>>53475491
Cheap, easy to clean, not a lot of stuff when you move
Seems legit to me
I had a 2 story, 3 bedroom townhouse when I started dating some chick and she helped me decorate the whole thing. Then I sold the place and had to give away a bunch of furniture just to fit into my new 2 bedroom house.
The more stuff, the shit to move and store

>>53475491
could do with a couple small tables, and i like my TV wall mounted. seems fine otherwise

>>53475491
"Modern" male? You do realize that we have only kept what we can carry for thousands of years because we would have to chase our next meal of escape extreme weather. Males are predisposed to want very little possessions because being able to physically move on quickly is a survival skill. You've been brain washed by TV that would fill houses with shit for you to buy as product placement. Even nontangible things would be represented as posters in characters rooms to advertise movies and other Broadway shows.

>>53475512
For what?

>>53476531
This.
Imagine a scenario that you have to leave the city due to an statewide emergency but you have collectibles or possessions that you deeply care about...well you would end up not leaving.

>>53476483
I still cant believe people buy this shit.

>>53476625

probably cant afford anything else with that rent price for that view

>>53476483
jfc nuke us already

At first I looked at this picture and thought that there was nothing much wrong. I had a setup like that when I was about twenty. A comfortable recliner and an entertainment system is fine if you don't plan to entertain guests. Then I thought about what I'd bring to an apartment like that now that I'm more than a decade older.

I own a number of paintings that would have to hang up on the walls. I have some very nice gifts that I have received that would have to go up. Some very fancy decorative Chinese bowls and a Chinese vase. A kachina doll. A biplane done in metal and a fox done in glass. A few other things as well. Those would need tables to go on.

Then candles. I enjoy candles. They're great for certain lighting, and they make the place smell nice. I particularly enjoy the wood wick candles that pop when they burn, that makes them pleasing to the eyes, the ears, and the nose. Those might also need a table.

And if I'm making the place presentable for company then of course I would have to accommodate them. A couch. Comfortable chairs. A nice table to sit around. Coasters for everyone's drinks. It would have to tie together with the paintings and the other bits of ornamentation that I had displayed in the room, so a particular color scheme and materials.

And now in my 30's as a man who can afford to own a few nice things I see what women saw when I was in my 20's and just cared about my entertainment station and my comfortable recliner. Funny how that works.

>>53475491
Because realistically they can be content living like that and that's all a man really needs. How many memes haven't you seen about guys using anything as a blanket? Guy just needs a small place with a roof to sleep and rest.
All that fancy furniture, decoration etc. is for women and children and when you receive guests to have a more homely place.
It's fine for a guy to have the bare minimum while he grinds and puts everything in becoming someone of importance.
If he doesn't and still wants to live eternally like that that's fine too, but so are the consequences

>>53475491

>>53475491
I went through a rough patch where I was getting really detached and miserable at how bland my place was so I rolled up blankets to look like bodies and huddled them in the corners. 1000% absolutely not an improvement. During the day it looked reasonably similar to a normal friend situation (e.g. any given sitcom like Big Bang Theory with a friend room or a socializing chamber) but at night I would freak the fuck out and psych myself into hearing coughs from each of the lumps. I got to the point where I was going to put underwear on them to 1. improve their human quality and 2. make them look less evil and amorphous but I chickened out at JCPenny and took them all apart when I got home. Learn to make peace with the simplicity of that photo. I'm trying to find tranquility in my space right now and attempting to fill it with my presence instead of my projections of entities that I've invented (still me but proxy thoughts)

I purchased a foldable mattress. The floor is my bed frame. I watch tv on my laptop. I have a desk and a chair. I sit on the floor to eat when I eat at home. The folding mattress makes it nice for weird sex positions with sluts 15 years younger than me. When I move I can fit everything in my bmw. It's just easier this way.

I live like this and have a three story house.
How do I learn to decorate? I myself am comfy but guests complain I have no furniture.

