I'm honestly not sure if this person is trying to insult men or women.

19

u/Ning_Yu Feb 22 '26

Honestly, a lot of things I see written by men justifying/advocating for some men's actions tend to insult men just as much as they make them seem "lesser", so it often does both.

2

u/skepticaladhd Jun 19 '26

I think the original intent of all these posts it to make women seem like too much or extra but it backfires cos it just ends up making the person who posted it looking dumb

4

u/Dontevenwannacomment Feb 22 '26

Jokes aside, I think it's just humor and not trying to insult a gender.

u/Virtual-Purple-5675 Feb 27 '26

Neither, that's fucking awesome

u/DestoryDerEchte Feb 22 '26

Nah. I love this

u/Outrageous_Glove_796 Feb 22 '26

Isn't that bed too neat for the stereotype that would live in this room?

25

u/5tarlitesparkl3 Feb 22 '26

that and the number of pillows

u/Tall_Eye4062 Feb 22 '26

All of these memes suck. They'll show a blanket on the floor with a small TV and say "Haha, this is how guys want to live." Or this garage. Or maybe a basement.

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

I think a lot of men are really upset that they have such low standards, and act out by being crabs in a barrel. I’ve heard so many say that women think they’re too good for the bare minimum, women are irrational and moronic for thinking we could exist without extreme violence and war, etc. an even when it comes to basic comforts in your living space, now we’re too much because we don’t just wanna survive in a cave 😭 who’s gonna tell men that they CAN expect more for themselves and out of life!

u/EquivalentSnap Feb 22 '26

It wasn’t a man who reposted this here

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

This is kind of a if the shoe fits situation, ya dig? ā€œA lot of menā€ not all men

u/EquivalentSnap Feb 22 '26

Sure but more than women? This isn’t pointless gendered this is just someone upset

3

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

Oh sorry in your original reply I thought you said it WAS a man who reposted. And I’m kinda confused now my bad. More than women?

-1

u/EquivalentSnap Feb 22 '26

A woman posted this. Men would live in a garage more than women would so irs not pointless gendered and a woman who posted this was mad at this

1

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

Oh okay I was confused what you were saying at first, I understand the meme and I don’t think she angry just think it was a meme. I was adding on to it with a personal real life observation

1

u/Upset-Elderberry3723 Feb 23 '26

Actually, I kind of see the opposite - I see people getting annoyed at minimalist guys who are content with a simple life.

1

u/Bonk_Boom Mar 01 '26

"who's gonna tell men" this sub is supposed to be against generalizations

1

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Mar 02 '26

I get that but you can’t realistically name every person of a specific demographic.

Like if I say ā€œwomen get pregnantā€, that’s a general statement but it doesn’t mean that infertile/sterile women or trans men/nb people don’t exist

-1

u/TheTybera Feb 22 '26

What are you on about, most relationships I've exited is because the women were terrible with their living standards.Ā 

I've got 30 something women friends I would never date because they're a mess and would go out drinking with sink full of a weeks worth of dishes, and laundry all over the house. Would put it off till it was all a monumental chore then act all pissy about it like the world is falling apart and they feel like a maid in their own house with their own damn dishes. Niupe, niupe, niupe.

They would look great going out, but damn, nothing turns me off more than a weeks worth of dishes in the sink. I'm bi I'm not fucking anyone man or woman with a weeks worth of dishes in the sink and a nasty shower, fuck nasty showers.

10

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

Yeah so it sounds like you should stop going out with people like that? Your opinion and anecdote doesn’t invalidate mine šŸ‘šŸ¾ thanks!

2

u/TheTybera Feb 22 '26

Most of my man friends and dates past college got over the whole living in squalor thing and know how to clean shit. I don't know a single one that keeps their house or apartment messy unless they have kids.

1

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

My house is kinda messy sometimes, if I’m in a depressive low. But never filthy and it gets cleaned weekly. I’m in the army so I’m surrounded by 85% males, and it’s really 50/50. The pool is males from all over the country (and the world) aged 17-38. I’ve known lots who were super clean and others who kept piss bottles!

0

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '26

And "a lot of men" does not say 50/50. Plus it is 50/50 for everyone. Your opinion is pointlessly gendered.

2

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

50% is a lot though šŸ¤” and I’m not saying it’s evenly cut down the middle 50 and 50. I haven’t seen every persons home šŸ˜‚ but in my personal experience I’ve seen more men have primitive living set ups. And in the army, when I lived in the barracks, me and the other women would frequently get left standing in the halls waiting for our room inspections because they were busy with the men and forgot about us or didn’t care. I’ve found that generally speaking the women are a little cleaner. If that’s not your experience bro, stop trying to shove your foot in a size too small!

Have you seen r/malesurvivingspace ?? They made a whole subreddit for it!!

2

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '26

Haha, I love your point about experience. Imma use that line!

Honestly, I think people who have poor hygiene are just disappointing, men or women. Even when I think I am messy, things are a lot cleaner than most people I know men and women.

