Redneck singles service opens
BY JENNIFER FREEMAN
THE MIX EDITOR
The world’s First online dating
service specifically for “rednecks”
has been launched, just in time for
Valentine’s Day and perfect for
those good ol’ Southern boys.
After all, what is Valentine’s Day
without some red?
RedNeckandSingle.com offers
a twist on the usual online dating
services by providing options for
hobbies from “Raisin’ Critters” to
“Raisin’ Hell.” The options help
create an atmosphere which the
Web site says is “like an online
honky-tonk, but without the
drinkin’, cussin’ and fightin’.”
Religion Choices have been
broadened to include “Baptist,”
“Southern Baptist,” “Independent
Baptist,” “Missionary Baptist,”
“Primitive Baptist,” “Fundamental
Baptist,” “First Baptist,”
“Methodist,” “Christian” or
“Other.” Hobbies can be picked
from a list including, “Huntin’ and
Shootin’ Critters,” to “Four
Wheelin’” and “CowTippin.’”
Redneck is the way to go these
days, with Gretchen Wilson’s
song, “Redneck Woman” climb
ing the chans and the “Blue Collar
Comedy Tour” one of the most
popular specials on Comedy
Central.
Love can be found for free with
the Basic Redneck package, which
allows the user to complete a pro
file and upload photos. The
Premium Redneck package comes
with e-mail, a Redneck and Single
Chat Room and even Instant
Redneck Messenger — all for
$14.95 monthly.
McIntosh, a Southern boy
himself, said in a press release that
he created this site to “give red
necks an online environment to
hunt for romance without having
to weed through profiles of peo
ple who turn their noses up at in
terests like NASCAR, country mu
sic and hunting.”
The term “redneck” goes all the
way back to 17th-century
Scotland, but its roots in the
United States can be traced to
white sharecroppers in the early
South. McIntosh claims these deep
roots can be tied to everything in a
person’s life, from the grits they
eat in the morning to the truck
they get into with their NASCAR
shirt on and when they drive down
the din road with their mullet flut
tering in the wind.
“So when two people with this
deeply ingrained, unique set of val
ues meet, you increase the odds of
having what most singles are seek
ing— chemistry,” McIntosh said
in a press release. “It’s just that for
me, and for thousands more with
that redneck heritage, the chem
istry we seek is more of a home
grown variety.
“I’ve had people jokingly ques
tion if the redneck breeding
ground is one that should be fer
