How Old Is Too Old to Have a Roommate?

Take it from the ORIGINAL dating coach — you DON’T need any “pickup lines” or canned material to EFFORTLESSLY attract any woman you want. Watch this free video now to learn what the “pickup artists” & “seduction gurus” don’t want you to know…

So, Shogo inspired a blog the other day. He inspires a blog all the fuc@#$@# time, according to Shogo. (That’s a direct quote from him right next to me-but then he really does inspire blogs all the fuc@!#$% time. So give him some credit.) But he definitely inspired this blog.

How old is too old to have a roommate?

How old is too old to be sharing a sofa with your roommate watching TV?

At what age should you no longer be shopping with another man for furniture? To be sharing the same big screen television?

How old is too old to have to take turns cleaning another man’s toilet?

How old is too old to have to leave your apartment on a Friday night because your roommate has a hot date who he wants to cook dinner for without you around?

How old is too old for you to have a roommate, just because you want to live in the middle of the bustling city when you can really live five or ten minutes away and get a place to yourself?

I want to hear from all the women out there today.

How attractive do you find a man when you go back to his house and his roommate is laying there on the sofa on a Friday night with his hand buried knuckle-deep into his ball socket sitting there in his boxers watching television?

Or when you walk into a man’s apartment for the very first time and his roommate is there playing XBox with three other guys, drinking canned beer where one of them happens to be sitting on the lawn chair dragged in from the patio because they had no extra chairs?

How old is too old to have a roommate and when is it time to grow up and live on your own?

Forget about how old is too old to be living with your parents…that’s a whole other blog.

Love this great ad copy and just shows that people will believe anything. Thanks Jamie for posting this earlier. Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him. I'm a 25-year-old professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City. That's right! What you know about experience? I graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and moved to NYC at the ripe, tender age of 22. After deciding that New York was a stinky shit-hole, I moved back to Alabama to cultivate more professional experience. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post shit like this on Craigslist. Anyway, so I landed this job with a marketing firm in San Francisco, and I have no fucking clue where to live. Honestly, I'm moving there in 3 weeks, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub. A bit about me: I'm respectful, quiet, clean and I won't bother any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine." I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you. That's right! My dad is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking southern cajun cuisine. I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off. I also read a lot. I fucking LOVE books. Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Hawthorne. All that shit. I read Tuesdays with Morrie the other day. It's a sad story, but I learned something about life, love, knowledge and the pursuit of something greater than myself. Fucking smart. Do you like movies? I fucking love them. We can watch the shit out of some movies together if you like, or go get drinks, or work out, hike, play video games or play a game of one-on-one basketball, or I don't have to talk to you at all. It's completely UP TO YOU! Sometimes I play guitar. Are you going to love getting baked and listening to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd? LIVE? WHENEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT? Of course you are! I'll take requests and learn any song you like, because I have the voice of an angel and the acoustical stylings of James Fucking Taylor. AWWWWWW SHIT YEA! A lot of people ask me, "Hey, you're from Alabama. Are you racist?" And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all. I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE. That's the only requirement to being a secular humanist actually. You have to like other human beings and want to help them for no other reason than they are human regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. WTF?!!!? Pretty fucking cool right? I own almost nothing! I'm driving my car from Alabama to California in which I'll be transporting two duffelbags of clothes, one laptop computer, one guitar, one cell-phone with charger, 8 pairs of shoes, one picture frame, probably some condoms and a shitload of beef jerky and Pringles for the trip. Though, you can expect the jerky to be gone upon my arrival. Unless you'd like me to pick up some on my way into the city. See?! I'm the most considerate person you've ever met. I'm offering to buy you shit already! Am I interested in your pad? You can bet my nomadic ass I am! I only require 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor to shelter me from the elements. Other than that, anything else will be considered a convenient plus. I'm taking being a roommate to the next level. Email me! I'll hook yo ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of karate trophies and a list of the top 10 women I'd like to bang before I die. If you want a next-generation roommate who consistently blows your fucking mind with awesomeness, then hit me up. I'm ready to give you money. EDIT: Craigslist decided to hook my shit back up, and I'm tweeting now. Follow me. Or don't. It's up to you.

