Notes on Chicago

The Casual Encounters community of Chicago is strong. It has much in common with the New York community: frequent posts, mostly normal and a good number strange. A few observations:

1. Not as many BBWs, or at the very least, not as many people identifying themselves as BBWs in their ads. I expected more since people are heavier in the midwest, but my theory is that since corpulence is more common in Chicago than New York, larger women are able to procure sex without the internet more effectively than their heavy sisters in New York.
2. A weird background check procedure. This isn't super frequent, but several posters have posted ads asking if they have heard of a particular person and determining their reputation. This sounds odd to me since the person you're checking up on can also see your request for information and possibly send you fake beneficial information. (As I was looking for more examples of this, I noticed that all of them have been taken down.)
   
3. Far, far fewer posts WRITUN AZ IF AUTHR WUZ 6 YRS OLD. WURD.
4. About 1/3 fewer total posts than NY's Craigslist, but still a lot, especially considering the fact that the New York metropolitan area is about twice the size of Chicago's. Chicago people however, can drive to new neighborhoods for sex far easier than a New York person can take a long subway ride to another neighborhood. This makes casual encounters far more useful in Chicago than New York.
