He’s Moving Out Of His Mom’s House And Feels Like His Attractiveness Will “Skyrocket” After Getting His Own Place
This 22-year-old guy currently lives at home with his mother. But he recently found an apartment that is pretty cool and plans to move out in the near future.
And for him, this change is exciting for one main reason.
For context, he detailed how he has never really been great with women. Sure, some ladies are attracted to him.
“But I don’t have much experience, and I usually end up getting dumped or not even asking them out,” he revealed.
Thankfully, his dating track record has improved over the last few months since he has been frequenting the gym and going out to socialize more.
However, now that he is getting his own place, he thinks that will seriously boost his dating game.
“Why do I have the burning feeling that my attractiveness is gonna skyrocket once I have my own place?” he asked.
That’s why he recently turned to Reddit to find out if other peoples’ perceived attractiveness increased once they finally moved out and started living solo.
Apparently, he believes that his attractiveness will increase for two reasons. First, he will be able to bring whoever he wants home without having to answer to his parents. Second, he feels like simply having his own space will just make him more confident.

Now, some people did agree that his attractiveness would increase– but not significantly “skyrocket.”
“No, it’s not going to skyrocket. You’re still the same guy, just with his own place now, which makes you maybe 5% more attractive. But it will make your dating life a lot more convenient and efficient compared to living at home,” said Norwegiandoggo.
However, others claim that women look for other traits in men that aren’t necessarily tied to living independently.
“Women are attracted to men with a growth mindset. Career, finances, physical fitness, mental fitness, and emotional fitness,” explained 00pegasus5g.
“There are men with apartments who are duds. There are men who live at home who have this mindset. Whatever your case may be, you have to own your life and not be insecure about things,” they continued.
“You’re 22 years old, so not much is expected of you in terms of money and belongings. But there definitely are expectations when it comes to the personal goals you have for yourself.”
Others agreed that, right now, he is pretty young– meaning that his attractiveness in the eyes of other women his age will probably not change much.
“Especially at his age, it’s kinda normal for people to be living at home. So, at best, it’s nice, but it doesn’t change your personality nor your physical attractiveness,” opined FMIMP.
“I am in his age range, and none of my friends have the criteria that a dude should have his own apartment. It’s just not part of how we choose our boyfriends.”
Still, some people did point out how having boosted confidence for any reason will always have an impact on people’s perceived attractiveness. So, if getting his own place gives him a self-esteem boost, then so be it.
“Pretty much anything you do that leads to you exuding more natural and genuine confidence will have an impact on how people perceive you and feel around you. There’s a lot of social currency earned in living alone or just not with family in the Western world,” pointed out Smaketalk.
“So, doing that impacts how you see yourself and, in turn, the energy you put out there.”
If you have moved out of your parent’s house, do you feel like your attractiveness “skyrocketed?” Or do you agree that it just gives you more confidence, which can lead to more perceived attractiveness?
