Dating a guy with no car...
Posted: 6/17/2006 7:00:01 PM
You must know the wrong women. I don't have an issue with him not having a car, or a job without a title etc... It doesn't really matter much as long as he has a goal and a drive to reach it. I don't care if his goal is to clean stalls all day. As long as he's not sitting on his @#$ and waffling about his life. Who I wouldn't date is the guys who's posts I've been reading that make assumptions about all women and act as if they have a chip on their shoulder.

dating a guy with no car is just like dating a guy who is lacking in any area; u better hope he makes it up for it some other way.

Hmm that sounds alot like me!! LOL..Well hey my assumptions are just like the assumptions most women make about men. Obviously one's views are based on one's experience...and unfortunately so far I have not seen it any different. Women will of course defend themselves as we guys will. But in the end it comes down to what kind of people you come across more often.
I come across more women who assume men their age or older are ALL boring, not some but ALL. Women who refuse to date a guy without a car, without a career type job. These days most women base judgement on a man by what possessions he has and how he dresses and the type of job he has.
What is funny is, job titles make eyes open and see $$$. Yet not every job title means money.
My job is a job anyone can really do, takes common sense is all. Yet I make more than people with fancy titles. But one would think I was full of shite. Had that many times. Prestige makes people become attractive. Just like a guy who lives beyond his means, is in debt up to his ears with an expensive car, condo, clothes and yet women will flock to the guy because it is impressive with what they see. Then they get pissed because they, the women, end up paying for the nights out etc because he is broke from having all the expensive things to impress with.
If a guy does not drive a car because he lives in a metropolitan city with a mass transit system that is cheaper and can take you from one end to the other, what is wrong with that.
All I hear is women say they do not want to be a taxi..well then you sure are picking the wrong guys because never have I asked or expected a woman to ever pick me up or take me home..I always pay for the gas if she says let's go say to Niagara Falls. I am NOT a CHEAP **stard and yet it seems all you women who refuse to date a guy without a car are saying we all want you to drive us around...NOT TRUE!! Oh ya you can assume but us guys cannot I so forgot..my bad.

Having a big title for your job just means you have more meetings to go to! lol. The fanciest title I ever had was for some two-day job where I just changed signs on easels all day! heh heh

lol hi pplz, wild im not replying to you i just cant find the link to the original post...lol...anyway i thought since reading through all the posts id make a final note...



im so not impressed with the ladies who wrote that you need a car in order to determine the amount of affection a man receives or the amount of effort you would put into your relationship, seriously. Thats sad. Especially with today's rising cost of living.

but on the positive side...You just showed us how materialistic, and self-centered you really are. I suppose we should all be gentlemen and thank you!

In European cities, the distances are much much smaller, and people do not hesitate to take taxis (or cabs) if and when necessary.

Dude, at least you have a job and choose to give up having a car...these guys that stay around here have no job...no car. Just bikes, not motorcycles...just plain old bikes.

If you live in....oh say New York, its probably cool, it seems like driving is such a pain, that no one really does it.

However, if you live in California, or someplace like that, its pretty important to have a car, as I have been on a public bus, and its no place you want to be with a dude travelling to a date.

Unless you have a helicopter, then you don't need a car

Yeah.... in the BIG cities it's understandable to NOT have a car..... I mean, where do you put it? Isn't parking expensive?? But where I live it's a necessity. I'm only 17 miles form work but it's all back road driving. In the summer you would be a big sweaty mess when you got there if you rode a bike and in the winter, it would suck big time!! lol

So it all depends on where you live. Watch Sex and the City sometime. They are always taking cabs or walking... lol.

A guy without a car...is someone who cares about the environment, someone who rather sacrifice comfort so that the rest of us can breathe a little easier. So guys, go on, ride your bikes, walk, run, take the bus...the more the better!

I can explain it quite nicely. I haven't had a car for almost 25 years.

No, I don't have a DUI - left to my own devices, a flask of rum will last me a year or so.

I'm a single parent.
I work at home.

Groceries were a 10 minite walk away, and a $2 cab ride back home with them.
I lived 3 blocks east of little Italy, and 2 blocks south of Chinatown for almost 20 years - resteraunts up the wazoo :-)

If I'm going on a date, no, I'm not going to hop on a bus and ask the lady to do the same - I'll call a cab.

For you ladies who have said that you wouldn't date a man without a car: I hope I don't see you posting in other forms bemoaning how shallow men are because they judge you based on the size of your breasts when you've been in here judgeing men based on the quality of their rides.

I have been living in San Antonio, Texas for a year, and I can't count how many couples and families I see taking the bus every day. We basically have the best bus system in the U.S. tho. The city is 16 miles square and you can get to over 12 miles square on bus. I currently make $6.50 an hour, but I am not going to get a car after I get my degree and make $35,000 a year. There isn't a single place outside the bus system that has anything differant to offer. With that said and a population 10 million, some of the no car guys might want to try moving here. There are alot of women here who can accept low income dispite the continous economical growth and job developement. I guess that's what makes it a big city with a small town feel.

BTW, the old posts that said need car in Texas and NM+TX has like 15 million are WAY off :)

I wouldn't get a car just so I could date, just find someone within walking distance. Explain to them why you don't have a car...add the "saving the enviromnent" twist and maybe they'll respect you even more :P

On the positive side, checking their reaction when you tell them you don't have a car is a great way to separate the women from the little girls.

Ok, I totqally agree with Sass. Call me a throwback. I have had my own car since i was 18. I have lived on my own since I was 18. I have never gotten a handout from anyone, including my parents, and I have managed just fine to take care of everything.
Now, if I was interested in dating a child, I would date one. I am more interested in someone who is capable, simply through his own actions and existence, of being that stereotypical man who does all those sterotypical male things which are car related; picking me up to surprise me with a picnic in the country or a weekend getaway, racing me to the hospital if I am ill...I am soooooooooooo tired of being the chauffeur. It has nothing to do with wear and tear on my car, or gas money, or anything ridiculas like that. I mean, if we got married, would I be driving my own pregnant behind to the hospital?
A car-less man just reeks "Oh ya, I can't do my own laundry, and I live with my mom".

I disagree olive those are just assumtions that youve created
i have a car but i can see why ppl wouldnt want one
there are many reason other than economical ones to not have a car
and couldnt he just drive your car if you needed to goto the hospital

I have had no car for 16 month in LA of all places, and it feels great.
I got electric scooters, and cars ARE going to be a thing, soon to be
unefficiant and unaffordable, of the past.
With that in mind, a carless guy is the biker of Y2K.
and why dont you both take a cab to the delivery and enjoy
it instead of
stressing it? maybe the baby`s got one, huh!

my friend pays $160 a month for insurance. that alone is alot of money just so girls like you. Frankly, I almost WANT to get a car, then pick up a girl while it still has that new car smell. she'd say "is the car new?" and I'd say "no, I bought it 3 months ago. I dont use a car in the city, but without one girls dont date me. I've put $2000 into it in those 3 months and your my first date" then look at her and smile.

why would I love to do that?
its ridicilous.
and then she'll realize how ridicilous it is to say she'd only date a guy with a car.

-- I added this to my profile just now

"I dont have a car. I also dont like this attidude that guys should have one. I could afford one if I wanted one, but I dont. In fact, I sold my car a year ago. In Toronto you dont need a car, I take the TTC, and if you are one of those girls who is so shallow that you "expect" the guy to be your cab while on a date, then dont message me."
