6 Reasons Why You Should Not Move To Texas, According To A Local Born & Raised Here

Texas' weather is so unpredictable

Other than the constant blistering heat of our summers, Texas' weather is infamously fickle.

Seriously, though. I recently woke up to a crisp 45-degree December morning and by the evening it was 80 degrees with a horrendous fog brought on by the 92% humidity rate.

Throughout later months like November and December, Texans find themselves with the sniffles and naggy head colds that they accredit to the regular drastic temperature changes.

Several of our main cities are full of cheaters

No, I'm not talking about the Houston Astros and their cheating drama. I'm talking about relationship infidelity, and it's apparently rampant in three different Texas cities

Both Houston and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex have the highest rates of unfaithful people in the entire United States this year, according to writer Amy Pritchett from My Dating Adviser. The North Texas city even has an Uber driver who got famous for exposing any extramarital affairs happening in her car.

So, if you're looking to remain in a monogamous relationship, you might want to avoid living in Texas.

Everything is so spread out

Unless you like driving and beings stuck inside a car for most of your day, don't move here.

You literally have to drive everywhere, as Texas is known for having cities you can't easily walk around.

I find that New Yorkers always point out how commuting in the Lone Star State is different from what they're used to in NYC.

While Northerners regularly walk to their destinations in the massive city, Texans must have a laborious car ride to get from place to place.

Not to mention the sheer size of the roads has had European visitors shocked, too.

Texans are always finding giant insects

For whatever reason, when they say everything's bigger here, that even goes for creepy crawlies, and I truly hate that for us.

I was personally affected by the population of massive insects here over the summer when a gnarly-looking cicada killer wasp continuously ambushed my backyard.

Actor James Van der Beek recently moved to ATX and had his own experience with an infamous native insect, the fire ant.

You'll hear never ending jokes from Californians

Out of the entire country, Californians have been moving here in droves, and becoming new Texans hasn't stopped them from pointing out the differences between the West Coast and their new home in the South.

A few examples I've personally heard are: how summers actually feel like "hell," the way we say "y'all" sounds silly, and we, Texans, are much too obsessed with our gas stations.

The muggy humidity will have you staying inside. A lot.

Each region of the Lone Star State experiences a different climate. However, as someone who has lived on the steamy Gulf Coast for my whole life, I can vouch for the icky humidity that constantly coats the air.

Very seldom does it feel truly dry here. Even winter days usually see a high rate of air moisture. I woke up on December 7 to a sheet of stuffy fog hovering in the sky.

So, if you ever wish to sit outside in a cool crisp environment or have a non-frizzy hair day, this is me telling you to avoid Southeast Texas.
