At what age does it become " not cool " to live with other dudes ( friends etc )

- 27
- never had a roommate yet ...always paid a bit extra and got my own space ie studio apts etc

I still see on social media some guys I went to high school with living in a house with other guys or 1 other guy

I get that rentals in the area are very expensive ...but those guys don't look as cool anymore as they did when we were all like 21.

I feel those guys are still clinging onto their high school ego, and must realize that social status means very little anymore and its more about who is getting that $ at this age.

Knew people in their late 30s/early 40s that were still rooming and partying like they were in their 20s. To each their own

One rule is that there is no public fornication. So obtaining some spot with a bed where such activities can take place is a big priority for a lot of youngsters. (One wonders why they have kids then because that's surrendering the gains.) As I see it living with room mates is fine, as long as one had an additional residence where they could go and be themselves again.

IMO this entirely depends on the vibe / person. I think you could go early to mid 30s but if you're youthful (good shape, good job, bachelor lifestyle) nobody would really care. Same sort of logic that applies to dating younger girls at that age, it's only creepy if you're creepy.

In some markets like NYC or I’m sure parts of Cali it’s normal into your 30s to have roommates.


I’d say around 26 - 30 is when you should live alone. Doesn’t mean buy a place, but have your own place. This should also happen naturally. You should want your own place to bang sloots, have privacy, keep clean, etc. having bro roommates to hang out with, eat pizza, watch football, etc is cool right after college but becomes man child by your mid to late 20s.


This does suck as one of the major benefits of roommates is cutting costs down. If you want to live downtown for example, even in low CoL cities a decent sized 1BR apartment will be like $1,300+ a month. While if you have a roommate you can pay $800 each in some areas and live like a king

Been living alone since I was 24. 33 now and thinking of giving in my apartment and moving in with the folks and women that I come across here and there.

With the amount of money I've given my landlord the past 9 years I could've bought a home somewhere. Might as well swallow my pride and save the money even though I make well into the six figures.

Called social awareness boyo. Yea don’t cave into societal norms, but if you don’t then you’re not allowed to bitch about lack of respect from peers, women, etc

Title of thread was 'not cool'. Not 'if you save money'.

Depends on the situation, in you're 30's but single and own property and want some additional income letting a buddy live in your house, fine, because hes the loser not you.

other way around... i have some bad news.

Never.

I have zero interest in living alone.

If we’re both single who gives a chit. I’d live with a friend forever, unless I got a gf (lol).

Who cares as long as you are handling your responsibilities. People put way to much thought into how they think others should be living.

This. TBH I still wouldn't pass much judgement on someone 25-30 who is hustling at a job and needs to keep costs down or are paying off debt. Housing is expensive.

Lived alone in an apartment for four years, now own a house and rent out a room to my friend. Much better financially, and quality of life is better with a good roommate (srs)

Depends on the person but unless you live in NYC, as a man you probably want to have your own place to host dates once that's a priority over the partying/chilling with bro's lifestyle.

For some it will be early 20s for other mid to late 20s.

It's uncool after 28, but then becomes cool again after you are 60.
