| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 9/20/2006 11:39:09 PM | | For me it is not a question of whether or not he has a car. It is the fact that many men message you from distant city and expect you to drop everything and drive from, say, PTBO to Windsor because he can't drive. That seems a little rude to me. It is the fact that a lot of male non-drivers just assume that because I have a car that I would. That is not so true. Yes, I have done my fair share of driving in past relationships, and I did not mind one bit. But, that all seems ridiculous to me... how can the relationship sustain itself if one party feels used/ or the other party feels inadequate about having "his woman" drive him around...? | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 11/27/2006 1:58:42 PM | | Yep I thought about it, he was waiting to buy one in the spring. If it wasn't for the timing n someonelse I met prior who knows. It's about the guy not his car, sometimes we all need to make sacrifices to make it work tho. | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 11/27/2006 2:26:06 PM | OMG lol I can't believe women's responses. I guess in toronto a car is a non-issue for me. T.T.C is a great form of transportation. I've made different things like purchasing a home my priority and not a vehicle...how can I judge a man for not having a vehicle if I myself don't have one. When planning road trips, we can rent a car and if he doesn't have a liscense, I would be more than happy to do the driving...would actually prefer lol. | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 11/27/2006 3:04:59 PM | Well gzzz What a Topic ..I thought it was about time for me to Post a Coment here.. You see I don't Drive Nor have a License take in Mind sure the expense.. is horrible but I never ever get driven anywhere niether do I ask Its my responsibility to get myself to where I need also People have to keep in Mind Medical reason may lead in such reason of not have a Vechile, I have 4 kids and I always get offers and never do I take the offers I rather walk or take Public transit, I appreciate offers from people and sure at times I wish I did have a vechile but to be Judge on a relationship or even a Date because you don't have a Car is Off the Wall ...Like i said My responsibility to get to where I need to get !! Also I might add if someone does goe my way and I do need to get somewhere quick I always offer $$ for gas! Sorry But it Bothers me to see People Judging On Materialistic things like Someone had said In the Beginning Of this Thread.... Hope I don't offend anyone on my Post But it bothered me ... So 's too ya all !!! | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 11/27/2006 3:50:33 PM | Having a vehicle should not affect a relationship. If you would care enough about the person you would pick them up, drive them around...ect
Crap... I have 2 vehicles.
I need a bumper sticker that would read.
"MY OTHER CAR IS A PIECE OF SHIT TOO!" | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 11/27/2006 9:47:35 PM | My question would be, if he doesn't have a car, where do you make out?
I guess behind the 7-11 or under the bleachers, like all the cool kids... | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 11/27/2006 10:31:36 PM | I would never date a woman who wouldn't date me , if I wouldn't date her , if she wouldn't date me , if I refused to date her , if she cancelled at the last minute , if I decided not to date her , if she didn't wanna date me , just because I got too confused to drive . Now ..where'd I leave my keys !!??

| Would you date a guy without a car? Of course I would! Posted: 12/8/2006 6:42:24 PM | Yes, I definately would date a man with no car.
I have a car... I date someone now that has a car but I prefer to drive to his place anyway. He's busy, works late - I just find it more convenient for us both. I love driving.
As far as insurance goes - not sure what your settings are here (I just restricted mine) but I would be willing to speak to you privately about the amounts of money you are mentioning for premiums. Will depend on where you live, driving record and what you want to drive but have you gone online to get a quote? I am not sure I'm allowed to say much more than that here- but your rate sounds terrible. Try to contact me privately about that.
Now - have I said enough? As in - if "I" have a car and I like you, you don't need a car - I'll drive! Its ok...
And besides, if I do the driving I can leave when I want to...works well for me.
Not to say I don't dream of going out, getting loaded and naughty and sitting in the passenger seat leading the driver into temptation...
But that's not the question.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

That is the most horrid assumption ive ever read. It may be true for some men but not all.
