Synth doesn't

lol

Since the city I grew up in has a population of over one million, I'd say you're right

Yup, although I only moved here when I was 12, I consider myself a Las Vegan, and that means a City of 1million+

 

[Deeko]

No. I grew up in a suburb of a moderate sized city, and I currently live in a large city.

 

[skim milk]

No but I don't consider myself a true city person either

I moved a lot and lived in many places.. but I enjoy simple things such as fishing, crawfish catching, skipping rocks, crabbing, etc. I also love soul food and southern cooking.

City people are stupid, they are ALWAYS trying to show off.... about stupid sht too like some fancy places they ate, the expensive clothes they bought, or some big shot executive they talked to. They try to make people jealous of them.. get the F over yourself... the world is going to end soon we're all going to die


I like country folks a lot. They are more genuine, humble, and more of a fvcking human with real emotions.

I have lived in rural virginia all my life. I don't live in town, but out in the county. The closest town has about 350 people and most of them are retired. It sucks in a way because there isn't any jobs here. The closest real city is Richmond, though Petersvurg and Colonial heights are closer, but they are small compared to Richmond.

do i consider my self a country boy...

I grew up in a rual town in nebraska, 1200ppl, worked on the family farm growing up. when i was small i would sit on my dads lap in the tractor when we was plowing up the fields and steer it. every summer we would raise about 200 hills of water melon and sell them for 10 cents a pound. i could go in my back yard and shoot pheasants because my back yard was 60 acres of field. my little sisters had about 5-10 cats depending on how many would run off that week. it took me 6hrs to mow the lawn on a riding mower with a 36" deck. i could hop on my 4wheeler ago down the road to fish in a pond. in HS a good time was going down to the river bottom with abunch of my friends to a party so the cops had no way to get there let alone know where we where. there are more cows at the feed lot than there are ppl living in town. my grandpa has more than 5 5gallon buckets full of golf balls because we own land right be the golf course and alot of ppl slice thier ball off the par5 right there. going to the river meant you were going tubing starting 10-15 miles up stream and drinking as much beer as physicly possible as we could while under the hot nebraska sun. ppl would show up late to school during deer season. driving 4wheelers down the river with my dad in the winter time after the river had frozen over was some of my best times spent with him. my friends and i would go out chasing storms out on country roads because we knew thats the best time to take out the 4x4 trucks and go mud'n. i've said the phrase "hold my beer and watch this sh!t" more than once, i say things like, aint got, yall, git to gittn'. and when i ask where something is, i end it with "at". i've known my wife about my whole life, started dating my junior year in HS, 5 years later we got married and have been married for almost 3years now. my 9m old daughter's name is Ronnie-Jo Riliegh. i chew copenhagen and listen to country. my wallet sticks out of my back pocket about an inch er so and wranglers are very comfortable jeans. my graduating class was the biggest to ever go through me HS at 32 ppl.

250 peoples? That's not a hometown, it's a home village.
I might consider myself a country boy also, even if I haven't really worked hard in the last some 10 years (half a day something a month of outside work doesn't count)

 

[jkersenbr]

1. Only lived 11 months of my life inside the city limits of any town. (and hated every minute of it.)
2. That town has a population of 5000.
3. Own a home 10 miles from that town.
4. Loves having the "next door neighbor" at least half a mile away.
5. Own/operate a farm.
6. Grew up on said farm.
7. Own 300 acres of farmland (rent 1500 more).
8. Own farm equipment worth 3 times as much as my house. (And the house ain't bad.)
9. Loves laughing at the city slicker relatives of farmers that come back to "help" during harvest and just get in the way. (They really come to look at us animals in the zoo.)
10. Thinks a lot of so-called country music isn't.

<---- REAL country boy.

I lived between a larger city and a small town. The house I grew up in is next to three dairy farms and I worked on one bailing hay on occasion. My dad also kept horses at my uncle's house 10 minutes down the road on another dairy farm.

That and yeah, I know - I DO live in Iowa.

 

[edro]

I grew up a mile from a 2000 person town. I graduated with 74 people, bailed hail and straw in the summers, took sheep and pigs to the fair a few years, and hunted.

I think that qualifies me... although I now work 8-5 in the largest city in Ohio and only get back to the coutry for recreation.

 

[hypn0tik]

No.

 

[meltdown75]

i grew up on a farm. there's no question i'm a country boy. i used to collect eggs from the chicken coop in the morning and sell them to the mailman for a buck a dozen. i had a pet rooster named Red that was too mean to ever really be considered a pet - more of a guard dog. mini-bikes and dirt bikes, BB and pellet guns, playing in ditches catching frogs, tadpoles and crayfish. yep. my dad never wanted my brother or myself to get into farming. all that is left is a 120-acre cash crop farm and an empty lot where the house burned down in the late 80s. lots of memories.

It's TROT line dumbass. You must not know what one is, so I'm skeptical.

 

[SWScorch]

yep. I live on an old farm, have a 2 acre pond behind the house where I go fishing almost every day, I listen to country music and see more cows than people on my commute to work. The "town," which is 5 miles away, doesn't even have a stoplight, just a stop sign, a gas station and a small general store. But I don't work on a far or bale hay, so I'm not that much of a country bumpkin (although I almost worked baling hay for a summer).

Yeah, 'cause us country boys are well-known for our masterful spelling, grammar, and keyboarding skills. :thumbsup:

[Toasthead]

Ive lived in CA my whole life...not many 'country boys' here

 

[Heisenberg]

I grew up in a small midwest town of 25k that's surrounded by farmland, but I never worked on a farm or anything like that. So sort of half-and-half I guess.

 

[GeekDrew]

I live in the country, and grew up in the country. I lived in the suburbs for two years, before I moved back. I actually am dying to get back to the suburbs, tho.

My biological family owns three farms (around 375 acres, IIRC), and we operate them. We have beef cattle on two of them, and various crops on all of them. We used to rent several other farms, but that was before my parents became complete fools and decided that they knew everything.

I'm definitely a country boy... but I belong in the suburbs now.

 

[Zenmervolt]

Most definitely. And moreso than many who grew up around me in the same small town because of my personality. There's a very thinly disguised hatred between myself and cities. If I could find work in Montana, you can bet that I'd be out there.
