Dating App Says Texans Hate Sleeping With Windows Open

HOUSTON, TX — In the height of summer in Texas, there's nothing like sleeping with the windows shut tight and the air conditioning cranked low. Heck, turn on all the ceiling fans as well. But come winter, those windows stay open longer. There's a dating app that matches men and women, or whatever, based on things they hate. In Texas, the most common hate is sleeping with the windows open.

That makes sense in days like these when the mercury is popping 100 degrees or higher, and the heat index is even hotter. And that's in the shade! However, the app says we collectively hate sleeping with the windows open. The app didn't list other hates, but one common theme probably would've been Oklahoma, California migrants and bad tacos, if there's such a thing.

Speaking of Oklahoma and the dust bowl, the biggest hate of the Sooner State is "hearing the latest gossip," meaning they're probably not reading this. Next door in Louisiana, the biggest hate is "being the designated driver." For anyone who's survived Mardi Gras in New Orleans, a game at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on a Saturday night, or just anytime in Lafayette or along the I-10 corridor, then this might be the most on-point hate in all 50 states.

In New Mexico they hate "polo shirts" and in Arizona it's "sand." Regionally the map looks weird, but so do other common hates around the country. For example, in South Dakota they hate "The New York Times," but in New York they hate "Times Square." So it must be more than a million non-New Yorkers out there on New Year's Eve.

In Georgia they hate "tuna salad" while in Alabama they hate "vegetarianism." I concur with both, but I'm not looking for a date there, either. Don't ask for directions in Idaho or go to the gym in Montana, because those are the biggest hates, respectively. Ohioans hate "tying a tie" and Illinois lovers hate "biting string cheese." In Iowa they hate "guys with long hair" and in Minnesota they hate "drinking alone." Don't worry Minnesota, you have the Super Bowl this year so you'll have plenty of fellow drinkers.

In Mississippi they hate backside prison sex, in Missouri it's "people who believe in aliens" and Kansas folks hate "Seinfeld." So much for something about nothing.

Each state is unique in its hatred. Who comes up with such apps and questions for wannabe lovers who hate the same stuff rather than enjoy the same things? But the map is fun to look at, even if you don't agree with it.