Jamie, thanks for the laugh, that was hilarious! May or may not have a roommate later this year guys, I'll keep you updated... I always liked living with other people. Makes things fun and creative. I've lived solo in several apartments too. Just a different feel to it, if you're a single guy both have their pluses and minuses. And concerning women and dating, I've never noticed a difference whether I had a roommate or not. Again, as long as you're decently put together and presentable, a woman will be into you for who you are as a person and that's pretty much it.

For me, it really depends. I mean, Dr. House lives with Wison, right? But in real life, living with a roommate will extend my obervation period a little longer, if you are older than 33.

Maybe the women will disagree with me, but in my mind, there's a difference between packing four guys into a POS apartment and two guys splitting a higher quality one and keeping it clean and furnished like adults live there.

hi

Friday, August 16th, 2013

right. i am a female with two male roommates. we live in a house with a beautiful veggie garden, fruit trees, a pool, hottub, and firepit. none of us are married and so buying (or renting) a house for ourselves would be overly expensive and getting a one bedroom or studio apartment would be more expensive and less fun. it depends on the situtation., i think it is smart to have roommates while you are single to save money which you can use to invest for the future. We shouldn't have to wait till marriage to be able to split the rent.

Tom

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I honestly never had roommates, I got my own dorm in college, then after I dropped out of college, I went home to mom for a year. and ever since have been paying my own bills and living on my own. I like to keep my house ran my way, so it benefits me. I don't want to live with a pig or something, and it could get real complicated when you have to do things half and half, like pay the bills half and half. that's how everyone is these days, they want to have roommates and party. but not me, I like my own living, I'm a private person.

Intern Dan

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

@JOHN C Totally agree. It depends on your station in life too. I'm a student and can't afford not living with people. My roommates are awesome though so that helps. I'm really curious about what the lovely ladies here will say.

The Charming Chef

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

@Collins, I think that's it. In your 20s, it's standard to have a roommate splitting a nice 2 bedroom, but it does interfere if you bring a girl over to watch a movie or make dinner. A 1-bedroom is expensive all over LA, but I think it's worth it if you can afford it. Studios can work, but they feel a bit cramped. The main thing is that you need a private, secluded place to bring a woman, otherwise it's hard for her to relax and get comfy for when you light some candles and put on some Marvin Gaye. (kidding...kind of...)

I personally prefer a man to live alone rather than have a roommate. But like Shogo, I've also lived in New York City before so I understand how most people live. I had two roommates until age 32. My boyfriend at the time who was a graphic designer in Manhattan also lived in a 2 bedroom apartment with another man. We got along fine even with the roommates.

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I think David brought up a good point......Centrally located awesome apt with roomate vs solo off the beaten path apt......I personally would go a carefully selected roomate situation

john

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I agree with pretty much everybody. It's one thing to be have a roommate where rent is cheap and home values are low. It's a whole other story to have a roomate in a place like NY city. If you're not married, or you have a RIDICULOUS income, I don't see how you can get by without a roommate. I was really shocked by the rent prices you guys were telling me about. I always knew they were high, but jeez.

Let's play 4's company & switch things up, call me Jackie ;) I'm with John C about their situation in life. Hmm... moved out on my own @ 18, had cpl female roommates, a husband, & my bro as a roommate. For the most part at least with these particular people, the girls respected the need for a clean apt & keeping the toilet seat down, but one stole from me & the other tried deception games with my family & friends, that was not cool. When things were good my now X, made it worthwhile in bed to clean up some of his mess. My bro is a character & at the time not very respectful bout cleaning duties, but he knows how to make me laugh so hard it hurts. When sharing an apt with my bro, not so unusual to walk past living room & see his buddy passed out on couch. I didn't care as long as they cleaned up after themselves. Towards end when he was itching to be on his own, he was a little Hitler. Now we each have our own place & cool again. My observation- If a guy is seriously in a marriage frame of mind then he is working towards getting some place on his own one day. That could be a nest egg, working on increasing credit rating, going to college to get something more established. Guy may not have to have his own place, but be ready to look for one, when time is right with a woman. Besides, I kinda like when a guy had the roommate experience & isn't so Type A about EVERYTHING being his way & just so. I like go with the flow personality better. I'm more at ease around that person, not walkin on egg shells.

