You describe the place as having no "culture," but culture is exactly what you describe. I suppose you'd prefer a place filled with yuppies with no real cultural distinction? Perhaps they dress a bit like what you'd see on television? That's it?
Where do you think culture comes from? It's not from diveristy: it's from years of isolation and forming a solid identity amongst a group of people. There are plenty of place where you can go where no one carries a common community identity and shares no values. It doesn't tend to create the most friendly or amicable place in the world, but some seem to like that.
And as a 30-something male, if you can't find something to do in the beautiful surroundings of a place like Billings, well, you're not using your vitality and youth the fullest of its extent. There's beautiful scenery all about this city. I've lived across the world--London, Atlanta, New York, small farming towns... I'm happily calling a homogenous place home. Somewhere with a real culture as opposed to a mishmash moving to nothingness.
