. all it takes is a little spark and anywhere can get revitalized.

what really kills these towns is globohomo shopping districts on the outskirts, usually off some highway bypass, that soaks all the commerce. harsh reality: niggas been making money in these towns all along. ag is extremely lucrative and brings in plenty of jobs.

the problem is goyslop mentality and corrupt zoning.

>>56385959
Pretty horrible. Can't find a single minority or gay bar in ~60 miles.

yes, rural areas suck, no point of living there and you should all stay in the cities.

4chan really glorifies rural living for some reason. I'm assuming most people doing it live in cities and think the grass is greener. I've lived in rural Louisiana for most of my life and rural Indiana for a couple of years. Also spent a brief time in rural Illinois. If you have an IQ of over 100 you will struggle to make friends with anyone. People are dumb as fuck. And yes that includes the rural areas that have a high white population too. Literally the dumbest, lowest quality white people live there. You might as well be living with muttoids.

There's also nothing to do at all. No new experiences to try or memories to make. You'll just live a dull, routine existence where every day is the same as the last and years go by in what feels like months.

It is a totally pointless existence.

>>56387673
>4chan really glorifies rural living for some reason. I'm assuming most people doing it live in cities and think the grass is greener.
Yup, classic 4chan contrarianism, mostly driven by the generational shift to zoomers starting to post here. Millennial oldfags like me moved to cities for work because there was just fucking nothing left in the countryside and small towns, and there still isn't for the most part, unless you're dull enough to find factory life satisfying. People ITT have been posting about how comfy it is being able to WFH and buy shit on Amazon but those are the exact processes that hollowed out rural economies. These anons aren't wishing to be rural villagers, they're wishing to be landed gentry.

>>56387673
>If you have an IQ of over 100 you will struggle to make friends with anyone.
another good point. when i worked in the factory everyone lived and died for the NFL (nigger football league.)

>>56387839
>>56387673
It’s largely an economic problem. There used to be decent blue collar jobs in any rural area but with outsourcing and environmental regulations most of those jobs are just gone. A lot of people turned to drugs, a lot left to find city jobs. Now there’s less demand for support services (healthcare, law enforcement, road maintenance, plumbers, hospitality, etc) so those people leave too. For the most part all that’s left are retirees and the drug addicts. I don’t see a lot of young kids in my area. You can hack it if you’re in ag (will probably go under) or if you have a niche skill and can make a company building private roads or installing septic tanks or something.

>>56385959
I've lived in both, currently rural. Your pic is definitely true, there are homeless and gangs peddling drugs even out here. I guess one big difference is there is a lot more property theft, arson and home invasions out here rather than muggings/assault etc.

It's very bleak out here, if you want civilization you have to drive an hour and a half away. Our town is corrupt, all of the business owners break the law constantly, christofascist cult is doing shady shit to buy up all the liquor licenses to funnel money to the church.

The upsides are few, but there's a lot less traffic and buying a home is much more attainable, but still out of reach for most and you're pretty much forced to buy an outdated shit hole that needs foundation work.

If it weren't for my business doing well I would move back to the city. Honestly rural living is fucking depressing between the cold months and small town politics.

>>56387208

this goes for not only friends but experiences too. the most inspiring trends of this moment are machine learning and zk cryptography. neither require the physical world. what the fuck are you even doing with your life if you're not neck deep into either of these domains right now? what are your so-called "experiences" and "memories"? getting high and going to the barcade with other normgroids in order to sing marvel songs.

>>56387146
You dumb nigger you live rurally and then drive to work in the city. 99% of suburbs were farm land. You're just as far away from the city as the suburbs and because the small rural towns were built 1st you have a down town with historic brick buildings in le walkable smol city the same fucking distance from the city as the suburbs. I grew up in one and live in a different one. It's nothing but souless suburbs and corn once you leave for your commute. You also get the benefit of having better schools with smaller classrooms as your local and if you want to send you kid to the goyschool the suburbfags use with classes of 10,000 then you can be a faggot and do that too.

>>56386192
I too think that there could be nothing wrong with a single party system.
I also believe that importing foreigners who hate them is for their own good.

>>56386754
Caught a wiff once or twice but it wasn't anything that shaped my impression of the place. I really liked the neighborhood near the college and the hospital, nice little houses. There was decent enough nature within driving distance of the town as well, I had a good time there but I was really only living there for a summer.

