W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

This study ranks the happiness of the 50 states. Do you believe it?

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

Most of the bottom 10 make sense to me. It is ironic that all three states in the local Tri-state area near me are in the bottom 7 and I am not all that suprised. :tu

IDk about this....I was pretty happy when I visited Ohio in Aug last year ;)

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

Me too. Ohio rocks :tu

Live in the state year round and you may change your mind. Not too many people in the Cincinnati area are very happy to live here right now. :rolleyes:

Don't listen to Adam, Bao. Adam lives in KY. Adam hates everything about Ohio (see his 578 posts on how Ohio has the worst drivers in the snow)

I think it would be cool to live in Montana.

Gallup surveys are VERY accurate, so yes, I believe that those are the correct results that they got. The question is, how large was the population studied, how large were the areas that they studied, and so forth. I used to live in WV and plan on moving back soon, and I was unhappy there, or so I thought, until I moved away. And everyone that I knew in WV is happy there.

This was what affected the results... depends on your definition of happiness I suppose.

I'm grew up in West Virginia... most folks are pretty happy-go-lucky and family oriented. The don't eat very healthy food... they tend to be overweight... and they enjoy smoking. If these three things count as "unhappy" in the poll - there is your answer. :rolleyes:

Not true. I like Skyline Chili, Jeff Ruby's Steak House and Montgomery Inn. But they do have the worst drivers in the snow considering it is a winter weather state. :tu

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

You do agree that Skyline is better than Gold Star, right? :tu

Florida is lower than I thought, prolly cause of all the yankees living here.:r

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

Recent financial troubles probably aren't helping. ;)

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

No it's definately the yankees.:tu:r

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

Hey, we're (WA) #15. No wonder I've been feelin so f*#king happy lately!:r

Re: W.VA, are you really this unhappy?
 

I call "bullsh*t". ;)

Are you kidding me? Michigan took 33rd over Ohio, Florida, and Rhode Island. No way in hell. As a resident for over 23 years I can confidently describe Michigan's top four traits as: Unemployment, deer related automobile accidents, car thefts, and unemployment. :hn Just what about that produces a happy attitude?