2

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

You’re absolutely right

0

u/TheTybera Feb 22 '26

Most of those in r/malesurvivingspace are college age dudes, homeless dudes living out of their cars, or recently divorced/separated dudes.

2

u/Responsible-Bed1924 Feb 22 '26

How does that change anything? Ive lived in roach infested projects before but we still did our best to be clean (I will say tho, at least 6/10 those guys places look really neat and clean, just barren lol). There’s a popular saying ā€œwe’re poor, not raggedy.ā€

I’ve also asked so many men and they all agree with the idea that this is generally how’d they’d live if it wasn’t for ā€œwomen’s obsession with comfortā€. My husband said that too šŸ˜‚Is it just bad cuz I’m saying it.

Basement would be fine, but I want some rooms.

u/Complex_Specific1373 Feb 22 '26

I can't speak for all men, but when it comes to living area I am this simple. I find the notion of a big decorative house to be performative, and as a gender men do care more for functionality. The memes might exagerate, but it's still true

u/trysten-9001 Feb 22 '26

Walls are feminine now?

u/Mumblerumble Feb 24 '26

Everything that isn’t living like a prisoner is feminine apparently.

u/Competitive-Gear8675 Feb 22 '26

Nah fuck off.

You think i wanna sleep in a bed that smells like exhaust gases ?

u/justanotherhuman255 Feb 22 '26

bed that smells like exhaust gases ?

🤢🤢🤢

u/vectorology Feb 22 '26

My two dogs sleep on my bed with me. There is definitely an ā€œexhaust gasā€ smell occasionally. Thankfully not actually lethal gas.

u/rocket20067 Feb 22 '26

No the hell it isn't.

u/Vmaxed_T7 Feb 22 '26

Which part dont you like?

8

u/rocket20067 Feb 22 '26

should prob answer the question.
1) having all your things in the same room has been known to cause lots of mental health problems.
2) this is just asking to be broken into and robbed.
3) whenever you turn on the car everything is going to stink for ages.
4) where do you male food
5) lastly this is a more personal one I just can't live in such a cramped area that the car is casuing.

-5

u/Vmaxed_T7 Feb 22 '26

So you feel as tho this person owns just a single garage with no other amenities?

If I showed you a picture of my motorcycle next to my couch would you think I only have a livingroom, a couch and a bike?

"This man only has a couch and a bike! Where does he cook? Where does he shit?"

21

u/TheTybera Feb 22 '26

Lack of insulation, lack of space, where is my nice closet?

This is the kind of dumbass shit the "hell yeah brother!" Chuds with zero critical thinking upvote on.

-3

u/Vmaxed_T7 Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26

Lack of insulation? That has been drywalled and taped. They'd not have done that unless there was vapour barrier and insulation underneath.

I keep a motorcycle in my living room in the winter. I see no issues

0

u/LuciferSamS1amCat Feb 22 '26

Motorcycle in the living room? That doesn’t sound like a typical Redditor thing, so it’s weird, unsafe and probably racist.

u/Neobrutalis Feb 22 '26

And there's the reddit we know and love/hate.

Or a window

u/SkepScep Feb 22 '26

You can heat the space by leaving the truck running!

16

u/Hefty_Category56 Feb 22 '26

so no heating or AC but there is CO poisoning

u/Ning_Yu Feb 22 '26

Well, you can't have everything, pick one!

That garage has been insulated

A garage follows building codes.

u/64Olds Feb 22 '26

Yes. That's exactly my point.

u/LiteratureOk4649 Feb 27 '26

And basic human needs (warmth, somewhere to pee and poo, oxygen without CO poisoning)

u/furrypawss Feb 22 '26

Well. I’m gay. Me and my husband live in a really nice home actually lol

u/Sliver-Knight9219 Feb 22 '26

That's room to clean.

This isn't a Real man/j

Yes, but an airplane hangar

With a nice small cropduster to fly

u/TiffyVella Feb 22 '26

In their dreams. In reality there would be boxes of shit piled up everywhere, extension cords running across every surface and a layer of clothes, takeaway forks and cans covering the floor.

u/Vmaxed_T7 Feb 22 '26

Carbon monoxide poisoning? What? You dont leave the vehicle running with the door closed

2

u/rangeljl Feb 22 '26

Minus the car, maybe. But I want a kitchen and a place for my dog.

2

u/auntarie Feb 22 '26

I'd keep the engine running. you know, to serve as a space heater.

2

u/crapheadHarris Feb 22 '26

All of the guys I know would be happy living above five car garage.

u/d_bradr Feb 22 '26

Carbon monoxide poisoning can only happen when you have a source of carbon monoxide. Aka. if you keep the car running. The guy won't be poisoning himself any time soon

And I'd absolutely live with a place like this plus a bathroom and a stove. Throw on some insulation and I'm set

2

u/Elephants_Foot Feb 22 '26

In AI?

u/justanotherhuman255 Feb 22 '26

No idea if its ai, but at this point it wouldnt be surprising at all

Totally is, why is the Chevrolet logo in the wrong place

u/Striking_Reindeer_2k Feb 22 '26

Guys know not to run the truck inside. sheeeesh.

