Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you are single, you may be on the prowl for a special someone to share the day with. If this sounds like you, we recommend NOT courting and/or dating anyone from Colorado for these 12 important reasons:

  1. Coloradans may be a little too laid back and easy going…

  1. …(and no, that isn’t just the legal weed talking).

  1. We already know who our best friend is.

Flickr/Bob Bawell …and it isn’t you… sorry.

  1. Our idea of a good time isn’t “Netflix and Chill,” but rather being outside exploring 24/7…

Flickr/Jerry and Pat Donaho Okay, okay; maybe a little Netflix and Chill… just not on the first date! wink

  1. …as we are incapable of staying in one place for too long.

  1. We can hold our liquor at any altitude…

  1. …and can drink you under the table.

  1. Coloradans work hard…

  1. …and play harder.

  1. We eat LITERALLY every part of the cow…

Flickr/Vincent Diamante …we neither waste our time nor waste perfectly good animal you-know-whats.

  1. …and smother ALL the foods in homemade green chile.

  1. Finally, Coloradans have no shame.

Still don’t have a sweetheart? That’s okay, as Colorado Is Home To A Valentine’s Themed Haunted House… And You Are Going To Want To Visit.
