I wonder how much of the gender divide just comes from social conditioning. Most women I know have been told from a young age to plan to grow their family and add people to a household, but most of the guys are expected to just exist until it's time and to then find a house big enough for (???) people. That being said, I think 2-Bed/2-Bath is the sweet spot for most people.

most single people, or most couples? i'd agree with the latter.

fwiw most women I meet who say this are anti-kid. but they still want large homes. I don't get it, but we're not compatible anyway. I'd rather have a kid and live in a small place... sinking all my money into a large childless home is just weird to me.

2b/2b (or 1.5 bathrooms) hits a sweet spot because it can give you/a spouse a private bedroom and bathroom, a separate bathroom for guests or a child/spouse to use, and a second room that can be a bedroom, guestroom, office or hobby room. It's also a layout that can work well at 900-1100 sqft, especially if it's not a ranch layout with a hallway eating usable space.

yeah i could use a second bathroom sometimes, but it's not that big of a deal. i do have a hallway that i suppose cuts into my space, but it's basically the playroom for the pets.

I dunno, it seems in my demographic people expect 1500-2000 sq ft for two people, or 2500+ for a family. I've also been in other people's 1/2beds that are quite nice and spacious and listened to them complain about how awful and small they were.

i am considering buying a house, but really for the yard, not so much more housing space, and also to just move to a cheaper and more vibrant place.
