Cacille Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 For a while now, I have noticed that a lot of people are from only a few main cities on the America/Canada side of the world. I'm starting to get really suspicious and wonder if there is some sort of connection here. The cities I've noticed with a large population of people are above: If you live, or grew up, near or in one of these places, post where! Link to post Share on other sites
birdnerd Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I've lived within a couple hours of Chicago for most of my life. Link to post Share on other sites

Brodertun Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Does Edmonton have a large population? - we're pulling people from Calgary for our meetup Link to post Share on other sites
oneofthesun Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Ontario isn't a city, it's a province. Link to post Share on other sites
Brodertun Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Ontario isn't a city, it's a province. :lol: a pretty big one at that Link to post Share on other sites
Cacille Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I meant these more of a "general area" , but I should have put Toronto. I just see a lot of "Ontario" and "Toronto" so I put the larger one. Edmonton I don't know the name of it's province, nor other towns near it. So i just put edmonton.

LostPenguin Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Heheheh, I made so it's 16% across the board! Well, I'm from the SF area. Not SF itself, but about half an hour away, I'd guess. Without traffic. Bloody traffic. Link to post Share on other sites
Hallucigenia Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm within... uh... 3 hours of Toronto. Been to a Toronto meetup once. It was nice. But I'm not asexual, so I didn't vote. Link to post Share on other sites
Derp Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm... not near any city, period. :lol: St. Louis would be the closest, though... probably about three hours from here. Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieee Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm about an hour to an hour and a half (depending on the traffic) from NYC, but I've never been to a meetup :cry: Link to post Share on other sites
smellincoffee Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm nowhere any of those cities. Montgomery is fairly small for a city, although in my opinion the only thing it lacks is a minigolf place. The one we had closed down. Yes, I'm serious. I adore mingolf. :P Link to post Share on other sites
ghosts Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Nope, I don't live in any of those... I don't live in a city at all actually- I'm in a small town of little over 1,000 people. Link to post Share on other sites
PollyB Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Er, are only Americans and Canadians supposed to post on this? I mean, I'm not being an uppity Brit or anything - well, maybe slightly, actually - just saying London is quite a big city, kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
ChildOfTheLight Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm about an hour to an hour and a half (depending on the traffic) from NYC, but I've never been to a meetup :cry: Traffic? Ever hear of NJ Transit and the subway? Only suckers and tourists drive in New York. And New Yorkers who are leaving the city. Link to post Share on other sites
mackat5 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was born in a smaller city(Moline,IL), and have lived in the smaller cities or towns all my life. Only time that was not true was the 2 years that I was in Detroit, MI. But I was an adult by then. So I didn't vote. Link to post Share on other sites
Cacille Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hallu- Vote for your sis who isn't on the boards as much lately. And you are close to toronto, so vote. Same for you Cipher. I said "In or Around" a city. 3 hours is minor travel distance to me, so it counts, haha. (I got back a few weeks ago from a 2200mile, 32hr+ trip...so 3 hours is nothing) Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieee Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'm about an hour to an hour and a half (depending on the traffic) from NYC, but I've never been to a meetup :cry: Traffic?

Ever heard of my mom, who insists on driving each time and would never allow me to take the NJ Transit by myself? Link to post Share on other sites
Parth Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm starting to wish I lived near those guys, that's for sure! Link to post Share on other sites
M51 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Cacille, you should add a "Not from one of these" as a choice. If you click view results without voting, it sometimes casts a random vote for you, which would skew your results. Or at least I think this happened during the elections, when people were keeping track of exactly how many votes were being cast and there were anomalies (the Republicans did it!! :lol: ) I'm not from one of them, but I would like to see the results.

PollyB Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Actually, can we also have a "not from the US or Canada", please? Since we're in a different situation to Americans and Canadians who aren't from one of those cities, but we are part of AVEN - trying not to get twitchy about US bias, really I am...

Tanasha Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The closest I am to any of those cities is Chicago, and that's 6 hours by car. I really don't know what to put. :? Link to post Share on other sites
Dixie Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm not near any of these cities (SF is the closest at 6 hours). LA was not on the list(that's where I grew up), but now that I'm in the Bay Area I marked SF. Link to post Share on other sites
Octarine Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I live about forty five minutes from both San Francisco and Berkeley. It's fun. :lol: And my parents are letting me and my cousins go there to see the Edward Scissorhands Ballet by ourselves. (Well, they'll probably take us there, but we'll be alone in the theater!) :P Link to post Share on other sites
Bahamut240 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I used to live in St. Louis, and there were a decent amount of asexuals there but Chicago? I only know of one other asexual in Chicago (and I dont actually know them, just that they exist.) Link to post Share on other sites

Hpets Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 There are asexual cities? Damn, apparently I really missed out over here in Vancouver. Link to post Share on other sites
KAGU143 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I was born in St Louis, more or less (Webster Groves), but I never really lived there. I'm closest to Seattle/Olympia/Portland now. And hey! We had 10 people at our meetup earlier this year! That's one of the largest AVEN meetups ever, if not THE largest! Representing the Pacific Northwest!! -GB Link to post Share on other sites
spinneret Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 *high fives GB* We've definitely got a lot of folks around the Pacific Northwest. Funny thing is, that Google Analytics thing DJ set up shows 11 hits from Beaverton, 22 from Seattle, and 10 from Cloverdale, but none from Portland, Salem, Vancouver or Olympia :? I wonder how it works. Link to post Share on other sites
