Girls, Would you date/form a relationship with a guy who never travelled?

[Anonymous]

Let's say he is in his 30s, but he almost never travelled (usually because of finances). However he is willing to do it with you (if he will be able to do it), but he just lacks a travel history.

I wouldn't see any problem with that, that is really one of the last things I could check about a guy to determine his value. Really don't be concerned at all about this, unless the girl you're talking with is particularly really into travelling (like, her main hobby is hiking, biking, exploring new areas every weekend) or has a passion for foreign cultures she discusses very often about. While if she is just an average girl liking to travel (like anyone else), then really forget about this "problem".

You wouldn't be repulsed by his inexperience at travelling?

[quaranta]

Definitely not

I don’t think most women care about such trivial things. I have travelled a lot, and would prefer someone who likes traveling, even road trips are fine.

However, I would not reject a guy just because he has not travelled anywhere. Cost of living is increasing rapidly, so it’s understandable that his finances are tight. In fact, if he is good at managing his money, I would be attracted to him even more. I don’t like men who are impulsive spenders.

There is no way that I would pass up on a great guy just because he has never traveled. That would be foolishness.

I do not view vacation as a status symbol so I do not care if a guy has never been on vacation.

I personally believe it’s kinda shallow to not date or form a relationship based on his travel history. If it’s a preference of yours then by all means continue but it’s his personality that you should be more concerned about. Preferences, we all have them. Just remember he may be a good guy and personality, you two are great together, everything feels right but lacks the travel history is not a good reason to end things with him. He may want to travel or only travel with you but open communication will be the only way you’ll know that.

What? I am the guy who is afraid that my lack of travel history could be a dealbreaker for a girl

[DermalPunch]

I can see where you are coming from with this.

If his lack of travel were due to being xenophobic or closed-minded then yes.

But if he just never had the opportunity or just simply enjoys his country then this wouldn't be a big deal.

Some people can get snooty and elitist about how eorldly they are.

If traveling makes you a snooty person that looks down on others, you've totally missed the point of traveling.

[Asker]

I just didn't have a money and people to do it. It's more that I wasted my youth years because I didn't travel and don't have some experiences and memories. Now I am too old

[DermalPunch]

You are never too old! When I was a lifeguard, there was a lady who used to come in for lane swim.

Without fail, she would tell us how she had gone to China with jer theatre group. And then she would add, and I'm 95 you know. She was really old. Do not let your circumstances define you

If he lacks travel experience it’s not an issue as long as he’s actually willing to travel.
I don’t think I can be with someone who isn’t willing to travel. My job requires me sometimes to relocate and I was pretty straight forward with my partner about it before we got serious.

[Lowiu]

Like I like to travel so being with someone who doesn't like it would be a problem but if its only because he couldnt afford it we maybe could do it together

[Asker]

I am talking about guy who has no travel history, but he is willing to travel with you.

[xCherryKizz]

Not really a problem in my opinion. I'd just take him to travel wif me and show him places he hasn't been to

[singlemombizz]

I would not see any issue with that at all, you'd be his travel guide

[Asker]

I am the guy who is afraid that my lack of travel history could be a dealbreaker for a girl

[singlemombizz]

i haven't been out of state much.. if she's that shallow find a local girl.

[melanieeeB]

Who cares? Lol Him not having a travel history doesn't say anything about him as a person

[SphynxUK]

Who gives a flying fu*k about that sort of stuff. It’s unimportant, and certainly not a red flag.

[TacosRAwesome]

Not that big of a deal as long as he's willing to. I know how to bargain travel.

[Asker]

You wouldn't be repulsed by his inexperience at travelling?

[TacosRAwesome]

No. Unless he doesn't trust my judgement.
