Forward yourself years later, when high school is long gone. You could argue that the a guy having a car still matters – but I guess the car should be a ‘nice’ one by now.

Say, however, you live in a place like downtown Toronto, where many ‘downtowners’ don’t have a car. It simply doesn’t make sense to own a car a lot of the time as you can simply walk to do what you want to do — or jump on the streetcar or subway.

I live in downtown Toronto and am selling my car. The only reason I ever bought one was for a job in the 905 (where transit is pretty sketch at best – in most places). I told my co-worker I was selling my car. First reaction was something like, “You need a car for the ladies.” i.e. Girls want a guy with a car. How else will you pick them up to go out? The car adorned with the ‘ZipCar’ logo may not be all that slick, I guess.

I tried to explain how for those of us who live downtown this isn’t really a big deal. We get around via our feet and transit. We live near things like great restaurants and bars and cultural events.

That all said, would a woman who lives downtown have any hesitation dating a guy who doesn’t have a car? Please provide your perspective in the comments below. Thanks!

HowAboutWe allows people to be creative and think up unique things to do on a first date. With that in mind, below is how *not* to use HowAboutWe:

Ummm… you see, those ‘different and exciting’ things – stating what they are is the whole point. The above is a current date ‘idea’ by a woman in Toronto.

The ‘apology’ is, of course, total bullshit as they’ve been continuing with the practice for ages and giving people the total run around once they requested refunds. Either way, it seems the practice has been stopped. Anyone have experiences with the ‘new’ iChurch.com? Please comment below. Oh, and if you’re some how thinking about giving iChurch.com some of your hard earned money now that they’ve ‘reformed’ — I’d say please don’t. These crooks don’t deserve your money.
