I'd throw out another area of the US to consider: Kentucky and Tennessee. Nice mix between Southern women and midwestern, less of the southern-belle crap. Kentucky women are still frontier women, they take no crap but they treat their men well. If you want to live in the woods away from civilization and brew beer with your manly bros, they will be perfectly happy to let you be manly while they raise the kids. But you'd better have a job.
