Looking for a bohemian apartment share in Morningside Heights, Manhattan? The average rent for an apartment in Manhattan, in an area close to sought after Columbia University, is over $3,500 per month. So, what do you need to do to secure a discount that leaves you paying just one fifth of that amount?
One two-bedroom apartment share has been put on the market for $630 per month, with the only proviso being that the new lodger be another platonic social nudist.
‘Social nudism’ is the practice of living everyday life without clothing, whether this be taking a nudist holiday or living everyday life without clothing, wherever possible. Those who practice social nudism claim it not to be exhibitionist, voyeuristic or sexual in nature.
The advert reads:
“I’m ONLY looking for another platonic social nudist to share my two-bedrooms apartment.
I’ve got no racial, ethnic, cultural, or religious hang-ups. None will be allowed or tolerated as a potential roommate. No microaggressions.
If you’ve made it this far in the ad, I take it you’ve got an open mind too.
The atmosphere/philosophy of the apartment does not allow for overnight guests. No couples. No pets.
I’m looking for another creative, socially conscious male nudist who is keen on saving money and community-building, while focusing more time and energy on enjoying life.
An ideal situation would be a minimum three-month signed sublease contract. Let’s test the waters and see how it goes. If all goes well, the initial agreement can be extended in three-month terms, and so on.
I am ONLY looking for another male social nudist roommate accustomed to communal/co-op/intentional community living. No exceptions. To repeat.
Please do not respond if you do not know what social nudism is, accept that I am only looking for a male roommate who lives the lifestyle, especially if you have never lived and been socialized with others.
Please do not contact me if you’re undecided about the nudism/naturist lifestyle.
I’m accustomed to sharing an apartment and rooms with other social nudists. I’m seeking a responsible, respectful, neat, and laid back roommate. Your sexual orientation and preferred pronouns are your business and wouldn’t be an issue for me as I’m only seeking a roommate.
No recreational drug users and cigarette smokers.
For those who “keep to themselves”, great. However, I’m not looking for a ghost tenant who haunts the apartment and drains energy.
If you’re just looking for a place to shower and sleep, and not be an active presence in the apt, please stop reading here and choose another ad.
Potential nudist roommate MUST be fully-vaccinated and have booster shot with immunization card as proof. No exceptions.
It is a full apartment share with platonic social nudists only.
In your response, you must declare: that you have: “read and fully understand you are ONLY seeking another male nudist roommate. I hereby attest that I’m an at-home nudist ready to live as such with you.”
Good luck with your application.
