he isnt going to have a man room in the sense that I am not allowed in there or that he's just going to go in there to get buff or pound his chest... it's just his little area... I dunno. he is the type of person who needs to feel like he can go somewhere and be alone and unwind and if that invovles watching basketball and yelling like a goon at the TV without me flipping it to America's Next Top Model during the commercial breaks and asking him retarded basketball questions then so be it. we are both only children and used to having our own space so this will be quite interesting. I'm excited though, we have a lot of fun together.

don't freak out in the middle of the night if he's jerking off and laughing in his sleep
get used to shit stains on underwear which will get thrown in various places on the floor
phlegm that gets stuck in the bathroom sink that didn't totally wash away in the morning
piss on the toilet seat, or the seat being left up

i.e. clinging to what last bit of life he has left. - of course this room will turn into a rec. room for the exercise equipment you buy but don't use and old baby toys.

isn't it condescending how you answered her

no, women are just more annoying, not inferior. your post is a good example of this.

bardy · 05-21-2008, 08:50 PM

we are all annoying, get real

Mo · 05-21-2008, 08:52 PM

My s/o and I were planning on moving in together and already looking at apartments. Thank God we decided to not do it. Brr.

i mean, we're all one gender without differences

bardy · 05-21-2008, 09:11 PM

ugh I dont think I could do the apartment thing with another person. too cramped

mxzombie · 05-21-2008, 09:59 PM

it's not so bad.

my advice: don't be a bitch

bardy · 05-21-2008, 10:25 PM

that is impossible

Jonny5 · 05-21-2008, 10:34 PM

i'm almost considering rooming with a friend of the opposite sex, but only because it'd be for just the summer and i need a place.

need a place to toss the ol' hotdog.

Mo · 05-21-2008, 11:15 PM

Rooming with a female friend is great, though.

This is funny because my boyfriend and I were joking about him getting a gay room

i think you could also interprete that some women do stuff that annoy guys. I think its mostly the wheedly little tone they have, or the touchiness, or maybe the inability to entertain themselves.

to be fair, if you want to prove that we are equal we should probably have a fight or something.

no i'm only joking!!!

I honestly think its because women make a valiant attempt (sometimes successfully) to integrate into a mans social circle, but you dont often see guys do the opposite, i personally dont give a shit about your button collection, but some girls will try to get into my collection of machismo dumbells. Sometimes that can come across as annoying.

so you're living with an eight year old.

pink_ribbon_scars · 05-22-2008, 02:27 PM

if he's not super clean, and if having him help out with the housework is a big deal to you, you want to establish that up-front and figure out a few tasks for him to own. my boyfriend is lazy as hell at helping out around the house, and it drives me mad. despite my "please help me regularly because it would help a lot, and make me more chilled out, plus you really do own part of the responsibility" conversations, he's still useless about it because cleaning isn't important to him. i waited too long and now i am stuck with someone that i love and cherish who has gotten used to me doing ALL of the housework. i could type more about it but i won't bother.

BumbleBeeMouth · 05-22-2008, 02:34 PM

i never understand this, why is it your law that states when the house should be cleaned and to what extent?

he might not want it to be cleaned. My advice (hah) is to leave it, stop doing any housework, find out his threshold. Every guy has one, my ex learnt that my margin for cleanliness was only marginally lower than hers, ill admit, sometimes my fingers itch and i just do it. So she just got used to it, and we never argued about petty stuff like that.

T&T · 05-22-2008, 02:47 PM

my advice is
if you cook he does the dishes
if he cooks you do the dishes

guys will wait to see dust bunnies before they need to dust.
it's best left up to someone else to know how much cleaning should be done.
it's not like it's much of a hassle anyhow. 1 hour a week of house cleaning together should be pleanty.

you'll never know until you try.

but i love that phrase, most likely because i dont understand it.
?
so, like rabbits, made from dust

BumbleBeeMouth · 05-22-2008, 02:54 PM

is it like snot rockets?

T&T · 05-22-2008, 03:00 PM

because the dust and the hair bundles up into little balls
and they're small and furry like bunnies
with a little jest of wind they blow away and run like bunnies.

cleaning should be preventive
not a "you'll never know until you try".
try not flushing for a month. report back.

BumbleBeeMouth · 05-22-2008, 03:08 PM

ok....

sorry, i wanted to flush, thats gross not flushing, so i did.

i think you might have missed the point of my post?
