Or maybe the question means something else that I am unaware of? Women tend to ask "do you like to travel?"


is there a guy out there that would really say No? LOL Or are they asking for some other reason? My answer has been

"Sure If I have the time and money". Someone help me please lol

My answer is no unless I have the time and someone else (independent of me and my family) has the money.

The next best thing to receiving money is spending someone else's.

Travel: Lines, security, lines, overpriced, out of element, disrupted sleep, lines, missed expectations, dirty, change of times zones, lines, interruptions, stress, disappointments, bugs, lines, impersonal employees, hot, inconveniences, cold, boring, hassles.

With the internet, I can see in high res so many places from the comfort of my own chair in my home. In fact, rather than see the famous things in Europe for example, I'd rather see the neighborhood streets, stores, cars, people, cafes, farms, etc...which I can easily do in high res using google street view - and would be very difficult to do in person.

Museums: Almost obsolete.

Sitting on a beach? For $3000 for a week? No thanks.

There are almost no instances where I can see spending money on a vacation that I would be more satisfied than spending HALF as much on something around the house or investing it:

Some people are homebodies and some just plain don't like to travel.

I don't mind traveling, i just haven't had many opportunities to travel.

Also, I don't like driving long distances.

Yes, there are lots of guys who don't want to travel, and don't enjoy it when their SO's drag them somewhere.

WPDude, you're going to drive yourself crazy nitpicking all the standard conversation topics people have. Maybe you should just give up and live in a cave. It seems you're not suited for ordinary human company. Simple, basic stuff seems to stress you out. Maybe you need to take up meditation, or something, to mellow out.

Oh ok, I thought it was some kind of trick question LOL. I couldn't travel last year because I was jobless which meant I had the time but no money

No I wasn't stressed just that so many women ask that question and I thought that everyone loves to travel if they have the TIME and MONEY

I was commenting about the bigger picture. Every time a woman asks you a pretty standard question on a date or online, you come running to us complaining about how stupid or weird the questions are. Enough already!

Mainly because I was never asked these questions in 2001/2002/2003


Seems like it started around 2009 and after.

I think it leads to conversation about travel habits. If a guy says he loves to travel but hasn't been anywhere in 5 years - he's not really a traveller...

I go every year, sometimes multiple times. I want someone who likes that kind of travel.
