Is sharing a flat with a woman an okay decision or should I limit responses to my ad for a new flatmate to men only?
Now before you get mad at me (especially YOU) I've gotten a fair amount of interest in the place but most of it seems to be from women and it makes me wonder: I've been very clear the other room is a mezzanine above the kitchen that, while not exposed, is still pretty weird for a mixed sex accommodation. They might not understand what the word means or they might just be okay with it but I need advice on whether I'm okay with it.
This will take some getting used to. I've even got my own room with walls but I'm in there wanking all day and I'd rather not lose that privilege if someone uses her womanly charms on me.
It sounds like you currently have no flat mates, so the biggest adjustment is going to be having someone else live in your flat. How much visibility is there to the mezzanine area and could a privacy curtain (or even just a view-blocking room divider) be put in place?
Unless you have a habit of sauntering around naked or do more than walk towel-wrapped from shower room to your room you are on the safe side. Unless you have a habit of mistaking basic courtesy for attraction, you have nothing to fear from a female housemate that wouldn't apply to a male one. Except the bits that are different (in my experience), like maintaing a bin in the bathroom, paying more attention to the shower plug for hair, and likely increased toilet paper consumption.
>>9526 I have one at the moment but it's a bloke whose usually round his ms' place.
I've even lived with multiple women before it's the proximity given it's the two of us and potential for misinterpretation that worries me - will she get the wrong idea if I offer to show her the local spots, will she fall in love with me once she sees me in my kimono (it has dragons on), that sort of thing. Maybe these are just the inherent worries with getting any housemate but I wouldn't want creepiness to go on.
>How much visibility is there to the mezzanine area and could a privacy curtain (or even just a view-blocking room divider) be put in place?
Not much visibility at all unless I stand in the corner of the room and there's room dividers provided. But you know what women are like and the mezzanine has a heat problem where hot air gets trapped up there so you really want to take he dividers down.
Attractive people don't typically worry about whether prospective flatmates might fancy them or not, because they invariably will, and they're very much used to that sort of thing, so they don't need advice on how to deal with it.
>>9532 You already replied to my joke, and only post ITT, about anime two days ago. You didn't seem bothered then, what changed? I don't know who Colin and I can't remember the last time I posted in the climate change thread.
>>9532 I've had a crunchyroll sub for a decade, used to run a license bot doing fuzzy matching on the Grand High List back in the day when animsuki was the torrent mecca, used to VHS dub distro in the late 90s. It's not anime hate, it's just that this thread sounds like a Mary Sue fanfic.
I understood at least four words in that comment. Is a crunchyroll sub a kind of American sandwich? No wonder it's crunchy if you've had it for a decade.
