Yo Single Guys, why can't you accommodate?

Recently I posted about a "SINGLE" guy who wanted to meet me at a hotel because turns out he has a girlfriend...
Well, I have been finding a lot more unaccommodating single men, like tonight's contestant who said to me he can't because he lives with too many people...Huh..is it just me?
Since when was it an issue for a young single guy in London to bring a girl back to his place?? It's not like you have to stop and explain who I am and where you met me.. What happened to "yeah, she's a girl I know/met at the pub etc"
Another "single" male suddenly said that he had come home and his tenant had his daughter over so out of respect he can't have a girl stay. I did a bit of investigation- and yup he has a girlfriend- thank you facebook lol
A male friend said to me that any man who makes up an excuse why he can't have a girl over I should take as a sure sign that they're hiding something. He (39 and always horny) reckons there is no reason why a red blooded young male can't bring a girl back- unless it's very unique circumstances- he lives with his parents? Although, oh dear! His child is over that night.. his bathroom is being fitted..ermm something like that..
So what do you think? Should I take this as a definite sign? I'm staying with family at the moment while I look for a flat to buy so that's my excuse, but when I lived with housemates I often had guys round no problem. My housemates didn't care, and it's my business.
Hmmmmm...
For me, quite simply my place is horrendous and I really don't want to subject anyone to that. I'm a student and don't have a room at home any more, nor any garage space to keep my tools/bike/car & bike spares in and no study/living room to keep a bookshelf for all my books and computer equipment/tv/games etc. For now everything I own is crammed into a below-average sized bedroom and to get in/out of bed I have to shuffle things onto/off my chair because there's nowhere else to put them. The less time I have to spend in here the better, so there's no way in hell I'd bring someone back to my place. Even after a night out it's her place or somewhere else.
Found the same problems, MissVery,it's a big pet of ours, so we won't meet singles who can't accommodate even if they offer to shell out for a hotel. Probably means some really nice guys with legit excuses are getting passed over but you have to go with what you know is the usual reasons.

:thumbup:
There can, on occassions, be genuine reasons. I have a teenage daughter who stays with me a couple of times per week and I wouldn't think of playing whilst she's here and that usually writes off every other weekend. Some may misinterpret that.

Then he's talking bollocks basically :-)
I don't accommodate as my house is not in the kind of condition I would feel happy inviting a lady into...
Needs a good decorate all through but it's a slow process due to working patters and funds...
I am single and have nothing to hide....

Smacks of double standards to me. You're allowed an excuse but a single guy isn't?

Not quite double standards as I don't have a home to invite or un-invite someone into!!! What I'm saying is when I did have one I didn't have any excuse..
I am sure there are men with legitimate reasons, but so far, the excuse I get seems to be followed by a girlfriend revelation..siigh
I'm a single guy I share a house with family, if it was just me an my sister it wouldn't be a problem she knows I swing but she has a 8 yr old daughter and there is the elderly relative ok my dad who lives with us too. I've often considered getting a place of my own but practicality an circumstances dictate otherwise.
Simples really.....single guys can't accomodate cos their mrs won't let them!
O.K's, there can be another reason, but it's probably best to just make it a no go rule and thus avoid a situation which you would rather avoid.
I've house shared, we all brought lovers home. I've lived with friends and relatives, same thing, even if you're not gettin down and dirty, you can still introduce folks.
I've also lived in a house which was bein' renovated...."I won't sit down ta', i've got clean jeans on" one girl said....didn't stop her from comin back again.
I think you're a smart girl m1ss, I'm sure you'll get it right.

