Canadians looking to impress on their next romantic date might want to stay clear of on-demand car services, taxis or even public transit, according to the findings of a recent autoTRADER.ca survey that explores the role of the automobile in modern-day dating. In fact, a whopping 92 percent of Canadians say they find it appealing when their date shows up with their own ride. And don't even think about "borrowing the car" for the occasion – close to half of the population surveyed (48 percent) reported that they would find a borrowed vehicle unattractive or "embarrassing beyond words."
While it is unsurprising a publication called Autotrader would find car ownership is necessary for romance, do the study's claims track? Do today's humans really prefer being picked up for a date by someone who owns a car? Is being picked up on a motorcycle really the least attractive?

There is a subset who like fat chicks.
If ugly is the criterion, however, I think that that needs a different verb.

I'd think that a gal that is "plain" or has "unremarkable looks" might be a choice (with offsetting values like that she has a valuable skillset e.g. high earner, good cook, knows how to make money go a long way).
...but to pair off with a gal who is actually ugly requires a peculiar kind of guy.
