Cheaper than living in the city center. Suburban towns, bedroom communities usually have bars. Being fit generally helps with dating. Maybe not the best look if you're trying to project the image of a "responsible bread winner". However there's nothing irresponsible about the saved money. Grocery stores are abundant. Is the idea of bicycling with groceries impossible, because of media portrayals? I don't see that. Cars are a hassle and expense. Insurance, repairs, fuel and tickets. The opportunity to be pulled over and searched after an alleged traffic infraction. If you want to leave the country and your rental lease it is another item to store.

Don't forget parking! I don't own a car and I agree 100%. I live in a city, though, so it's pretty easy for me to get groceries, go out, stay fit, etc. I guess my experience of suburbia is the sprawl associated with florida, southern california, etc where there are these giant housing communities without a grocery store, gym, or bar for miles. And the ones that are nearby tend to be in chains in strip malls with very little character or personality. Think applebees and planet fitness type places.
