Men are difficult

50% of people are men. 50% are women. I've lived in this flat for 5 years and 100% of the people who have caused problems are men. I don't want to live here anymore...

  1. Very quickly after moving in I became aware of a horrendous stench and my flat filled with blue bottles every time I opened the window. Turns out a man was living in self neglect and squaller.
  1. Self neglect man was taken into care, so we could all use our balconies and open our windows again. so the neighbouring man enjoyed his new found freedom to spend 24/7 smoking weed, singing and rapping on his balcony. It was unbearable. Man 2 threatened me when I complained.
  1. The next man decides he didn't like the cannabis smoke, from man 2, so he started burning copious amounts of incense, which I started having as allergic reaction to. I tried to discuss this nicely with man 3, but he reached the conclusion that I was actually in love with him and was angry that he had rejected me and was pretending to have an allergic reaction.
  1. Man 4 turned up at my door with a kitten calendar and some organic vegetables and thought he could save me.
  1. Man 5 turned up, he's a drug dealer, noticed I didn't go out much, so set up a camera to monitor my movements and followed me everywhere. Literally stalking me. I reported this to the police but they said it wasn't a police matter.

I'm trying to move out now. Is anyone aware of any flats that you can rent where men are not allowed to live? I mean this could have been a really nice home for me!

@NordicwithTeen yes, I am drunk so I didn't notice! These infuriating naughty men have driven me to drink.

@NordicwithTeen whoops! But I think you can still understand my point. I mean, how many women stand on their balconies smoking weed and rapping?!

Um, if you use bullet points in an OP it is usual to notice when the numbers are all the same...
YABU.
Plus I think actually women are 52% of the population, but I might be wrong.

I know. But 5 years of stress. If we took the men out of the equation, all the women who live here seem to be able to do so without causing an unbearable stench, a blue bottle infestation, singing, rapping and smoking weed 24/7, developing delusional beliefs that their neighbours are in love with them, drug dealing, stalking and threatening behaviour.

Aibu to think it would be nice to live in a block of flats without men?

Not sure what you AIBU is but just move. Why come on here asking? You've not even given an area, yeah i might know a flat but it could be in Anerdeen while you are in John o Groats.

Just move.

What’s your AIBU? Women can be difficult too, and your sample size is much too small to be representative.
