As a girl who has spent her 19 years of life residing in the lovely city of Cleveland, Ohio, I have plenty of experience and knowledge on this topic. Though I might be a bit biased, those who inhabit my hometown are some of the kindest and most hardworking people I've ever known. Often it seems that strangers to the city can't even fathom the idea of taking a trip to the infamous "Mistake on the Lake." However, for those of you who aren't native Clevelanders, I ask you to push your judgments aside. Are you having some trouble with your love life? Because I'm supplying you with a foolproof and 100 percent way to fix that. Here are six reasons why you should date a Clevelander!
1. We're patient.
When you come from a city where your sports teams consist of the Indians and the Browns, you learn the value of patience very early on. Year after year, Cleveland sports fans are disappointed in the season's outcome, yet we always come back for more. If you date a Clevelander, they'll be sure to be there for the long run.
2. We're hardworking.
As a mostly middle-class city, Cleveland generates many dedicated residents who truly work hard for what they earn. We take pride in our accomplishments and hate being idle. By dating a Clevelander, you'll avoid being stuck with a lazy partner.
3. We know good food.
From the thousands of restaurants and food festivals held in Cleveland each year, it's clear this city knows its way around a kitchen. From Slyman's to the West Side Market to Michael Symon himself, Cleveland is a fortress of delectable eats. If your Clevelander can't cook, they will still know the best places in town to grab a bite!
4. We believe in second chances.
Through the notorious Lebron debacle, it's seen that Cleveland is a forgiving and welcoming city. We are willing to grant anyone a second chance no matter the circumstance. If you date someone from this city, they are sure to be extremely understanding.
5. We know good beer.
With an exquisite bar scene, Brown's game-day tailgates and the celebrated Great Lakes Brewing Company, Clevelanders know their beer. You should look forward to the holidays with your significant other from Cleveland, for they are sure to bring out a case of Christmas Ale for all to enjoy!
6. We're loyal.
Though nowadays they are dubbed the Quicken Loans Arena and Progressive field, true Clevelanders continue to refer to these sports landmarks as the Gund Arena and The Jake. This shows how loyal Clevelanders are to their city's history and traditions, and how loyal they will be to you as well!
So take a chance on Cleveland, I heard it rocks.
