Should I just go ahead and get the h*ll out of Colorado at this point?

Unfortunately, I have learned that women here in Colorado don't like me because I am from the southern United States (right outside of Cherokee, NC in my case). It is my nature to be a very socialable person, but these people here in Colorado don't like outsiders whatsoever. Seriously, now I have experienced just a SMALL taste of what it was like for the folks on the trail of tears who got moved to Oklahoma by that jerk Andrew Jackson. What I mean by that is I am now living in a physical place (Colorado) whose culture is 180 degrees different than what I am used to. I can't imagine having to be removed from the beautiful western NC mountains to Oklahoma. Anyway, my MAIN point in this is the fact that despite my friendly nature, I am convinced that my southern dialect turns women off from me here. In fact, I have been asked if I am from Texas innumerable times since I moved here in 2005 for a job after leaving the military. I have also learned that Coloradoans hate Texans with a pion since moving here. If it weren't so expensive, I would go ahead and move, but its gonna cost me $3K and I'm just a poor college student right now. Also, its not like I can just go out and get a $15/hr job as I have tried and have learned that military service doesn't mean anything with respect to finding a job that pays a living wage. I have been considering trying to get accepted to the University of Texas at Austin as I believe that I would fit in better down there since Texans are friendly and outgoing like they are back home. Don't you think that I would probably find a g/f if I were to move back home to the South?
