Pennsylvanians Hate the Strangest Thing Ever

Hate is a really strong word. I try not to use it, but once in a while, it sneaks into my vocabulary. Now, it’s apparent that Pennsylvanians hate a really strange thing.

There’s an article in the Huffington Post that spells out what each state hates, and it gets weird. The list comes from a dating app called Hater, which matches people based on what they don’t like. I would rather be matched based on common likes, but this works, too.

According to the Huffington Post, “The app prompts users to select (via swiping, of course) whether they love, hate, like, or dislike a famous person, activity or concept. A rep from Hater told HuffPost that the app offers its users over 3,000 topics to swipe on. Once a user has logged a number of likes, dislikes, loves and hates, the app uses an algorithm to find compatible matches based on the info provided.”

So, what is the No. 1 thing hated by those in Pennsylvania? According to the app, Pennsylvanians hate, “People who use money clips.” Really? That is not high on my list. Check out the full roster here.
