I think in certain areas having a house is more valued than others and not many people live in apartments.

Being born and raised in NYC, owning a house certainly isn't very important, a lot of people with money live in apartments. Luxury ones that many people who own houses elsewhere cannot afford.

Where is TVSG who started this thread such a long while ago? As is his wont, where is his follow-up? Nowhere? Of course not, he just starts another thread. Sigh. Poor Grasshopper.

Did TVSG ever consider the possibility that these women were realtors trying to sell him a house?

Given this question was asked 5-10 years ago, yes. I would expect a 30 year old man OR woman to own their own home. Nowadays, not so much.

If someone is single and in their 30s and they own a house around here, and they are not a millionaire I would really question their priorities. I don't see the reason to own so much and get a huge mortgage when you can rent or buy a much more affordable place and put money away for when you really need a house.

Ok everybody, I'm done, it's clear that I don't qualify for a relationship because women want you now in this SHAKY economy to have a HOUSE???

I mean Come on!
I'd drop those women like a bad habit. People can think what they want, but nobody ought to be asking such direct personal questions, fraught with financial consequences, so early in a relationship. That's a real red flag.

You have to leave it, once in a while.

I was hoping this thread said HORSE...it doesn't. Bored.
