This is why men shouldn’t have female roommates.

I get things happen. Roommates at this point in life would be crazy tho.

I just bought a house, like literally closed on it this week. I stay abreast of economic news, interest rates, market volatility, etc and have friends in multiple socio-economic "classes". I paid rent in a city where pre vs post covid rent increased 70% in many areas and house prices damn near doubled. It's not worse than the Lehman shock in '08 (which I had to ride out like a bunch of other people).

The difference for me is I would rather live in fukbush nowhere in a closet and control my own space than live in a 2 bedroom with a friend (or even worse a stranger) who I have to take considerations for.

So because your pride and ego wouldn’t allow you to live with another person who you aren’t fukking, you call other people who choose (or felt the best choice is ) to have roommates immature adults. More power to you on doing it on your own, but save the judgement on others who choose a different path, breh.

I'm speaking as someone who's never had a roommate other than one semester of college. However, that was over 20 years ago.

In your mind, what is the approximate age at which a man is considered "grown" and what type of job/career should they have to allow them to live alone in today's housing market? Where should they live in the mean time?

I'd say 24-25 but 27 max to cover most circumstances.

25 is old enough to have your masters (if you wanted/needed) or plenty of job experience and some sort of trade/degree that allows you to feed, clothe, and shelter yourself. It's old enough to be beyond excuses for bxtch boy behavior (ex. having a rough childhood ain't an excuse for self sabotaging behavior anymore). Its old enough to have the life experience required to start and lead a family. I can't say what type of career someone should have other than at 25:
- You have a strong talent/capability with that skillset
- That skillset should be highly marketable with a strong future for financial growth
- That career/talent/skill should be easily monetized without requiring an upfront cash investment that is greater than the amount you can expect to make in your first 2 years in the skill/talent/career

I know the person in the "example" is only 23, so I'll give him another year or 2.

Grown men shouldn't have roommates, period. Male or female.

if you living with your partner that's one thing. Needing another person so you can maintain a roof over your head? That's someone that's still working on adulting properly.

You do know you can have roommates and not need them to survive right?

I'm assuming she is attractive. I'd rather fukk my female roommate than hire a sex worker. Cause if it's fire I can fukk atleast 4 times a month....especially on the 1st.

 

[hood b. goode]

I had a female roommate once and she needed money. I suggested onlyfans. She never mentioned money to me again.

It's pride and ego to want my own space? I'd call it peace of mind and security. My opinion is that if you NEED a roommate to make the rent then you aren't self sustaining because you aren't reliant solely on self.

If that opinion bothers you (and it's okay if it does) that's between you and your therapist.

This is a fair point. I've got a homeboy who owns a 5 bd and he rents 3 of the bedrooms out to people and basically has them paying the mortgage and then some. He's profiting on a house he owns, that's a win. He's also let everyone's lease expire and lived in the house solo, because he can swing the mortgage with no issue.

I'm talking about people NEEDING roommates not adulting properly.

This is a fair point and a good call out. I've got a homeboy who owns a 5 bd and he rents 3 of the bedrooms out to people and basically has them paying the mortgage and then some.

I should've been more clear about people who have roommates because they have to instead of those with roommates as a revenue stream.

Breh, if you really want to go down this path, we can easily say that no one is self sustaining unless they are a self employed person who owns their own property free and clear. I don’t even necessarily disagree with your entire take completely, I just think the notion that people who live with roommates are somewhat immature to be a rather odd and outdated take, as there are nuances as to why people have roommates.

More power to you and your come up though.

This individualism is really just an American thing. Everybody else besides countries that wanna be like us believe in community. What better way to maximize the gains from capitalism then individualism… “move out at 18” “don’t have roommates” “sign for this student loan(even though you just got out of HS)” this shyt really predatory and baked into American society. I won’t be shocked to see the collapse of our society very soon.

Edit: Yeah I kinda deviated from the topic lol. I promise I’m good though.
