Can you explain to me exactly why being able to drive is considered so important to the sexual market when I can get by just fine with ubers?

It’s not just knowing how to drive, it’s also having a car. It just does.

It stems from usually either teenagers or bums need to rely on Uber. You need to learn how to drive. It’s a turn off if you don’t. It implies you’re low value

It’ll also help I mean let’s say you’re talking to a girl and she wants you to see her now. It’s a lot faster to hop in your car and drive instead of having to Uber everywhere.

As for your friend - nothing you or I can do will help him. He has to want to change himself. If nothing else, he should look into a life coach.

And awkwardness, that’s only in your head. Practice makes perfect just like anything else, you’ll get more comfortable. I’m not a speech therapist so I can’t help you there, but maybe consider seeking out a professional if that’s something that bothers you
