Why are "Hooters" so big in the Red States?

[Jack_Dawson]

Are these the same "values" voters who think us Hollywood Elites are corrupting their families?

:shrug:

[mmonk]

1. Southern bred

born in Florida.

[On the Road]

18. It's Good That "Hooter's" is in Quotes with an Apostrophe

Otherwise, it might have meant something else entirely and started a flame war. :smoke:

[mmonk]

39. On that line of thought

has anyone checked out to see if that could be true (hooters so big in red states)?B-)

[Radical Activist]

43. If you like

girls with blond hair, blue eyes and big hooters the south is the place to be. They might be Republican though.

[dean_dem]

2. Ummm, because they like Cold Chicken Wings and $4 warm beer?

You got me.

[CornField]

3. They only go there for the wings

dammit.

;)

[okieinpain]

4. yep. my daughter works there. funny stuff let me tell you.

[Jack_Dawson]

9. Tell me!

[okieinpain]

31. I will not. :~) hell it took years, just to be able to tell anyone my

precious baby worked at hooters.

[UpsideDownFlag]

5. Chicken and Beer! YUMMM! nt

[CO Liberal]

6. They Gotta Have SOMEPLACE To Go After "Promise Keeper" Rallies

:-)

[Anakin Skywalker]

16. Hah Hah! That's rich!

Good response, CO Lib. :)

20. They've Got a Big "Hooters" In Colorado Springs

In one of the major shopping malls. And Colorado Springs is home to dozens of religious non-profits, including James Dobson's "Focus on our Homophobia".

[enki23]

7. conservative "values" have *always* included...

old men trying to fuck highschool girls.

[Placebo]

8. Because good American males like vag/na wrapped in ugly shorts...

and breasts bursting forth from restrictively evil, two sizes too small, white t-shirts.

[Up2Late]

14. And your point is....

You say that like it's a BAD Thing.:crazy:

[Jack_Dawson]

23. LOL n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. Corn-fed women with access to inexpensive silicone?

:shrug:

[Skittles]

35. they don't really need silicone

a very constrictive push-up bra does the trick

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. Conservative white men oggling boobs and drinking beer.

Why is there any confusion?

[underpants]

12. I believe they have an express flight from NJ to Myrtle Beach

SO don't make that assumption too lightly.


They started in Florida I believe.

[Tweed]

13. They look to be equally distributed among Democrats and Republicans

The best example is Missouri where all the Hooters are located in the only Democratic areas in the state, St. Louis and Kansas City. There are a ton in Illinois, especially the Chicagoland area. Michigan is plagued by them. There are as many Hooters in California as there are in Texas. There are alot in Florida and Georgia, but Hooters started in Florida, so that's no big surprise. I think your analysis is quite flawed. Find some other way to pick on the red states and isolate our Democrats that live there. :hi:

[Hieronymus]

19. It's hardly a mystery that the Hooters are in metropolitan areas.....

which, surpise, are the Democratic areas.
The point is, why do all the red states love Hooters and alcohol and divorce?:think:

[WCGreen]

57. Two of em closed down in Cleveland.....

[No Mandate Here.]

15. Surgery? Those commercials you see on TV during the day?

[On the Road]

17. There's One in Shanghai

Mainland China is a "red" state.

[NewJeffCT]

49. LOL

But, China is becoming more liberal on social values, having been corrupted by 10-15 years of Hollywood influence. Can you say that America is becoming more liberal on social values?

[BOSSHOG]

21. There is a Hooters in the French Quarter on Decatur Street

in New Orleans. It apparently is very successful considering it is near about 500 restaurants within walking distance. Great place to go at halftime of a Saints game.

[Piperay]

22. Hypocrites nt

x(

[bluestateguy]

24. They started in Florida

But there are three here in Blue Austin. There is also one in San Fransicso and one in Boston. I don't see Hooters as a Red state or Ble state thing: the feminists dislike them, as does the religious right.

[Jack_Dawson]

25. True, but they ARE all over the Bible Belt

you have to admit...

[kclown]

60. BG restaurant review Boston Hooters

Nice fried seafood.  Otherwise, "go to Revere Beach. 
There's more skin and the food is better."

[mitchum]

26. Hooter's are just titty bars for cowards...

I have far more respect for someone who patronises the sleaziest strip club than someone who buys their thrills and swill at that ridiculous chain

[Jack_Dawson]

27. "Titty bars for cowards" - please expand on that

Interesting concept...not sure I disagree.

