Who wants to come and live in my lovely imaginary women’s commune with me?

Having read the posts about the disgusting 35 year old porn shagger, other posts about useless husbands who dont know how to clean up after themselves & having been ill & then come downstairs to a shit hole of a house, I have decided that most (all) men are unwiped arseholes.

I want to go and live in a lovely community of women. Do you want to come along with me? We can all have our own home but lovely shared spaces where we come to help & support each other and make each other laugh. We can have a screening room where we watch reruns of pride and prejudice. Also a weights/gym/yoga centre whereby we invite specially selected instructors. We could start with that skipping guy from instagram? (see note below).

If men must visit, sigh, they must pass the round table of the wisest amongst us. Anyfucker can lead. Fail this test & they exit through a trapdoor. Or a catapult.

Who is in?

Kinda like mumsnet actually

Strange to read all the negative points about all female company.

My female friends are one of the great joys of my life. I would be much worse off without their support, humour, wisdom and kindness. Never any competing to be top dog.

Meadowfinch · 18/02/2024 16:39

I'm in.

I'll cut the lawn and look after the garden, without being told I'm doing it wrong. Happy with P&P and wine too. 🙂

Just from the title alone, I'm out. Can't think of anything worse than living with women. Shudders

Living with a large group of men, maybe?

SiobhanSharpe · 18/02/2024 16:43

So, it seems that so far we would need
(most importantly)
-individual quarters to include our own
bedrooms/kitchen/bathroom/living room

Then communal areas, to include
-a library
-a bar/wine room
-yoga/exercise studio
-cafe/restaurant with its own kitchens

-gardens
-small cinema
-communal lounge(s)
-craft studio for painters, potters etc.
-guest rooms or suites
It’s getting quite … big, isn’t it?

I think it would be hormonal hell. Girls at school were constantly bitching and back stabbing. I'd rather live alone or with my beloved DH and kids.

I've had lovely friends who I struggled to live with

I think it's the living together That's a worry rather than spending any time with other women.

Of course it’s totally flawed idea but it’s imaginary my friends. So I’m imagining no bitchiness and imagining I’d never miss my husband.

It can definitely be in an Italian villa. Swimming Pool and wine room essential.

Oooh- we could branch out and have pregnancy (if it goes well with the skipping guy) and early motherhood wings. No one would have to lift a finger if suffering with hyperemesis or other debilitating pregnancy issues.

Could there also be a menopausal rage wing, where anyone can go simply to have a good rant just because they want to?

I love my female friends but I wouldn't want to live with them.

tuvamoodyson · 18/02/2024 17:03

I’ve got lovely friends and I’m blessed to have them in my life, don’t want to live with them though!

pinneddownbytabbies · 18/02/2024 17:11

Will there be cats?

Iloveshihtzus · 18/02/2024 17:11

Sad to read all the hate for other women on this thread. I’ve already agreed with some female friends that if we end up widowed or divorced, we will live close by if not together, to support each other in our old age.

My DM and my dear aunts, had very close female friends who were there in sickness and in health, to the very end. I hope my friends and I are blessed to live long lives and to support each other when the DC are grown and moved away.

And from an evolutionary and psychosocial viewpoint, it is much healthier for older women to live in groups together, (like apartment complexes), with social and emotional support, than to live in a nuclear couple setting.

Hopefully not

WeeOrcadian · 18/02/2024 17:20

I'm packing my crochet, be there in 10. Crack open the rosé!

PuppyMonkey · 18/02/2024 17:22

Could it be fully catered please? I don’t fancy having to cook.

ssd · 18/02/2024 19:06

I've got great friends. But i don't want to live with them. Same as i wouldn't live with a man who was an arsehole.

Who would?

Bloomingdaffs · 18/02/2024 19:10

I don't craft
Hate P & P
Not fussed about yoga and exercise

So it's a no from me.

TwangBoob · 18/02/2024 19:13

I've been saying for a few years now the next stop for me is a nunnery. Pottering around quietly contemplating life, growing vegetables and doing good deeds with my sisters - yes please.

cerisepanther73 · 18/02/2024 19:14

A magical cleaning Robot 🤖 sounds good idea 👍

cerisepanther73 · 18/02/2024 19:15

A suggestion box 📦 placed possibly in the living room

Missingmyusername · 18/02/2024 19:16

I have a dog, so that’s me out 🤣

Deadringer · 18/02/2024 19:17

Sounds lovely

BadCovers · 18/02/2024 19:21

I’m planning this with a group of female friends for when we’ve outlived our male partners and husbands. We’re pooling our money to buy somewhere gorgeous and lots of help.

Badtard · 18/02/2024 19:25

Yes, yes and yes

But.

"Unwiped Arsehole" has me howling.

It's my new insult. Thanks OP!!

RichPetunia · 18/02/2024 19:29

I'm in. Boxes packed and ready to go. Can we live somewhere near the sea? Can anyone make a mean chicken biryani? 😄💐
