ive been living without a car on my own for 9 years now. The biggest thing about not having a car is the culture expects it, so youre mildly judged for not having/using one. That impact is bigger when dating too.

Feels very different in Australia. When I tell people I don’t have a car, the general response is something like “yeah good idea, wish I didn’t need mine”

I can believe the dating part but that can be covered by having and not using, if you really needed to.

Apparently to impress the lady-types.

What is the dating culture in the US around this? I’d have thought you’d have an easy time trying to play it as you being very environmentally conscious an in touch with society to impress the more progressive types rather than “I can’t afford a car”

Turns out what people say and how people behave are often very different.
