OTOH, if a guy is resourceful, and self-reliant, and doesn't have a car on principle but doesn't need one, that's a different situation. I'm thinking of some of my permaculture acquaintances who are 100% in it. I can respect that. I can't muster as much respect for people who find it convenient to "allow" other people to provide for them while they shun the very things they gladly accept--when it suits them. I've known a few of those people, too.
