Posted: 4/5/2006 6:11:46 PM | of course I would!
you sound like a reasonable and practical person. (also this should be an incentive for women to date you, now you have more money to spend on them :)
a man's character should not be judged by his "ride". | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 6:23:47 PM | | You got it J!!!!! We are the ones who limit ourselves given whatever the disability. I, personally don't see myself with a disability but I have been told that is what it is. So I can't drive anymore. I have other ways to get around. LOL. I would not like to see people limit themselves because they perceive me as a liability. Not fair of me to ask them to do so, so to each their own. I got to tell ya, my band is the only reason I went to the POF party that I attended. I met some great people there and plan on attending and helping at whatever party I can now. They are, as a whole, a great bunch of people. | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 9:19:27 PM | Interesting thread. I don't have a car myself. I live in Toronto. 3 minutes walk away from my front door is a subway station. There are three major bus routes with regular service at my door also. A 5 minute walk up the street is a car rental agency. Directly across the street from my home is a taxi stand. I can be anywhere in Toronto within one hour by transit, or 30 minutes by taxi.
To run a car would cost me an estimated $8,000 annually. I would still wind up taking transit almost daily, because parking in the downtown core is a minumum $20 for anything more than 1 hour, and I can get downtown faster by transit than I can drive it anyway. I can take a lot of taxis for $8,000. I can spend $20 a day on taxi fares and still shell out less. For $8,000 I can hire one additional student part time.
I get by fine with no car. If I date a woman and it really bothers her to drive, I will arrive to pick her up in a taxi. We will leave by taxi. We will return by taxi. And I will go home by taxi. If she does not like older cars, there is Emerald Taxi - they have new Cadillacs and Lincolns. And using Emerald Taxi to cross the city 4 times in an evening will still cost less than one week of owning and maintaining a car.
I meet someone from a long way out of town - that's when I get the car. Until then, where's the issue?

Posted: 4/5/2006 9:39:48 PM | Panaqqa...............to date me realistically you would need a car simply because of my location. I live in Ptbo.........taxi from Toronto to here would be a small fortune, greyhound not real practical for a date............and well since I don't seem to date local men, most are from the Oshawa area...........they need a car.............I also work in Whitby so I have a car and don't mind visiting them, but its gotta be a 2 way street.
So I can understand if you are in Toronto why you may not need a car there, but gawd I can't imagine taking my date to lovers lane in a taxi and making out in the backseat.....LOL LOL | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 9:44:08 PM | devil: yeah thats exactly what i am talking about I buy a beer the other nite and its not long before it became half full and it was all my doing not anyone else lol
panaqqa: very good point it costs money when you have a car and if you feel a car isnt necessary to have all the time in your situation the to just rent one or get around by tax or other ways.
you can always get your buddy with a nice car to drive you around and say its yours but my friend will be driving it so that i can spend more time with you baby lol

I don't think lover's lane in a taxi quite flies, you're right. But would a rented Caddy be so bad? The situation if I were dating would basically be to look at the taxi and rental expenses, and if they began to exceed, say, $600 per month - then buy a car.
Nice city by the way, Peterborough. Two of my old high school classmates went to Trent. | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 10:05:20 PM | Panaqqa that would fly..........you are a very classy man. And my sister and her late husband who lived in Toronto never owned a car either for the same reasons you noted and that I can understand.
I'm a Newmarket girl came here 6 years ago for school and haven't left yet......I'm getting used to quiet..........LOL | |

I've never had a probem with it, but then I love to drive.
After my speeding ticket court date passes I might not have my license for 30 days...but I'm suppose to go to the airport and then off to Texas like 2 days after the trial. Wanna gimme a lift to the airport if I don't have my license anymore? hehe You do love to drive right? :P | |

Posted: 4/6/2006 6:39:45 AM | I have, and I am. Yes, its awkward especially with a 2 hour distance between us but we've been meeting part way.
Up in my neck of the woods Greyhound doesn't come through everyday so that wouldn't even be an option - you can't get here from there on a Saturday, Monday or Wednesday - but you can get to a town within 1/2 an hour 5 times a day on the GO bus which is how my brother comes to visit.
If the relationship is good enough you make the effort - there have been some I have met I wouldn't drive across the road to continue seeing | |

Posted: 4/6/2006 2:00:14 PM | | People be honest. Car people should date car people, and bicycle people should date bicycle people. It doesn't work when people date people who are not in their financial league. If you are used to eating steak, you are not going to be happy with a baloney sandwich. The novelty wears off real fast. Nothing wrong with that, it is just the way it is. If the baloney people really want to eat steak, it is a good idea they aspire to be a steak eater, but not on someone else's hard work. | |

Posted: 4/6/2006 3:28:35 PM | | Hey Helga123, You should have read all the previous postings girl!! Don't want to have ppl attacking you on here. Some people don't have cars for different reasons other then financial. I can buy as many cars trucks and any mode of transportation I want, but it does not mean the doc is going sign the required paperwork to allow me to drive again. Financial stability is in another Thread here. Don't let this stop you from posting, your input is valid even if a little off. Happiness is a state of mind and you are right, if you want a rich guy with nice cars and such then by all means go for it. If you are happy with the bicycle guy then go for it. As long as you are happy with your choices, you have to look at yourself in the mirror every morn just like rest of us. I trully do hope you can find happiness with whatever you are looking for. | |

Posted: 4/6/2006 3:51:11 PM | | I just came up with something else from another perspective that hit me right in the kisser. I do financing for a living, helping people purchase assets such as cars. Some of these people getting into cars are far from stable and rather tricky to deal with. So, just the fact of someone having a car does not really mean that they are stable or up to the standards that have previously been discussed in the thread here. | |

That's for sure! I bet you would know what the repo rate is like on Escalades, eh?
But seriously, any guy who wants a car can find somebody in any large city foolish enough to accept his credit. There are more bottom feeders in the automobile finance industry than just about any other field I can think of. Maybe women who insist their date have a car should also check that he parks it in his own driveway at nights!

Posted: 4/6/2006 4:17:23 PM | Nope...guys are ok, but I'd never date one without a car. Or with one for that matter.
(not that there's anything wrong with that)
