WHAT!!!!

I live alone/own my own condo and I have never gotten to do the pros....

Thanks for reminding me NS1 :|

You've never masturbated in the doorway? I do that shit before I sign the lease!

Yeah that's a must during the initial walk through with the landlord. In fact, when you are going around checking off what's wrong with the place you need to specify which places in the apt are bad to fap in. I think there's a special field on the sheet that should be labeled appropriately. If I had my own place I'd have a hamper next to my front door and I'd spend the whole time naked. My cock would be out 100% of the time.

Am I the only one with a chub?

Wha? 60" Plasma TV and you live with your parents?

Sounds sad to me.


I have my own suite and I do pay then a little each month so technically I don't live 'with my parents' as much as we simply share a roof.

Fixed.

yeah my sister rents by herself. in many other places, she could easily have a house for the same price as her rent (location FTL). she likes not having to deal with roommates, though.

I live alone in a basement suite.

Pros:
Eat, sleep, game, etc. whenever you feel like it without bothering roomies
Bring girls over without bothering roomies

Cons:
More expensive
Can be lonely

I agree..

The lonely part can get to you. I've had roommates everytime I've been on my own. I recently moved out to the city (45 minutes from home), by myself, and I admit, I don't know anybody out here and its not very easy to get people to drive 45 minutes, fight city traffic and look for parking spots, just to hang out for an hour or too.

I've been bringing girls by every now and then, but even still none are the kind I want to hang out with constantly.

I do that but their 'friends' want them back after a few hours. I can't afford them much longer anyway.

it's nice... I was with you on steps 1-3, but then I kicked my roommate out and never looked back.

that first month that I was living alone for the first time ever in my life, I made a practice of just walking around naked in the apartment for the hell of it 😛 (fortunately, I lived on the top floor on the highest building on my block, so it wasn't as if anyone could look in on my apartment unless I was standing right next to the windows)

That's why you do naked calisthenics right next to the window, just in case somebody's watching.
 
It's great! You can do anything you want, watch whatever channel you want, bring chics home, use the bathroom/shower when you want. I never did like having a roommate and haven't had one since like sophomore year of college.

Less drama, more fun, more sex, more freedom.

I started dating my wife during step 2. Step 4 was with my soon-to-be wife, her sister and her soon-to-be husband.

I never had a chance.

I did have a few occasions to be in our place alone when my wife traveled for work (before we had kids). I liked for a short time.

Same thing for when I have to live in a hotel for a week or so for work. Nice for a while, but then I turn into HermitMan and start talking to myself (or the TV).

I live by myself in a single bedroom, nice place.

I like it, but when the girlfriend is out of town it can get a bit lonely.

I am in a corporate housing thing, so I'm not paying rent or utilities, so the expense is a non-issue. They even pay my cable / internet and filled the place with good furniture / kitchenware (well, the kitchenware kinda sucks but I feel bad complaining about it). When I leave I will have been in this situation for 15 months.

All in all, not a bad deal.
 
I do not live in an apt right now, I'm married, but I have, and I also have had roomates.

Cliffs: Roomates SUCK ASS.......period.
 
I bought a small flat an year ago and now I live with my brother.
It's really cool because we share the bills but he is my brother so I can do everything I like, is not like sharing a flat with a friend or with someone you don't know very well...
 
I had 2 months alone in an apartment this past summer while I was on business travel. I'm used to having my wife around, so it kind of sucked. The nice part was that the TV was never on Lifetime and I could watch manly movies without her complaining. Apparently, I didn't get the memo that Rambo isn't a date movie.
 
Lived alone last 2.5 years... did the roomie thing about 2 months prior. Never again. Can't stand living with people.

I only had to clean the place like once a month and it stayed spotless, now with my wife it seems like we clean every day.

I couldn't agree more...girls bring a lot of shit with them. We just moved out of our first house...I couldn't freak'n believe how much shit we had in there. We didn't even bring everything along with us (took a large part of the attic and told the renter to leave the stuff alone). As we unpacked our boxes, I've been going through them with a fine tooth comb and throwing out everything that we didn't need. I really hate keeping junk and my wife seems to pick the stuff up like dog hair on a wool sweater.

Wha? 60" Plasma TV and you live with your parents?

Sounds sad to me.


I have my own suite and I do pay then a little each month so technically I don't live 'with my parents' as much as we simply share a roof.


Dude, you live with your parents, no matter how you paint it.

No, Lumathix is correct, ask any independent woman.
