I can't believe some people are suggesting to make the decision based soley on whether or not the girls are hot.

Yeah, what are they thinking? The decision should be based solely on whether they put out or not.

On the whole, women are far messier than men.

Seriously. Not to mention they'll never have girlfriends over....they always all congregate at some mutual guy-friends' place. Women are genetically pre-programmed to hate each other.

I wouldn't, not unless i know them. There's a chance it'll end up like notfred said, and you'll have lots of gfs over for slumber parties... or they'll have their bfs over all the time.

Shut up about the roommates being hot -what, are you going to video tape them while they sleep, have a drunken 3 way or (more realistically) lock yourself in your room whenever they have a new random guy friend over every night. This isn't a late night showtime movie, this is the real world.

One of my female roommates was insane to live with during that very special time of the month. Never mind blood on the toilet or used tampons in the trash - we'd get into MASSIVE fights over nothing... But one of my new female roommates is a close friend and a joy to live with, while I never see another one because she's always moody and in her room (depressing as hell too).. so, yeah...

I'm quoting myself because it doesn't seem that the OP read what I wrote. READ IT, i speak from experience...

The other thing about LIVING with a hot roommate who, yes, probably won't be attracted to you - you always have to be on. I had a mild crush on a roommate and couldn't walk around in a dirty t-shirt... Couldn't relax in my friggin living room because i was so self concious. you know that nervous feeling some people get when a pretty girl sits next to you on the bus or in a waiting room? You know how you might suck in your stomache, sit extra straight, and fix your hair just a bit? Imagine living like that 24/7! Now, of course, an attractive girl could also be an amazing roommate.. But that should be the last thing on your mind. Can she pay the bills on time? Does she have a good head on her shoulder? Will she leave bloody rags everywhere (ewwww!).

Lastly, I can't believe that everyone is saying "let them stay if she's hot!" There's a small chance that this hot roommate will do you and a huge chance that you'll be in your room whacking off while crying, wishing you were the guy in the room next to you who's moaning the wrong girl's name.

You must have extreme willpower to keep your hands to yourself and your penis in your pants. If you are weak, do not do this thing, well, ok...do it. ;)

What are you, 13 years old? Girls at that age are predatory and quite selfish about men. Your roommate, even if she doesn't want to jump your bone, will keep her friends away... Also, what 19 year old has slumber parties? Most spend their nights in a club's bathroom doing blow off of a toilet, not doing each other's hair while talking about boys...

Do it, but be prepared for them to hate each other by the end. Girls are unpredictable. Also, buy TP from Costco.

I still haven't decoded all the whining my one female roommate used to spew. "You're talking at me, not to me!" "That's an excuse, not a reason!" "You're making me look like the bad one! (by telling the truth)"

The behavior was weird as well. If she left the light on in the bathroom, it meant she was coming back and I couldn't use it. Except the times she forgot and left it on all night (other times she left her hair iron on all day). If I left the light on for a few seconds though, to grab a glass to rinse my mouth out after brushing, for example, she would often quick grab the bathroom or complain I was wasting electricity. Things like this happened on a daily basis.

Definitely not worth it.

i always hear that girls are bigger slobs than guys are.. and harder to live with cause of their drama.. and all young women have drama... but if they're hot, stick it in and test the waters

Don't you have a bad movie to make or something?

You didn't get along with your female roommates because you're basically a girl yourself.
Don't be so pretentious (I know it's hard for you) as to think that you have any idea how this guy will handle female roommates. Seeing as how you very accurately described your bad experience with female roommates (trying to impress them, and then crying while whacking off while she's with another man in her room) I don't understand why you would be in any position to give adequate advice in this thread. I'm sure your pretentious art weenie way of approaching life didn't help at all, couple that with your insufferable ego I can see how your experience sucked.

OP, women can be a bitch to deal with, but it can be a lot of fun and bring in influences from the opposite sex that you would never get from an apartment full of men drinking sh!t beer and playing xbox.

How is that any different from a guy roommate screwing a chick in his spare room?


You will invariably grow more attached to female roommate.

Meh...my roommates senior year of college were two females--age 19 and 20 at the time and decently attractive.

If you can be normal about it, they can end up being very good roommates. I'm still very close to both of them to this day (4 years later)

Make sure to prepare enough room for the video equipment in the closet.
