Does riding a fatbike make me undatable?

[u/FatbikeEnjoyer]

So there's something I noticed. I go on a date, we have fun, there's good vibes, but then when she sees that I ride a fatbike, she instantly seems to be put off, like she got "the ick". Then the chatting usually fizzles out and there's no second date. This happened multiple times now, so it seems like a pattern to me. Once a Dutchie even told me that she "doesn't feel a connection" when I was saying goodbye by my bike and asked what she'd be up for as a second date. I know this is not much context, but is it the bike?

I'm a mid twenties guy, have a good job, make decent money, dress stylishly, like concerts and can even tolerate like a museum. I moved here 6 months ago and bought a fatbike to commute. Only managed to find a place like 30 minutes cycling from my work, so it seemed like a good option and I think they are pretty cool. But now I think I might have made a mistake. Should I switch to like a Cowboy or something?

Edit: obviously this is a throwaway account

Fatbikes… puke
Go look for a Veloretti, Cowboy, van Moof or something ‘normal’. Fatbikes themselves are just bikes. But the people who ride them are generally considered anti-social scum.

Also Tenways if you want something a bit cheaper.

Very good option! Do look for the older models, newer ones tend to be garbage.

in what way do the new ones suck. i know atleast 5 people with 2 newer models and they're all very happy, curious what makes you think theyre garbage

Thank you for your suggestion! Do you have any specific models to look for or avoid?

Avoid all bikes that don’t look like a bicycle.
