    What's not to like? He's clean, neat, organized, clearly knows what he wants in life, interesting, funny, passionate & consistent with his hobbies, creative, tech savvy, geeky, which I like... ya, I can see many ppl liking him as a bf/husband. Just the minimalist part is a bit difficult. But hey, rooms n items can be divided n she can have her section & he'll only have to mind his part. It could work if both compromise a bit.
    Also, sincerely hope he sells his shirt & shopping bag. They are kinda cool.

    • @DaysAreForgottenBaby
      @DaysAreForgottenBaby 8 дней назад +32

      As a woman I find him attractive. I think he’s creative, independent and has very clear ideas. Having an empty home forces us to look at ourselves, whether we like it or not. I find it fascinating and I don’t think he’s lonely at all. His shirt is the best creation ever 😳

      I live in a 40 sq ft and with only 212 items total it indeed feels too big. Problem is, at least in EU, there is no other option. 20 sq ft or less houses are rarely available or non-existent, so you are forced to pay more rent. This is why people end up hoarding.

    • @bzomeful
      @bzomeful 19 дней назад +17

      Is it that the minimalism allows him to focus on the things that give him joy or that focusing on minimalism, in itself, is the principle thing that gives him joy?
      Or it just so happens that his three main passions (design, samurai theatre and gaming) don’t necessarily require a large amount of items at home or completely mesh with his love of minimalism. For example, if he was an avid golfer, he would probably be conflicted given a full golf set has tons of items (14 clubs, a bag, balls, tees, etc).
      I’m interested in where he keeps his tools and equipment (rented workshop space maybe?) especially if he is designing and making his own clothes and items.

Hat noch niemand bemerkt, das er auch einen Ring zum bezahlen trägt? Das T-Shirt ist unglaublich. Ich hoffe, er hat darauf vor der Sendung ein Patent darauf angemeldet. Wenn nicht, dann wird es bald über China zu kaufen sein. Weiterhin trainiert er seit seiner Kindheit das mit dem Schwert. Er ist ein Mensch, der perfekt das Prinzip des grauen Mannes beherrscht. Ich habe gerade sehr viel von ihm gelernt. Und bin dankbar dafür. ❤

    While minimalism may not appeal to everyone, the reality is that we often accumulate more possessions than we truly need. Addressing this tendency is a crucial first step toward freeing ourselves from unnecessary burdens and possessions, ultimately leading to a more simplified and fulfilling life.

    Putting aside he's a minimalist, he has a recognisable system to me. When I lived on my own, I can tell you, I learned so much, because you don't have time. I was studying and working. I had little time to organize and clean my home, not to mention do the groceries, laundry, shopping. Like him, I put my life in boxes. Everything is organized in boxes and baskets.
    I'm married now, I have decorations in our home for example, but they also have their boxes I just chuck them in when I need. This guy rotates clothes. We do that too. We have our going out clothes and the everyday clothes that we rotate (gym clothes included). We also go around thinking of ways to make our lives more effective/organized and how to get rid of things, but we are not minimalists.
