<p>Mead13, don’t be so immature…it would be really stupid of the gay roomate to try and take advantage of the straight one while sleepiong…BUT it doesn’ tmean all experiences all the same. How else are you going to become a broadened person? Do you want to stay close-minded forever?</p>
<p>most gay roommate will be fine. change in your own privacy, he will do his, should be fine. in rare cases one might cause trouble like mead. it’s rare but possible, in which case, treat it like any other sexual assault. but really, its rare and probably wont open.</p>
<p>don’t take the profile as gospel, I let some of my friends change my profile (they used to do horrible stuff, now they just screw with my music list and other minor stuff…I just figure anyone who knows me knows it is bs)</p>
<p>honestly i just don’t care enough to change my pass and it’s fun to see what they come up with</p>
<p>either way I doubt he’d make you feel uncomfortable…he is probably preoccupied with how you might treat him/react</p>
<p>whoops, correction:
*one of my professors. I didn’t realize what I said was vulgar. Oh well.</p>
<p>During our first meeting, I asked my (straight) roommate what his sleeping habits were. He started smiling (I think he thought I was asking about the other “sleeping situation”), so I followed up with a question asking about what time he goes to bed and wakes up. We’re still undecided about our sleeping arrangement, because there are two bedrooms, two gay guys and a straight guy. I honestly don’t want to be in the same room as the other gay guy (he’s my friend and we’re “seeing each other,” so I don’t want to be too close or we’ll get sick of each other), but I don’t know how to say this. I also don’t know if the straight guy would want to be by himself (he has a long-term gf and might need that space). Since my gay friend doesn’t specify on his FB profile that he’s interested in men, the straight guy probably had no clue he’s gay when he agreed to room with him, and consequently, with us. <em>Lol</em> I don’t know if he’s wary of this, but he has no choice now :)</p>
<p>You’re lucky to have a gay roommate. We’re all pleasant, attractive, and clean. You can be reasonably sure that you won’t get:</p>
<ul>
<li>a stoner</li>
<li>a slob</li>
<li>a slacker, in any variety</li>
</ul>
<p>So be happy! Your room will smell nice, you’ll have well coordinated colors, and your queeny roommate will probably throw away your beer cans and pizza boxes. All of this together = impress the girls you reel in. :)</p>
<p>Seriously, why are you worried about it?</p>
<p>And by the way, I’m reasonably sure Mead was being sarcastic.</p>
<p>I dont know if anyone’s already said this or not, I’m too lazy to read the whole thread.</p>
<p>All of the gay guys that I’ve met have had a TON of cute female friends. Always. If you play your cards right (as in he’s cool and you’re not an idiot), you could pretty much have a 247 Gay Roommate Dating Service. I don’t see how this is a bad thing.</p>
<p>Well yeah, but don’t just think you can use us for that haha. As diverse as straight people are (yes, there actually are creative, non-sports straight people,) that’s how diverse gay people are. There are gay people that act EXXACTLy like straight people, and you’d never know.</p>
<p>^^ that’s totally true. We girls love our gay friends, and if a straight guy is comfortable with our friend and totally cool, it’s definitely attractive.</p>
<p>Dude, every straight guy needs a gay guy for a friend. Trust me, you will have endless pool of hot females. He could get you more dates in a week than you could get in a year.</p>
<p>the more gay guys there are, the more hot chicks there are available to us straight guys.</p>
<p>ok got it. thanks everyone. hopefully he just wont be the gay guy who came by my drive thru at my restaurant who made me go, “Oh…my…godddd…” He said things like “hey honey do you mind if i can get a refill for my drink yaddie yada” "isnt my boyfriend so hot!!! (i think his “boyfriend” wanted to die at that moment), and dressed in such flamboyant clothes, almost all pink. with hair to match. truthfully i just hope my roomate might not be like that (i guess ill just forget about what his facebook shows). i would prefer a gay roomate who like some of you guys noted, isnt very obvious about it and look pretty normal.</p>
<p>geez, you guys are in for a nice culture shock at college then.</p>
<p>“Just relax, having a gay roommate is no different from having a straight roommate.”</p>
<p>Yeah, except for those oh-so-curious stares when you’re changing. There’s also the AIDS factor…</p>
<p>oh_really: AIDS is as much a worry for straigt people as gay people… the whole “gay disease” thing was like, what… 20 years ago?</p>
<p>Old school bigots, oh yeah.</p>
<p>nah, you’re wrong. Gay people have AIDS at a much higher rate than straight people.</p>
<p>“Around 47% of all people diagnosed with AIDS were probably infected with HIV through male-to-male sexual contact, while people exposed through heterosexual contact comprise around 17% of the total.”</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.avert.org/usastatg.htm[/url]”>http://www.avert.org/usastatg.htm</a></p>
<p>And you’ve got to watch out because you know you can get aids just by looking at somebody funny! Not even a very clever ■■■■■…</p>
<p>“AIDS is as much a worry for straigt [sic] people as gay people” </p>
<p>All name calling aside, that’s still not true.</p>
<p>Neither is this:</p>
<p>“There’s also the AIDS factor…”</p>
<p>Unless you plan on sleeping with your roommate or sharing needles with him why would whether or not he has AIDS even be a factor?</p>
<p>:(
