West Virginians are a special kind of people. They are quite possibly some of the best people you’ll ever come across. Here are 10 reasons why.

According to Business Insider, West Virginia spent the least amount of money per capita on the website Ashley Madison, which is a site for married people who are looking to cheat on their spouses.

A lot of us were raised in church on the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The result is that we have very strong morals here in West Virginia.

Have you ever passed a West Virginian who didn't smile or wave at you as you walk down the street? I doubt it.

This is definitely not all of the reasons why West Virginians are the best. What are your reasons why West Virginias are great? Let me know in the comments.
