[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think yes. I'm from Charlotte. I moved to NYC post law school and was shocked that almost no one watched college football. The manliest guys would at least go to a Yankees or Mets game and a Rangers game once a yr -- but by no means was that all guys. And because they had money, they "looked down" on people who would do anything on their own - including building their own Ikea furniture - because they were thinking -- I don't have to, I'll pay them to do it for me, that guy must be building his own because he doesn't have an extra $100 to pay the service.

Returned to Charlotte within 5 years and met plenty of bankers and lawyers who were obsessed with UNC basketball, were always doing projects in their homes (that they could certainly afford to outsource), and if they weren't doing those things -- they were at least hitting up the gym, biking, running etc.[/quote]

I'm from Charlotte, too, but still here in DC. My XH and now SO are "manly men" who don't watch sports, but play them. And they can and will fix stuff. They also read books and follow current events and politics. I love it. Best of all worlds.[/quote]
