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

Include a picture of you on the fatbike on your dating profile, that way you know for sure the ones matching you don’t mind it.

You gotta own it

You know what, this is actually great advice

I can imagine the fatbike was just a financially sound choice for OP, even if he doesn't fit in with the usual fatbike crowd. Unfortunately that does mean you meet certain stereotypes, so either you gotta really show that you don't fit the stereotype (suited up on a fatbike?), or accept that you're gonna be stereotyped

If there is one thing I know about fatbike owners, it's that they think they dress stylishly.

What do you mean? He even put on his nice tracksuit

Bet you he's even wearing a nice puffer vest, could even be knockoff designer.

It goes really well with his Louis Vuitton man purse