If you even know how much ive spent the past two years in driving lessons, you would get your mouth and permanently glue your teeth toghether. So please don't think all men are irresponsible. Don't think that all men that don't have a car want their gf to be their chauffer.
Also men have chaffered women around so why can't women.
Seriously though I get free bus, I gladly would pay for a cab if I have to and do not expect anyone to pay my way for transportation. Yes I don't have a car but I am responsible for my own transportation.
As for the attempt to get my license Ive been taking classes for 2 years now. I went in highschool as well and did so badly my parents didn't want me to go anymore. Now Im paying for it out of my own account. Ive been trying to get my G2 for two years now. So please never ever call a man irresponsible. Never assume and always educate yourself before making an opinion.
Good day to you all. | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 12/9/2006 8:14:33 PM | "If a guy cant afford a car he shouldnt be in a relationship"
Ill remmeber to surgically graft my buttocks to a car in order to show women that I finally am not missing any important vital organs necessary for the pleasure and enjoyment that comes with a relationship.
Not that I can't afford a car but it seems like a car has become an extension of the human body?
When did material possessions become so important that suddenly they represent who we are.
Im not saying income isn't important, I wouldn't say that a person shouldn't be able to cover necessities.
Just that it's made to sound as if a human is inferior based on a factor of what they own.
I thought human society finally developled the significant intelligence that it dosen't work that way.
When you pour out of a womb everything you come with except the umbilical cord is all you have to the day you die. Everything else is just an accomodation or privelage earned by hard work, social rules, luck, family or whatnot.
All of that can easily be lost at any moment. Heck most of us really are not even worth what we have when considering how many people really have the ability to stop all their items of ownership to be taken from them. Not many. The only thing allowing us to even hold power over what we own are social rules and the law. As well as the complacency thats trained into us to not just take from one another. Of course if we did people would be too busy fighting to own anything.
Anyways the point is the true sum of worth is integrally the person themself everything else is nothing but cake frosting. Unfourtunately people don't want to see it that way anymore.
I mean based on the fact that I don't own a car if thats whats making women not take interest in me than they may as well say that they won't date a man with a broken leg, foot, or any type of disability that dosen't impair cognitive abilitys.
Im not saying that owning a car isn't a necessity in some areas, that having an income isn't a important priority. Though by logic shouldn't we be looking more at how people handle what they own and who they are instead of what they have.
There are people who earn maybe a small percentage more than I do and in the end their earning the same? Why their spending their money eating at restaurants. They could be working extra hours, earning more money but theres no time to prepare their own food, theres less time for them to safeguard their health and in the end their earning the same income as I am yet their working more hours.
So integrally, sometimes having more could be having less. I might not have a car and can't transport people at the moment but im not tied down by a car either. I don't have five hundred dollar bills to pay for car accidents, broken fenders or what ever else has to be dealt with.
Now Im not trying to sound cheap Im just saying that ownership of an item can be a restriction just as much as it can be a great asset.
Ive been using a considerable sum of my money weekly for personal hobbies for example, it's always been within certain bounds but now I see that it's just an accumulation of more work and less freedoms. Collected items need to be stored and cleaned, books have to be organized, old things need to be sold, rooms are harder to clean and organize. The same comes with the ownership of anything else.
Want a bigger house? Have more to clean, want more of this have more to put away.
We keep needing to have status, own all these things and consequently im not trying to advertise myself as a saint in this regard. Im just questioning my actions and questioning societys values.
Does owning a car because it can make someone go here or there more easily really add to quality of life or does it not?
I had a freind who would drive his car just a block, instead of walking. That to me is a pathetic waste. Im mean he was always a competitor and a status seeker, all he wanted was to show off his coolness and superiority. Yet realistically he was getting less exercise, buliding bad habits, wasting gasoline and just proving to people that he was a show off.
Im not saying im Jesus friggin Christ. Just making an observation of some of the situations negative factors on my personal opinion.
