| Would you date a guy without a car
Posted: 6/9/2006 3:38:11 PM | | I was chatting with a man here at one time. He told me he didn't drive so I politely explained that I didn't date men who didn't have their own vehicle. He was very angry and got rude with me. What's up with that??? We all have our preferences in one area or another. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 6:47:34 PM | WOW. I can't believe there are so many people that put the car before the actual person. If I was to base my relationships on whether a person has a car or not, I probably would always be single.
I don't have a car because of financial reasons. I've been raising my kids for the last 15 years without child support so the thought of owning a car is something I get to consider when they move out.
I've also dated a few guys that don't have one either and we were able to go places by bus, cab, with friends, etc. It didn't stop us from having a relationship.
I thought you were supposed to be with the person, not their bank book or car status. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 6:49:35 PM | Then tell me why it's okay for a girl not to have a car and the guy always has to have one? The girl always expects the guy to have a car, but it's not really mandatory for a girl to have one. It's the year 2006, girls are supposed to be equal, right? If she doesn't have a car, she shouldn't complain if the guy doesn't have one.
Yeah, I do have a car ('03 Pointiac Grand AM), but why should I always rack up the mileage on my car?
If the girl has a car, then that's great. We can share the driving duties while dating. Sure, it's nice to pick up the girl at her house, but it's nice when she can drive as well (eg. I don't feel well, I don't feel like driving, etc.)
For me personally, if she doesn't have a car but is willing to take the TTC to meet me somewhere, that is suitable enough for me. I refuse to be the "taxi driver" in the relationship. I won't make her take a bus at night... that's cruel. | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 5:08:37 AM | If I really liked the guy....I would date him. It wouldn't bother me. I've done it before. Mind ya I didn't like the part where he used me for my car though...although he was alot younger then me....so I'll just blame it on his immaturity... | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 11:17:47 AM | What am I reading here....LMAFO
I'm sorry but women on here who believe that a man should have a car in order for them to even be considered shows some sort of selfishness.....It shouldn't matter if a man has a car or not cause what you should be looking for is emotional and mental compatibility..Then some women wonder why they're still single...maybe it's due to being to damn picky on what they want....To judge a man based on if he drives or not...LMAO
And for these mothers out there that talk about being a chauffeur....you talkin like it's a problem...You should be driving your kids around if you have to but don't place a man in the same category...I for one don't care if a woman drives or not....If she really wants to meet/see me we can work something out...I live downtown so everything's close to me...
This society has gone to the shits with all these expectations that we have towards the opposite sex....what happened to just getting together and finding that spark....But now we gotta worry about what kind of job we have or how much $$ we make or If we drive and what kind of car we drive or What kind of designer jeans we wear........
Damn Damn Damn......  | |

Everything might be close to you, except for maybe the girl who you are interested in or vice versa... Test out meeting/dating someone from outside the city limits and then see if your perspective changes!!
Depends on how cute his ass is........
I'm thinking that if he has to haul that ass around on foot or bicycle, the ass should be in mighty fine shape!!! ha! | |

