    Default Finding A Sane Roommate in the Same Industry

    So, I've been trying to find a roommate who is either working in the same industry as me or is at least not judgmental/more accepting than my last roommates. I want to quit my day job and cam/pro domme exclusively but I can't afford to do that right away without having a roommate.

    How do you find a roommate that is sane? I don't drink regularly. I don't do drugs. I have quite a few model friends who come by for content trade/girl-girl cam shows. I have 2 kittens. I'm probably the most boring person ever other than my fetish lifestyle and shooting/camming stuff.

    Everyone I talk to about potentially being a roommate is... well. Judgemental. Not in the industry. 24/7 party types.

    It's damn frustrating. I want to cam/pro domme full time, but right off the bat I can't do so unless I've got someone to split costs with.

    Any ideas on how to find someone?

    Hey Hayden! *runs over to twitter and follows you back*

    I'm pretty familiar with Fetlife and I just joined CollarMe a couple weeks ago (hate their ancient layout), I've just been a bit hesitant on using either one since I have a lot of fans/creepers/whatever who seem to get off on driving me insane and creeping my posts. I know I need to use the block button a bit more often...

    Camming or filming in front of vanilla folks is/was the worst! I got a place on my own, which I love, but I can only really keep it because I work a full time day job, which I want to quit to cam full time.

    blarg!

    hmmm....start trawling the gay bars and maybe find a wild-out-there roommie? The person doesn't have to be gay-- I'm just trying to think of a physical location you could visit and more than likely find someone who's not going to have a giant judgmental stick up their arse.
    Ungoogle yourself:


    Also, now offering phone sexins!

    dancer roommates are great if you can find one that is....i like to be in my own space. this is why i'm so quick to block someone on facebook or anything like that. when i'm in my bed, i tolerate no bullshit.
    dancer housing actually was great for me. i LOVED it. but we had house rules.

    also, you might look for a male roommate. this actually turned out to be the most comfortable situations i've ever been in. i didn't have to worry about him using my shit, he had really good hair products, he was always really....i don't know. i would walk around the apartment naked and he would avert his eyes. it was very cute.

    the biggest issue: i get cold easily and men are always fucking warm. this ended up being the dealbreaker. weird, right?

    but otherwise, i really liked having him as a roommate.

    Rent is so cheap in Orlando - if I was still there I'd room with ya Hun! Can you not shop around and find a place you. An afford on your own? It's just.... I know it's going to be hard to find someone decent to live with. Like you said, they're almost always party, party, party types who are also super judgmental (hypocritical much?).

    Maybe try Facebook marketplace? Lots of 'roomie wanted' ads on there, and you can creep them a little too to gauge their personality.

    Good luck!

    As is, I pay $610/month rent, which is awesome, but without my day job, I can't maintain that. Well, I could, but at least at first I would need to have someone to split rent, power & interwebs with since I have never cammed full time and don't know how well I would do. I don't want to get into something I can't maintain

    Definitely check out some of the sex worker groups on FetLife. You could post on one of those as well as regional groups seeking a camming-friendly roommate and probably find some good options. Best of luck to you!

    Wow I've had the same problem over the years. It's def easier IMO when you live with somebody who needs the same out of life. I think most of us dancers have to work hard overall and we aren't given anything. My roommate now is about to start dancing and I kind of got her into it because it's something she has always wanted to do. But we relate in a lot of ways.

    But so many times in the past I've had problems because other girls don't realize the lifestlye I live. Coming home late from work, sleeping in late because I was up all night, working weird schedules in a row so maybe I don't have time to clean up etc.

    I had to go through some roommates to find a good one. My first roommate who worked at the same club as me was a crazy alcoholic. Then I moved in with another girl who I became friends with and we stayed roommates until I met my boyfriend who i live with now. I loved having a coworker as a roommate. Carpool, share clothes, share work outfits, share makeup, etc. Made work a lot of fun too because my best friend was there and we made bank together. I miss those days </3

    If I were you, I'd check out basement bachelor type apartments. Your own space, I mean people live above you, but they don't come down and everything.
    You could always just check out apartments that have bedrooms in the basement or away from the main rooms or other bedrooms, if that makes sense.

    Other than that, post online, say you want a non judgmental roommate, just list what you're looking for, and hope someone replies!
