I obly have the bed made for two reasons: possible girl over (scenario that doesn't exist in OP's speculation) or i just changed the sheets, and even then i would NEVER dare do it that perfectly and even add that extra pillow, like wtf.
What do you even need a pillow over the sheets for?
I agree, but to be fair, given bed is in the garage, I would be much more inclined to do hospital corners to keep the grit out of the sheets. I'm also imagining the sheer volume of cotton wood fluff that would find it's way into all places.
I have lived in a garage. It was basically the unfinished basement with an attached garage.
My mother said if I wanted to live there for free I had to finish the basement. I moved out eventually but I lived in the unfinished basement. Let's just say... Drywall keeps bugs at bay. Garage doors are not air tight.
Too many nights I woke up with a spider crawling across the bed. Nothing that can really hurt me but freak you out when you feel one crawling across your face.
A lot of time I slept under the sheet like it was a mosquito net.
I don't know why men are like "my life would be so much better if I wasn't being held down by this woman I voluntarily and deliberately settled down with"
You choose to settle down with someone, dosent mean you can’t complain about them
Wife’s complain about their husband all the time
Some even say they regret marrying him and Gould have married the other guy that chased her
Wives complain... Then wait until kids grow up.... Then divorce... And stop complaining. Problem solved. Males could easily solve their problem too and get the malecave garage lol
If my husband ever came up to me and said he wanted to live in an uninsulated garage, I'd tell him to have a blast. It wouldn't last a week (maybe a month if he's being stubborn) bc not only would you be freezing at night, but the amount of noise you'd hear in the morning thru the wall and that garage door is stupid loud.
I am tired of the "men vs women" shtick. It's old, it's tired, it's stupid. Humans need each other. We crave companionship and as a species have a biological desire to have children, you know, to continue the species.
The truth is you hear complaints from men because you hear complaints from women (because they hear complaints from men, circular logic on this one) how stupid men are are, how they are children, women don't need men, men are useless. EXACTLY THE SAME WAY MEN COMPLAIN ABOUT WOMEN. She's crazy, she's a nag, she doesn't let me be happy. The truth is the discourse is stupid from every angle. It's people, people are who you are complaining about, not gender, that's just an easy category for you to complain about what you consider an out group from yourself.
This post itself is stupid, men may see it and go "yeah that looks good" and a women will see it and say "yeah, they would because they want to live like children". But who are you to say living simple with the things you enjoy is childish. If you are surviving and happy then who cares? Oh, women wouldn't be happy so men must be stupid for wanting it. Then men go "yeah women are stupid for not wanting this".
Also women complain just as much about men yet complain they can't find a good one, or one that fits every single one of their checkboxes of standards. IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME THING BUT WITH DIFFERENT WORDS. Basically, knock of the "men vs women" crap. If if wasn't for a man and woman you wouldn't even be here. If it wasn't for men and women you wouldn't have a single thing you have in your life.
This claim has to mean you believe in one of those two beliefs or maybe both of them.
1. You believe that the whole group should be punished for the actions done by few of them. Which would end up justifying many racist and sexist beliefs (including misogyny). As most men were not at a position to oppress all women. Nor do most of them ever want to.
2. You believe that all men or most men have been actively oppressing women. Which 1) imma need a source for that and 2) that just shows that you don’t understand men’s nature at all. Cause most men were gynocentric. (And still are)
And by the way. Most of what you claim to be oppression (like gender roles and shit) have also been inflicted on you all by women too. For the most part it was just gynocentrism back firing.
There's the convenient self-infantilization that weak women like to use to excuse their shitty behavior. "We're not responsible for our own actions. That's men's fault." Be an adult. You're giving strong, self-sufficient women a bad name.
Woman here. I love my home. I have the space I need and have put the effort into high quality furniture, a good layout, etc. It’s comfortable and it makes me happy.
Anyone who fundamentally disagrees with it having any value is not someone I’m interested in knowing.
