    I know this is too open-ended to be very meaningful, but would the girls here prefer to marry (or that their daughter marry) a city slicker or a a country boy.

    Generally speaking, of course. Explanations optional.

    Country boy.

    (And I did, in fact– my husband grew up in a town of about 5,500 people).

    A modest city slicker or a somewhat educated country boy is fine with me. Unless it cannot be?

    Actually? Normal and well-balanced is good enough. And kind. Oh and honest. Neat and clean would be great. And funny, a real bonus. Just in case you wanted to know.

    A city slicker with the heart of a country boy. A little sophistication is a GOOD thing, but it needs to be tempered with some down to earthiness. Why does one have to be one OR the other?

    City slicker.

    So that he can parallel park for me.

    (Considering that I can JUST BARELY drive in a straight line, I prefer to leave all that fancy stuff to someone else.)

    I’m a guy but I’m wondering what y’all think “country means? Do Yinz think smaller Jewish community in Midwest counts as country?

    In the early 20th century there were a number of Orthodox Jewish farming communities in Connecticut (Colchester area), NY (Catskills) and New Jersey.
    My BIL of 45 years comes form one of those Colchester, CT Orthodox chicken farming families. went away for high school and yeshiva and just retired from his career as a pulpit rabbi. His eldest sister’s grandchildren are still running the egg farm
