living with the opposite gender, who you are NOT sleeping with Options

[batman]

have you guys ever done it? people keep telling me that it'd be weird having a male roommate that i'm not in a relationship with, but after having 2 male roommates, i think i disagree. i think i get along better with them than i ever did with my old female roommate.

but idk, those were short-term. i'm about to move into a 2br apartment that i'll be sharing with a guy for about 6 months, so i guess i'll see.

but anyways, have you guys ever had a roommate of the opposite gender? was it weird? was it any different than living with someone that's the same gender?

Yeah, I had 2 male roommates when I was abroad in Bristol, along with 2 other girls. And right now, in my summer sublet in Boston, I'm living with one guy and 2 other girls. It makes me hate living with guys though. When I have my own room, I have absolutely no problem with living with women. But, living with guys is just so disgusting.

I don't find it weird, just sometimes a bit awkward. However, it does make me realise that I never want to live with men again because they're so dirty. Not all of them, but most of them are disgusting. Never doing dishes, never taking the trash out, never helping out with the cleaning. I could go on.

DUDE. My ex-roommates were so filthy. I hated that shit. I even protested cleaning the kitchen to see if they'd buckle when it got dirtier, but nope. I resorted to bitching at them 2-3 times a day to get shit done. I even turned one of their computers off b/c I was so irritated with those dirty f****ts. My roommate that lived immediately next to my room was clean though, it was the other two that weren't. Our biggest mess was having a bunch of empty water bottles in our room.
