Think of their fit asses. Not fatties who do everything by car. ;)

depends on the reason why the guy is not driving. some popular reasons that i'd came across:

* that guy's a die hard environmentalist
* health/safety reasons like colorblindness, epliepsy
* some want to save money on other goals like buying a house, overseas travel, kids' education, etc.
* bad traffic, makes sense to ride on public transport
* that guy's under-confident to control a car

they are all valid reasons and are fine by me :) although some people i know tend to associate them with "men of principles" and "men living in their own world" hence weird, difficult, or un-cool, which is bad generalisation, i think.

hence a similar question: what do you think of guys who drive cheapest cars money can buy vs guys won't drive anything less than mercs and jags?

As soon as my husband starts taking about cars I pretend to nod off and it drives him nuts :lol:

If he couldn't have driven when we met it probably wouldn't have made any difference but it does add a little extra something knowing that he is in control behind the wheel......on the flip side though I do value my driving independence.
