Lads, I'm living with 8 women this year and whilst that may sound like a dream from a teen movie I don't quite know what I'm doing. I assume the fact that they are digging into ice cream means I should keep my head down for a few days but I could do with some top-tips.

Obviously I can't sleep with any of them its the living with part I'm getting my head around.

Learn to enjoy gossip, that's all I can say. Just let them all bitch about each other to you and you will keep the peace and balance the place out. And yes, they'll synchronise, like some hideous disjointed gestalt entity.

You're fucked mate.

I lived with three girls one year. They're the laziest, messiest, bitchiest sort of people and complete fucking nightmares to live with.

For god's fucking sake don't complicate things by trying to start a relationship or shag one, it'll be dreadful.

My advice is to stay out of the house as much as you can, get ground rules about keeping communal areas clean and LOCK YOUR ROOM. Doubtless it will probably go tits up anyway, but keeping it clean will be an uphill battle.

Just to counter this: I lived with two girls for a year. The apartment was always clean, they were really pleasant and I never heard a raised voice. They also cooked for me occasionally.

Sure, women can be awful to live with, just as men can. Misogyny is often just misdirected misanthropy. What you need to do is find nicer people.

I'm not a misogynist - some of my best friends are women (yes, really), it's just that in a gang, in a closed environment, things can become hell. I'm happy that your house went well (maybe there being only 2 instead of 3 was a key factor), but that's not the norm in my experience.

I was alluding to the cliché of disguising hatred with 'I have friends who are x'. But in this case it was ironic, because many of my friends and favourite colleagues actually are women. They're often just painful to live with in a communal household environment, in my experience. And that's a view held by a lot of women, I'll have you know.

There's no misogyny involved in this, whoever said that can fuck right off. I live with two women who're a couple of my best friends, I've lived with them and other guys for three years now. It's fine. If it was just women though I wouldn't go anywhere fucking near it.

I know he's an arse for flashing his cock at a rape survivor's rally, but whenever I watch that video, I can't help it, I crack up when the blonde girl starts slamming her handbag into the embankment over and over.

Make sure you tidy up after yourself so they can't blame you for leaving things lying around in the kitchen (although the only problem I really had with that was with some semi-autistic shut in nerd girl that was a pain to deal with generally.)

Aside from that women are easy enough to deal with. You might not sleep with the ones you're living with but they do generally have a lot of other female friends iykwimaityd.

I suppose as the thread is still going I will give you lads an update:

I went out for a night and when I came back they are all flapping about because the fuse had blown. I stayed in and they all come back in tears with some bitching thing going on between them. The balance I've found is to spend half the night with them which for some reason stops any drama. United against a common threat maybe.

They're good friends with a group of lads who come around fairly often, they scream more than the girls but other than that they are pretty tolerable. Although one of them keeps crying on my shoulder when he turns up at the door pissed having punched a lamppost and other teenlad antics. Its all evened out because they leave their drink here and never bother with getting it back.

I've given up watching telly with them. I had a relationship problem with this before but honestly fuck watching X-Factor and other ITV-esque programming.

>>4883
This has been pretty solid advice so far. A couple of weeks back one of the girls went home for the weekend and straightaway they were telling me how they all hate her.

From what I gather she sleeps with men a bit.

They seem to more or less keep the place tidy so that is a plus however one thing that is starting to get my goat in that area is the loo roll situation. Namely, every time I need to take a shit we're out.

I think I will start pooing full time at the library and see if they manage to sort themselves out. Can't have a go right now because I had a go the other day about noise during the early hours of a weekday.

I find the concept of toilet brushes a bit unhygienic too. I've got a powerful flush so stains normally go away on their own or with the help of some toilet duck.

For more stubborn stains, I put on two medical gloves and clean the stain off with a flash wipe. Then I make a fist while holding the flash wipe and use my left hand glove to pull the right glove off and inside out. Then I hold that glove in my be-gloved left fist and pull the left glove off and inside-out too. Then I drop it into a carrier bag. No toilet water drips anywhere.

They do have to be latex gloves rather than vinyl ones though because vinyl isn't quite strong enough and it leaves you with wet patches on your hands which is obviously not what you want to see.

I bet you actually do this as well.

You two are aware of the "aerosol effect", right? Toilets spew bacteria in a 10ft radius when they flush. I've heard it termed "fecal mist".
