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?

I think that's the case too, but it's also a lot messier to live with guys. In my stays with girls, be it a several week trip / 2 day trip, they always seem to be messy in their own way but still clean. Their mess consists of having whatever they brought all over their bed but the rest of the place completely clean and not smelly. The guys I've gone on trips with, I can't say the same for them. Usually it's a "we don't really care" type of thing so a mess is just a mess as long as they don't sleep in that room they don't care.

And come to think of it, at my dorm I never hung out in the "Living Room." Each of us had our own TV / computer in our bedrooms and we always hung out there or in each other's rooms.