Mel

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Quite the ad Jamie... his claims of being so well read cracked me up, as he seemed to prefer 2 cuss words as adjectives rather than the plethora of possible synonyms available. Maybe his future roommate will be a sailor... Heard there's a lot of those in San Fran. :b

Johnny

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Women would probably prefer that a guy live on his own instead of having roommates. But I don't think it would be a big deal if he does have roommates just as long as they take care of the place and keep it nice and tidy. Hmm, can't really say when is it too old to have a roommate. That's a real tough one. David has brought up a real good point. Any ideas peoples?

John C

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Do you guys usually go with close friends, friends of friends, or total strangers when selecting a living situation? Just curious......

john

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

ok,, I would say if you live in a place where the cost of living is cheap,, then 25 is about the limit on a roomate. In a place like NY, then whenever you either get married, or make a huge salary. thoughts?

Jack Stoner

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Man, forget what women think.. HBH all day. Homies before Hoes!! My roommates come before the women I date. I'm 28 and live with 2 of my close friends. We all just chill, smoke weed, eat.. it doesn't matter if we're a little sloppy, play PS3 and watch netflix all day. If the girl has a problem with that OR my roommates, that's her problem not mine. You can't just change the way you're living just for girls, come on guys that's weak.

Mel

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

All depends on situation... once after staying overnight 1st time at guy's place he proceeds to open bedroom door & walk to bathroom naked. Seems like no big deal, except he shared place with his bro & I was naked on the bed in view from hallway. It was a WTF moment, like can I get some respect & privacy here? It was as if he wanted his bro to see me, for some kind of bragging rights. Ridiculous

Thomas

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I think past 24 or 25ish is probably getting a little up there. Don't be surprised if after that people start raising their eyebrows a little. I cannot imagine how annoying it is for a girl to go home with a dude and see a bunch of guys on the couch chillin out. Guys, if your past a certain age you need to just grow up and live on your own. It will affect your dating life at some point if you don't.

David S.

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I believe once someone hits 30 they should be on their own and settling down. Your twenties are the time for roommates and developing your career (not to say you can't develop one later in life). Once you have your career developed it's time to focus on the other aspects of your life such as marriage and kids. And if you want to settle down with a great girl I think it would be better to have your place where you two can come together and make your own and start developing your life together.

Mel

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I dunno if I could say any particular age. Circumstances & other stuff in life changes. It seems, often that guys close friend/roommate base tapers off as his buddies get live in GFs or married or move. So it seems to be a natural cycle... ironically sometimes divorce is part of the cycle & that can necessitate a new living situation with a roommate or family for a bit. Life happens & I bet there are some old widowed dudes in retirement homes that are roommates & play chess instead of video games. So, can an age really be put on it? If we end up living to be old & decrepit enough for a nursing home, we may all have a roommate when we die :b

I'm 32 and been living alone for over a year, I've only just decided that it's time to forget about finding a smaller place or a room mate. I don't live lavishly, but having the space to live my life how I want to is justifiably rewarding. As an entrepreneur, sometimes I have a lot on - I don't want to clean and I don't want to party, and I don't want it to be an issue with somebody else in my space.

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

David, I have a question for you, since you said that everyone Doesn't have to be a wannabe, can I ask why I cannot be a singer? it's impossible, therefore those dreams are over. I don't have the ability to sing. Also in my eyes, you should start having your own place by age 30

Joss

Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Tom - Have you done anything to work towards becoming a singer? Like taken singing classes?

Mel

Friday, August 26th, 2011

Observation- I've noticed situation where one or both roommates is a homebody or bit antisocial & it can negatively impact both roommates social lives. I've seen guys get complacent, where they like their movie/video game comfort zone while sharing that with their roommate & they don't get out to meet people or try new things. It's like complacent quicksand that sucks them deeper into an agoraphobic state of mind. When one roommate wants to go out the other gets clingy & needy. Big thing to avoid in roommate situations is socially suffocating your roommate or complacent about meeting new people & making new friends.

Tom

Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Joss singing lessons don't work, you have to be born with the talent. also I am tone deaf.

