An Australian man has been applauded for his honest housemate advert, which demanded no eye contact or boring conversations.
The man posted the ad in the Perth Buy And Sell Western Australia Facebook group, where he admitted the only reason he had made the decision to rent out a room (even though he "really really" didn't want to) was so that he could "save for a motorbike."
He then went on to list the traits he was looking for in a potential housemate. These included someone who smokes outside, "no paedophiles" and a preferably introverted roommate who largely kept to themselves.
However, he would consider computer hackers and people who are in and out of the country on work trips.

"I really really don’t want a housemate, especially someone who talks too much or who has lots of visitors," he wrote, according to news.com.au.
"Prefer someone who just wants to use the room to set up a lan for computer hacking 9-5 or FIFO workers 4/1.
"No eye contact or boring ‘polite’ casual conversations."
They also shouldn't have too many visitors popping in and out, the man wrote.
The successful candidate, or should we say housemate, would be paying $165 (£93) a week for a large room 15 minutes away from the city with high ceilings, internet and access to a large garden with a lemon and orange tree.
They could also choose whether to receive the room furnished or unfurnished.
Despite the large list of demands, Facebook users found the post refreshingly honest and praised him for his transparency.
"Best room to rent ad ever. Expectations and boundaries laid up front," one woman wrote.
This comes as a nanny shares the "bonkers list of responsibilities" she was handed at a job interview.
Hollis Jane Andrews, who now works as an actor, says she was considered for the role with a family in 2013 and shared the two sheets of requirements set out on yellow paper she would have been expected to follow.
The intense routine demanded the children were never unhappy or bored, and that she would also have to 'magically transform' into a cleaning machine while they napped and complete a 14 step bullet point list of jobs before they woke up.
Take a look at the list here.
