Same-sex marriage has officially been legalized nationwide, everyone! That means that all those southern states we always assumed would hold out on marriage equality until Hell froze over are now ready and raring to go (or ready and doing everything they can not to accept that this has happened). But despite some lingering negativity we're sure will soon be overcome, there are plenty of reasons why ya'll should definitely consider dating a southern girl. Here are just a few!
15. It gets painfully hot in the summer, so we all have to wear as little clothing as possible.
14. The south can be hella scenic. Don't underestimate the power of a beautiful hike.
13. Cowgirls. You can date a cowgirl. You can be a cowgirl. Cowgirls everywhere.
12. Many of us have really great accents that make us sound like we're being really sweet even if we're saying totally nasty things.
11. We can open you up to the world of sweet tea, which is not just iced tea with sugar packets in it. For shame.
10. Cities shut down if more than three flakes of snow fall from the sky, which means lots of surprise alone time!
9. If we're in danger and there's a horse nearby, all southern girls inherently know how to ride it to safety.
8. We know how to barbeque. Or at least find the best BBQ places. Get ready for brisket.
7. Most of us were raised to have manners on fleek.
6. We are at all times probably ready to play guitar around a campfire. We also know exactly how burnt your marshmallow should be for s'more purposes.
5. Dances held in barns are actually a real thing. They happen. We will take you to one and we will two-step, dammit.
4. If you have to break up with a southern girl, go out for a chicken biscuit before you cut things off. It's worth it. They're so damn good.
3. Southern Living did an article entitled, "The Best Legal Moonshine," so clearly we know how to party.
2. There's a reason so many country songs are about southern ladies breaking peoples' hearts. We're that in demand.
1. Our wedding can be entirely catered with foods you never dreamed could be fried. At the end of the day, everything can be fried.