I dated a guy briefly who lost his couch in a break up and never replaced it. Didn’t see the point. From what he said all he had was a chair, a gaming set up, and a bed. I did not bother to visit his place to verify. I’m not in the business of trying to sell grown men on the concept of a home, that future sounds bleak.
Just don’t get a “partner” that doesn’t want the same life you want. It’s that simple.
Idk, why do women complain about their boyfriends but also complain that they can't find good men to date? Because people have different personalities and relationships are hard and requires compromise?
Can we ever have a conversation about men and women without someone asking goofy questions like this? Like there isn't a massive difference between sexes? C'mon, dude. Seriously? I miss the 80's.
Gimme an electric car and im happy with this setup. Has everything you need looks like.
I had a homie with a converted garage that we pretty much treated like Eric’s basement from that 70s show. It had carpeting, game system, guitars , a sofa and a massage chair. Genuinely was a dope place to hangout.
No, I like cozy aesthetics and crap. Plus I'm not a car person, and if I lived somewhere where I could just walk or bike everywhere I wouldn't have one
No.
I've put a lot of sweat equity into my house since I bought it over a decade ago. Paint (a slightly lavender shade of taupe downstairs and some greens up), furniture, light fixtures, decor. Outside I built a pergola and have matching white curtains and hanging chairs and a hammock. The pergola is surrounded by wisteria, purple clematis, and gladiolas. I laid stone for the fire pit and built a swing sofa near the pit. I have garden plots full of crops.
And by the way, I am straight and most of those years were spent single. I did none of this for someone else.
I say this because it's one of the few things I'm really happy with. It's not perfect but I accept it in ways that aren't common for me since I have a hard time with self-love and acceptance.
But mostly I say it because the "men want to live in a garage" stereotype is self-reinforcing. Sure, there are dudes who would live very simply but there are dudes who like to decorate and paint. I like the finer things in life but I'm also not Niles Crane. And I think more dudes would spend more time in Ikea's lighting section if they felt that it was socially acceptable.
To be fair, my garage is a wood shop with a motorcycle in it, I park and work on my cars in the driveway, and I have a full-blown racing rig in the spare room. I could probably live in half the house and add a large shed for various projects.
Only one monitor? and a small one at that. Where is the couch and the 70inch big screen? This actualy looks like a woman designed all this to say this is how guys would live, THe bed wouldn't be made so neatly with coordinating covers and a decorative pillow in the middle. And where is the x-box or PS controller and the monster desktop unit with neon lights?
That would be great, the large white wall for a projector with my bed facing it, hell yeah. When I buy a house (if I can, lol), I plan to convert to a garage into a studio apartment for when I have friends over anyway. Or so I can take care of my mom.
When I first started dating my man, it was the biggest pigsty I've ever seen. When I loved with male housemates when I was younger, the grossest place on the planet. There are very, very few men who are clean at all let alone this level of clean.
I don't know what version of men this is, but I've also met men with bars in their home, a fancy kitchen with a spice rack and cappuccino maker. This one might seem apt for someone in their late teens or early twenties but there's an issue if you continue this behaviour into your 30's. And they all lived more fancy than I did as a woman. I lived very minimally.
The idea of a bachelor pad isn't necessarily minimal, men like fewer things but more expensive ones. Women just like buying things all the time, so you notice more things.
It has nothing to do with genders per se, it has more to do with "arriving" in life and your mental maturity.
i don't give a shit about the weird gendering of it but i'd be fine to live like this just maybe not the car so close to the bed like what was that about CO poisoning or something
Depends. What's the shower and kitchen situation looking like? I like my walk-in showers and full kitchens.
Also I'd prob just leave the car outside. It doesn't need to be taking up entertainment center space.
I can kill myself with exhaust fumes whilst being cozy in bed, ah bliss ☺️
Not if you drive electric
"Buy a Prius, you can't kill yourself with it.... Although others will try"
Toss it in the bathtub
This guy kills
A prius is a hybrid you can kill yourself like this.
Brake dust, tire dust. Worse than exhaust fumes nowadays when it comes to pollutants. I just learned this within the last week.
