First bloke with car I went out with was also best shag.

expatinscotland · 30/09/2008 15:01

no, he wasn't a veggie.

he respected veggies, however.

and he could drive a manual car and parallel park an estate vehicle in a very tight spot.

otherwise, erm, no, i wouldn't have been attracted.

man who can't drive is not for me.

My DH can't drive. He used to drive until his insurance company fucked up and he go caught driving with "no insurance" (by accident - he thought he was covered) and lost his driving licence. He can re-do his test etc but we simply can't afford it right now.

There are times when it is annoying, but most of the time it doesn't matter, and it saves us a lot of money. He works down the road so he walks in and its only the off occasion I need to give him a lift.

My mate just got engaged to a guy who can't drive.

He travels on a scooter.

Threadwworm · 30/09/2008 15:01

It's not that he is in touch with his feminine side. It's that he can't find his bloody masculine side either. He can't do anything on ggirl's list.

DrNortherner · 30/09/2008 15:02

A proper scooter that is, not a silver push with your leg type scooter our kids have.

lavenderbongo · 30/09/2008 15:02

My DH cant drive either - it does annoy me but he has other far more important attributes

My dh drives an HUUUUUUGE artic lorry - something really masculine about it me thinks(or am I just easy pleased?)

And he can parallel park with what seems like less than an inch either side!

frazzledfairy · 30/09/2008 15:07

my dh can't drive and he is imo verrrry attractive

until a year ago neither of us could drive, it was a concious decision to be as enviromentally friendly as poss. we decided when i was pg with no 3 that 3 kids on public transport would be a nightmare so i learnt to drive, we could only afford for one of us to learn, and it seemed more sensible for it to be me (getting about with kids during day etc).

be bikes everywhere and has a reet firm bot, definately not unattractive

UnquietDad · 30/09/2008 15:08

What's all his about? What's "the type" who doesn't want to learn to drive? You'd prefer some macho wanker whose car is an extension of his dick and tears around country lanes at 70mph, I assume?

What fucking decade are you people living in?

Mercy · 30/09/2008 15:09

My friend's dh can't drive but he'd love to go shopping with you.

He manages to take his 3 dc everywhere (but admittedly this is in London)

Mercy · 30/09/2008 15:11

Indeed UQ.

Perhaps you should start a thread about women drivers or something!

Oliveoil · 30/09/2008 15:11

I think UnquietDad can't drive and we have hit a nerve....

UnquietDad · 30/09/2008 15:11

Arm over the headrest looking masterful indeed. What a vacuous load of stereotypical giggly car-worshipping SHIT.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 30/09/2008 15:11

Someone being good at anything is attractive (practically anything). What is really unattractive is men who are really aggressive and useless drivers and when they crash into things or get speeding tickets, insist it's someone else's fault.

Oliveoil · 30/09/2008 15:12

oh go and polish your scooter

I shall remember, and cite, this thread the next time one of you vacuous gigglers moans about the big evil nasty men cutting them up on the road, or parking in the wrong place, or basically doing anything in a car.