What about all thesingle ladies who don't accomodate? Surely most of them have homes they can invite someone to? Could it be the single ladies are married/have boyfriends? *gasp!* *shock* *horror*

Oh yes totally, i'm sure there are plenty!! But as it stands, I'm not looking to meet single ladies wink
Quote by Andy_Jules
It's given that some single males will not actually be single and yup one way of narrowing it down is their sometimes inability to be able to play from home but not all single blokes are fibbers and some of the reasons (note: not 'excuses" (even in this thread) I've heard before and are more common than you would think plausible.
But that is how it is and I would take them at face value, move along and not entertain them further. Not because of them and their reasons but because it's my/our preset rule, if a single bloke can't play from home I/WE aint playing. Yes I reckon I/we have missed out on some good fun with a genuine guy with genuine reasons but thems the breaks.
What I would not do is do what you appear to have and that is use the likes of 'facebook' by way of trying to authenticate a possible candidate. it's a bit too intrusive and maybe even a little desperate (my opinion)
j

I appreciate that it is something you wouldn't do..But I hope you also appreciate that I am SINGLE, meeting men online, and going off to be "private" with them ALONE.. And so yes, I will do any little check I can to see who I am meeting...
Bit one sided isn`t it?
I`m sure for the same reasons you cannot accom a great deal of single guys will also be in that same categorie, so why is it ok for you but for single guys it makes them "suspicious"
I used to be able to accom but then my circumstances changed a great deal and if I was still meeting there is no way I would be able to have anyone back where I live now but belive me that does not make me secretly married/engaged/attached- delete as appropriate.
Also there are quite a few of us that started out "SINGLE" meeting men "ALONE" and believe me you get a feeling for who the good ones are and who the players are
This is a pretty common theme and I stopped entertaining anyone who couldn't accom as it always worked out that they'd lied about their status. Now, I don't give two shits if you're married or not and you can lie to your wife all you like - that's your problem. But lie to me, especially when there's no reason to since I don't have an issue with meeting attached people, then I am not interested.
This followed an incident where I met a single male, who then admitted he was still married but separated, got to his house and not only was there his wedding photo on display but the dresser is full of perfume and make up and even her slippers are still next to the fucking bed!! lol

Ive become suspicious because so far all 4 of my potential "single" meets (3 from here one from another site) have come out as having partners. So thats my own perception right now..Not arguing that women can't be equally deceiving..
Glad you haven't had any bad experiences meeting alone, but still, why should i trust someone I've never met just because he "seems" genuine virtually. What's the harm in being extra careful? You just never know..
There are many reasons why someone may not be able to accommodate, be they single guys, girls or couples.
With the current economic climate, lots if singles simply can't afford to move out anymore and many are moving back in with parents but maybe don't want to admit to that.
Some single guys have kids, I know it's recognised as the norm that kids live with their mum but it's not a rule. We have come across (not literally) a few single guys who can't accommodate due to having full custody of a child. I wouldn't accommodate if my kids were here and wouldn't get accused of being dishonest and not would a single girl, why should a guy?
Bit of a 'tar them all with the same brush' cos they're all cheating bastards' single guy bashing thread to me!! rolleyes

But excuses I'm getting are "i live with people", "my housemate's friend is over this weekend" etc.. So that's what's got me thinking dunno

I'll go for that and yuppers I can relate to security, I have in the past had a very bad experience when meeting alone (what seems like such a long time ago now) with my own naivety/stupidity resulting in about as bad as an experience as you can get but that was then this is now and I would not pay any attention to the likes of Facebook for verification of another, in fact fake profiles seem to often used as a way of convincing others that a person is on the level when in reality nothing could be further from the truth.
The below link giving an insight as to some of the reasons for such cloaking.

