Is me living with four girls a recipe for disaster?

[archcommus]

Alright so I'm transferring to a city school this fall. Since I'm a transfer student I had to be wait-listed for housing. School starts in under five weeks and I still haven't gotten word from them. A female friend of mine who's a year older and also goes to this school has an apartment with three other girls and says they have space for me if I don't get dorm housing. Commuting would suck and I certainly couldn't afford my own apartment. I'm considering her offer, but...would this end really ugly?

Are they hot? Are they single? Are you single? If you answered yes to any of these, it could be a problem.

I live with my gf and her 17yo sister, no major problems as of yet despite one of my answers to those questions being yes

On one hand you have the remote possibility of a killer orgy. On the other, you have the painful inevitability of synchronized menstrual cycles.

Dont do it. You'll go fvcking crazy. Even girls dont like living with other girls.

Ive lived with several female roomates and never had a problem

Two have boyfriends, two are single. I am single. Three are hot.

 

[herkulease]

it would only end up ugly if you sleep with any of them.

there might be problems with the waiting for the bathroom and what not but if you live with 4 other guys it wouldn't be that much different.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

Lived with girls before. Won't do it again.

dude.... that is awesome if you are single... and if she's already ur friend u know you'll get along with her.... and even if they are NOT single, girls have friends, and if you're single, then they are bound to have friends that are single, and then they can say they have this real nice and sweet roommate guy that that single girl should go out with.

the possibilities are endless

plus girls get in to any party they want to, so if you're going to a party school that's a big plus too

Yep, potential for tang and trouble. I say go for it, you only live once.

This is definitely a party school but I don't know how much of a party man I am.

Bwahahahaha so true. You might as well sleep in the gutter that week that they're all cycling. No, I'm not kidding.

endless possibilities for things to go wrong. Seriously.. the bad things that can happen FAR outweigh and outnumber the possible good things. Anyone who has had female roomates will tell you this. Trust me, if you do it, dont even think about trying to get into a relationship with one of them, cuz it WILL end badly.

Some things to consider:

1) They will have complete control over the bathroom you share. Do not expect to be able to take a shower before class unless you wake up several hours beforehand and try to beat the rush. On top of that, expect there to be hair from what looks like a wooly mammoth shedding in the shower drain. And so help you god if you piss on the seat or forget to put it down.
2) You will be expected to be their bitch regarding all things manly. Kill a spider? Sure. Put out a grease fire because they tried using water? All you buddy. Power goes out? You're expected to somehow miraculously turn it back on.
3) PMS.

This is the truth. I can't get my gf to pick her hair (from her scalp thank you) out of the drain, I always have to do it otherwise the tub backs up. And I'd say you won't be able to piss standing up, welcome to the world of sitting down.

In a perfect world, it would end with bow-chikka-wow-wow music and HD pics/movies.

QFT.

Everything listed here is completely true. Even worse is that you will be living in amongst a behavioral and social structure whose laws you cant even begin to rationalize and comprehend. The ways that women interact with each other on a day to day basis are just mind boggling (and you'll be expected to be apart of it). You will want to shoot yourself after about two weeks.

It can't be that bad. I mean, if you're sitting, that means you've eliminated the chances of splatter. This in turn means you can multitask safely. Brush your teeth, blow your nose, the possibilities and time you can save is endless.

QFT x2

it's not that bad if you can keep yourself removed from any inevitable in-fighting, though.