>>53481349
Yes, women are super messy, especially single childless ones.

>>53481436
the important thing is to decorate before your gf or wife moves into your house, because when she does it she has "increased the value of the house" and is entitled to 50% of it.

just look up minimalist interior designs, you can actually fill that empty space in your house without buying too much shit.

>>53477501

>>53481349
Yeah, you forgot the dildo

>>53475521
>not a lot of stuff when you move
I have basically everything I don't use daily neatly packed away in plastic containers. I'm not a minimalist, but I've moved enough times to know you don't need half the stuff you think you do. High end computer, sultan throne chair, golden bed for those sweet sweet dreams and a nice pair of wheel. + a garage....

I cannot imagine why I would ever choose to go live alone and take out some loan from shecklesburg or pay rent to steinsburg. I just dump my paychecks into investments and spend money on myself and my loved ones.

I swear its like I'm living in another universe where people actually have happy loving relationships with their family. When I ask normies they usually barely talk to their siblings or parents and moving out is just so you can fuck whores

I have a gaming chair in front of a flat screen, Im ashamed to say theres some other things around me but not loads.

>>53475512
yes every man must consume multiple tools and trinkets, even though he has neighbours and lives probably less than 30 feet from the next man each of them along with ever other man on the street need to consume as many unique items as possible even if they only get used once a year, like lawn mowers and hammers and allen key sets and drills etc, who needs community when you can consume

>>53476483
In 20 years he we probably make a fortune selling it to some nostalgic basedboy who couldn't afford such collection as a child. Most retarded shit can become expensive because of this mechanism.

>>53477501
I got huge plushie bears / dogs instead. It also feels nice to sleep while hugging them.

yup, i was dumb enough to "buy nice shit" for my apartment in my 20s, i've moved 3 times since then and each time i end up just selling half of my stuff because I realize how little you actually need

This is our generations beanie babies. My mom used to buy them, and it was pretty fun driving around with her looking for rare ones when I was really young. We actually had a beanie baby book that was published in 1996 that had pricings listed for them all, and they even had speculations on the price in ten years. So even common, everyday beanie babies would be $5 in 1996, then said in 2006 they would be worth $25. lol.
I just went and looked up some of the real old vintage ones and they seem to have held up. (Worth hundreds of dollars, not the thousands it was predicted to be in 2006 lol). You can buy 10x beanie babies for $20 on ebay.
Kind of weird to look at that aspect of my childhood, looks like a coming of age garage sale where your parents sell all of your shit.

>>53476632
1000x this
I understand people buying stupid toys like gundams and what not, models are okay, a little cringe if you have too many and are too obsessed but these stupid big head things are SO FUGLY why would anyone ever want them?

Honestly I see nothing wrong with living like >>53475491 except for trying to have sex/gf. Women can't stand empty spaces because their need to consume/show off of on Instagram. They're also conditioned to find minimalist living by men a sign of mental illness/incel behavior so they won't have sex with you unless you're truely Chad.

>>53484025
I think there is a personality type that really enjoys collecting things. The hook is you see a funky pop that relates to something you like. However it is 1 of 4 and you collect them. And you sort of get that dopamine hit each time you consoom. And then you see a batman movie you like and so then you want to buy a batman series.
We all need to step back and realize that most of us grew up in unprecedented exposure to marketing/commercials that probably warped our psyche in some horrible way. Although I don't own any funko pops, shit like magic cards would absorb all of my time, thoughts, energy, and money. It hits that fun aspect of collecting along with a little hit of gambling dopamine. It's really insidious what entertainment has become and how we've been hacked.
I recommend everyone watch the documentary "Century of the Self". It's world shattering once you realize how nefarious their intentions are in promoting consumerism as a way of subverting your identity.

Based anachronistic bicameral mind anon. People thousands of years ago used to keep their dead relatives in their house and even fed them and clothed them and moved them around the house, and they would even hear them talking (actual auditory hallucinations). This was normal until roughly 3000 years ago.
