It is my fifth night homeless. I say homeless, I have shelter - that of a cheap hotel - but it's proving difficult to secure fixed accommodation. By principle I will not consent to intrusive checks, provide my NI number or tell a stranger my annual income, even my name is non of anyone's business - what a mess this is - this is all before forking out unrealistic rent prices.

Another thing I've noticed is that the gender of those in house shares is 99% male. Why is there a disproportionate number of males renting alone to females? If a society is generally a 50:50 gender split, isn't this strange? I think it is strange, but I can't explain it. All I know is that I am another 'single male' fending for themselves, another statistic.

Not really sure what to do now. I've just turned 31, no family, no friends or ties of any kind, I am a civil engineer by education and trade - out of contract currently so, 'unemployed'. To my name I have a £1500 car, a car full of belongings and about £24000 in the bank.

Can anyone offer some pointers, words of wisdom or general noise to give me advice or inspiration? I am very much directionless at this point.
 
So you want to rent somewhere, not tell them your name or any other details including how likely you are to be able to pay rent consistently?

I wouldn't rent to you either. Judging from your post assuming it is accurate, you have no real issues which aren't yourself. £24k in the bank for instance is substantially higher than most out of work and in work people.

I think this is your issue. If you want to live in society (which includes renting) you have to play by it's rules.

Your alternative is to drop off grid and become a full blown spoon whittler.
What have you done previously? You must have lived somewhere?

A mess entirely of your own making, stop being needlessly protective / paranoid / whatever about some completely inconsequential details and rent somewhere. You're not even close to homeless.

I mean Jesus Christ, what do you expect people to say if you won't even tell them your bloody name?

No friends or family and homeless? What about this post where your Father (incidentally a week before that you said no family, too and then that post surfaced) is offering you a substantial sum towards the deposit??

Is there an intermediate thread to cover any split with, or loss of, OP's father and possibly another covering a possible gambling addiction and loss of OP's inheritance?
 
I'm gonna go troll/attention seeker after reading the OP's previous threads. Seems like he signed up to ask weird random questions of which he always has the complete opposite of a logical thought process into the situation he is asking about.

Edit: But I will offer some actual advice to the OP which will be generally related to all his threads - see a Psychiatrist.
