11 Reasons Why Everyone Should Marry A Pennsylvanian

Looking for love? Well, you've come to the right state! Pennsylvanians are pretty amazing with plenty to offer their potential partner. Here are just 11 reasons why everyone should marry a Pennsylvanian. The list could go on and on, of course, but let's start with a sampling of what makes Pennsylvanians so awesome.

1. We're loyal…

Question our loyalty? Never! Just look at the sports fans from every corner of the state – who stand by the Eagles or the Steelers, the Pirates or the Phillies, the Flyers or the Penguins, no matter whether they have a winning or a losing record.

2. Smart…

How could Pennsylvanians not be smart when our beautiful state is home to so many prestigious universities? They include The University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University, Temple University, Villanova University, and Duquesne University, to name just a few.

3. Adventurous…

You've got to have at least some adventure genes to survive in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvanians love adventure – whether it's quirky like lawn mower racing, mysterious like visiting local haunted cemeteries and homes, challenging like hiking, or demure like enjoying a summer day in a kayak on one of Pennsylvania's gorgeous lakes.

4. Innovative…

We're innovative – and you will be, too – because innovation is just in our genes. After all, Pennsylvania is home to the first Ferris Wheel, the first revolving door, Heinz ketchup, bifocals, and Crayola Crayons. (And...the list goes on!)

5. And hard working.

You'll never have to worry about a Pennsylvanian giving up on you without a fight. Pennsylvanians are hard working no matter where in the state they live or what they do.

6. Pennsylvanians love history…

Well, even if your Pennsylvania love isn't a history buff, you'll still have plenty of opportunity to sight see in this historic state that boasts the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the Gettysburg Battlefield, the Carnegie Museums, and Fallingwater.

7. Sports…

And, if you marry one of us, you will probably become a big sports fan pretty quickly. Just no cheering for the Steelers if you live in Philly and no cheering for the Eagles if you live in Pittsburgh. Remember, we're loyal to our home teams.

8. And good food.

C'mon! You've fallen for someone who lives in a state with notoriously good food – pierogies, Philly cheese steaks, shoofly pie, Utz chips and pretzels, Heinz ketchup and mustard, scrapple, and dippy eggs (to name just a few Pennsylvania favorites).

9. We love our families…

And, when you're with your Pennsylvania love, you quickly become part of his or her family too.

10. Friends...

Friends are part of the family.

11. And Pets.

And so are our pets a part of our families. Plenty of Pennsylvanians are animal lovers and you'll find a lot to do throughout the state – from animal rescues that need volunteers to sanctuaries like Wolf Sanctuary, and zoos such as the Philadelphia Zoo and the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium.
