I was talking about guys having a car on a date! I mean, at least back in 2001, it was very normal for a girl to expect to be driven by a guy while on a date with him.
Why??
It was "very normal" for girls to "expect" to be driven?
Last I checked in 2001 the driving age was the same for guys and girls.
Access to parents' cars was the same for guys and girls.
Access to part-time jobs for buying gas, insurance, etc. was equal too.
Given this, why weren't guys upset if girls didn't drive them around on dates?
I started driving in the 1980s in high school.
I've dated for 40 years.
I can't think of a time I ever "expected" a guy to pick me up.
In fact I likely drove more than they did, so they could have a drink.
My son and daughter had equal access to my car at that age as well.

Again, what's up with the sexism?
Girls who aren't gold diggers are "rare gems" ?
