I agree. I've never had a roommate & don't ever plan to. I'd rather have a studio apt or 1 bedroom that I can fully afford & live by myself!

It's more common to find a single bachelor living by himself than a single bachelorette.

Single female living alone for over 10 years and loving it. I don't mind the high rents. I live in a 1 bedroom. Would NEVER live with roommates unless I was desperate or broke. A few years ago my income was higher than that of the average family/household. Saving money was not an issue for me. Now I'm not doing as well but I'm still living alone. It is worth it!

I think a lot of women are "weaker" for choosing to not live alone like me. Their not as independent and not as strong. A lot of females I know "don't feel safe" or "want someone else in the house". Personally I would rather die than have another person in my house. I like having complete and absolute freedom and I am independent.

I think everyone should live on their own once. In a way I find a little bit "pathetic" that some women are so averse to living alone. I can't help but feel a bit smug and superior to them because I have always been on my own. I think people who can't live alone are weak. It's good to be independent and to learn self-reliance. It's good to toughen up.

I'm not being a troll. I just think everyone should live alone and be independent for ONCE. It's good for you and makes you stronger to be self-reliant. How is that being a troll?

It's pathetic how some people are so afraid of being alone or so uncomfortable with themselves that they have to constantly be surrounded by people. It's just my opinion that I am stronger emotionally and mentally because I am not needy like that.

How does that make me a troll? I am just stating what I truly believe in.