I personally think a car is mainly important for work or family more than anything else. That is when to me a car is important. Why buy a car to party and show off when I can go to the downtown core for free? It's frivilous and wasteful in my opinion. That dosen't mean I expect another human being to drive me around either. Bus transportation suffices for me. Walking suffices, if I had a bike a bike would gladly suffice as well.
Why is status so important?
If anything by not owning a care interest from the money saved grows in the bank and a car in the future can be well afforded.
Why tie myself down with a car that I have no need for? It dosen't make much logical sense.
Theres no babys to cart around, theres no job thats too far away from where I live. Have no need for what is just a wast of resources. | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 12/10/2006 1:26:03 AM | | I don't drive ... have never had my license (and therefore never had a car), so who am I to hold it against anyone else? Vehicle, no vehicle ... makes no difference to me. Where there's a will, there's a way. | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 12/10/2006 9:26:16 AM | | i make sure that when i first meet a woman i drive the most strange car that i have that way they look at me for me not for what i drive i can save the nice cars for later when things r more secure if a woman is so materialistic that they judge me on the car i drive then they r in for a surprise and it will be thier loss i make a point of driving quirky cars that make ppl think and why u say ? well just because i can and thats the kind of person i am so if u have a problem with me coming to pick u up in a red 1983 volkswagen rabbit with wall to wall leopard skin then don't bother messeging me your car should be fun no matter what it costs a person with a fun car will be much more fun to be with than a person with that "perfect" car money isn't everything ppl but i do agree if someone doesn't have a licence and doesn't have a medical reason for it more often then not they tend to be lazy unreliable ppl and they definatly wouldn't be the person for me its onething not to be able to afford a car but u should atleast have a licence ok enough ranting maybe we should have a pof cruise night where everyone can bring out thier cool cars and the women can judge us on our cars suit us lmfao ya like that would ever happen later all happy motoring lol | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 12/10/2006 2:28:46 PM |
if a woman is so materialistic that they judge me on the car i drive
if someone doesn't have a licence and doesn't have a medical reason for it more often then not they tend to be lazy unreliable ppl
I'm trying to figure out how one is better than the other, but can't see how a person judging you for the type of car you drive is any better than you making a general, sweeping statement about the character of those of us who have chosen not to drive.

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 12/10/2006 10:04:14 PM | to miss independent if u read correctly u will see i said "more often than not" this does not mean all ppl r like that but in my experiance most of the ppl i meet with no licence are busy spening all their money on bad habbits and therefore do not have the will or money to advance themselves these are not the type of ppl that i would like to date or have as a mate and i do not think alot of others would like that either i find most of the ppl i meet that don't drive usually use that as an excuse to not do things and not to advance thier lives (seems like denial to me) so asked if i would date someone that didn't have a licence prolly not, not unless they made a big impression on me to make me believe contrary to what i have learned in the past i never got my licence untill i was 21 i know what its like to live without it and how limited my life was if u have never had a licence u will never know for me i would not like to go back to not having a licence or a car and i would like my mate to atleast have a licence plus it wouldn't work well for me to restore cars without a drivers licence lmfao  | |

| Would you date a guy without a car Posted: 12/11/2006 5:29:29 PM | It all depends on why they dont have a car
Lives in Torono...then there is no need for a car.. Can't pass the test...Ok we may have a learning disorder...a maybe at best Doesn't have the money....depends on why, are they lazy? Just go through a divorce? Why no money? Is it materialistic to expect someone to have a car and lisence...in some way yes in some no. It all boils down to need. If you live in a rural area, then you might need an automobile and not date one without. If you live in the city you may not need one ever. It isnt wrong to say you wouldnt date someone without a car, but again it all depends on why you wouldnt do it....
Sadly this issue is much deeper than just do you have a car. We live in a society where most want to date within or above their own socio-economic standing. Most that can afford a home and a car, want to date others that are the same.