Intern Dan

Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Tom Singing lessons do work and you can have the most minimal of singing talent and be a singer... look at pop music in the last 15 years and th rise of autotune. The real point though is that even though you're tone deaf you can be a singer. Maybe no one pays you to do it but you know in your heart you are a singer. @ Mel. that's a really really good observation. I've seen that happen time and time again.

Intern Dan

Friday, August 26th, 2011

And one more thing: @Maryann, the caveman in the back of my head enjoys your pic. :)

Tom

Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Dan that's the thing, I wouldn't want to sing with autotune. and no, it's not the last 15 years because I enjoyed late 90s pop they didn't use autotune, only echo effects at the end of sentences, if I could sing like anyone, I'd wish I could sing like the backstreet boys. I want to be a real musician, and lets face it, tone deaf people like myself can't sing. I want to sing top billboard charts and bring music back to greatness, like the early 2000s and before. because after that music has become fake. the last good era was late 90s-early 2000s music

Tom, have you done the work to become a singer?

Tom

Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Dan how can I become a singer if I am tone deaf(right there makes it impossible) do not know any tones from music, or octave rangs. there's so many confusing things like C# or whatever, I mean how am I supposed to know what that means? I heard singing is matching your voice tones with the beat tones, I mean really I don't understand that, I thought singing was just expanding words into beautiful sounds. You must have natural born talents to be an A list singer as I wish, to be, but never will be. because if you could learn to sing, then everyone in the world would be famous. singing is natural born talent. I do not have voice range or anything to be a singer. that's the facts of life, and I accept that, it sucks, but I accept it.

Monday, August 29th, 2011

@Tom "I have a ton of respect for them… the good ones." It sounds like you have a nasty self-serving streak with a definition of "good" that is sour own hostility and judgmentalnes. Whether the judgmental attitude is puritanical or "get back" at someone who "burned me, and no one gets away wif dat", there is insufficient info here to tell. What you think of as "dissing" or "burning" you may have been someone refusing to put up with crap you were dishing out. Sounds like you've got a lot of hostility, and don't look at yourself much... like, it's "*all* their fault, man." @Tom " if I get disrespected, by any gender, then it doesn’t matter I must make things fair." Oooohhhh.... no one disrespects you, and you carry around a lot of hostility about it, and it's gonna be "payback time". "I'll get them, you'll see." The only way to get respect is to earn it. You haven't earned it, and you don't get it from me. You've said nothing to indicate being worthy of respect.

I would consider a guy to be too old for a roommate from age 28 and above. Seriously you are able to use your penis I am sure it is not hard to pay for your own place and live independently. I do not find men attractive when (age 28 and over) 1. they still live with their parents 2. sucking money from their parents still 3. they drive a fancy car but parents pay for it 4. they have a nice I-PHONE and parents still pay monthly 5. they have to have the best car stereo, oh forgot Mom needs to pay for it. 6. Have no savings 7. Have no dreams 8. Jobless 9. Still glued in his X-Box and T.V wholeday 10. Expecting the WOMAN to pay for them (this is the most DISGUSTING one) Seriously Guys like this SHOULDN'T get laid.

Interesting how feedback comes more from men. I personally think it depends on where the woman is in her life and what she is looking for in a man. For example, I have my own place and make a very decent living and am also pretty open minded. Dated a man with a roommate who was my age and dated a man who was much younger with his own place, and dated a man who was my age with his own place. I can definitely say that there was some maturity and independence that came along with the men who had their own places and for me, I find those two qualities very important and attractive.

Umm... Idk.. if you are older than the person who allowed you to crash on their couch for a while but also rely on that person to get to and from work (even when it clashes with their own work schedule).. there's some issues. If you have a family, you should not have a roommate and/or if you do, that roommate should understand that your life does not revolve around them. Ok rant over lol.

I'm 22 and have a beautiful 5 bedroom house so I rent out my extra rooms it pays all my bills and I'm not alone all the time. A 50 year old woman rents out one of the rooms and I find that odd. Is it normal for a 50 year old to have nothing to show for themselves enough to rent a room from a 22 year old?

