Best apartment style for a single male?

I live in a metropolitan area of the southern Midwest. Even in the big city....I can find 1000sq ft "apartments" that are floors of older rehabbed historic houses for less than $600 a month in middle/less affluent areas.

What do you want to achieve with your flat?
Do you want a place that you can bring girls to?
Do you want a place to host groups? How many people at one time?

I guess mainly girls. But friends that will supposedly visit from Europe too. I am getting myself back into shape, rebuilding my credit and improve my overall lifestyle. There is a junior college right near me. I am thinking about maybe relocating to a place right near there. I am going to take night classes and get into dating people from school or aim for women I see at the stores or other places near here. There are a lot of women right here in the air force. Wal-Mart is right across from the college and a lot of single women in the early evening shopping.

My 2 cents - I'd go with a studio. If you're after college girls, anything better than a dorm room will be fine. I'd try to get it close to the local bars or restaurants, women change their minds quickly during the trip from a bar to your bed.

Studios offer the added distinct advantage of having the girl already be in your bedroom when she gets there.

I appreciate the info. It always helps to have other perspectives. I can afford a little higher rent. But I just wonder how many single guys have a really nice place and you Mack on some younger early/middle 20s girl that works at the gas station across town and your bring her into a nicer place. ;')
I might get a discoball too. But I dunno if they would find that very funny? I know that I would.

Sometimes I see prices like this and it makes me really upset
Depending on your age too it might be worth it to have roommates for the social aspect, plus saving money, even in a dirt cheap place like that

Ok Ringo. I did not see it in my search results. I use my phone.
Sonoma: having roommates (family) got me partially into the situation that I am now. I am early thirties and my cousin and family members cannot or do not pay their fair share and think because some one makes more than they do...the higher earner should pay more of the rent.
I allowed this a time or two...but I ended it after it went beyond a favor. Family will try tofuck you over just the same as a chick will. So, help people out sparingly, if and when you can. But do not support anyone but yourself.

Where do you live and what do you want to do with the apartment? How much space do you need? What do you want its location to be?
If you just want to get girls over, you don't need much more than a studio. If you want your logistics to be better, say within 10 minutes of major venues, you might need to pay more.

A smaller place is much easier to keep spotlessly clean, as long as you have a relatively minimalist lifestyle and your place isn't cluttered with too much junk.

I will be looking into an apartment or house in a major city here in the UK sometime in the near future. Still not sure on which one to go with.

As a rule of thumb.
20 yr olds like that you have a place they can let themselves go.
25 yr olds like that you have a place they feel comfortable.
30 yr olds like that you have a place they want to live in.

The one thing that definitely sets all places apart for me is this: a consistent theme.
I keep things either black, white or gray. Most people have a collection of things that make up their house they accumulated randomly over a period of time. Different genres, different eras, different styles, all clashing together to make a monument to compromise in a man's lifestyle. I guess it's fine if you're looking to have an ordinary place. Personally I prefer something a little more defined.
I try to keep a theme of black, white, and gray. The three colors work well together and make the whole place seem much more intentional and well planned. Sheets, pillows, blankets, rugs, etc... Doesn't matter the combination of the three colors, it goes well together and looks thought out.
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.

Get an open plan studio / lofe type setup. Get one of those dip/pullup bars, couch and a bed. Keep it simple.
