1. They’re A Loyal Bunch: Just Look At Memorial Stadium Come Game Day
The Nebraska Cornhusker football squad has sold out every single one of its games since 1962, and these days, Memorial Stadium seats a whopping 87,000. If a Lincoln native truly adores you, you better believe they’ll show up.
2. They’re Single And Ready To Mingle
In 2012, the Daily Beast ranked Lincoln as the third “Best Place to Find a Date” in America. It might have something to do with the city being so healthy and well-educated.
3. They’re Always Down For Something Weird
When two of your city’s biggest events are a ZombieFest and a massive Mud Run, you tend to be game for pretty much anything.
4. They’ll Show You The Best Fast Food Spot You Didn’t Know You Were Missing
Runzas are the meat, onion, and seasoning-filled doughy pastries you had no idea you were missing out on, and Runza (with a capital “R”) is the only major fast food joint in America where you’ll find them.
It might not be a first date spot, but it’s definitely fair game for a Netflix-night-in meal.
5. They’re The Happiest People In America
Seriously! Gallup said so in their 2012 Well-Being index. They’re not cloyingly sunny or anything. They just tend to look on the bright side of things and are pretty content where they’re at.
6. And The Healthiest, Too!
According to a CDC report from 2008, and the above Gallup poll, Lincoln also ranks as the healthiest city in the nation. Great genes and regular exercise? You’re just a debonair smile away from the perfect mate.
7. Chances Are, They’re Super Smarty Pants
Education comes easy when your home city doubles as one massive college town that’s home to a huge higher learning institution (University of Nebraska–Lincoln, for the record) and some 25,000 students.
In fact, Reuters has ranked Lincoln as one of the “10 Most Educated Cities in America” for that very reason.
8. They’ll Bring You To The Best Dive Bar In America
No one does drinks and gritty good times like Duffy’s Tavern, the live music venue/comedy club/beer garden/all-around good times spot Complex.com called the “Best College Bar in America.”
One night there, and you’ll quickly learn there’s nothing more romantic than sharing a fishbowl of booze with two straws.
9. They Don’t Let The Little Things (Like Crazy Long, Crazy Cold Winters) Get Them Down
So what if Lincoln is the seventh coldest city in America? Just means more time for massive snowball fights.
10. They’re Crazy Patriotic
Would you expect anything less from a city that’s home to the Nebraska Air & Army National Guard and is just a stone’s throw from Offutt Air Force Base? Lincoln’s city seal should be Hulk Hogan and an bald eagle splitting an apple pie.
11. They’re Tech Nerds In The Best Way Possible
Lincoln is one of the major hubs of the “Silicon Prairie,” meaning it’s overloaded with start-ups aiming to take over the tech landscape. So your Lincoln significant other might just be the next big thing in business.
They could also probably help you fix your phone after you drop it in the toilet too, if necessary.
12. They Keep Things Clean And Green
Lest Lincolnites ever be accused of dragging their feet, their city is home to the “Cleaner Greener” initiative, aimed at making the city the most sustainable, pretty, and livable place in America. Slobs need not apply.
13. Their Business Is A-Boomin’
Lincoln has one of the best economies in the country, with a crazy low unemployment of 3.7%—the best mark for bigger cities in the nation. That must be part of why Forbes.com named Lincoln America’s sixth “Best Place for Business and Careers.”
Hey, having a little money in the piggy bank never hurts.
14. They’re Born Entertainers
Two of the most renowned television personalities of all-time, Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett, grew up in Lincoln. Suffice to say, people from Lincoln are straight-up charmers and schmoozers. Something in the Prairie water, maybe?
15. If Things Work Out, They Know A Great Place To Enjoy Your Golden Years
In 2012, U.S. News & World Report named Lincoln one of America’s “10 Best Places to Retire.” It’s never too early to think ahead, although, you may want to wait until the third or fourth date to drop that fact.
