This really only works when you fit in with the local demo. If you’re not white in an all white town - it doesn’t tend to go over well! Same for if your interest are different than the mainstream for that region.

For instance - I wasn’t into guns, hunting, or pickup trucks. Social outcast immediately.

At least in cities there are more groups of people. You might not fit into one group but it isn’t the only group.

The educational opportunities are also a joke. I hear what my coworkers at big tech had growing up even in just plain suburban areas and it’s incredible compared to what I had. I feel like I grew up in a developing country compared to them.
