What are the pros & cons of living with a male roommate?

Question

I'm a straight guy in my late 20s.

Answer 1

Pros:

Cons: They eat your food, they run up phone bills and leave if the phone is in your name, they are loud and obnoxious, they have parties all the time, they watch way too much sports, they leave nasty surprises in the bathroom (your imagination required here), their girlfriends are always loud during romantic interludes to let you know what they are doing out of spite, they leave dirty underwear around the house in places you wouldn't normally want to find it, they forget to lock the door when they leave putting all your belongings at risk, they have scuzzy friends over who walk off with pieces of your CD collection, they are late with their part of the rent, they always want to 'borrow' money which usually turns out to be a 'gift'.... need I say more?
I say I wasn't THAT bad but then I might be biased. JK

Can you tell I live alone?

Answer 2

It all depends on your personalities and your schedules. If you are cool with each other and have the same interests it can be pretty cool. But if you are opposites then you will be traveling down a rocky road unless you are home at different times. The most imporant ?'s to ask are credit history (is the person going to be responsible and have $$$ for bills) and also is the person messy or will he eat all of your food. Also, smoking and drinking and drug habits??? Best friends can become worst enemies when they live together. You need to know the guy really well before you jump into a place together.

Answer 3

pro. he will bring hot girls to your place
con. he will want to use your hair gel
pro. he might be someone that you can have fun with when you are normally by yourself at home being bored
con. he might find you very attractive if he hasnt seen his girlfriend in a while
pro. you'll have a new best friend
con. you'll have a new freakin best friend
pro. he will get to know your girlfriend well and can give you pointers on how to make the relationship work.
con. he might get to know your girlfriend a little too well after drinking a whole bottle of straight vodka

the bottom line is... you just cant win. sorry.

Answer 4

Well, I've been to boarding school for 3 years, and I have to tell you even though it seems it may suck, roomates are much better than living alone. Sure if you live alone you have a lot more privacy, but it also gets pretty boring. Another thing is you never know whether you're gonna have a roomate who's really nasty (hygiene, cleanliness, etc.) or if you'll have a good one.

Answer 5

I guess Pros:
Get along well
Can introduce you to a few guys/gals
Someone to chil with
Might learn something
Not emotional
Irresposible
Tends to be dumb (can take advantage)


Cons
Could be gay/bisexual
Doesn't respect your space
Dirty, Lazy slob
Might bring a bunch of females to your house while you away and you don't know what is "HOLY TO TOUCH"
Might be dumb...


Ya know it all depends on how they are raised, cuz a guy like me might respect you place and yadda yadda, but the next guy might not. Nev No.

Answer 6

Pro=no women
con=no women

Answer 7

MESSY. if hes good looking you may bring home a girl only to have her like him... sometimes male roommates can be annoying also if you have a girlfriend and he doesnt respect that

Answer 8

I think it's a matter of personal descision, and scince I am a female, I would say that the pros and cons are whatever you make of them.

Answer 9

Well, you'd have someone to split the rent, and other bills. But you would have to put up with him bringing guy friends or girlfriends in on you at any time. And maybe even interupting you and your girl.
