Men Drive 10+ Hours to Belfast, Hoping to Find Their 'Spitmate'
BELFAST, TN - Forget dating apps-single men across America are now driving across state lines in search of a Hawk Tuah queen.
The average drive time for hopeful suitors?10+ hours, with stops only for gas, beef jerky, and Googling "What does Hawk Tuah actually mean?"
"Belfast used to be a ghost town," said longtime resident Cletus Dale Jr. "Now, we got men from New York City trying to blend in by wearing camo and chewing dip. It's adorable."
Local women, however, aren't impressed.
"These city boys think they can just waltz in and handle us? Please," said spit champion Tiffany Rae McGraw. "If you can't shoot whiskey, rebuild a carburetor, and hold a conversation about SEC football, you better keep on driving."
Some men quickly realize they're in over their heads.
"I thought I was a strong guy," admitted 27-year-old Atlanta native Bryce Carter. "Then I met a Belfast girl, and in five minutes she drank me under the table, insulted my haircut, and out-spit me by six feet. I wasn't ready."
Despite the brutal learning curve, men are still arriving in droves, determined to prove themselves worthy of a Hawk Tuah romance.
"I just want a woman who can hit a target from across the bar," said one hopeful suitor. "Is that too much to ask?"
