Im more judging someone on who they are as opposed to what they have and don't. I feel i was unfairly judged but its cool....means its not worth it anyway.

I guess it depends on the person/situation or distance.

I could totally see this happening. There's always some way to make it work. He doesn't live that far away and I've traveled to see a guy. Its no big deal for me.

I've worried about this myself before as far as being with others, I don't have a car either or license, and not too wild about getting either though I know I may have to eventually. As it is I walk most places around here, or bus if I had to, and in the future may taxi as they have cut some bus services as of a week or two ago.

You almost have to be like everyone else it seems to be accepted these days.

well we will have to agree to disagree

Ima car girl

buyin a new one soon

I think your ideas and the ideas of others who don;t want cars are OK for yourself but you shouldn't rain on the parade of those who love cars and want to have them. end/

Exactly. What you own is not who you are. I understand the appeal of the car thing -- transportation is nice to have in a lot of circumstances -- but how far do you go with the "must haves"? "I wouldn't date her because she doesn't have a 17th century umbrella stand." It all gets pretty arbitrary.

Yes, I would. But I would make sure I knew enough about them first.

I once dated a girl in high school, and it turned out she was using me just to drive her around. I have dated someone without a car since then - without making the same mistake.

Personally, when I don't have a car - for whatever reason - I am too embarrassed by it to ask anyone out. If I ask a women out, I feel it is my responsibility as a man to have my own transportation.

But that doesn't mean I hold everyone to that same standard. That's just me. If I'm feeling nervous over a car, then I'm going to botch the date due to anxiety. Others might feel the same way, hence they shouldn't place themselves in that situation unless they already know it's not an issue.

If the person they are dating has an issue with it, then it probably won't work anyway. So it's best to be upfront about issues like this. Know what you're getting into....on both sides.

No need to take this personal. There is nothing wrong with loving your cars.

You must not love the one you have very much if you are trading it in for a new one though. What's the matter with it? Is it a hunk of junk?

Or are you just buying another one?

I like my car, and I will probably spend more money fixing it up than its actually worth.

I didn't mean to rain on anyone's parade.

We don't have to "agree" to "disagree."

Lets just have different opinions.

I get tired of these weird standards. It truly says nothing about me as a person if i owned wheels. Just because S O M E women use men to be their little chauffeur doesn't mean we're all like that...hell... I did say i would meet the guy half way you know. I don't have a car for my own personal reasons. To have it be the end all be all is really sophomoric. To me its almost like saying i can't date you because you aren't up to my level financially. Who made these rules?

The same is said about men who live with their parents. Well, that didn't stop people from courting or marrying in all the centuries previous. It's a more modern, more urban, concept.

It all comes down to generalizing. Everyone does not fit a cookie cutter mold. People do things for different reasons. If given a chance to explain, one might find the reasons are legit rather than excuses. But to reach a decision without all the facts, or based on your views or opinions alone, means shortchanging not only others, but yourself as well.

Still, people are entitled to their opinions, regardless of how misguided they are, or how much we disagree with them. Sometimes it's best to just walk away, and let them be.

I think it probably is going to be a problem. Having a car, or at least a license, seems to say a lot about a person's independence and dependability to get places on time and to stay out of trouble financially and socially.

If you are always depending on another to say when you come or go it is really limiting and takes great planning. Useally arriveing at another's convienence since mass transit is such a joke in the USA.

Which I hate to admit but find is true as a non driver.

Perceptions seems to be everything which irratates me because I have never been drunk or irresponsible with a car or even ask for a ride since I just assume I am walking or arrange for a cab/bus to be on time, if not early, consistently but most people assume that won't be the case.

Which makes me wonder how some guys are not more worried about a female having a car and stalking them which I hear more complaints about than having to drive someone some where. Oh well who knows.

I donno...I don't think that what a person has or doesn't have is what defines them.

That being said... Trying to start a relationship with someone who can't travel from point A to point B for even the simplest of things, without some help, is not going to make things any easier. Doesn't make them less love worthy. It does make them more of a pain in the @$$.

This would be it, exactly for me.

I've dated carless chicks before and would again. It makes it harder for them to escape!

What if your car doesn't have a computer or if you fix them for a living?

I don't care if my date has a car or not, I do. Or else we can be extravagant and use a taxi.

If you fix them for a living or even just for yourself, you are a very valuable asset. All junk becomes possibility.

My younger sister has a driver's licence that lets her drive trucks, motorcycles, and even a bus. A cop stopped her one day and looked at her licence and asked her:

"Is there anything you don't drive?"

She said she hasn't got her helicopter licence yet.
