Some people think they can always get what they want. Many of us indeed have moments where we feel entitled to get exactly what we desire.

It's a common human tendency to want things to go our way, whether it's in our personal lives, relationships, or even at work. After all, we all have our unique desires, dreams, and goals that make life exciting and fulfilling.

It's natural to strive for happiness and success, and wanting things to align with our wishes is a part of that journey. But some people just go overboard.

They might develop a sense of entitlement that borders on unrealistic expectations. This kind of entitlement can lead to a skewed perspective, where they believe that the world owes them everything they desire without putting in the necessary effort or consideration.

Just take a look at this Choosing Beggar — a guy who specifically specified that he wants a female roommate. The post looks attractive at the beginning, especially since it's in a good neighborhood.

The guy is a 27-year-old professional and says in the post that he's barely home. He specified how much the rent is and where the condo is located.

But there's a catch. The rent would depend on the looks of the female roommate.

The more attractive she is, the less rent she'll have to pay. Conversely, if she's 1 on a scale of 1 to 10, she will have to pay $950. The rent this guy posted is $450.

Plus, he won't accept any guests except for girls with looks he considers 7 out of 10. He would also ask for drugs if the roommate has some good ones.

Over at the Choosing Beggars subreddit, this was shared by a user.

Seeking female roommate: rent will be on a sliding scale depending on your looks

At least he's helping people from the streets. /s

For the sake of politeness.

Pretty sure lots of women out there would decline despite the "perk."

What if this guy has hidden cameras installed in the room?

It's very possible.

Some people can't believe there are people out there who would actually post this.

He could've just said he wants to hire a prostitute.

If he's rich, why post this? He can have the women that he wants.

It's a sad reality, but some people would be baited into this.

He's looking for a roommate version of an arm candy. A Redditor dubs it the "apartment candy."

Others are in utter disbelief that people have the nerve to post this thing, while some find humor in the absurdity of the guy and his offers and demands.

Then there are people who would never be desperate enough the accept the terms, while others will take the bait.

This post is a striking example of how entitlement can manifest in unexpected and sometimes even comical ways. It's fascinating to observe the wide range of reactions it elicits from people.
