If you were a girl, would you go on a date--on public transportation, mind you--with this man?

Depends on how he sits. If he leans to the left then his wallet is full of money and credit cards.
If he picks you up in a cab and takes you to a 4 star restaurant and then a Broadway show, brings you home with a kiss on the cheek ---- possibly.
Sends you a hand written note thanking you for the lovely evening, and an invite to a new art exhibit or the concert that has been sold out for months -----why not.
Depends on what you want in life. Now if he was the owner of a gas station inviting someone to out for a few brews-------NO---- But you never know he could be head man in the Unions sewer inspectors that pulls in big bucks. He may smell at times but so does all that lovely money he brings home each week.
