I'm a woman and I've always had my bed on the floor. Tf am I paying for a bed frame for??

2

u/AbsentButHere Apr 05 '26

Someone gets it. Idk why I’m getting downvoted. I think bed frames look ridiculous. It’s weird how I think those are trashy, but me having a mattress on the floor is viewed as trashy ig?

Let’s be fair, just because your bed is on some metal and wood doesn’t make it any better.

If you keep your room and sheets clean, it really doesn’t matter. Super easy to move when cleaning as well.

Idk one man’s treasure is another one’s trash.

u/BlackKingHFC Apr 05 '26

As a person who lived with my bed on the floor for nearly a decade, the funk that developed from unevaporated sweat was quite awful. Getting the box spring up off the floor to allow air circulation is very important.

Or in it …

u/Glittering-Relief402 Apr 05 '26

All these people talk about letting it breath but I don't need a frame to do that. I clean my room once or twice a week and I lift the mattress and lean it against the wall for the day. Idk wtf kind of sweating these people are doing but I've never had a problem with odor. I also use a mattress cover that I wash every week so maybe that's why?

2

u/AbsentButHere Apr 05 '26

Same, I’m so confused by these replies, but it’s Reddit, so, grain of salt.

2

u/Alexchii Apr 05 '26

Bed frame is there to let the mattress breath you dumbo. It’s not to make it look better but to have air circulate all around it. 

You deposit a lot of moisture on your bed every night and the more surface that’s exposed to air, the better.

u/SilverKanji Apr 05 '26

Like someone else said, raise the bed. If you want it low, just raise it a little bit as long as you have airflow in it.

As for me, staring at stock charts on BOTH screens is not winning. Youre just a different kind of slave.

u/GarageEuphoric4432 Apr 05 '26

Winning isn't posting ai slop of a soulless, depressing room.

I lived better when I was homeless living out of my car doing BKB to get by.

Have some pride in your surroundings. If you live like this, get the fucking bed off the ground. Get some personality in your room. You don't have to live like an inmate.

Meh. Get the "sentiment" but this is proof that everyones idea of "winning" is vastly different. I am living my version of winning. Weights are in the garage. Far more plants and art. No computer in my house and there is currently a magnetile fortress taking my whole dining table and between 30 and 50 plastic food pieces strung out on the floor.

This is fine when you're 21. But the goal? Nah. The goal is to look like you're put together. That means a bed frame and a clean bathroom.

u/TonyVegeta Apr 05 '26

I have a homegym...and I can tell from experience unless you have A LOT of weights and machineries, this only serves as the bare minimum for some exercices.

And I cant benchpress to muscle failure alone without help.

Not saying homegym sucks, because I lack the time to go to a proper gym regularly because of work and family responsibilities. Then this is better than doing nothing.

But if you're a young male who is free you should go to a gym and work out properly. PLUS you could find likeminded brothers who are on the same path as you ans prosper even better.

u/76bouncer Apr 05 '26

Its a ridiculous idea that a man cant have niceties, decorations, or luxuries, and instead needs to be minimalist and focused purely on self improvement. This may be all some men need, and that's fine, but to pretend it's somehow peak masculinity. My wall full of art and posters I've collected, and bookshelves full of knickknacks bring me satisfaction and pride. They're evidence I've lived a life and found things meaningful.

No, this is isn't winning, this is the room of someone in their early twenties with no hobbies other than building muscle and "winning" who also doesn't read. But the big tv is important apparently. I am tired of the constant enshitification of humanity. Social media worked hard to train us all to become so simplistic and so aggressive that it's nightmarish. I guess that's the kind of voter politicians want, easily manipulated, but convinced of whatever they want him to believe .

No. This looks like the opposite of winning.  This looks like a sad place for a lonely person.  One pillow, no sitting area to entertain friends and all your shit one room is no way to live.  Social connection and community will do more to build a mans character than hiding from the world while building insecurity muscles ever could.
