1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers

That's a pretty significant difference. You should have used just one measurement.

Isolation = not living near a city of 1million+?

Forgive me for not writing any heart-wrending poetry about my terminal solitude.

But you are terminally alone.

I'm glad you haven't produced any crappy poetry about it though.

Uhh.... Ok if the "metropolitan area" population counts I'm in it. I don't know 10-15 miles or something to downtown? but if we need technical like people living in the downtown area sort of deal, I'd have to do some research. I don't know Pedro, what counts here?

I live 295 miles from Chicago, but I feel like that's a pretty shitty judge of how connected I am to a population center.

Ohio, which ranks 7th in terms of the united states pop. So I feel like citing Chicago as the closest population center is kind of... bullshit.

Toronto is only about 30 miles from here as the crow flies, but unfortunately I'm not a crow and have to take the highway, which makes it a practical distance of 70 miles.

I guess I would be about 3 hours away...Dallas is the closest (I think...Houston could be closer, not sure.) over 1 million city to me. Austin is pretty close, something like 600 or 800 thousand. Either way, not far for me.

I live in Helsinki, which has a population of about 600 000, but the metropolitan area of Helsinki has a population of over 1 million so does that count or not?

Distance from your house the the centre of the city. (Hence why I had to vote 10-20 miles even though I live in London)

I apologise for my lackadaisical measurement unit efforts, in creating this highly scientific experiment. Next time I'll use parsecs or something equally unusual, where everyone has to use one of those on line distance converters.

If a man lives miles from an urban centre but can still get a hooker: is he really alone?

It's funny when you keep insinuating I am gay and I think I will share this joke with my friends next time I am at school they will find it funny because talking about gay people is funny that is why you make jokes about me being gay.

It's not my fault your testosterone levels are so low that you think eating a burger is excessively masculine.