Natural instincts are what I now rely on, both mine and my man's, outwardly I've toughened up, no longer driven by the thirst for out of the box filthy minded fun with similar minded individuals but instead preferring to still have the same fun with the same people but to get to that point all of my/our preset rules have without exception have to be ticked and which inevitably means that some good, honest, decent people don't make the cut, our loss, we'll live with it.
Thanks for the link I shall have a read through smile
I try to follow my gut feeling and be sensible all the time.
I don't rely on anything online as a safety measure, but I will still look and see what's out there..
Maybe it's just not my lucky month and i keep coming across pretend single guys which has heightened my suspicions,but I will still remain on the hunt for nice genuine men. People can do what they want with whomever they want. I just personally try not to knowingly engage with attached folk..
I have to side with other comments that they are either going to be;
Married or have GF
Live with parents
A 'playa'
Either that or no one buys a house anymore.. oh no wait, that's probably a valid argument. If they have house mates though i really don't see bringing someone 'home' an issue - unless it's written into tennacy agreements.... is it? wink
I think a lot of it is down to the shock factor of fantasy meeting reality, the realisation that someone want to move on from endless emails and crap picture swapping.
We have kids, we can accommodate... here's the clever bit - you don't do it in front of them.
Quite honestly all these claims of not seeing married men or married women because they are unfaithful or live with their dog etc... WTF? Who cares about whether they are being unfaithful or who they live with - what is it you? There moral code is not your business and neither are the reasons they can't accommodate.
Different of course if you are looking for a relationship with all the stuff that goes with that - but then again this is probably the wrong site for that.
There are plenty of men and women who can't accommodate - easy - shag them at your place or find someone who can accommodate, anyone else is probably full of shit and not worth bothering with.
See now I was about to agree with Lost........

So, I guess I'd go with things such as can you call them any time you I like or do they ignore your calls. Do they come online at certain times, like when the Mrs is in the bath or at work. Are they relaxed to chat to or worrying they are going to get caught. Would they give you a land line number for a chat or something.
I think in general, I would edge towards No but thats not always the case confused

I would hate to be cheated on so I don't want to encourage or help someone cheat on a partner.
It is not about their reasons or excuses, I don't want to know how they justify to themselves or others. That is not my concern.
Purely a simple thing, I won't take part in hurting someones partners feelings if they get caught out.

The thing is we all "seem genuine virtually" and most guys have to trust that you aren`t a bunny boiler too.
The excuse that you live with other people seems a good enough excuse to me, blimey you can`t have jump off the wardrobe, chain me to the bedpost sex with others in the house, or atleast I can`t

So "I live with people" etc couldn't mean "I live with my parents" then?
I agree with the advice (can't quote cos I don't know how to do it on my phone) about being contactable/ignoring calls though. Can't answer calls if you're partner is around hey! Although checking too much may make you look like a stalker/bunny boiler.
Being genuinely single doesn't mean they'll actually turn up though!

!

It could..but for the past month it hasnt.. I never really paid much attention to not being able to accommodate until recently when I've come across those 4 incidents..
are you talking about guys that advertise they can accom but then wont/cant or are you just unappy that the ones you want to meet dont list that they can accom and wont, if its the second then all i can say is 'winge winge winge'
there are many reasons why people dont accom and in a british society where it was commonplace that when you became 18ish you would leave your parents abode there are reasons why people dont admit to this which is i would say a big chance with lots of people now but also if you meet up with people from diffrent backgrounds other than british it is fairly commonplace, but there are other reasons as mentioned by a previous poster that they live with or have to care for family and dont want to introduce their private life into the home where there will be too many questions.

I'm not sure why it's not coming across clearly- I know there are many reasons! I am not being presumptuous, I'm not looking at profiles and jumping to conclusion, i'm telling you my recent experience where it turned out they had girlfriends..not a whinge, a fact.
So that's why it's made me wonder...
We see unable to accommodate in people as a reason to avoid .......
If they don't have a reason why in thier profiles lol Is that too much to ask, many people cannot accommodate for genuine reasons, so why not tell us the reason "live in Police/army/airforce shared accommodation", live with family, have young child at home as am part of 1 parent family, my home is a shithole and I cannot afford 50 quid to make a nice room available (but will pay for hotel room) wont accommodate on first meet in case your a crazy stalker (quite wise for singles), we accept that there can be valid reasons why people cannot accommodate what we cannot accept is why they cant write 2 lines explaining it, many couples profiles explain if they cannot accommodate.
I knew before posting the general tone of response that would come from this thread and I'm not surprised. Generalising your attitude towards a large group of people just because of a small box being ticked or un-ticked on a profile is pretty narrow minded. Just because London busses are red doesn't mean everything red is a London bus...