Karen

Monday, November 12th, 2012

@Brittany: No, I don't think it's odd that a 50-yr old woman is renting a room in your home. Single, older women are often the most disenfranchised economically, through no fault of their own. If you're a single woman and do not have a "killer career" (meaning relatively high paying position) the cost of living solo is much more than if expenses are shared with a partner/husband. Most women in a position like that really cannot save, they just survive. Also, if you've reached 50 and you're still single, you start to think about the economics of your old age. To many, it makes more sense to cut living expenses - i.e. rent a room as opposed to paying a full rent on an apartment on they would live in - and have extra money for emergencies, and other life costs. Being a woman over 50, with a comfortable financial reality is rare without them having an ex-spouse (divorce settlement)or having inherited money from family. If they're a professional (doctor, lawyer) the situation may be different, but for most "middle management" average positions, it can be a struggle.

i am a 37 year old straight male and i live with two other guys (33 & 41) in a house. for the most it works out great because we all know each other, get along, have jobs, pay the bills and are not messy. we are saving money and that is the important thing. however, you have to ask yourself "how long do i really want to do this?" i prefer living alone and have done it several times in the past but the attraction of saving some money always seems to drag me back to roommates. i'm lucky in that i've always had my own bathroom too. if you are the type who actually prefers roommates, then there is no age limit. who cares what society thinks. but things can get awkward if dates are brought home, etc. i am single and at this point having my own place is a requirement before i start dating again. just makes things much easier.

Okay, I know I'm late to the party, but I was dating a 46 year old man I met on a dating website. Cute, smart funny. Has his own house. Then I found out he has two 23 year old roommates. Yup, he was a 46 year old overgrown frat boy. TOTAL TURN OFF. I won't be seeing him again.

Ricky

I am a single mother who works hard and lives alone. If the man has a nice house and shares rent its acceptable behavior. It only becomes unacceptable in my mind when the roommate relationship starts replacing the need or desire for real relationships with romantic partners. If the needs of companionship are being met in regards to the mondanes of life and the little daily enjoyments and sharing your ideas or activities, then what's left is only sexual. This creates empty relationships with women. Of course this dynamic can change depending on the relationship status of the roommate, but also creates tension in the alpha female dynamic around the house. I am one to shy away from these scenarios. I do have to say that I respect a man who lives alone more. I also trust him more because it shows an adult or family lifestyle rather than a college one. It also lends increased time to be intimate and get to know him on a more personal level. I would have to bring a man to my home to get the intimacy I crave if he had constant distractions around his home. It is a dating barrier that can be overcome but not without patience, and in this busy time in our lives (the 30's), we may not have that necessary time to invest. Therefor, possible great relationships may never reach their potential. I'm a firm believer that the less distractions we have around us the more time we can invest in matters of the heart and in pursuing our passions, and that's what life about.

OMG I'm in a " relationship " with a man who has a 24 yr old roommate and a 32 year old " friend" that sleeps on their couch several days a week because he had no place on his own. Being there is like a frat house. This is ruining our relationship since my boyfriend is 52 as am I this feels like someone who doesn't want to grow up. I've discussed this with him and he says "what can I do" they cannot afford to live on their own". I say they could stop buying weed, booze and expensive video games and then they could. I'm obviously not the priority in this relationship and need to get out.

I started to text a 38 year old man who I met on a online dating site. I found out on day 2 he had 3 roommates, and he was also a sex addict. We were over in 30 seconds. I think men need to be on their own by age 24...out of college for a few years and holds a stable job and becomes independent. Men with roommates are a HUGE TURN OFF...

I am a divorced female who is turning 60. I own a mobile home and the expenses and rent and stuff like that are one half of my net income. I am going to be looking to sell my place and get into a roommate situation. I'm really not interested in finding a lover. I want to travel and I would like to get my housing costs to 25% of my gross.

Considering dating a nice man, my age group, 60, he is very vivacious, popular, I.e.. Tons of friends of all ages, I think because he is retired, ex green beret, war hero, very well off, and gphas many exciting stories and decorations. Plus a gorgeous house in arrowhead, and is retired and travelsvextensively. Probably the type people in the mountain bars love to play with. Kind of a super hero type life he has lived, and good looking. He is bright, exciting and they party all, it seems. Found out he has a 26 year old, female roommate, that he says is protecting from an abusive ex. I don't want to hang out at his house with a young woman. What about privacy, woman of the house, comfort zones, yikes. Don't think I should get in the middle of something thatT I know makes me uncomfortable. Am I a prude, out of touch?
