Yes it's advisable for single ladies to live alone because of privacy and independence

dfrost:


Is independence really worth it? Just asking.

Loisemm:
If you trust yourself to be responsible and only date/court one guy at a time, then living alone will suit you.
If living alone will make you feel you are free to bring different men home or keep late nights out, then it may be to your disadvantage to live on your own. And if one behaves this way, responsible men won't take her serious. Though some men do not trust women who live alone and some landlords do not rent out to single women. Na their business. Woman, know thyself...

Hello my dear e-fam,

Trust weekend is going well.

I just want your opinion on the above topic.

What are the pros and cons?

How does the society view this and also potential suitors?

Thanks

Even as a guy you will hear questions from Landlords like Pls show us your proof of Income...ehn are you a Yahoo boy or not ? Ehn..we don't want traders oh. Its salary earners we want

Yes it's good for genders to live alone at one stage in their lives because it helps people to understand themselves better.


Let me take my lodge for example, i'm not trying to castigate anyone buh i'm just sighting a real scenario.

In my lodge, there are students living around me, both males and females, some live alone, while some got roomies.

From what i"ve observed, I get to see that some of the ladies invite guys to sleep over with them.. whatever happens is certainly none of my business as its silly to start judging, but the fact still remains, she invited a guy to pass the night with her. Someone who you aren't married to.

The same goes for the guys as well, some do have females not only passing the night with them but outrightly living with them. Still someone they aren't married to.


Now what am I trying to say?


Are you tryn to get an apartment all to yourself to start doing odd things? Or because you have to?

Because I live alone doesn't mean I should abuse freedom. God sees all that we do in private, and people are observant of our outward lifestyles as well. All in all, if you wish to live alone, do it wisely.



if any one should ask me why i'm living alone, I won't tell them that I love my freedom, or I don't like anyone to bug me, if that is the case then I should go and live in a remote island without people, that's only when I can say I love to live alone.


I live alone because it's required for adults to do so at a stage in their lives, you get to determine the kind of character you want to imbibe, you also tend to know your flaws, are you the lazy type? Or the dirty type, or the type that procrastinates? Or the keeping late nights type? Or the minister of men/women affairs?

Whichever is the case, living alone makes you know the you in you. It also aids self development, before I started living alone, I couldn't know how to cook, but a sweet friend who commented in this thread taught me one or two rudiments of recipes and i'll always remember that cuz I did it myself.


Also I used to be this carefree type, I hardly arrange my bed and tidy up my wardrobe, but living alone has changed that aspect of me, I find myself dressing my bed nowadays before leaving my apartment and make it a point of duty to have a clean kitchen as well as a neat bathroom especially.




Now because I live alone, I try to discipline myself when it comes to friends, one guy asked me if he can pass the night in my room because his roomates dirtied his room and I told him HELL NO that isn't he a man? He should go tell those girls living with him to grow up and clean up after themselves. How can you be living with two girls and they just mess up the whole place? I sensed that if I allowed him to sleep over, it wouldn't end there as he will come again another time.


Well that's that. Please live alone because you have to, don't abuse freedom, be disciplined.

I live alone and my landlord asked where I worked. I gave him the location not the company's name he insisted, when I told him the company's name lasan, omo see respect.
I stay alone because my family house is far to my workplace and it was spelling doom for my job security, omo I respect my self and got an apartment. But I have my own set rules. If you come my house unplanned, na outside you go sleep, ive done it for 2people before .

I remember when i got admission @16 and my guardian in d same state said i must stay with her because i was too young to b living alone,say i fit get belle sef because of too much 'freedom' and i was like 'emagbami ke'.

Fast forward to 4yrs later when i came to lagos for my NYSC and i was staying with one of my uncle,My uncle's wife ehn! I told her about my interest in tailoring and to have a fashion store after nysc,she said 'God forbid' how can a university grad stoop so low to become a tailor. Few mths after i started my first job,i just cooked up one story dat my company provided accomodation to all staffs staying on d mainland. Omolomo larin ero, I rented an apartment,learnt as many skills as possible,switch jobs,did business as i like. I hardly invite my female friends to d house sef not to talk of a guy. Life is too short to be bothered abt 'society view'.
