Why women are paying to live in tiny homes in a 'no men allowed' Texas commune: 'I've had all the best sex I'm going to have'

In East Texas, there is a little village called The Bird's Nest that has a 'no men allowed' rule
In East Texas, there is a little village called The Bird's Nest.
Despite only offering tiny homes and RVs, houses in the remote community are in high demand.
What makes this compound unique is that there are strictly no men allowed — and apparently, that's what makes it so sought-after.
When a home was up for grabs in August, there were 500 people gunning to take over the humble property.
The village declares itself a women-only community, and all the residents agree that women are easier long-term companions than men, the New York Times reported.
The Bird's Nest sits in Cumby, TX — 65 miles northeast of Dallas.
Residents, who are mostly single and retired pay $450 a month for a 10-by-30-foot shack.
Perks include running water, safety, affordability and, for these women, a lack of men.

The Bird's Nest, described by residents as an empowering tight-knit community, was founded in 2022 by Robyn Yerian, 77.
Yerian, a divorced mother of two and formerly a radiology technologist, used funds from her retirement account to purchase five acres of land in Cumby for $35,000.
She then spent $150,000 to develop the Bird's Nest and moved the $57,000 tiny home she already owned onto the land.
'It really is paradise for us, it is completely gated — nobody can just drive in,' Yerian told SWNS.
There are 11 women and nine dogs who currently live there — but not just anyone can move in.
Those interested in living there must be vetted through a rigorous interview process, which begins with a scheduled call with Yerian, then a multi-day visit.
It's important that the women get along — they all cook and eat meals together in a shared outdoor kitchen.
Beyond that, they're all there to support each other in times of need.

'We drive each other to doctor's appointments if needed,' Yerian told Realtor.com.
'We look in on each other if someone has the flu or surgery. We are each other's therapists and sounding board.'
Yerian highly recommends this quirky way of life: 'I have encouraged others to just go for it,' she told the publication.
'Quit saving that little bit of money and invest in a community. You will not get rich doing this, but it is a nice little cushion and the sense of community is everything.'
The Bird's Nest's residents are just as unique as the concept.
There are two married lesbians — one who identifies as a 'tree hugger' and the other who is a Republican gun owner.
Another resident is a former first-grade teacher, and another — Sherry Moore — a 65-year-old who is simply not interested in men anymore.
'I don't need to date anymore,' she said to the group. 'I'm 65 years old and I've had all the best sex I'm going to have. It's not going to get better than that.'
The women disagree about a lot of things, especially politics. But if there's one thing all the women can agree on, it's that no men means no drama.