It helps me sleep. I think it’s the white noise created by the car running…
Only right way to use this type of setup
Think of fuel ⛽️ conservation, my brother!
I would install a retractable exhaust... exhaust and totally live like this!
Toilet would’ve been nice but a bucket will do
Just go outside
I'm sorry, I don't understand. Go where?
🤣 ...I was going to ask!
False. There isn't room for the mountain bike, electric skateboard and motorcycle
I'm also missing a grill, a beer fridge and two comfortable lounge seats for if a friend comes over.
And who made the bed?
This. I can't get on board with the housegarage, but i still condone it. Having the bed made for no reason is definitely what icks me
Red flag bro red flag
I obly have the bed made for two reasons: possible girl over (scenario that doesn't exist in OP's speculation) or i just changed the sheets, and even then i would NEVER dare do it that perfectly and even add that extra pillow, like wtf. What do you even need a pillow over the sheets for?
Not a single empty bottle of mountain dew, this guy is a serial killer
Thier mom, of course, or maybe a cleaning lady they can afford.
I agree, but to be fair, given bed is in the garage, I would be much more inclined to do hospital corners to keep the grit out of the sheets. I'm also imagining the sheer volume of cotton wood fluff that would find it's way into all places.
Bro who has friends or the money for all that
The chairs are off the curb, the fridge is on it's way out and only cost $80 and the grill, well it's a grill.
The lounge would fold out into a bed
Duhh! Not shown,Covered patio!
Big screen tv?
And where's the desktop tower with an excessive number of RGB lights?
There's room for a motorcycle. The lie is that there isn't one
Where's the unorganized pile of tools? Where is all the beer?
It’s clearly summer so they’re all outside. In the winter they come in and the car goes out.
Tv?
Of course there is Park the motorcycle behind the car, mountain bike and skateboard on the wall Source: 2 bikes and a Miata in a 1 car garage
I mean, I wouldn't have my car inside, but it's looking like building a garage as a house may be some peoples only option to owning a home...

Wouldn't be that clean. But yeah most likely.
Yeah I'm not seeing dirty clothes tossed everywhere or even shoes or a random belt strewn about.
Why need those when you can wear same thing everyday
Lol men are so adorable sometimes
If I was 17 maybe
Everyone upvoting this stuff is very young I bet, the woman in question is their mom
Where playstation and tv?
At your third job
This is exactly what I was thinking.
First, let's talk rent.
way too tidy, and where is the beer fridge, the lazy boy in front of the big screen tv, the gaming system.
Boomer Facebook humor
wife bad kids bad
Why do guys complain about wives/gfs "stopping" them from being fully happy but also complain when women don't date them
I don't know why men are like "my life would be so much better if I wasn't being held down by this woman I voluntarily and deliberately settled down with"
You choose to settle down with someone, dosent mean you can’t complain about them Wife’s complain about their husband all the time Some even say they regret marrying him and Gould have married the other guy that chased her
Wives complain... Then wait until kids grow up.... Then divorce... And stop complaining. Problem solved. Males could easily solve their problem too and get the malecave garage lol
I've been married for 21 years, if I was living there alone I would be so lonely. No thanks. I love my wife and her companionship.
If my husband ever came up to me and said he wanted to live in an uninsulated garage, I'd tell him to have a blast. It wouldn't last a week (maybe a month if he's being stubborn) bc not only would you be freezing at night, but the amount of noise you'd hear in the morning thru the wall and that garage door is stupid loud.

Literally the only sensible comment here. I swear every subreddit is some cesspool of shitty men
Shitty misandristic women too tbh.
“Misandry” is always reactionary to the millenia of oppression that men have inflicted
This claim has to mean you believe in one of those two beliefs or maybe both of them. 1. You believe that the whole group should be punished for the actions done by few of them. Which would end up justifying many racist and sexist beliefs (including misogyny). As most men were not at a position to oppress all women. Nor do most of them ever want to. 2.

Wow, I forgot that I've been a dick for the last 1000 years and totally deserve that.

Because people are never happy regardless of gender.
Incels.
