| Would you date a woman with no car?
Posted: 11/25/2007 9:06:59 PM | The last time I had a car was two years ago. It broke down and I didn't have the money to repair it. Since then I have not gotten another one; I get around by bus, or borrowing my sisters car. It is not a big deal to me as I always get where I need to go, and save on insurance and repairs.
My question is how many of you would get turned off by learning a woman doesn't have her own car? | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:14:41 PM | I wouldn't know.. but I don't think I would if she lived across the city, or if she has no intentions of driving..
Where I live the public transit sucks.. and I don't want to be a chauffer or the only mode of transportation whenever we go out.. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:21:54 PM | If she lives in a downtown area where everybody takes the trains or busses anyway...obviously, no big deal.
If she's living in an area that requires a car.........big deal. I'm not her limo service. Men are scrutinized by women if they don't have a car.... All things being equal....she needs a car. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:23:22 PM | | If she would fit on my bike it would work out. I don't have a car either. I am thinking of getting one though. Maybe I'll just get a girlfriend with a pick-up truck, and a boat or maybe one of those jet ski things. They should have boxes for that when we fill out our profiles here. Dating and carpooling at the same time. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:28:05 PM | | No problem at all, but I live in a city with good public transit. Not having a car can limit your mobility if you live somewhere where the transit is poor or nonexistent... and someone who needs a ride all the time or help getting to and fro... that's a definite turn-off. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:32:26 PM | If you live in an urban area where it's not necessary, that's one thing.
In the Motorcity, and most of suburban America, people own some mode of transportation. If she does not, it would depend on the reason-a recent divorce, an accident, a large repair bill, a repossession?
I think part of the answer to the question depends on what you're looking for in a woman. If you're of the Old School that is OK with taking care of a girl, then whatever floats your boat.
Speaking for myself, I am not looking to take care of anyone, at least not from the word go- been there, done that. If she is financially destitute, has DUI's and the insurance is too expensive, we might have a problem.
I definitely don't see it as a positive. But whether or not I would date her would depend on the explanation.
You don't sound like any of those apply to you-as long as it did not seriously inconvenience the relationship, I guess it wouldn't be a problem.
Honestly, the biggest thing I see working against you is the lack of honesty present in online dating (and dating in general). This is exactly the type of thing people are prone to making excuses for when other areas of their lives are a disaster. Some people may just write you off as a loser with no car, thinking you aren't being honest. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:50:00 PM | I live in a downtown metro area. I don't need a car, I don't have a car. I walk to work and live minutes away from the entertainment district. If I need to get somewhere quickly, I take a cab. If I need to go someplace out of the way, I rent a car... it's actually cheaper than owning. I don't expect someone to be my chauffeur, I'll do what I need to if required.
If a guy had a problem with the fact that I don't own a car, based on just the fact that I don't own a car... there'd be some red flags there. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 10:36:22 PM | Doesn't matter to me if the woman doesn't have a car...
A woman with a bicycle though would be someone after my heart.  (I'd love to have a riding partner.) | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 11:53:12 PM | A car is more of an integrity issue -means she is smart enough enough to finance something, responsible enough to insure the vehicle and maintain a drivers license. however if she has no car but a good job and puts her money into a house or finances -etc. she's still a keeper -however hopefully she's smart enough to weed through losers trying to take a free ride off her abilities and resources. | |

Yeah, have done it before & would probably end up doing it again. But as someone else pointed out, part of it does go to showing some level of responsibility & independence.
My question is how many of you would get turned off by learning a woman doesn't have her own car?
Wouldn't find it a turn off. Just means we could park somewhere in my car   | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 4:07:51 AM | I will use the redirect function to answer this one...if some guy had to ask me if i had a car..I would figure he did not have a car, and that would be goodbye. Now if it concerned social values after i knew him somewhat, then yes any woman should have a car. I feel that todays woman not having a car would either mean she is a total loser or druggy.

Posted: 11/26/2007 4:22:23 AM | Wouldn't turn me off at all if the woman didnt have a car. So long as she understod that i'm not her free taxi sevice. If she wont help put gas in the tank then she can buy me dinner instead. In otherwords if she is expecting everything for nothing then i find that selfish and she will be doing a lot of walking.
Peace | |

That would seem to be a very narrow opinion to me. There are so many other reasons that a person may not have a car besides being a druggy or a loser. That's like saying any person who has had more than one sexual partner is a slut, and yes I'm talking both male and female here. Or anyone who has more than 2 drinks a week is an alcoholic.
To the original question, I suppose it would depend on the reason. If it were because of irresponsibility, then I will probably have a problem. If it were because of choice or physical ability, then it isn't a problem. There are other ways to get around. You just have to figure out how to use them. Unfortunately, in the United States, we are such an individualistic society, that god forbid anyone doesn't have a car or uses public transportation. I would suggest that to the majority of citizens in the United States of America, figuring out public transportation is like Rocket Science. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 7:28:13 AM | | something like that all depends on the city in which you live. in larger centeres where public transit runs 24 hours a day and it's actually good, it's very easy to get by without a car. if you live in a smaller city like me, where public transit only runs for less then twelve hours it can be very difficult to get around. i would be weary about someone trying to use me as a personal taxi, so i would probably meet up on any dates, rather then do the "traditional" thing and pick her up. | |
