Funny posts. Okay, gay men. I've lived with a woman before, she was a terrible pain...not in a bad way really, just really needy. I've shared a house with one gay friend, and we are still best friends, and then another time, a gay friend and I shared a really sweet beach apartment. The conversations were great with both guys and the morning wood? Not an issue, really, I mean, it's all natural and to be honest, I don't think I made them uncomfortable at all. I suppose I was treated like a younger sister? Not sure, but it all worked out and it was a great time in my life, really a lot of fun and just honest friendship. I only think it was awkward like once...I came home unexpectedly...lol. But it was eye opening!
I think it all depends on the person though, to be honest. I knew all three of my room mates way in advance, so there weren't really many surprises. And my girl friend is still in touch, but we didn't do well as room mates, she was always having boy troubles...come to think of it, so was one of my gay friends, but that for some reason, was much more interesting that my female friend and her issues...lol Who knows? It's all chemistry -- friendship and tolerance, I suppose.
