hookingem Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 No phobia at all tbh. Now at of all honesty I never seem to get along with Obama supporter's, and the only reason for this is because they never have any valid information and 99% of the time seem to be misinformed. I was simply asking for advice/insight from those that have had an experience with living with a *** roommate. He seems like a decent guy and I'm sure he will understand that I am not interested in him and he will respect that.
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted August 25, 2011 Super User Posted August 25, 2011 We had one living in our dorm when I was in school. I tried to be cool towards him even though most the other guys treated him like trash. A year later he was living with my girl Shawty and two of her friends. We were having a party over at their house and I was completely obliterated. Some little dork popped off to me and I shattered his nose. What I didn't know at the time was the eleven people standing by him were his friends. While the twelve of them stomped me, my four buddies stood ideally by and watched opened mouthed. The only one to help me was the "roommate". Son, he comes running outta the house with a dang Louisville Slugger and starts busting heads. I wound up becoming good friends with him after that. Man was I glad I had been nice to him the year prior. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't judge the man before you've even met him. He might be the only one to help you out one day. 1
Super User Dan: Posted August 25, 2011 Super User Posted August 25, 2011 Don't worry. By the time you get through college you will have learned that there are plenty of people from different backgrounds, orientations, political views, etc...that are perfectly easy to get along with. If you have an issue that causes confrontation between you then avoid it. There's no reason why you have to discuss politics with everyone you hangout with. In fact, here's another tip to help you stay ahead of the curve in college. It is NOT cool to talk politics with strangers when you are drunk at a party. It takes most students all of their first two years to learn that. You're welcome.

hookingem Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 In before Irene rests for the night! Wow! Irene's not coming there is nothing wrong with this thread and no hate is being flung If anything this is telling others to be more accepting of others....
figure8racer Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Hey man i can understand your uneasiness with it if you haven't had any previous experience, but it's really nothing to worry about. Some g.ays are way cool laid back and great friends, while others are ****** bags that will stab you in the back and be horrible people. But guess what? Staight people are the same way. Some cool, some not. And it's no joke that a g.ay friend can be the absolute best wing man you could ever have. Most women are more comfortable and trusting of a man that they know couldnt care less about their **** or getting in their pants, and a good word from him could seal the deal for you time and again, or get you in the door with your future wife. (I realize as a college freshman your still thinking quantity over quality but that will probably change eventually)Just be yourself and dont act any different than you would normally. Most straight guys automatically assume that a g.ay dude is checking them out and act uncomfortably, but more often than not thats not the case so just be cool and treat him like a normal person. Good luck. 2

boystcroix Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 When I first went to college I also was tripled up in a dorm room. There was one single bed and a set of bunk beds, I was the second guy there so I ended up with the bottom bunk. First week of school I come in late one night to find all my blankets and sheets lying on the floor and the guy wit the top bunk is lying in the single bed with some chick and he tells me that I'm gonna have to wash my sheets. I don't think so - he got a bloody mouth and I got new roommates!
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 26, 2011 Global Moderator Posted August 26, 2011 I've never had any roommates other than my wife but I don't really see having a g*ay roommate being a problem. Most of them are pretty decent people to be around and usually have much better hygene than straight guys. They're great wingmen too! They can talk to girls and a lot of girls will be impressed that you are secure enough with who you are that you don't mind having a g*ay roommate. If he is dirty, trashy, loud, smelly, whatever would it really matter if he was g*ay or not?
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted August 26, 2011 Super User Posted August 26, 2011 Jebus people! Can we please refrain from referring to GLBT individuals as "one of them," "we had one," "those people," etc? Even if you don't mean it negative manner, it is perceived that way. Are people seriously that ignorant in this day and age??? One of the beautiful things about college, is it should help people see the error in these ways.
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 26, 2011 Super User Posted August 26, 2011 This sounds like something that would have been posted in the 50's. People haven't changed much , what a pity.
Super User Long Mike Posted August 26, 2011 Super User Posted August 26, 2011 Gentlemen, valid points have been made, but it's time to move on. Good night, Irene.
