I grew up in a small town of 2500 and lived there till i was 26. There are some nice things about it. Never have to wait in line at banks, they all know you by name. No lines at resturants. No traffic jams, rush hour, etc. Like others have pointed out though, fucking boring. Everyone who is going somewhere has already left so the people who stayed aren't typically the brightest. If you don't have to get a job there thats great because wages are much lower than in big cities. Not to mention, at least where i came from factories are constantly shutting down and moving to mexico or china. And yes, major lack of females. They all go to college and never come back and the ones that didn't have slept with half the town already. I miss the quiet of the small town and affordability of real estate but not much else.
