I have always shared rent with other guys and think it would be nice to give a women a chance.Most(not all,I know)women are tidy and respect your things.My roomate is moving in with his girlfriend and I need to find another one.What are your thoughts?

honestly i would love to be so close to a guy that i could room with him with no problems, it would be a challenage but i think a good one although it would cause some problems we tend to be more demanding and etc. well you should no that do you have a girl as a friend? if so ask her to room if not it may be a little hard to get a female to trust you enough

Hey pheobe,\n\nIve actually use Craigslist a few times.  Once I received some pretty good head on one response.  Another time I met up with a cuban/black mix chick.  We went out to the movies, ate dinner out, and I spent the night.  Had nice long sex.  She was a big girl but so what.  Try it out.

I would be, I'm open minded, caring and generous.  Not trying to be a creep though.  Maybe what they are saying is that you need to meet someone genuine, not the "typical" guy who thinks of himself superior to women, and that a women's place is in the kitchen, stuff like that.  But rather a man that would treat you with the respect and understanding that your friends think you desrve.  Good luck on finding that special someone.

the con census among the ladies here seems to be one of division. some want the guys to act like cave men (so they can secretly complain about it right?) and the other half want us to show our emotions (so they can secretly complain about it right?)\nmaybe all of us fellas should take you gals on the same emotional rollercoaster you take us on and, give you equal doses of both....randomly, so as to upset and confuse you so you'd know what it's like to live with you. HAH!!!

it's possible that this guy is just her roomate and they live separate lives, if you like the girl just ask to hang out with her one day before making a decision if you want to date her or not, if the roomate is there and he acts somewhat hostile towards you or rude then this guy may have some sort of relationship with her and is not ready for anyone to take his place.

Trust your boyfriend, is there anything wrong for you not to trust him? If he has his own bath and room and knows he has a girlfriend then she should respect that. Just make sure the girl roommate understands he's taken. Your just going to have to trust your man and spend time at the house in the begining so you can put her check.

I'm glad to be living with my fiance now, but there have been a couple of times in the past that I wished I was living alone. Once was when I was living with friends who had different standards of cleanliness - they are wonderful friends but I felt like I ended up doing more cleaning than was precisely fair. Another time I was in a relationship that turned abusive right at the end. Living alone was far preferable to that!

Your exploiting them like they are a f***ing freak show. Your second to last sentence states that very clearly. Your girlfriend has very right to be pissed if they are sleeping with her and she doesn't want them to. They don't have beds? Give me a break they are small not helpless. Why do you feel the need to do this? Is it a need or a want? It seems like your just fulfilling your owns wants and not caring about her at all.That would make you the dirty w****. Oh, and an a** for making her have to put up with them for three extra months, without asking her first. Do you always talk about your friends like they are a novelty; like a bad-ass posse, or say it's "great" when we go to the bar. And what does sponsor mean? Are you providing food/ housing to them? Is your gf living with you too? Will this be effecting her lifestyle? If so, she has every right to kick you and your little friends to the curb. Unless your gonna let her sponsor a "gaggle" of her kind of people when the time may arise, and not say a word about it.

I don't see why they would. Some guys still have issues about being the breadwinner but a modern woman with her own home wouldn't want one of them anyway. I think that to most guys it will be a positive. It's a sign of stability and maturity. To the rest is will be a non-issue for a while at least.

While I don't know anyone currently in one, I have two friends who escaped just such a relationship.  They were smart and did not make excuses for their batterer...they got out!\n\nI'm sure it is a depressing job but concentrate on how many women you are helping.  Never lose sight of the good the shelter and you are doing.  Isn't that what is is really all about?

YOU'RE PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED IN BEING ANGRY. If you pay rent you have the right to something called "quiet enjoyment" of the living space.  The fact that the noises are sex noises is not the point.  It would be just as much a trampling of your rights as a rooommate if he played his stereo really loud for 45 minutes (or for 45 minutes more than he agreed with you he would, as the case may be.) Bottom line is, he doesn't have the right to be excessively noisy at any time of day, with any kind of noise (and neither do you.)\n\nFiguring out how to f*ck his new girl without inconveniencing his roommates is his problem to solve, not yours.\n\nHaving said all that, the truth is men will say anything and do anything to get laid, including making promises they won't keep.  Keeping promises to roommates is not much of a priority here. So you're probably better off with a different rooommate, like maybe a female one.

Women get used to being treated like dirt. It's sad, but it's true. When I met my "great guy" it took everything in me not to toss him away because I didn't know how to react to a guy listening to me, giving me good advice, opening doors for me and offering to pick up the bill instead of "borrowing" money. I think women often get the idea that they don't deserve to be treated well. I definitely think one should be careful with the use of those three naughty words (I l#v! y@u.)  I've had to tell friends to calm down and enjoy the ride when they've freaked out because they're being treated well---I think it's the acceleration a relationship can have when things go well that can often lead to catastrophy. Most of all, if she can't take your good treatment, SHE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU. That's the downfall of good guys. The gentlemen just need to stay gentlemen and know that they are worth something. We don't need our good men going to trashy b*tc%es anyway.

Seeing how you and your girlfriend spend the nights together at her place all of the time maybe its time that the two of you get a place together! Leaving the friend roomate to fend for herself!

Its an extra bonus if a room mate can do all the right things like pay rent on time and be clean and considerate etc but if you can enjoy each others company, make friends and go out some places together that's great but most times I haven't wanted to get too close to anyone I share a house with. I like to be friendly but not live in each others pockets... I can be pretty private when I want to be and if I live too closely with someone I'm not in a relationship with that can become difficult... remember familiarity can breed contempt.

I found one of the best roommates in the world from www.roommates.com \n\nKeep in mind the more info you list the better. That way you will only get serious people that are truly interested. We also had pictures posted and a quick little biography of me and my then fiance (now husband)... I like to cook, he's a computer genius, we'd like a roomie we could share an occational pizza with, must like cats, room is 12x14, has it's own bathroom, high ceilings, furnished is you don't have furniture,.... etc....\n\nI'm dead serious. He's still our friend and after we left the apartment we even invited him and his fiance to our wedding.\n\nGive it a try, but keep an open mind. We found him after 2 weeks.

Follow your heart.  If you think it's right, it's right.  It's natural to be nervous when making big decisions.  I've been engaged and had a woman living in my home.  Unfortunately, we grew apart and the relationship ended. When it did, I didn't throw her and her son out.  I let her stay until she could find a place.  I would hope that most men would do the same.