Lewiston seemed like paradise to the tri-cities (Richland/Kennewick/Pasco). I was there much longer and it was hell on earth. Tri-cities were absolutely soulless. Just a massive strip mall

>>56387673
This.

You unironically have to be a hyper normie dirt eating retard or a geriatric retired zogbot to really enjoy living in most rural places, especially the south. Maybe it's "better" in the north wear the cold scares off mexicans and blacks, but most of the actual country is boring with nothing to do, aside from crime and going to bingo night. If you want to hide away from the world you hate, like an incel faggot, go hike in the mountains or camp in a national forest and slowly go insane like the unibomber. City slicks need victims to parasite off of while pretending like they just want "heckin peace and le quiet", like the subversive kikes they are.

>>56388705
if you're content with rotting away in your home 24/7 (like me) then there's not a big difference, except your internet will likely suck BBC and if you're really rural you won't even get 1 bar of cell service.

You make your own economic opportunities. They need doctors and nurses everywhere, even in the country. People can also work from home doing almost anything now. People do drugs everywhere.

And as a side note, there are a lot of fucking mexicans in Indiana. Way more than you think. I never noticed them until I started working in factory jobs out of high school. You never see them around town, so I wonder where the hell they came from. It’s almost like they live in the factories that they work in.

Many parts of Chicago are actually pretty nice. The biggest problem with Chicago aside from the jigaboo japes is that trying to do anything fun outside of the city requires a half day's travel dealing with traffic, airports, or delayed Amtrak trains. If you're a richfag who can afford to live in a safe neighborhood with a secure garage and don't have to schedule travel around work, Chicago's hard to beat as a home base. The cost of living is low enough that people just roll their eyes and deal with the corruption.

yes, all of the chuds here saying otherwise are living in mommy's basement in an ex-urban or suburban neighboorhood within 15 minutes of a starbucks and shake shack
i live in the dead zone between interstates (over an hour to the closest major highway) and it's a shit show. people (who are not druggies) care about muh freedom and anti-collectivism but they're constantly breathing down eachothers necks. they're actually brainwashed, have zero understanding of politics or current events besides what's on fox news. if you think trannies are a hivemind, hicks are basically a carbon copy of eachother and the whole "country" vibe is essentially just acting 1:1 exactly like a retarded middle american stereotype and being "proud" of that.
most of their "values" are cope and they only give a fuck about "hard work" or "independence" when they can use it to shit on someone else. my boss will complain about me showing up to work a single minute (one minute) late, but then literally watch tiktoks for hours on his phone in his office.

>>56389990
forest county in northwest PA is only black because there's a prison there.

>>56390584
also i literally lived in a isolated cabin in the woods for like 4 years for a job and it sucks dick.
living in rural areas or the wilderness generally blows unless you're rich. the reason why people hype it up more than living in a city is because you have to be richer to have the same amount of fun in a city, so living rural feels more attainable.

also to double down on the hick thing, being "southern" is straight up a corporate manufactured identity now. there's so much country-wank and pandering that these niggas engage in, they only stand for "traditional" values that let them be assholes, most of them are the same sort of people that sold out mom and pop's to walmart and smoked grass in highschool. just listen to radio country music, most of it is literally just a list of country-branded crap (muh truck, muh guns, muh whores, etc.) to a twangy pop melody

>you can afford a house on your walmart supervisor job

HMMMMMMM

>>56390630
Yeah you need to secure the bag and get a girl before you run off into seclusion.

I need somewhere I can fuck around shoot guns, blow stuff up, race dirtbikes, grow weed, fly my drone, etc. in peace

>>56390636
it's not even much less to live in a rural area.
i was searching for a studio apartment in the rural area i was in 2 years ago, and the lowest i could find was $1100 for a boarded up house in the middle of the hood (without utilities)
my friend who lives in a major US city has a comfy basement apartment for $1500/mo with some utilities. and he saves $300/mo because he doesn't own a car (no gas or insurance) and has a walking commute.
the same job from a rural area (as long as you aren't a skilless dweeb trying to work on minwage) pays like $10k-20k more. the same exact job.