[mitchum]

28. Letches who are afraid to go to a real strip club...

Hooter's allows them to still ogle and not "feel quite so bad about it"

[RagingInMiami]

29. A titty bar you can bring your kids to

[Courtesy Flush]

30. THAT'S why red states love 'em

[Up2Late]

32. You are SOOOOOOOOOOOO Wrong!

I like Hooters, A LOT!

Just because I'm in a "Red State," doesn't mean we are all red. I live near Atlanta. Georgia is the original "All Diebold" counted, Total vote fraud state. (HELP US PLEASE!)

Hooters is Good Tastings, Bad For Ya, Low Priced Food. Ever eaten 1 1/2 pounds of Alaskan King Crab Legs? MMMMMMMMMM Most have a good selection of Beer to MMMMMMMMMM New Castle:beer:

And what guy wouldn't rather sit at a BAR tended by a Hot, Friendly Young Babe in Tight Shorts and Tight T-shirt who's nice to ya, even though she's WAY out of your league? :loveya:Instead of going down to Moe's Bar and pounding Beer with married "buddies?":cry:

Hooters is ideal for lonely guys, like me. :dunce:

My Mom used to think like you, then I took her there. She really liked it. We had my Aunt with us too, She's a Catholic Nun. She didn't say much. :shrug:

[Jack_Dawson]

33. LOL!

Very "illustrative" post - thx for the enlightenment!

JD

[Skittles]

38. way out of your league?

gals who degrade themselves for money aren't usually out of anyone's league

[Up2Late]

42. You obviously have never been to a Hooters

and I'm guessing you've never been a guy before, either. :tinfoilhat: If you had, you would know the Trolls and Bubbas that go there a lot.

I don't know if you've ever been a Waitress, but for a little cleavage, they make a HELL OF A LOT more than a Bennigan's or Applebee's waitress for doing the exact same thing, and it is the same thing, unless you're a prude or up-tight around sexy women. :eyes:

If anyone is being exploited, it the the guys who's wallets are being exploited for (the guy) having a normal sex drive. Their aren't any strippers or sex going on at Hooters.:+

[Skittles]

52. I go to Hooters a couple times a month to pick up food for work

give me a break about leering assholes being exploited. The way I see it, both sides are using each other and it's sleazy. And I have always managed to make money without having my tits in some guy's face, thank you. In fact, here I am when I was Hooter-aged - just 19 years old. Degrading myself for tips was not my style.

[Up2Late]

55. Hot Picture

:loveya:How long ago was that? The picture looks faded, or is that some sort of photo effect? I'm a professional Photographer.

What's the story behind "Skittles?" B-)

[Skittles]

62. lol.....hmmm,,,,,,,if I recall....

1976, not sure of camera type, 35mm film enlarged to 10 x 14, hung on a wall for almost 30 years and then scanned into a PC. Ha, that picture is as battered as I feel these days. :)

Skittles is my 26 solid black bundle of feline love (yes, named after the candy). He was an injured stray my ex-boyfriend Tombo and I nursed back to health. Skittles lives the farm life out at a 25 acre farm with Tombo in Whitesboro, Texas. Tombo got custody of Skittles after we broke up because he had become a farm cat and was happy there.

Yes, I named Skittles after the candy - when I met Tombo when I was a contractor at AT&T, he used to have a Dilbert candy machine on his desk I would occasionally fill up with Skittles. I thought it sounded like a good cat name and it is. :)

[patcox2]

64. Yup, like "Stuff" and "Maxim" are tittie mags for cowards.

Be real, embrace the real thing. They are embodiments of hypocracy. I have more respect for Hustler and strip clubs (not "gentlemans clubs).

[Skittles]

34. hear my recent Hooters story

I went to Hooters during a work shift to pick up a buttload of wings for dinner - on the way out, a leery-eyed old f*** by the door said BYE BABE and I replied very loudly F*** OFF, ASSHOLE. The Hooters gals all started screaming and high-fiving each other. :D

[Jack_Dawson]

40. He was saying "Bye Babe"...to you?

I'm confused.

:shrug:

[Skittles]

53. why the confusion?

yeah he was talking to me - and I don't look so bad. :D

[catbert836]

36. Why do you think?

It's "Cafeteria Christianity" at its finest.

[Endangered Specie]

37. Lets just say... Southern girls are hotter.

[Jack_Dawson]

41. Southern Girls ARE Hot...

but DAMN they wear a lot of makeup...

:beer:

[Up2Late]

65. Blow them away in the name of the Lord in German is

Re: your motto line, "Blow them away in the name of the Lord" in German is:

Brennen Sie sie weg im Namen des Lords durch.

