7 Reasons Why You Should Date A Biker Chic
In the hierarchy of feminine badasses, we are up there
1. Biker chics travel light
Women pack too many clothes for vacation. Yet science has proven that all a girl needs for any vacation fits into a tank-bag. A tire pressure gauge, a bikini, a little black dress, heels, sunscreen, lip gloss and mascara. And, don’t forget a toothbrush. Biker chics know this. No bulk bags packed with essentials like clean underwear and shampoo. Not on this road trip. Chances are, we’ve got a cool tank bag that doubles up as a stylish purse anyway.
2. We can withstand adversity like a pro
We endure extreme weather and extreme living conditions — all the time. Bad roads, landslides, icy roads and sometimes, no roads. Bugs in our helmets and road rash from a fall. We have been through the fire. We keep going through busted tires and minor pitfalls. You name it and we can take care of it.
3. Biker chics are a cheap date
We are a cheap date. No five-star restaurants and endless cutlery for us. Forget the expensive martinis and bubbly. We are good with a pizza and a beer at the races. But our dream date involves a long ride on a twisty road with a bunch of riders. Days spent leaning so close to the tarmac, pieces start grinding off our bikes. Lunch will be at that place where they bake their bread and the locals call the chef Mike. Money is best spent on bike gear and a full tank. Not on menu items we can’t pronounce.
4. Your dates will be hotter
Candlelit dinner is good,{or not} but a date under the stars is always better. Be prepared to go for rides at odd hours to odd places. To spread a mat out in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes, you’ll wake up in the mountains and have dinner at the beach. Spontaneity runs in our blood. The only thing standing between us and the next stop is the open road.
5. Crazy Ex-Girlfriends Are Afraid Of Us.
Wanna know the fastest way to get rid of your nut job ex? Show up holding hands with some girl who’s clutching a helmet on the other hand. In an instance, the stalking days are over. Doesn’t matter what your new girl rides. Your ex would not know the difference. The days of camping out on your porch waiting for you to come home will stop. Your new girl could be the owner of a pearl pink Vespa, but all that the psycho sees is biker-chic.
In the hierarchy of feminine badasses, we are sort of up there.
6. We always have a Plan B
We always and I mean always have a contingency plan for every situation.
You have to be well-trained to ride for long hours. This means we have everything mapped out beforehand.
Bad weather or bad roads, ill-timed breakdowns and bee stings. Runny stomachs in tight leather gear. We got this. Nothing catches us off guard.
7. We’re not the clingy type
We won’t text message you every couple hours. Or spend hours scrolling your Instagram feed to see what you are up to. We are too busy riding and exploring the great outdoors. When we aren’t out on the road, we are working to finance our lifestyle.
We won’t call you to moan about our bitchy colleagues. Or the promotion we missed at work. We don’t care if your workmate wears killer heels and laughs at all your jokes. We noticed the cashier flirting with you, but it only confirmed how hot you are. And no, we won’t get icy. Neither will we ignore your calls for the next three days.
Biker chics are independent. And self-reliant. We have our own lives within the relationship. We kept our hobbies, friends and plans when we met you.
We still work out, read, bake and write. Our hobbies are still significant; every minute away from you is well spent.
It’s what makes us so cool.
