Ladies, is having a small apartment worth it?

Yes, there's lots you can do to make an apartment nice.

I would rather date a guy who lives in a small apartment than a guy who lives with his parents.

My name is George. I’m unemployed and I live with my parents.

you know what to do

So now you call it an "apartment"? That's weird, I've heard "johnson", "schlong" and all those other names, but never "apartment".

Please keep in mind that ladies do not like it small or cheap. Big, rich, and beefy is the way I like to roll.

Definitely agree with this 110%.

TH,

Honey we love you but its time to get out. Its just not working. You act like a teenager in angst when you are home. You expect us to pick up after you and complain when we "nag" you about helping out arond the house. You don't contribute financially and when you do buy food you feel like it shouldn't be touched by anyone else in the house.

Also with you around all the time you dad is getting annoyed that we don't get enough "private time" (you know what that means right) and that makes him cranky.

Honey get out,

love,

mommy

I'm still at home and I'm 32. It doesn't bother the chicks at all. Just go to their place or wait till mom and dad are away on vacation.

The question is would you date a guy that was smart enough to live in an uncomfortable situation for a while so that he could save his money for a good long term investment like a house? Paying rent on an apartment would help with the ladies in the short term but it isn't a very good investment and delaying gratification is a sign of maturity. Really it depends on how old you are though. If you are 32 like the one guy above me, ignore what I just said and cut the umbilical cord already.

My cousin is 30 and doesn't have a degree or driver's license. He lives at home with his mom (father is dead) and he has a job as a secretary. But he gets dates with nice ladies because he's confident. I don't how long this will last though. He better find somebody soon. Just make sure you're actually saving money. You're making somebody else rich by renting.

Do you really want to date a girl that chooses her guys based on their apartments?

I'm dating someone who has a small apartment. His apartment isn't why I'm dating him. He's a good person and we have a lot of common interests. If a woman only likes you for your apartment, are you really sure she's someone you want to date?

And when I say nice ladies, I mean girls who should be out of his league. They are very pretty. I think the big thing is that he's very social and has built and kept a large network of friends. It's all about confidence.

I've never lived with my parents and would never date a guy that did. I don't get it. Even if he's living in a dive? Yes. I don't get that though. I've never made a million bucks or anything but still had enough money for rent and to save for the future. A guy with a roommate would be better than one living with his mother. There are so many red flags in that situation, I won't even go there.

yea, its not a huge issue. If your in your mid 20s or lower, I would just live at home. I have a nice condo but I don't get laid and women don't give a shit about where I live. But if it helps your confidence to have your own apartment, then do it. Otherwise stay at home.

You've never lived with your parents? Were you an orphan? Are you looking for another orphan to date or something?!

Wait, wait! I think I've got it now. You're an orphan, and you are looking for a man who has never lived with YOUR real parents. That's smart, because that man would probably be your brother or something.

Yes there are disadvantages but I travel a great deal for my job and I have saved a ton of $$$$ living at home. When the right girl comes along I'll have a huge down payment for a new home.

My mom and dad are very easy to live with. My mom doesn't mind doing cooking and laundry for me either. I have more time for running and playing other sports.

Its a good deal.

My fiance lives with his parents in a pretty awesome house in the country by the water. They grow food in a garden and you can see the sunsets over the water. It's 2800sf, so it's not super huge. He said he'd like to keep it in the family because they've owned it since the 70s. He did move out for college and a little while after. So I don't think it should matter too much.

Exactly!! People think there is something wrong with you when you live at home and are over 30 but that's not the case. Its just a financially smart thing to do.

I have had girlfriends who didn't mind. Some girls do make a face when they find out you still are at home but who needs that type anyway.

If the right girl does not come along I will live with my parents forever. They like it and so do I. So I don't care what anybody else thinks.

When I do find the right girl, then I'll leave.
