If you’ve ever lived in Iowa, you’ve almost certainly had the pleasure of dating an Iowa boy. He is most likely a well-rounded, mannered gentleman – but as with anything – there are many different types of Iowa boys. From the hunter to the wrestler, here are the 11 types of guys every Iowan has dated:
- The Iowa fan
Alan Light/FLickr This guy bleeds black and gold. He will Fight! Fight! Fight! for Iowa - and for your heart.
- The Iowa State fan
GoIowaState.com/FLickr Loyal sons forever true, they will fight that battle through. And when they hit the line they’ll hit it hard, every yard for I-S-U! And of course, they’ll do the same for you.
- The farmer
katie weilbacher/FLickr You know for a fact that this guy is hardworking, and if he puts the same effort into a relationship - the farmer can be one of the best types of people to date.
- The outdoorsman
Dale C/FLickr Whether it’s hunting moral mushrooms or taking you fishing, the outdoorsman always has something fun planned for date night.
- The hunter
Kansas Tourism/Flickr This guy is a provider, who is very in tune with his instincts. He’s not too complicated, and that’s a good thing.
- The wrestler
U.S. Army/Flickr If Iowa had a state sport, it would probably be wrestling. Iowa has a lot of great wrestlers, so it would be no surprise if you’ve dated at least one wrestler. These guys are a little more aggressive, and maybe a bit showy, but good guys all around.
- The handyman
khatchatriand/Flickr This is the guy who refuses to call the electrician because he thinks he can do it himself - oh wait, isn’t that just every guy?
- The grill-master
WordShore/Flickr This guy takes pleasure in his grilling skills, serving up a delicious Iowa chop, or one of the most perfect steaks you’ve ever had.
- The political junkie
San Francisco Bicycle Coalition/FLickr In a state as immersed in politics as Iowa is, you’re bound to meet (and even date) a political junkie or two. Most of the dinner discussion will be (no surprise here) a little boring if you’re not into politics.
- The biker
Will Murphy/Flickr Iowa has some of the highest rates of motorcycle ownership in the country, so you’ve almost certainly dated a biker guy. Underneath all the leather, there is just another nice Iowa boy.
- And the biker
Dave Herholz/FLickr The other type of biker, this guy’s idea of fun is riding his bike over 400 miles across the state with thousands of other people. If you can keep up - this kind of guy is sure to be a blast.
If you ask me, an Iowa boy is the best kind. Did we miss any more types? Let us know!
