Yet to anybody from the east coast, and New York in particular, Chicago with its pace and mentality of residents resembles St. Louis much more than New York. While New York is very cosmopolitan, Chicago is very Midwestern. Chicago's business connections don't change much.
Im from the East Coast, and no.
Who is paying you to pretend youre from a place you arent and spend this much time on a place you dont like?

Chicago is midwestern and it's very cosmopolitan and more so than pretty much any city in the Midwest and the vast majority of cities in the US. New York City is more cosmopolitan and it's more so than any city in the US regardless of which region those cities are in. I don't see you putting up a very sound argument. NYC as a baseline standard for cosmopolitan would mean pretty much no city in the US or the world is cosmopolitan.
Depends on how we're parsing that. If you mean "all-American Chicagoan" where the all-American is meant to be the most stereotypable as all-American then sure but that would be the case if you put that in front of any US city dweller. If you meant that somehow a city as large and diverse as Chicago is going to fall into a single "type" then that's obviously flawed.
Take this with the fact that anywhere from a fifth to a quarter of Chicagoans are foreign-born, a large population who are first or second generation Americans, a fairly large Puerto Rican population that are not counted as foreign-born but come from a not so stereotypical American background, and the general diversity of even the many generations American who are not going to fulfill the preconceived stereotypes you're talking about.
Sure. One visit to Chicago bars and you big part of population wearing cubs jerseys and baseball caps, girls in shorts and Uggs Yes they would definitely stand out I'm Amsterdam lol

That statement alone shows you have never spent quality time in Chicago. Outside of before and after a Cubs game in Wrigleyville, no one dresses like that to go out to the bars/clubs.

Some trolls are so pathetic.
I spent plenty of time in Chicago and the frat boy standard is well and alive there. Cubs jerseys, sneakers and girls in shorts and uggs. You don't think this would stand out in Amsterdam?

I need to remember to use shorter and fewer sentences. I understand that reading is hard. I feel you bro.

That frat boy scene only exists in wrigleyville. Again you have not spent enoughtime here. You are a really bad liar, but then again most trolls are.

You really think there arent people in NYC who are fratboys, or "wear sneakers" and uggs/shorts?
And thats what separates cosmopolitan-NYC from non-cosmopolitan-Chicago?
Old Italian American men come into my work all the time looking for the most basic low grade clothing. They dont give a **** about what they wear as long as its cheap. A shirt is a shirt. Oh im sorry, lets use the example you did. Sneakers.
I dont even know what flotard is saying anymore, and I dont think he does either.
Its honestly impressive how absolutely moronic some people can be that you cross paths with on the internet.