>>56390645
LOL if you want this you can literally buy tax deed sales for a few thousand in the middle of nowhere. just buy a property an hour or so away from where you actually want to live, you will never be able to afford to live well (i.e. have thousands of acres) in the cuntry

It’s horrible. Stay in the city and save yourself. Trash, babies heads and sheep intestine condoms everywhere. Just insufferable 1880s Libya conditions. Hope your safe when it happens

>>56390671
What about a comfy lake house community and some strip of land outside there?

>>56389874
>paying money just to enter the venue to listen to shitty edm and buy diluted drugs or watered down booze
this is not helping your case anon
>t. NYC resident 30+ years

>>56390584
It's because "rural" has such a broad definition.

The USDA considers areas "rural" if they're not directly adjacent to a large metro area.

You could be in the 10k small town just outside the 100k city with all the amenities on the border of the 4.5 million person metro area and you would be classified as "rural".

You could also be in in NW Nebraska which is actually rural.

>>56390682
Look, the whole "get out of the city" shit is a meme unless you live in Detroit or some other shit hole
It's cheaper to just live in a rural area than a city, but it's much, much cheaper to live comfortably in the city than you can outside of it. Like, you can always "rough" it in a mobile home in the middle of nowhere for cheap, but a decent condo in the city will always outclass a mansion on 10 acres with a 45 minute drive to the nearest airport/theatre/clean grocery store

>>56390645
This.

People under 30 have to live in the city because that's where the social opportunities and high paying jobs are.

Once they're 30+ and found a partner they head out. Even more once they are retired (65+).

>>56390751
I find myself traveling to the countryside to buy meat in bulk, my grocery store is 2-3x more expensive and less quality.
Plus all the chain restaurants near me have terrible service and low quality food.
There are still some gems, but I find myself paying over $30 a meal.

My neighbors in the suburbs are hit or miss, but we're too close for comfort.
One went schizo and started property line argument and accused me of spying on him with my drone.

I kind of want out of this place.

If you have your own woman no
If you don't yes

>>56385959
Yeah, you’ll be surrounded by people who were too stupid to leave. If you’re not raising a family there’s no point being there.

>>56390630
>also to double down on the hick thing, being "southern" is straight up a corporate manufactured identity now
True, pop country is the most obvious pandering trash but it's eerily effective. Nobody where I live talks with any kind of drawl whatsoever but they still eat that shit up like it's candy. I guess people are free to like what they like, but the music is so obviously lowest common denominator junk and they don't even seem to register it.

>>56390720
I live in a 100k city cause I got inherited property here and it sucks cause I got FOMO, the anonymity of a big city is really appealing. I don’t wanna meet my old class mates, my teachers or my lifelong neighbors every time I go buy some OJ at the store. All the young people leave right after highschool.
I could just liquidate eveything and go but I’m too comfy here cause my expenses are almost nothing.

>>56390832
Also you just feel like a loser you’re still in your birth town even if you’re doing well for yourself. I could basically retire here at 27 and never work again but I can’t do that in big city.

>>56385959
Yes if you haven't made it yet. There's no fucking opportunity and if your IQ is >2SD above the mean it exponentially amplifies the sense of existential dread, that your life is slipping away to the sands of time as the social decay around you ever intensifies (i.e. drug use, cleetus cloning ever more inbred versions of himself, buildings going into ruin from shear neglect etc)

>>56390832
True, especially the anonymous thing, some faggot earlier brought up "rumors" in a small town. Like it's a good thing you will hear the story about the one time you got shitfaced and fucked a fat chick for the rest of your life or literally any other embarrassing shit you did as a kid. No sir, that is hell.

>>56390841
Go for it. You only have one chance at being young and stupid. Small and rural towns aren't meant for single people in their 20s.

There are positives to cities. There's always events going on. Tons of people to meet and things to see. Things are open past 10pm.

You will also experience the negatives of cities, which will make you appreciate smaller towns later in life.

I have lived in 5 metro areas the past decade. Major metro areas, suburbs, college towns, small rural cities. Each with their pros/cons.

>>56390878
The other big negative is the social cliques. Kids become friends in grade school and stay with that clique the rest of their lives.

If you move to a city with those cliques it's hard to break in, and even if you do, you will be either seen as someone who is breaking up a friendship ("you hang out with HIM and not ME now"), or an accessory to an existing friendship.

