I've had a car since I was 17, so that's never really been an issue for me - but that doesn't mean that men aren't heavily pressured (generally) to have a car if they want a relationship. Virtually all of my girlfriends wanted me to drive all the time, for example. Even if my car was in the shop, I would usually drive her car when we went anywhere rather than her driving.
To be fair, I'm not especially good-looking so not having a car isn't ever going to be the big problem in my dating life... Lol.

Nope but if i didn't own a car and a crush rejected for it than i'll thank god for the rejection cause i don't wanna be with such a girl
I wouldn't turn down a guy for not having a car. But i dont drive so unless we’re ubering to eachother... 🤣 When in a relationship for at least a year, i’d help buy him one. I tried to buy the last one a car since he kept wasting his money on vacation cruises. But it bruised his ego for his woman to buy him a car so he kept turning it down saying it would make him feel emasculated. he's an idioy
My dating options decreased over 99% online when I said I did not drive but I said it was due to a medical condition and not low income.

No but I think it's a stupid reason. From a guys perspective this is something i often see girls list a reasoning for guys to have if the guys even wanna talk to them. First off your servely limiting yourself and second that is a stupid reason not to date someone. Not everyone's as fortunate to have a vehicle. I'm 22 and only just got my first car this passed summer and honestly the cost of getting the car was to high a price. The only reason I was even able to afford one was cause my dad passed due to covid and we got a bit of money so my mom used it to buy me and my brother a car or else we would've had so many issues. But this day and age with Uber and Lyft and for something like dating a car as a requirement is just dumb. Man or woman doesn't matter which is asking.
Uhm, trying to find a reason of why someone might do that for such a reason and I came up with a theory.
They probably endured for a while, but got bored and annoyed of acting as your personal taxi driver whenever you need to move around.
I do believe that if you had a boyfriend you'd ask him to drag you around rather than your parents.A woman can reject you for a number of reasons. Not all guys opening line is" i have a car" but if it does come up in conversation just be honest. I never say what i have because id rather pull it out when i need to use it, weather its a car or watch.
Not by a crush no,
but I once when dating I borrowed my ex wife’s car, some small thing lol
my date pretty much turned her nose up not at me, but ‘my’ car lol.
she did not return any calls etc, so thought pot with it.
then she saw me in my actual car lol, and started showing interest lolYes. And I lived in a city that didn't require a car whatsoever and had $200-250 a month auto insurance rates. It was stupid to own a car there unless you had a family. Meaning, the girls who rejected men for such a reason were stupid.
I've always had a car and even a BMW in recent years but it's never done me any favors with charming women. This generation doesn't see cars as such big deal anymore
As far as I am aware up to this moment I have never had anybody that has had a crush on me and at the same time I have never truly had a crush on someone else despite not having a car.
I have no intrest in owning car and probably never will own one. So i'll be glad i would dodge all the people who would be that weird.
The question you SHOULD be asking me is “Have you ever been crushed by a car because you don’t reject?”
I rejected guys when I was in high school for not having a car. But that’s only because I didn’t have a car and there was barely any where to go have sex or make out. So if u was trying to hit u better have a car back then.
Yea when I was younger I didn’t have mommy and daddy money so it wasn’t until I was 19 that I finally had a car also reject as in date hooking up was for some reason still ok
I've been rejected by A lot of women. Before I had a car and after I had a car. Before I had my own place and after I had my own place. I had one woman reject me because of the type of car I drove
Nope. Not even by my then 16 year old girlfriend who did have a car and license when I was 15. Granted once I turned 16 I too was licensed and had wheels.
No. I never tried and so there is no question of rejection also.
How do you know that's why they rejected you? lol and if someone rejects me cause of that then screw them anyways.
It hasn't happened to me but equally I haven't tried dating since I would have been eligible to drive not that I can due to my health
Nope. Not once, but if there's one thing I can say for my country it is that we aren't shallow like that here.
I have owned a car most of my life but I could see the difficulty in having my mother drive me around on dates at my age.
No, it would be really offending and then not a good idea to stay with that kind of people
Never. But I've also always had a car since I got my permit at 15.
