There's another name for what he is looking for. It's definitely not a roommate.

44-Year-Old Is Looking For Female Roommate In Her Twenties Who Is Willing To Share Bed With Him And Must Also Pay $400 For The Privilege

The housing crisis and rent injustice affect everyone all over the world. It's a sad state of affairs how we allow landlords to charge us a ridiculous amount of money to rent a room no bigger than a shoebox.

If you hate breathing in your own carbon dioxide, the only way to afford a bigger place is to share it with roommates. Slumming it with one too many roommates is no longer an exclusive experience for young adults fresh out of school.

Take this 44-year-old guy, for example. He went old school and printed out a bunch of "roommate wanted" ads and plastered them wherever possible.

His ad definitely worked, as it caught the attention of a few thousand Redditors. Owen was looking for a female roommate in the age range between 18 to 25.

She must be single, of course. Owen's ideal roommate must be willing to cook and clean for both of them.

They will comfortably share a one-bedroom apartment. The roommate is free to sleep on the couch until such time that she can get used to sleeping on the same bed as Owen.

He doesn't want anyone who has a pet, who drinks and does drugs. This roommate isn't also allowed to have male friends.

Privacy is a thing of the past since Owen doesn't subscribe to the concept. You are not allowed to close doors for whatever reason.

For the low, low price of $400/month, will you be Owen's roommate?

His more specific preferences are written in the contract, silly. I bet there's a monthly weigh-in or something.

I would so want to believe that this is a prank posting, but, sadly, the world is full of people like Owen. They deliberately seek out struggling women to take advantage of them.

I fervently wish that no one inquired about Owen's roommate ad. It's a lot of steps to take just to be abused and live in constant danger.

Like what that one commenter said, this is probably a prank. In reality, from the stories women share, Owen fits the criteria for men who have nothing better to do than objectify and take advantage of women.

Owen's ad gave a lot of Redditors a laugh and managed to creep out most of them as well. Is it too much to hope that someone called the number and gave Owen a dose of reality?