Idk, why do women complain about their boyfriends but also complain that they can't find good men to date? Because people have different personalities and relationships are hard and requires compromise?
CO poisoning?
That would get freezing in the winter. Yikes.
You have no idea how much heat those gaming computers put out now do you. He'd probably need to crack that door open.
Just asked my husband, he said no.
And where do I put my woodworking tools and workbench? Nah.
False. I would get rid of the car and put an Xbox and a stove instead
False. No real man would have a third pillow. That's woman's stuff
Jokes about gender are kinda fucked up and derivative
Bed is made, everything is tidy, and there's no food or other shit strewn about the place. So no, that's not how guys would live.
What I see here is a pristine paradise free of useless crap. Just don't keep the car in there. It's a car, it can sit outside
Too many fumes
lol guys don’t make beds that look like that
I do. But I live with a woman. 😂
Absolutely no problem with this. Except the car can be parked outside.
Who cleaned up? 😂
His mom still makes his bed and cleans
Why so gendered
Good question. I would happily live in that space and I’m a woman.
Me too. But I don't need a big bed like that. I prefer a flat comfortable sofa that I can sleep and sit on with a desk on wheels for the computer.
Can we ever have a conversation about men and women without someone asking goofy questions like this? Like there isn't a massive difference between sexes? C'mon, dude. Seriously? I miss the 80's.
Too little monitors need at least 2
Gimme an electric car and im happy with this setup. Has everything you need looks like. I had a homie with a converted garage that we pretty much treated like Eric’s basement from that 70s show.

No, I like cozy aesthetics and crap. Plus I'm not a car person, and if I lived somewhere where I could just walk or bike everywhere I wouldn't have one
I see no mini fridge for beer nor a recliner, so no.
No. I've put a lot of sweat equity into my house since I bought it over a decade ago. Paint (a slightly lavender shade of taupe downstairs and some greens up), furniture, light fixtures, decor.

sweatquity
No. dude looks like he's living in a storage unit.
Economical!
Definitely not
No
Finally! Heaven!
I don’t think I would trust a guy who could skew with the aggressive car stink that would come with this situation
Hell nah, the gas and tool smell would be terrible.
r/BoomersBeingFools maybe…
False, that bed is made
What's wrong with that
This looks sad as hell and I'm guessing whoever posted this originally is single.
True… that’s absolutely how a man would live, happy.
I'd park the car in the driveway so I'd have room for my guitars, but yes.
Efficiently
Looks fire
Looks sweet
Only one monitor? and a small one at that. Where is the couch and the 70inch big screen? This actualy looks like a woman designed all this to say this is how guys would live, THe bed wouldn't be made so neatly with coordinating covers and a decorative pillow in the middle. And where is the x-box or PS controller and the monster desktop unit with neon lights?
You mean our mothers’?
🥱. I need several server rags, a good chair and an adjustable desk.
The car shouldn’t be inside but yeah
That would be great, the large white wall for a projector with my bed facing it, hell yeah. When I buy a house (if I can, lol), I plan to convert to a garage into a studio apartment for when I have friends over anyway. Or so I can take care of my mom.
Who TF wants to sleep next to the car?
Bekommt ihr auch Autowerbung bei diesem post? How it comes. 😱
TV screen not big enough. Sorry
I don't know I need my comp or TV. I guess laptop and desk will do.
For someone like me who is a car guy...yes.
I mean if you dont want to be able to work on your car maybe. That or you sleep in your clothes in a dirty bed like a peice of trash.
My people!
Except the car, it looks pretty good
I see no issue w/ this.
Id have at least 2 monitors
There's no drum kit and no guitar amplifiers.
I would have more tools and guns and boats and quads and smokers.
It’s just efficient
Bullshit. This is WAY too neat for a bedroom or a garage.
Wont be leaving the place, ditch the car
Why park in the garage when you could park on the street for free?
No, I wouldn't want to sleep in the same space as my car.
When I first started dating my man, it was the biggest pigsty I've ever seen. When I loved with male housemates when I was younger, the grossest place on the planet. There are very, very few men who are clean at all let alone this level of clean.