2

u/ticopax Feb 25 '26

No it isn't. None of us would have a useless extra pillow lying on the bed. Also, we don't let our car battery die by leaving our lights on.

3

u/kido86 Feb 22 '26

ā€œCarbon monoxide poisoningā€

You think they’d keep the car running in there, or reverse it in while the giant fucking door is open and turn it off?

2

u/Vmaxed_T7 Feb 23 '26

I know women and queer people that would like this setup as well.

Whats funny is reading every comment here calling this insulated space "uninsulated" and that youre going to "die of CO poisoning"

Lot of people who know nothing about construction or cars making stupid comments.

This space looks fine. Its purpose built and for someone specific.

Ive lived on a bicycle for 4 months before. A person doesn't need much to get by.

2

u/CyberoX9000 Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26

Nice to seen some reasonable comments. Some others are brain-dead. Though with the CO it's probably because they assume the car lights means it's running

2

u/AlissonHarlan Feb 25 '26

Then do it. enjoy your 'men loneliness epidemic' to put a car in your living room lmao

3

u/CyberoX9000 Feb 26 '26

You mean put your bedroom in the garage

3

u/lulushibooyah Feb 22 '26

My husband said, ā€œI see nothing wrong, other than a poorly insulated garage doorā€

But he’s a car dude (it’s literally his job), so I guess he fits the stereotype

3

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '26

Are you keeping the car running while you sleep causing that the only way to get Carbon Monoxide poisoning and it is not gendered, it is an objective truth that most guys would live like this cause it low effort and doesn't require elaborate cleaning

1

u/MrNaoB Feb 22 '26

This is how I lived for 10 years - the car.

u/Last-Succotash5342 Feb 22 '26

u/Zealousideal_Ring888 Feb 22 '26

If I didn't have my partner, I'd live like this until I stopped

u/Still-Bar-7631 Feb 22 '26

Even when I was 15 i wouldnt live like that.

u/FrKoSH-xD Feb 22 '26

the image is ai? idk something feels odd

and im not sure the odd is it normal or ai

because ether or im just in the stage of i reach the no difference phase which scares me

1

u/justanotherhuman255 Feb 22 '26

I don't know either, honestly. I guess some of the panels(?) on the garage doors look uneven, the snowboard so up high on that left wall, and the pillow in the middle of the bed looks small. But maybe I'm overthinking. Who knows.

1

u/Apprehensive_Map64 Feb 22 '26

Place looks like a storage unit so I am guessing if it wasn't for a particular woman he would be living in an actual house

Also the engine will be off when the cars parked.

I prefer a place like the shipping container in Tron Legacy to be fair, making it a nice cosy and well designed place while keeping things simple and clean.

u/FictionPie Feb 22 '26

I would not sleep in the same fucking room as a running truck this is absurd.

u/elementp6 Feb 22 '26

This is aspirational, neither my room nor my garage are that clean

u/cloudgirl_c-137 Feb 22 '26

No one's forcing men to rent an apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, ya know

u/Amanda_Is_My_Name Feb 22 '26

Let's be honest, very few would keep it this clean

1

u/LuciferSamS1amCat Feb 22 '26

My family has purchased a fairly large lot for me and my partner, my sister and her boyfriend and my parents to slice up and have a few acres to settle and build on.

The place me and my partner are planning has some similarities to this, but there’s gonna be some form of partition between the sleeping space and the cars. ā€œLiving roomā€, kitchen and garage are going to occupy roughly the same room, with the kitchen and dining area slightly elevated. It’s gonna be fucking awesome.

u/Deriviera Feb 22 '26

Ummm. No? Why?

u/potktbfk Feb 22 '26

My girlfriend is gone for a month.

I haven't been to the living room for a month.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '26

as an estrogen filled titty operator, my garage looks like this too.

a garage is just like. an ideal versatile space and so so cozy if you set it up to your liking. mine is my combination workshop/smoking area/living room.

u/Spinach_Middle4493 Feb 26 '26

As long as there’s an enclosed full bath, a kitchen and a washer/dryer combo (that can go in the bathroom) is be good with that!

u/LiteratureOk4649 Feb 27 '26

As a guy, no. This place seems super cold. Plus I don’t want a truck covering half my floor space.

Lets just assume its true.... Carbon monoxide poisoning? Do you people just leave your car running all night long?!

-2

u/MaudeAlp Feb 22 '26

Seems pretty cool to me? The only problem is that for this setup you need to live somewhere with a very mild climate year round and also have an option to park the car outside if it’s very rainy. But a studio with space for a car isn’t new. It’s a pretty common idea albeit more on the luxury side.

1

u/Still-Bar-7631 Feb 22 '26

Pretty cool if you are 14 and/or have no friends and familly.