>>56385959
In a trad sense, yes. There was a study that showed the average age to lose your virginity among rural dwellers was 2 years earlier than urban areas. Rural areas are more redneck than they are traditional

>>56390751
>a decent condo in the city will always outclass a mansion on 10 acres with a 45 minute drive to the nearest airport/theatre/clean grocery store
45 minutes to the nearest city center is rural? I see the euro spelling so that makes sense for you. There are cattle ranchers in the midwest who have to drive a couple hours to get to a highway lmao. A 1:30 round trip drive isn’t a big deal for Americans.

>>56390841
>>56390901
>100k city
>fomo
100k is kind of a sweet spot for a city. 20k is also nice. Do you really want to live in Manhattan? The constant stimulation is fun, the anonymity is fun but after a while it drains you. Not to mention you’ll literally never get a good night’s sleep without liquor or weed because it’s never dark and quiet. Early-mid twenties is the ideal time to experience it, after a few years gtfo for your own sanity

>>56385959
there's less than 500 niggers in my town, its actually quite based.

>>56387673
>he doesn't have hobbies
>he just consooms
You belong in a goypod in the goyhive

>>56385967
Um, excuse me, I think you mean X. Pussy.

>>56388824
You've confused would with could, you illiterate niggerfaggot.

>>56386290
>But hey !!! At least there are no minorities
If only. Rural America is just as infested with minorities as Texas and Florida and California and New York and Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi and Michigan, etc. There may be a couple of exceptions, but it's mostly spictowns. These disingenuous cunts will never tell you that though.

>>56385959
Depends on where you are. Some towns have been basically economically abandoned because the reason they were built in the first place is no longer needed, such as mining. So those places slowly shrink population wise. Less money = more crime and drug use and then the people with money move out eventually and it eats itself

>>56385987
those "comparable" countries are all white countries. make of that what you will.

>>56385959
Depends if you want a decent job. You need family or friends to refer you to get a decent job in rural places. Unless your standards of what a decent job are dog shit then whatever

>>56388095
old brick shops are so comfy, sucks my small town only has like 5. used to have more but it all got torn down in the 50s for "progress"

>>56391335
That's why paradoxically all the most charming downtowns today are places that were decaying ratholes in the 70s that had been passed over by the wave of midcentury prosperity.

>>56387196
>Anyone who thinks rural areas are some kind of Aryan white paradise where you can just scoop up a pure virgin 18yo blonde wife are delusional
>18yo
>Virgin
I grew up in a town of around 4k population. Soon as girls hit 13 they were fucking wherever they could. On the back of the bus giving blowjobs to 3 to 4 other guys, bathroom breaks in the middle of class to go fuck their boy of the week, and any other opportune moment you could think of. There was nothing else around my town to do so everyone just smoked weed and fucked. Even a loser like me ended up fucking 17 different girls. I probably could take some of my NEETbux and find some 18yo roastie with an Arby's special to dip my extra beef into. But most certainly never a virgin unless she's really fat and smelly but even those girls at least have been a human blowfish behind the dumpster at the local Dollar General.

>>56391359
I grew up in a small town and landed a catholic virgin bombshell in highschool. The couple times I came close to proposing I realized there was some 80 iq drug addict in her phone that she insisted on communicating with. 5 or so years later and she's been ran through by a handful of guys that look just like me. Reality hits like a train, I was fortunate enough to see things early in life. Alot of dudes are in their 30s still looking for their good girl.

>>56391275
wow so when are you writing your book on all the small towns you've visited and lived in?

>>56388716
Can someone explain what's happening in pic related

>>56391402
see >>56389990

>>56391395
No amount of money is going to find someone that special "good girl" you speak of. Unless you decide to pay off some father who's extremely strict enough to ensure his little girl doesn't have sex and you get to marry her soon as she turns 18 in an arranged marriage kind of deal.

>>56391409
what happens specifically here? Looks comfy from the outside.
Is this where the nice forests and pines and shit are that you export to us in your moving pictures?
Country USA always looked really romantic.

>>56391426
Yeah. It's not about money. It's about small towns and sex culture kek

>>56391428
I mean you've circled a lot of different things in that picture. You have the Midwest corn belt, dry high desert in Wyoming, Rocky Mountains, and most of the Great Plains.

