Re: Sharing room with girls?If you're sharing a bathroom just make sure you DON'T hog it and you keep it clean and tidy (seriously, otherwise they'll assign you chores if they don't think you can clean up out of your own free will). And try not to complain about the amount of time they spend in there because you'll only get shouted at. When any of them happen to be on their period (unlucky if it's three separate weeks in a month) then you have to be extra sensitive because on the first day girls are ready to cry about anything. And as previously stated, do not under any circumstances sleep with any of them, these girls will be your FRIENDS, your uni will be brimming with other girls left, right and centre, so there's no need to make your life any more difficult than it already will be.

You could walk out on them naked and say "Ohhh, i forgot you lived here" and go back into your toilet
. If they like what they see they might follow you back

Re: Sharing room with girls?Aaha yes. This.(Original post by sammy-lou)
I'm a girl, from a family of mostly girls, and I can without a doubt say I'd go mad living in halls with just girls. -

Re: Sharing room with girls?This is so true. I live with 3 girls and 2 guys and the amount of falling out, bitching, arguments and the general bad atmosphere in the flat is just ridiculous.(Original post by YB101)
ahaha why would you !?
Personally I can't stand living with a group of girls (I am a girl), because when in packs, they just seems to make such big deals about irrelevant topics and complain about everything. This probably explains why the majority of my friends are male :/
I'd much rather be the only girl in a house full of lads. Or live alone! -

Re: Sharing room with girls?Lived with 3 girls in my second year. Bad move. Very bad move.
By the end of the year they weren't even on speaking terms; this was the culmination of countless fall-outs over small, irrelevant and futile things. Never live with girls... I learnt this lesson the hard way. -

You make a good argument for why NOT to live with girls.

I lived with 5 girls at the start of my first year, I was the only guy in our 6 person flat! We all got on well, one of the girls didnt fit in with the rest of us as much so she moved out but then a guy moved in and I realised how much I missed male company. Im living with 4 girls next year from the flat next year too, I didn't want to play housemate roulette since I already get on with these people!

Re: Sharing room with girls?I, in spite of being a man, am a consummate bitch. Gossip with my three housematesses, therefore, has been hysterically funny for the past couple of years. I can't really see that there are any particular positives or negatives to living with men or women, to be honest. Excluding, of course, the sanitary towel that I found in the washing machine. I usually rotate the drum to ensure that nothing has been left in there. On the one occasion that I deviated from the routine, it turned out that the abovementioned intimate item had, one hopes inadvertently, been left behind. I was obliged to put shrinkables and delicates through on a hot wash, just in case. I was pyroclastic with fury.

Re: Sharing room with girls?Guys can use the same argument, why do the girls constantly need the mirror in there if a guy genuinely needs the loo or shower, when girls have mirrors in their rooms, or if at a push on their phones/iPod cameras. It takes two to tango.(Original post by Young Hot Stalin)
If you're sharing a bathroom just make sure you DON'T hog it and you keep it clean and tidyBe fair from the start and devise a rota, that way EVERYBODY mucks in and arguments are avoided, however, people should be allowed leeway and swap jobs/days if they have certain places to be.(seriously, otherwise they'll assign you chores if they don't think you can clean up out of your own free will)I'm sorry but everyone should consider each other equally. If someone is being selfish, they need to know; regardless of whether a guy or girl. That way tension will not build as much.And try not to complain about the amount of time they spend in there because you'll only get shouted at. As I guy, I can have my moments myself, where I get emotional, so I am completely understanding of this. My way of dealing with this is working out their sense of humour and taking their mind of it and making them laughWhen any of them happen to be on their period (unlucky if it's three separate weeks in a month) then you have to be extra sensitive because on the first day girls are ready to cry about anything. That I can understand too, you have a completely valid point here.. And as previously stated, do not under any circumstances sleep with any of them, these girls will be your FRIENDS, your uni will be brimming with other girls left, right and centre, so there's no need to make your life any more difficult than it already will be.Last edited by gagaslilmonsteruk; 22-06-2012 at 01:46.
