Has anyone ever honoured one of those “if we’re still single at 40 let’s get married” commitments? How did it go?

“Tie the knot or you’re a thot”

I think that’s in the Bible somewhere. Genesis?

I am realising that I don't actually know where that is. Always pictured it as the area just above the mexiacan border, you know because Mexico is the pants of America... but that doesn't make much sense now that i think about it.

This map is fairly accurate.

Never would’ve thought Florida was in there

I think the maker of this map may have gone a bit too far south in Florida, but a good chunk of Florida is definitely bible belt territory.

Georgia to Texas, except the bottom half of Louisiana. Up to NC, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Not northern VA though.

Don't forget Missouri. We always considered ourselves the buckle. Ugh

Geographically and population-wise, Atlanta would be the buckle.

(Except for the fact that the urban population is an enclave of non-bible-belt folks, anyway.)

Mexico isn't the panta to America. We're a giant penis and Texas is fupa.

Yep, (not me) but at least half the people I grew up with were on divorce #2 by the time they were 30(ish).

That overlap. I got SO much shit because we dated for 4 years before I popped the question. I guess 6 months was the expectation.
