I mean, what if the guy just thinks a car isn't worth it? For dates, he could take a cab or Uber...


When he tallies the monthly car payments, gas, parking, insurance, repairs vs. cabbing perhaps he still thinks it's better off not owning a car?
This would only make sense in a city like NY where you pay a month fee of around $900 for a garage place if I remember right. Other than that, driving around with a cab all the time is way more expensive as having your own car.


And of course you are often unable to go to places without a car. I want to go hiking - I need to pick you up. Ugh. Or do you pick me up in an Uber car? And after hiking we have to walk to an area where we have reception and call the cab and wait an hour until they show up?


Or pick me up to go to the Farmers Market. Does the Uber car wait there? Or follow us slowly around if we walk around?


A car does not determine that a person has money. It means nothing. It just means this person has his/her basic needs covered. Food, shelter, job, car = basic requirements for many.

I don't understand...


Uber is just like a cab and for the most part, you wait 10 minutes tops.



I mean, when you go to a restaurant, often you have to wait in line. When you are at an amusement park, you have to wait in line. when you are buying a ticket at the movies, you have to wait in line. Even when you are at a store buying things, you have to wait in line...




You are willing to wait in line for all those things during the date but not for the date?

No car is a deal breaker in the dating game for LA metro because you need a car to get around this mess.

Kinda. I don't go into a restaurant if I see a line. I don't go to amusement parks and I clearly do not keep waiting around for a guy.


I have sometimes low standards, but I have SOME and waiting for a guy FREQUENTLY because he doesn't think he needs a car and has the nerve to let everybody wait around for him is below my standards.
