Am I wrong? It seems like there are no country people on this site. Everybody can't be from major metropolitan areas. Some of you have to be rural or am I alone out here in the field?

East Texas here....howdy.

As rural as New England gets.

There's plenty of us who aren't in big cities. I truly have a horror of living in one.

I can't swig that sweet champagne, rather drink beer all night. In a honky-tonk or a four-wheel drive tail gate.I've got posters on my wall of Skynrd, Kid and Strait. Some people look down on me but I don't give a rip. I stand bare-footed in my own front yard with a baby on my hip.I ain't no high classed broad. I'm just a product of my rasin' and I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song. Hell yeah! Is that country enough?

Does living on an island count as 'country'?

Yes

@jdubose LOL so that's why, when we say we are going to the mainland, we say we are going to 'America.' Problem is there are over 175 named islands in our archipelago so that's a lot of countries.

@JackPedigo Maby call them counties.

@jdubose We are a county, San Juan Island County. Actually, this state has a couple of island counties. BTW a bit of trivia, we are the smallest county in the US but also have the longest coastline of any county.

I have always lived at the "farms & field" eastern end of Connecticut, except when I lived in a tiny rural town on the Al-Ga border (yuck!). And I have not noticed, on here, at all, what you describe?

A lot of country people here. I think that the site give a false impression, because there is a deliberate fudge built in to the locator and map features, based on the nearest town, so that people are not giving away their address on line.

I am in the country by UK sandards, but it would not be remote by US standards.

I'm in a rural area. According to my google mini the population was 14,800 in 2017. Technically we don't even call ourselves "upstate" NY because people think of Albany or Syracuse. We are the North Country.

I'm in Manhattan right now, but I have a home In Ferndale, NY .. It's more rural than city...

I live at an ocean community. Three thousand people. Far from intelligent humans.

😒 sounds like home

I have to drive thirty minutes to get to a town of any size. My property is zoned as agricultural.

Glad to know. I was beginning to think the country was underrepresented here.

College town 3 miles from beans&corn and poison factory farms

You are in East Texas, and unless it has changed, it is not the most enlightened place on the planet.

Too right.

I live in a rural area outlying a moderately sized college town.

Im Rural. I do find that there is a much higher concentration of members in urban areas, but there are more people there. Rural areas are stereotypically religious areas with traditional values. I assume that many secular people choose not to stay in those situations. I do see a lot of rural people on here though. I think secular people in rural areas probably feel more isolated in their beliefs than ones in urban areas. I don't find it to be a useful dating app because of geography but It is a nice place to interact with similar people online because I don't get much of a chance in real life these days. I do see more from Texas than other places for some reason..

It looks like I may agree about not being a dating app.

I live out in the country on a small farm. There are only small towns in the area. I enjoy the peace and quiet, privacy, clean air, and lack of crime. It’s also inexpensive.

Do you like country living?

Yes, I am 40 miles from a town big enough to have a WalMart, country life is great but hard to meet compatible friends.

Well, I'm in a small city of about 50,000 in West Virginia, so I'm close to rural areas, if not actually in one.

I was concerned that rural people :
a) were not thinkers.
b) all religious.
c) stuck in some past.

@jdubose I would say most are, but not all, by any means.

@Tomfoolery33 these false predictions only scare Atheists deeper into rural closets ESPECIALLY when urban Atheists support criminals like BILLARY and Biden and Pelosi....plurality rural voters thus undeservedly are validated for voting TrumpOLINI leaving Atheists surrounded on both sides blueREDS redBLUES....few have the courage to vote Green if they are not completely censored from knowledge about www.howiehawkins.us
