Single women reveal the strange new dating dealbreaker: ‘It’s a heavy no for me’. “If a man doesn’t have his own place, I’m not dealing with him. I’m not dealing with a man with a roommate either. It’s a heavy no for me because I need you to be on your own, fully. I need to see it. As the cost-of-living spirals across the US, some women debating whether a roommate situation is a practical reality of expensive cities — or a sign that someone hasn’t reached the level of independence they’re looking for. One female commented that “anyone over 30 who can’t afford their own bills is a massive red flag for me.” “It makes me wonder what they’re spending their money on, and if they can’t make good financial choices now, they probably won’t when we’re dating either.”
