Sophomore year of college, I moved into a large 3-story, 9-bedroom house with a lot of my guy friends that came to my college from my high school. Awesome, right? The best part? No females unless we choose to bring them over. No mother to tell us to clean up. No girl to say, "put the seat down on the toilet you indecent bum." I could clip my toe nails anywhere. I could eat my dinner anywhere. Best of all, I could scratch my balls whenever they got itchy without a second thought. Heaven.
At the beginning, everything was great. The toilet thing worked out fine until I realized that not everyone has my bulls-eye aim with their wiener. They told me theirs were more unwieldy than mine. Whatever. The dinner thing worked great until my friend's right to clip his nails anywhere conflicted with my dinner eating interests. Itchy balls? Well, that actually worked out great anyway I look at it.
What living in a house with all guys has taught me is that guys need girls. Girls, although quite irrational sometimes with their PMSing, often have ways of making a guy better just with their presence. For example, I realized that if girls were over, my guy friends with their unwieldy dongs would use toilet paper to attempt drying the seats. They would think twice before throwing away a beer can on the floor, in case a potential mate might be turned off by that type of behavior.
What do you think? Can you live in a house with only guys? With only girls?

yeh, i'd think you'd need that mix. cause trust me, just girls can be pretty gross also :\
Haha, girls can be just as gross.
Ever walk into a girl's bathroom? There's used pads and tampons everywhere, toilet paper everywhere, and sometimes pee on the seat (wtf?!).
But when my boyfriend is over, I definitely don't mind cleaning up after him. But we're both gross together so it works out for us I guess?
In college, I absolutely loved living with guys. Sure it can get messy and gross....but there's only one time in your life that you will live like that (hopefully). Best times of my life!
But I found that girls don't have that affect on all guys. Yeah sure I figure most guys would react like that. But my roommates pretty much did the same things whether girls were over or not. Only 1 of my roomates was like that...., cuz when the apartment was all cleaned, we knew a girl was coming over haha. But I guess was a good thing.
The cleanliness thing....well, I've seen girls apartments that were pretty gross, and I've lived with guys that were spotlessly clean and guys so dirty people refused to use our bathroom!
The only people I can live with is my family (well, certain one, anyways). I could never live with another. That's just me!
I'm a clean nerd. People have to do certain things in a certain way for me to be satisfied. If not, we'll both go nuts!
"Girls...often have ways of making a guy better just with their presence. "
Aw!
oh man girls are messy too. but I think a mix of guys and girls is fun.
I don't think it should really matter about the gender unless there is a personality conflict.
I get along better with women. That whole "alpha male" competition thing.. when theres not even girls around is fucking retarded. Women nag and dont know when to shut the fuck up sometimes.. but they are far better roommates than any guys i've lived with by a long shot.
good post...I'd have to agree, a female definitely brings a better side out of me...but at the same time I'm not much of a slob. the only thing that really lays on the floor are my clothes, but it's not even that excessive. i guess i learned to keep clean due to my ex, so in turn the female presence did have a positive effect on me.
I think I could stand living with ONE guy more than multiple girls or guys, but I'd idealistically prefer to live alone... with my cats....
Hahahaha.
I'd definitely prefer to live alone, haha.
I lived with three other girls last year. All of our boyfriends agreed we had the most disgusting bathroom they had ever seen. THEY would clean it for us. Haha.
i have lived with another guy and it was a pain in the ass most of the time but now that i have the place to myself now i have to keep it clean which is not so bad because sometimes i have a lazy streak for like a week and then i get fed up with the mess and then start my own cleaning party
u just live with dirty ass bastards....i mean i ejaculate all over the place, but thats not as nearly as nasty as pee mixed with nail clippings
We learned that girls have the dirtiest bathrooms, but they're better at cleaning them. All college kids (who aren't OCD) are messy, so you just have to live with it, no matter what the gender combination.
Girls are fucking CRAZY sometimes. But yeah, we all need at least one around.
Though, I do take offence to the PMS comment. FYI, not all girls get hormonal!
@HeartOfPandora@xanga - Completely agree with the first half of your comment :)
Guys definitely need girls. No one likes a never ending sausage fest.
Dude, is that really you in that picture?
Without females in the house, I imagine your home is pigsty
just one sex...uh..no thank you. those conditions tend to be gross. ha, yes, guys would be lost without girls. u think we yell at you to be annoying. we yell at you to clean up so you don't get sick or worse, get us sick.
with only girls = super cattiness.
but i appreciate this post. ^_^
i would much rather live with a bunch of boys than a bunch of girls...
i live with my boyfriend now. i'm pretty sure i'm messier than him, but when both of us are feeling lazy the house is a disaster in less than a day. and it takes like 3 days just to get the house clean haha. i need a little bit of order, at least i used to, but as time goes on i feel the need for cleanliness. i'm trying to rub off on my boy now, why is it so hard to not drop your wet towel on the floor? or to put the cap back on an open container? blah.
it's like training a puppy sometimes, i swear.
I love organization and cleanliness... so if you got that down, I'll be fine :)
Girls are the same way. They are messy as Hell and usually only clean up when they are expecting a date to come over.
I could live with all girls only.
