1. They Prove That Good Manners Are Alive And Well
“Please” and “thank you?” Please, and thank you.
2. If They Like You, They’ll Take You Home To Mom. And Mom Can Cook.
Deep. Fried. Buttered. Everything.
3. They’re Good With Their Hands.
For building and fixing stuff! Let’s keep it above ground, guys.
4. Alcohol: They Can Hold It
A South Carolinian will drink you under the table and then hold your hair back later, if necessary.
5. Who Doesn’t Like A Classy Southern Accent?
Because it’s better to be a “beau” than a boyfriend any day.
6. They Smile Like They Mean It. Because They Mean It.
S.C. frequently ranks as one of the happiest states in the country. Warm weather? Incredible food? Friendly people? No frowning.
7. If You’re From Somewhere Else, They’ll Find You Utterly Fascinating
You’ve been to California?! Tell me more...
8. They’re Always On The Beach
Tans, beach bodies, the whole nine yards. Plus, who doesn’t like the beach?
9. They Just Might Be Hilarious
Stephen Colbert, Chris Rock, and Aziz Ansari? All born or raised in S.C.

They pair well with cowboy boots, sandals, bicycles, and pretty much everything else.
11. Or A Guy In A Seersucker Suit
Those suckers breathe.
12. They’re Mama’s Boys And Daddy’s Girls In The Best Way Possible
Not in a weird way or anything. They just know who raised them right.
13. They Can Rough It If Necessary
Say power across the globe goes off, humanity descends into chaos and people are forced to fend entirely for themselves. You’ll be happy you’re with a South Carolinian. It’s nice to be worst-case-scenario prepared.
14. They’re Just A Little More Easygoing
When hanging with a South Carolinian, leave your neuroses and cynicism at the door, please.
15. If They Like It, They’ll Put A Ring On It
Yep, marriage is alive and well in S.C.
Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh. And so on, and so forth.