>>56391442
What's happening in wyoming then? Looks like it has a bit of everything

>>56391436
I can only imagine the girls now days compared to when I was 18 years old. Their body counts back in the 2000s was averaging around 20-30 by the time they were out of high school. The number now days are probably closer to 60-80. These girls in small towns are probably fucking over half the guys in their school. Getting split roasted next to an open fire.

>>56391456
I used to think I would be so disgusted with myself if I ever caught an obvious STD. Now I know that if I have a hookup in the future it's pretty much a given

>>56391456
Even the small town catholic virgin I had dated, I don't know if she could be considered a virgin because she had definitely given a few blow jobs before I met her. We met at 16

>>56391469
I had chlamydia twice before I was 18 and caught herpes the very last time I had sex which was 11 years ago now. Now that I'm revirginized I'm doomed to never dip my sausage link into any wet slurpy fun. I do have some NEETbux saved up under my mattress. I may just have to find a whore to pay if I can manage to actually walk down the street. There's tons of men and women backpacking through my rural little area. I might wait until I'm older just on the off chance I get AIDS. Is there if any way that we could profit from fucking rural junkie whores?

rurality is awesome. Only whores and their dumb coomers hate it

>>56391476
I'm sure she fucked. Church whores were pretty common here at and I can only imagine now days. I knew of one who fucked the church van driver and even started playing with my cock my first time showing up because a friend of mine told me I'd find a girl no problem. She had some issues for sure. I think she did something sexual with literally every single guy who ever showed up there. She also sucked my brother's dick. Tried to date both of us at the same time for a DP.

>>56391488
Kek I used to go to church youth groups with my Christian bud because what else are kids supposed to do in a small before hitting party age. The girls were the most promiscuous I've ever met

>>56391505
Sad thing is probably could have an orgy in an empty room in the church without anyone else realizing. I wish I wouldn't have been weird about my cock being out in front of other dudes. I wouldn't have minded a swinger's party cumming all over multiple girls in one sex session under god.

This. Just move to le rural community is cope asf

So what happens if a darkie or foreigner goes/try to live in a rural town?
How would be him/she be threated due to be a stranger?
i can only imagine it like when the local sherriff disliked rambo and wanted him out of the town

>>56391884
Yes, that's exactly what happens. As soon as somebody darker than an Italian steps into town the local Klan chapter assembles near the Hanging Tree in the town square. All nonwhites and foreigners take note and stay in the big cities.

>>56391768
>>56391699
Ive lived and worked in small towns in america for oil and gas. oklahoma, dakotas, and minnesota. its not nice and its quite ugly looking. its not comfy brick houses that you can go for a walk through like in england. its strip malls, rude people, and wasteland. theres often 1 street that looks nice but then outside of that its pretty ugly. no one puts effort into their houses or property and everything looks depressing and ugly because of that.

>>56392633
Not all small towns are equal

>>56391768
This is every small town I have seen.
>t.midwestfag
Maybe the southern shitholes states have shithole towns. Would make sense.

>>56386182
Can confirm, rural living is awesome
t. wfh shut-in that hates w*men

>>56385959
I know what rural US needs. More BIG BLACK COCK unironically

>>56390878
also the "START YOUR OWN BUSINESS DUDE LMAO" crowd are in for a rude awakening if they're moving rural. outsiders with money are prime targets for abuse and shakedowns by hillbilly political/business dynasties. and the locals probably won't trust you.

>>56391323
The main force driving the recent drop in life expectancies was white people ODing on fent in the sticks

>>56391456
Not now. Recent survey had like 40% of us graduating senior women as virgins. Like 20% had never been on a date. Obviously changes after that and probably skews fat, but young kids are suicidal and not fucking like there’s a new grunge album out every week

>>56385959
Yes I bought a house here recently (Tennessee) and I've been broken into 6 times and someone shot at my house once. Selling this piece of shit at the end of the year and going back to civilization

A southern small town is simply the intersection of two state roads with a gas station.

America has rural areas and small towns close to big cities. LA is bordered by a mountain range with desert on the other side. Las Vegas and Phoenix are surrounded by desert. Denver has the Rockies to the west and prairie to the east. Boston is surrounded by cute little New England towns.
