co workers says no car means no gf or date-true

[joe45]

ah i was talking to one of my co workers, slow day for the week and we were talking about cars. he tells me he has a 04 Civic coupe and he asked me about my car ,which i said i don;t have one. he says he doesn;t drive anything older tha a 98 and hates american cars and has high standard in cars....
he tells me how can a 24 yr old can not even have a car, and how that not having a car-meant no gf-what kind of girl would date a guy without a car.

my meaning is what do u guys think of this comment. do u guys now any guys or gf or ppl that have no car-the guy that is and still dates and or has a gf. how do they do it.
do girls really care about the car if u have one or not. i'm not talking about ppl in their teens but in their mid 20's or older and has no car-how do u guys date, and can they date. i met one before 31 asian guy named Derick who had no car, he said u have to improvise, like meeting them their, but i think he is the minority.

how many guys out theire mid 20's or older don;t have a car and has a gf or u now freinds, of freinds or ppl of ppl how do u do it. you ask me if a gal said she wasn;t goin date a guy with no car -i say shes superfical and shallow human being, i mean its just trransopration right. we both chinese hes a honger from hong kong and i'm a cbc-chinese canadian born

i mean even if ur a guy with a car -do u always pick up ur gf from her house and take her out, i mean gas is so $$$ and do u as the guy want to be a chauffeur. i mean the girl can meet up with u in a central close location and just go from there.
or maybe she has a car and u have a car, and just meet up at the movie theatre or what not.
what do u guys think comments and suggestion or are u in similar situation -tell me

he telle me to get a cell phone first and then a car, and then u will get a gf, whop needs a cell i don;t need one as i don't have a lot of contacts.lol i now a freind who has a cell and can't get any girls lol -yea right

he disses american cars like they all crap-i mean they aren't that bad and they heck cheaper than imports. i would get a 94 Saturn for 3k, or 98 Cavalier for 5k something like that, still new and nice and low km's too.

04 Honda Civic Coupe is it really something to brag about, and if u were a gal would u even be impressed.

oh ya i'm in vancouver,bc so transit is like ok. i

unless that guy Fred talks to me -i not going to talk to him anymore, thankfully we work at a call centre so we jsut do our own work and go home, its jsut somedays are slower and there is time for chit chat.

I really have no idea how things are in Canada.

I have a feeling where there is good public transportation it wouldn't be an issue.

Where I live now, you really can't get anywhere without driving.

I've only dated one guy who didn't drive and it's a non issue.

I suspect that girls in the teens 20s are going to be much more impressed by your material things than someone older than that.

I could be wrong here, but though I'm sure cars impress some women, generally its not the car so much as what not having a car could be indicative of. If it means that you are not independent, still living in mom's basement, unemployed, depending on people to take care of your basic needs, then I can see how that could be unattractive. If its a choice, if you're not driving out of principle and getting around by other means, then some women may even find this appealing. But if you're one of those guys who is perpetually unemployed or losing your license through violations or too scared to take on responsibilities, then it could be wise to get your act together--though I've known women who were attracted to this kind of guy as well, but its not the kind of relationship you want to find yourself in

getting slightly off the subject of cars, ive found some people just talk a load of rubbish! they are normally really fake and you take everything they say wth a pinch of salt! then people with similar "personalities" just agree with what they say anyway, no matter how stupid!

the people who matter (friends/girlfriends) wont care if you have have a car or not (although it may be a bonus), they should like you for who you are!

[livinginashell]

i just got a cell phone and a car...... still no chicks (girls aren't the reason i got them though... its more about you than your posessions

[Bodhi]

I think its more a pratical thing that having a car makes dating much easier. If you don't have a car and the girl does than she has to pick you up everytime you want to go out. It just makes it harder for her and probably makes you seem a bit less attractive.

Its also much easier to ask a girl out if you know that you can say to her, "I'll pick you up at 8" rather than, "Do you want to go out... oh by the way you will have to pick me up." I would feel very self-concious about asking a girl to do that.

And like Zaab said, it sometimes shows something else about you, like maybe you are not very independent.

Of course if you live in a big city with public transportation it might not be an issue at all. Yet if you live in a more suburban or rural area where a car is basically essential to get around, I would suggest you just buy a car. Putting aside the dating thing, just having the independence to get around whenever you want and not have to rely on others for rides is very good in itself.

just tell him you dont need a car to attract a woman.
if i had to form an opinion i would say both sides have made there share of crap...
i suppose he has a wing on the back of it, a fartpipe exhaust, ground effects, neon lights, and those stickers on the window that give him 50 extra horsepower....
ricers are nothing but posers man. dont listen to him.

Probably not a big deal. I prefer Japanese cars too (but Civics...
American cars aren't super bad, the newer ones are alright. But Cavaliers really are bad. Not a diss, i've known people with J-bodies and they just have problems galore. But yeah, I think the guy driving the girl places is sorta part of stuff. At least to begin with. After the first date or two it probably doesn't matter. I just think it would ring wrong to tell the girl you don't wanna spend the gas. Most people here that I know have cars. It's difficult to get around here without one and unlike most places, car insurance is ultra-cheap here.

[nats]

it really wouldn't bother me whether or not someone had a car, it's always a plus but it doesn't matter. I drive anyway, and so do lots of girsl.

[littledarling]

Ummmm, I'm sure less-shallow girls won't give a shit if you have a car or not. I'm sure one could have a car and cell phone and still not attract any girl.

In answer to your question, my fiance is 27 and has no car, let alone a license! As for how we meet on dates, he is comfortable walking/taking the bus , and I have no problem driving him around. Heh.

Dang... must stop losing license due to speeding tickets.

I haven't had a cell phone in over a year. God I hate them, but I suppose they're becoming a necessary evil.

And here's the Buzzzmobile, which just screams "sex appeal," doesn't it?

Better than my first car,



Not "mine", mine was grey, 2 door and didn't have the yucky dent. Still a heap though.

I'm 21 and don't have a car yet, although I do have a license. I borrow my mom's car when I'm at home, and when I'm at college I guess I'm usually stuck on campus. I don't really bother trying to date because I see it as a practical thing, without a car I wouldn't be able to travel very easily.

[skyhint]

When I dated a guy with out a car we just "stayed in" a lot, if ya know what I mean.
