AFF GEO "improvements" - GoFuckYourself.com

I used to be tagged as Wichita. Not too bad: it's not the closest place of a reasonable size (Joplin and Tulsa are nearer), but Wichita is well-known and only maybe a 90-minute drive.

But the last few days I'm being encouraged to find a sex partner in somewhere called Greenwich and my first thought was that something had got screwed up. Then, courtesy of Google I found out that Greenwich is a suburb of Wichita.

Isn't this going a bit far? I can't imagine that most people are going to be familiar with the suburbs of any city except their own. So in a stroke, the GEO IP feature has gone from providing extra appeal to possibly being a deterrent. Why would I be interested in finding someone in a place I never heard of?

And BTW, since however it is run most people are only located approximately, wouldn't it be better to use the word 'around' than 'in' for the link text?
