Similarity

Us country girls know that the only kind of guy for us is a country boy. From the similar interests, to the way we were raised, to the looks, all of that makes country boys our target. Having similar interesterests is a key factor. I don't know how you feel about it but if a guy doesn't know how to work on a farm or get dirty it is a major turn off. I have realized I have so much more fun with guys that want to go horseback riding for a date, or out mudding, or shoot guns. Having similar interests is a big deal. It has been said that people who are similar in values, backgrounds, and life goals are more likely to have a successful marriage. In the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Marital Satisfaction it is said "Opposites may attract but they may not live together harmoniously as married couples. People who share common backgrounds and similar social networks are better suited as marriage partners than people who are very different in their backgrounds and networks." http://www.foryourmarriage.org/ten-important-research-findings-on-marriage/
There you have it! The more similar interests we have with our significant other the more successful the relationship will be.

I think back to my high school sweetheart the two of us both owned and rode horses. Our date nights were the BEST! We loaded up the horses and went for a late night horse ride up the mountains. First of all, the price tag on that date is free and being in high school or even in college you cannot afford some expensive date. But the price of the date is beside the point. We both extremely enjoyed a horse ride together. Now, I think back over the last year. I have been on quite a few dates and the worst ones were dinner dates. I guess one positive out of that was free food but I did not enjoy a dinner date. I thought it was boring to play the whole you ask a question I ask a question game. Girls, wouldn’t you much rather go shoot clay pigeons or do something fun? Some of my favorite dates are the cheesy creative outdoor ones, for example watching a movie in the bed of a truck with pillows and blankets up the canyon and roasting marshmallows. Don’t tell me that does not sound fun. Even going out mudding and getting dirty is fun. Now, think about those guys that invite you over to play video games. That sounds painful to me. I can’t even play video games I am so bad at it but the reason I say that is I have no interest in it. In this case I don’t think opposites would attract. I think it would cause a very unhealthy relationship.

Where I am trying to get at is country boys do the kinds of things we like to do, ride horses, shoot guns, have bon fires, be outside, and so much more. Country boys are just our kind of boy.
