1. They’re From Texas, So They Have That Whole Southern Charm Thing Going On
Dallas may be massive and urban, but good Southern manners still apply. That means “please,” “thanks,” and all those other words that get significant others on your parents’ good side.
2. Do You Like Tex-Mex And Barbecue? Because Dallasites Know A (Million) Place(s)
You’re human, of course you do. Dallas is one of the best spots in America for burritos, baby back ribs, and everything in between.
3. Oh, And They’ll Buy You The Best Margarita You’ve Ever Had Too
The frozen margarita machine was invented in Dallas in 1971, but locals have been perfecting Dallas’ unofficial alcoholic drink of choice for way longer. In Big D, they make them so good they’re well worth the brainfreeze (and the hangover).
4. Dallasites Are Pretty Much Rolling In Dough
According to Forbes.com, Dallas is the number two “Billionaire City” in America, just trailing the Big Apple. The non-billionaires are doing pretty well too, since Forbes also ranked Dallas the “Best City for Good Jobs” in America.
5. And Good Looking. Very, Very Good Looking
In 2013 Travel + Leisure ranked the best looking places in America (because apparently there’s a way to do that) and Dallas cracked the top 25. We’re guessing this isn’t just a case of some outlying Cowboys Cheerleaders pulling up the average.
6. They’re Open To Getting Artsy
The Dallas Museum of Art. The Dallas Art Fair. The Nasher Sculpture Center. Heck, Dallas has a whole district dedicated to all things artsy.
7. Dallasites Are Straight Shooters
Not in the Second Amendment kind of way—in the “they tell it like it is” kind of way. But yeah, they can probably handle a firearm too, if absolutely necessary.
8. They Have The Whole “Hopeless Devotion” Thing Down
Only one Cowboys playoff win since 1997, and they still consider themselves favorites going into every season. That’s what you call love, kids.
9. Dallasites Are Pretty Much The Happiest People On God’s Green Earth
Testing the age-old adage that money and happiness can’t be bedfellows, a 2013 study by Harris Polling found that Dallas was the single happiest big city in the country.
According to the results, it helps to have Jesus on your side too—strong religious beliefs were cited as a major factor in Dallas’ upbeat attitude.
10. Dallasites Have The Perfect First Date Spot In Their Back Pocket...
The incredible State Fair of Texas! You’re never too old or cool for the fried food wonderland that is the fair. And you might even go home with an oversized stuffed animal, if you’re lucky.
11. ...And A Fancy Third Or Fourth Date Too
The AT&T Performing Arts Center is one of the most amazing places in the country to get your opera, experimental theater, symphony, and ballet-watching on, all in one place.
12. Dallasites Can Stand The Heat
Dallas folks are used to things getting a little steamy—the city hits 100° F almost twenty days a year, after all.
13. They’ll Introduce You To New Animal Buddies (Be Prepared To Squeal)
The Dallas Zoo features over 100 acres of habitats and has been awarded for keeping animals happy. And because anyone and everyone who grew up in Dallas went on a field trip there, there’s a good shot they have some insider tips on befriending a giraffe. (Hint: fruits, veggies, and other zoo-approved snackums help.)
14. If They Can Fall In Love With A Seven Foot Tall German Guy, They Can Totally Fall For You
Although, it will help if you bring them an NBA title or two.
15. Oh, And Despite All Their Amazing Qualities, You’ll Never Hear Them Bragging
In Texas, there’s something called modesty. Braggarts and other self-impressed types not welcome.