If I live in Toronto....why would I go looking for someone in MTL? I have dated and hung out with female outside of Toronto.....I work in Whitby...Cause I'm not lazy and I don't have expectations of how my life should be run..Like I said....if you want something...you'll make it happen
So being outside of city limits is no probs for me..... | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 12:27:42 PM | It would be a problem if you didn't have a car, because you would need to find a female who is willing to drive in your direction everytime you wanted to spend time with each other. Uhm, and who said anything about Montreal? Although, if you're without a car, Hamilton, Montreal, London...it would all be the same if you didn't have a way to get there.
Lazy? I don't think not owning a car and being lazy go hand in hand... It comes down to mobility and accessibility. If your girlfriend was having a hellish night, it's two o'clock in the morning and you just wanted to go and be with her, spend time with her, could you do it without a car? I think not! It's little things like that, that often make a huge difference. It has nothing to do with how much money you have in the bank or what kind of jeans you wear. It's about being available in a practical sense to your partner. | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 12:36:27 PM | LMFAO....We live in the yr 2006....There's always a way to get places.....It's called transit....unfortuately some ppl think they're too damn high and mighty to take that route and who says I need a female to drive? I don't look far and wide to find what I'm looking for...I have patience that I can find someone within my region and my region stretches out to Durham Region no sense looking in the U.S or B.C......so for me I'm sorry but your arguement doesn't fly with me......This to me is nothing compared to other points I made in my original post.......
Sorry I didn't realize you had more to say.....I am a very independant man and my moms was an independant woman.......I would hope that the girl I was seeing or talking can handel stress on her own and not need me to come out there at 2am just to make her feel good....If she can't feel good on her own or at least be appreciative that I call her to make sure things are ok then that shows me selfishness...i wouldn't so do that to her.....but that shows the dependancy some women have for men..........
And you live in Port Dover....so you don;t know how important glamour and glitz weighs a big part in the big city....ppl may say otherwise, but they're lying
Come live In the Tdot or even MTL or Van City and you'll see a difference
Trust me | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 12:48:01 PM | My point...is that it's fine if you live in Toronto and the girl is too. However, not everyone lives in downtown Toronto! I think that most of the posts made by females in here who take issue with dating men without vehicles, are those who aren't smack-dab in the middle of a large city with several modes of transportation. I would hope you'd get that...
Selfishness? Dependency? We're human... Sometimes we have weak moments, no matter how strong we might be. If I was dating someone and they needed me, I would be there. I don't think that's selfish. That's called being supportive and emotionally available to your partner.
No thanks... I think I'm fine where I am! ha! I wouldn't want to live in a city the size of Toronto. I know it might be difficult to remember that there's a world outside the city limits for those who never leave the city. That isn't an insult, I just think that's the way it probably is sometimes if you don't spend a lot of time anywhere else. Might I dare say, that some even live glamorous lives outside of Toronto. | |

Oh I get it....what I don't get is why someone would go looking for others that is obviously outside their reach? and then depend on them to be there for you when they need you and make things more difficult than it was when they were single. Are there not any ppl for them where they live? Why not move then if it's so important to them?

Like I said.....a phone call(or even an email) should be just as meaningful as having to be there for her if it's not possible....Some women need to accept life for what it is and deal with the good and bad and not always need a man there to make them happy...This is regardless if they live in the same city or not
Might I dare say, that some even live glamorous lives outside of Toronto. And where do u think they get that influence and where do u think they go to party lookin like that........? | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 1:16:13 PM | I think I speak for most non-Toronto residents when I say... We don't look to Toronto and its influences to find our way through life! ha! That's a slightly arrogant thing to say, don't you think? That's a whole other thread topic I think...
what I don't get is why someone would go looking for others that is obviously outside their reach?
One's reach is certainly extended when one has a vehicle... Some of us might believe that there are lots of matches out there for us. Some of us might believe that there is a soulmate out there waiting to be found. If you are content with spending time with people in your immediate area then all the power to you! However, there may be some of us who are more willing to expand our horizons and not limit ourselves to a small geographical location! When you have your own transportation, driving an hour isn't that big of a deal. That isn't outside of my reach, but for someone without a vehicle? Hmm...
Bottom line... It isn't being picky or selfish. | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 1:23:32 PM | Sometimes the truth has arrogance in it....I'm a straight up realist....America influences Canada and Canada's major cities influence the rest of this country....
The real funny thing is that everybody puts importance on a machine that does more damage on the environment....but I guess we all need to be with someone no matter at what cost
anyways, I'm done this debate.....you're a worthy adversary, but you need to leave the small town life to realize what the bigger picture is
peace | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 1:28:45 PM | No worries...all the fresh air and open space down here, leaves this country-bumpkin plenty of room for a view of the big picture! Golly gee, once in awhile I even travel far enough away to see what traffic lights are all about...  | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 3:26:56 PM | | Sasslily, I agree with you completely!!! I live in North York, very close to downtown Toronto. Having a car makes it a whole lot easier getting around than walking or transit. And its not about being selfish. | |

Posted: 6/14/2006 4:15:14 PM | Ok, I would date a person without a car if their reason for not having a car was because they lived in the city.
What I don't get is , why is it selfish or arrogant to say you wouldnt date someone without a car? Having a car is not always a "status" symbol, as some would like to believe. Its a mode of transportation, it may also be a reflection of who you are, and in most (but not all) cases it shows some form of responsibility. I wouldnt date someone that didnt own a car because they were not self sufficient or responsible enough to get one. | |
