But so what if they are shallow? Complaining that someone else’s preferences are shallow won’t change that person’s preferences, so it’s better to just accept that you don’t meet them and move on.

Some people end up with great roommates. Others lose long time friends once they share living space. It can certainly be a way to save money as long as one doesn't end up with a roommate that starts to have trouble coming up with their share of the expenses. If you find out your roommate has a drug problem, or they have people you don't like coming over regularly, or they are a slob, or like one poster mentioned - steal from you. There was a woman posting on CD just the other day about how she and her sister are having trouble living together. It works for some but not for others.

Of course this is your own opinion. Not making fun of anyone living with roommates or in the basement of their parents. IMO I think an adult should be entirely on their own by 35.

I put this in the relationship thread because not everyone wants to date someone who lives with other people.

A one bedroom apartment in my neighborhood now runs $2,000 or $650,000 and up for a house.


So at what point should someone be pulling a six figure income?

If was to become a widow, I’d consider getting a housemate.

When I was younger and dating, if a guy had a housemate it was a distinct negative. Who wants to have a romantic sleep over when a strange dude was hanging out in the living room watching tv all night?

But it's not a strange dude. It's the roommate.

I mean yes, but this is a forum designed for sharing our opinions on such things. So here we are, discussing it.

Typical of a CD forum. Everyone gets offended and no one actually answers the question and only gives politically correct responses. Give a number people!