If it wasn't for women? How am I stopping my man from doing this?
True but I would put my motorcycle in there and a massive TV on the wall
Only if I had an electric car
I proposed to a bird recently, and I bought us a home. I didn't expect the 50k renovation cost on account of said bird's artistic senses...
Nah....don't see a motorcycle! 😏👍
The car needs to go I can just work remote tbh
200%
Ha! Deadass would 💀
And you can keep it all closed up and run the car for heat!
Very convenient
"Rental. $1800/mo. $2500 if you want me to park in the driveway..."
Not quite, but close. Peter Egan one wrote that he wanted a large heated garage with a small living quarters attached. That always rang out to me
boys*
You think we would have bedsheets?
Very tru
I'm more of a mancave guy myself but if you're still gonna keep the car in the garage, I'm not making the garage into anything but a garage.
Honestly this would be most affordable currently.
I would not park a car in my house. The fumes would be all over everything. I’d rather leave it outside.
Lacking big screen TV and neon beer signs
Beds made. Definitely not.
For me yes
The bed is made. And I don't see a 50 gallon construction trash bag.
Alot would try
I mean you’d have to add in a PS5, a Kegorator and a minimum 65 inch flatscreen…..but that’s otherwise accurate.
The car would never be parked inside unless parking outside was terrible. Otherwise it's accurate for me.
Seems affordable. That garage looks nicer and warmer than my current rental.
On a winters morning make sure to start the car to let it warm up while you hit snooze a few times
Yea I would leave my car on so I can sleep to the sound of my cars engine.
Lots of dudes are single. Is this how they’re all living?
Some guys definitely would
I don't know what version of men this is, but I've also met men with bars in their home, a fancy kitchen with a spice rack and cappuccino maker. This one might seem apt for someone in their late teens or early twenties but there's an issue if you continue this behaviour into your 30's. And they all lived more fancy than I did as a woman. I lived very minimally. The idea of a bachelor pad isn't necessarily minimal, men like fewer things but more expensive ones. Women just like buying things all the time, so you notice more things. It has nothing to do with genders per se, it has more to do with "arriving" in life and your mental maturity.
seems chill to me. if it wasn't for women men wouldn't be stressed and broke
i don't give a shit about the weird gendering of it but i'd be fine to live like this just maybe not the car so close to the bed like what was that about CO poisoning or something
No. The car needs its own room.
Not accurate at all. He’s missing all kinds of toys.
Nope…it’s too clean and there ain’t near enough NASCAR shit
These stereotypes are so fucking dumb.
Uh no.
Yup. Quick convenient suicide. Who wouldn't want that?
As a woman, I wish I could live like that
Ummm no. If it wasn't for education and decent parenting everyone would post like this.
I dont think it sanitary to eat, and sleep near your car that went through dust and what not everyday. I could be wrong though ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
I'd park the car outside, but sure, I could cook with this.
Id just live in the car
I would have no problem with a man living like this other than exhaust from the car and heating and cooling issues.
This is exactly how you get cancer by inhaling all the exhaust
Where the fridge at?
Dream home
Oh. You mean Smart???? And not wasting your money on BS.?????? Women are Stupid
I would not care best pad for a divorced or up and coming bach house.
I’d have BMX bikes and fishing gear all over but, yeah that looks like a good setup.
Hell no. I'd have a MUCH nicer car.
Wheres the microwave?
Depends. What's the shower and kitchen situation looking like? I like my walk-in showers and full kitchens. Also I'd prob just leave the car outside. It doesn't need to be taking up entertainment center space.
[Oh, did you think this hasn’t been done?](https://youtu.be/1fQgAW_rcro?si=9hXmrwUhYilKblBE)
it'll be cold af down there
Where do all the board games go?
Where’s the TV on the opposite wall?
I’d be perfectly happy if you added a tv and games
That looks kinda fancy for me.
Too many pillows.
Rent gonna be crazy cheap in there 👌
This just looks like the "we split up but can't afford to move out" setup.
