I like reading about RV-living and micro-apartments in a similar way as I liked reading Into the Wild. There's lots to like, but I'd never actually do it. I just don't think I could get comfortable with the sacrifice of comfort and safety (even if it is only a perceived reduction in comfort and safety). And plus my wife would divorce me.

Try a live aboard sailboat rather than the land-bound cousins. Some women find a dude owning a boat is an aphrodisiac. Most male boat owners have the inaccurate belief that percentage is 100% (its probably only about 50%). Source: I sailed a lot as a teen (although not a live aboard).

The funniest part of the whole situation, that I've observed, is the women see this guy spending like a drunken sailor on the boat, assuming that means 1) he's wealthy, I mean obviously he owns a 29.9999 foot yacht 2) he can spend money on me the same way as he spends on the boat. And usually it does not work out that way.
