    It just depends on living w/ the person, guy or girl. Some girls are neat, some are messy. Some like to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiiiime. (Eddie Murphy) Some aren't social maniacs. Etc, etc...

    The only noticeable difference I've had is girls will sometimes cook dinner for me.

    The girls I've roomed w/ were good friends so there were no surprises and it turned out great.

    thats the big one right there. if they havent lived with guys before that will take some time but someone needs to start somewhere.

    I've lived in two difference places with girl roommates.

    one of the places was where the girl came from a strict home and grew up overseas (korea and hawaii) and started to go to school here in cali. Granted that she was on the younger side (at the time 19) it was her first time being out of the house without any restrictions. She kept on wanting to throw parties, drank a lot of the alcohol that my other roommate and I bought and was sleeping with a different guy every week.

    I am not saying something like that will happen in your case but its just human nature, guys or girls, to kind of go on a 'freedom binge' once the get out of the house. I know I did during my first year living in the dorms and a lot of other people here have too. If they are still in that phase (regardless of their age) and you are beyond that already (which you seem to be if you have been living on your own) then its going to cause problems you really dont want to be a victim of their 'living on their own'


    in my experience you never want to be a person who is living with someone "out on their own for the first time" unless you are in that same boat.

    Thanks for including this one.

    I don't think you'll ever know how much it means to me.

    Listen...

    The best way to go is after you take a shower...

    You go in the living where they are prob chilling..

    You accidentally pop your thing out... You take that chance. Either they'll scream and run away, or you'll be on Pleasure blvd.

    Hope that helped.

    i can't believe it's taken me 10 years to find the hangout. i now understand how moes has almost 20k posts without me being able to recall having read a single one of them.

    now if only the same could be said for dakota.

    I didn't mean he was dead, I was doing what Charles Barkley does on TNT when he says "_______ is rolling in his grave" even when they are not dead.

    One time he said "Dennis Johnson is rolling in his grave right now", and 3 days later Johnson died.

    Off the top of my head

    1. It seems that a woman's cleanliness falls into one of two extreme categories: either she's a clean-freak, or she's a complete slob. I haven't met too many women who are in-between. Surprisingly, I've known a lot more women who are complete slobs than clean-freaks. If you're a clean-freak and they're complete slobs, you might want to know this up front. Slobs can usually tolerate a clean-freak, but clean-freaks usually can't tolerate slobs.

    2. You should have regularly-scheduled communication times (like, every Wed. night, you have a healthy talk/conversation). During that time, communicate any issues you may have with each other (one person may need to the dishes more often, another person is leaving their shoes all over the living room floor all the time, etc.)

    3. Believe it or not, you can tell a woman anything. You can tell her she's a slob, she's fat, she's lazy, she's ugly, etc. What's important is HOW you say it to her. Don't be accusatory or attacking. Don't pit her against you. When you say it to her, imagine that you two are playing on a team together and you're on her side. Be considerate of her feelings and use phrases and tones that are encouraging and constructive.

    4. Establish systems that you all agree on and that you all will stick to. Examples: This food is purchased for the group and can be eaten by the group as long as you don't hog it all and you pitch in money for it. Other food is to be eaten only by the person who bought it. The thermostat should be set at such-and-such temperature and shouldn't be touched unless all approve, etc.

    5. If this is their first time on their own, they aren't going to be very good roommates. You should realize this up-front. If you are very good friends with these people, I don't recommend rooming with them. I can't think of a set of friendships that have survived being roommates when one or more of them is out on their own for the first time. First-timers just aren't good roommates, and this can destroy a friendship.
