Well, to speak generally about a general thread , I vote NO!!!!!

Someone will assume you're living together in the biblical sense, and then you'll have to spend unnecessary time setting the record straight and most still won't believe you.

Now if an older woman (I'm thinking a SENIOR--65+) rented a room to a much younger man (30 or younger?), that MIGHT be okay.

Or if you rent a garage apartment to someone....

But living together in the same house? Well, first of all, why would anyone want to? Honestly? No offense to the guys, but most men are messy, sloppy, eat all the food in the fridge, they burp, pass gas, etc. Yeah, almost ALL of them do--in their own homes!!!!!! LOL!!!! So why would you willingly take one of them on for any other reason than they're your son or your husband? Or brother or father? Or Grandpa? If you need a man to fix things, you can hire one of those handyman services. By the looks of the ads, they're all good looking and walk around with bare chests glistening in the sunlight, while they screw in light bulbs and tinker with cabinet doors. That could be entertaining for a single woman, and nonthreatening, since I think they leave after a little while. (I may have carried that scenario a bit too far....)

I'd much rather have a female roommate. Or none at all. If I want company, I can go to the mall with my friends.

I'm not sure anyone has that question. The world just does it and the church just doesn't.

Sis,
In my family - it is the guys who are much more neat and clean than the women...except for me of course. The generalization doesn't apply to all. At JCM, I remember the women's dorms being left in much worse shape than the Men's dorm when classes were over.

Actually Renda, I have talked to many single's groups and the Apostolic single women question this as they would much rather prefer a male roommate than a woman one. Jealousies, hormones, and territory are women's issues primarily. Women also feel safer with a man in the house than a woman.

I've seen you write some very "interesting" posts but I believe this has to be the best of all.

Well, of course there are exceptions. My husband is very neat and clean and organized and well-mannered! Jeff gets mad if the kids burp at the table--because he never does that! He still opens doors for me after nearly 14 yrs. of marriage.

But generally speaking...I would not purposely pick a man to be my roommate.