At least that's what the Altavista Babel Fish says

In "Red Neck" it's:

Blow them away in th' name of th' Lo'd :evilgrin:

[Kellanved]

70. uhm...no

More like "Löscht sie aus, im Namen des Herrn".

[Up2Late]

71. The Babel Fish says your wrong

It says what you wrote in German "Löscht sie aus, im Namen des Herrn" is:

"It extinguishes, in the name of the gentleman"

I'm just telling you what the Fish said, I haven't a clue re: German :shrug:

<http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/tr>

[Kellanved]

72. All Hail to the Babelfish.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

68. I guess you haven't been to NYC, LA

some of he most beautiful people in the world are there-chicks and guys.

[aaronbees]

44. I remember...

the only Hooters I'v been to was in Seattle -- a most depressing place. Hooters is lame because it's not honest; it wants to be a strip bar .... with all that comes with it ... but settles for "family style" titillation. The evening I went there was a b-day party for a kid that looked about 10 at best, Hooters ladies singing "Happy Birthday" in their skimpies. Surrealism at its finest, or something.

[cleofus1]

45. My wife...

Wanted to go eat at Hooters a couple of weeks ago. She had never been in one and wanted to know what all the fuss was about. I had been in that particular one once before a couple of years back.
So the food was OK...The women were very, very sexy, but nice..The service was excellant. They kept my diet soda filled and my wife's too.
I didn't notice that their "hooters" were any bigger than the ones I'd seen in California...

[Jack_Dawson]

48. There are cute girls in Alaska?

I'm only half-kidding. But seriously, I heard the ratio there is 10-1 dudes to chix. True?

[cleofus1]

59. not true anymore...

I believe those are old stats...
Remember this is the 21st century...at least in Anchorage!
And please keep in mind, "it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye".

[WCGreen]

58. We went to Hooter's, Mrs. WC Green and I

once about 15 years ago,,,

Mrs. WC had had a few too many beers, why are beer drunks more obnoxious than wine drunks?

anyway, this particular Hooter's was located in a renovated supper club Mrs. WC Green had worked at some time ago. We were on our way out and ran into the manager. We talked for a minute and Mrs. WC Green blurted out, I don't see what the big deal is, my tits are bigger than almost every girl in here...

I was so pround of her.......

[Cadence]

46. Sigh. I don't know. I just don't know.

n/t

[RevCheesehead]

47. Because they wear bras that are too small?

Wonder Bra for Wonder Women?
Because the Presidential Cod Piece inspired copycats of the faithful?

[NewJeffCT]

50. I'm guessing a lot of Playboy centerfolds

I bet a majority of your Playmates of the Month are from places like Texas & other Southern states...

[Up2Late]

51. A lot of them come from CANADA

CANADA B-)

Pam Anderson, for example

[ohiosmith]

54. Genetics, diet, environment, implants? Maybe a combination.

[WCGreen]

56. That' like asking why is NASCAR so popular in Red States....

[Jose Diablo]

61. I thinks it's because their mothers didn't

breast feed them. Or maybe the Republicans are sexually inhibited. Thus, they have an inner need to reassure their ego's that they are men and prove this to other men also by frequenting establishments were they can heehaw the well endowed ladies. The food is so so, so what else could it be?

Edit: On an added note on this topic, it could be pointed out that on a scale of between 1-10 on actually becoming very 'friendly' with anyone serving at establishments like Hooter's, I would place the scale roughly aound 1 maybe 2. Therefore, it is unlikely any male would actually have to produce the goods, if accepted and this would probably provide some measure of comforts and confidence as they oogle the ladies. I mean what would happen if a lady accepted then it was found out the man declined. Th man would never live that humiliation down.

[THUNDER HANDS]

63. I was 13 years old when my grandfather took me to my first Hooters

I was so embarassed. I wanted to look, but like, you're right there with your grandpa so you don't want to. Then when you do look he spends the next 15 minutes making fun of you for looking.

Oh, did I mention he also brought along my parents?

I didn't set foot in another hooters until I was like 20.

[Megahurtz]

66. What a dirty old man!

:silly:

[Doctor_J]

67. we have big hooters in Illinois

:shrug:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

69. It's sexual repression-an outgrowth of their wacky fundie "values"

The South also has the most porn parlors and strip clubs. There's you're family values right there.

I don't care if people go to strip clubs, Hooters, whatever, but the proliferation of these establishments has grown in response to the rise of evangelical Chrisianity. Sin six days a week and repent on Sunday.
