So now that I'm a senior, I moved off campus and I don't have a roommate anymore. THANK THE LORD! (don't mean to offend if you aren't religious) I would admit that for a while i really felt threatened by my sophomore year roommate because he was so mean and we actually got into a verbal altercation and i threw a pot at his head. I almost got kicked out of the dorms. So....yea... Roommate situations can be positive or negative.. But always be yourself. Anyways.. LOVE YOU! Keep making videos!! <3
HOWEVER!!! My sophomore year was totally different because he was the biggest asshole EVER! I dont even think he was a homophobe.. he was just a fucking asshole and he would always talk shit about my major (Women and Gender Studies), he was disrespectful to my friends (girls, no gay guy friends...really sad), AND he would eat my food. OMG I have so many roommate horror stories from him. And then we ended up pledging the same fraternity and I still hate him...ugh whatever!
OMG!! My roommate last year was an exchange student from Amsterdam( really don't feel like looking up the spelling) and he was soooooo hot! I had the biggest crush on him and he knew about it (which scared the shit outta me!) Anyways to respond to your video, we did change in front of each other which was a relief because I didn't want to have to constantly change in the bathroom after my shower and he thought it was cool to have a gay roommate. Probably cuz of my cute girlfriends..LMAO
We totally agree. Its so fucking sad that this video is still necessary (which it is, at least in America). There is still SO MUCH homophobia around...
My roommate's gay. I knew right away that she was gay and I have no issue with it at all. I still sleep naked when the room gets too hot. IDGAF! I get the usual ignorant comments like aren't you afraid she'll try to rape you in your sleep, or has she ever hit on you? But I just roll my eyes and say I don't think I'm her type. She's a cool person but unfortunately we don't really vibe like that and we live our own lives. Of course, that has nothing to do with her sexual orientation!
If you have a crush on your room mate, I would tell them. If he's straight, he'll tell say, "yo, I don't swing that way bro." and he'll either be really cool about about it and shoot it down, or he'll be so creeped out by it that he'll move. At which point, the problem is solved anyway because he'll have left and you'll have realized you crushed on an asshole who probably leaves his socks all over the place.
Eitherway, it's always been my style to put everything on the table and deal from there
People like you should be put away in a cell and never allowed to mingle with society you sick ugly piece of shit. I bet your father hates you with all his art. If i ever see you, (which I probably wont since I go to an ivy league school and we dont have fuckers like you here) I will beat you senseless even if i serve time for it. You are a disgusting excuse for a human. You are hideous but that is no excuse to be gay. You nasty bitch. and for you fuckin info. homosexuality is not in ur gene
@md2016st lol someone is angry! why are you even on this video if you oh idk "GAY" ? It says Gay'S Guide...So basically you came here and chances are you were looking up other gay tagged vids, saw him giving advice to gay guys/girls and commented because? You probably are having a hard time accepting yourself. It's okay you will be loved regardless of your hate.
I came out to my roommate after knowing that he was cool with gay people. Then came out to me as bi a few weeks later. There have been a few awkward situations caused by him, which confuses me at times. But he's a good guy.
@kendricharlen He just says things like, "I think it would be nice if I were your first kiss." or "Have you liked me since we've been roommates?" and then there was the time he asked to see my penis. I only like him as a friend.
I had a great experience in my 1st yr of college with my roommate. We were cool but he was very shy. Yes, I developed a bit of a crush but luckily had a lover at the time (who spent the weekends and was cool with everybody). I wonder what he's up to these days? It's such a great experience in the long run.
I followed one of your links from Davey and I like you just as much as him he's older and hits topics I'll come across later in life but your living on the same if not higher plane than I so I can someone relate better
I had just as many straight roommates as I did gay... and I surely changed clothes all in the open... and no one ever seemed to have a problem with that LOL
well i had that dorm expierience myself , and i was afraid of the awlwardness of us being there together, so i never said anything and i kind of had a crush on him..little did i know he was gay as well and liked me and he told me like four weeks after living together, and to make a long story short we`ve been going out for 2 years now,so thanks for the advise man!! Just wish i had it a couple years ago!! Lmao
This reminds me of dorm life when i was in college. I graduated a couple of years ago but I didnt come out until the end of college. My roommates all gave me shit for not coming out earlier and they were all excepting. It really made me resent those few years that I stayed ambiguous and kept everyone in the dark. I could have been open and free and had a way more awesome college experience....oh well. Life is good now though that I'm out :)
Dude... one of my roommates went into my laptop when I was not home, and saw a picture of my and my boyfriend lol... but he was cool about it! Though we never really discuss the subject! I don't come out to my roommates because it's none of their business, plus I have my own room with thin walls so nothing sexual will ever happen here lol...
I think that a roommate would go into your laptop is very bad and a good reason to get out. I'm been with my partner for almost 30 years and I've never been someone to root through a bureau or open mail. Privacy is important with strangers and partners.
I had nothing to really say but i wanted to comment anyway lol
(side note, you should of released this in like august, september when people are first headed to college. It's still appreciated and i'm sure there are people who will use the info even now. I love that my side comment is longer then my actual comment. i'm done.)
@MrGuylaugher Thanks for commenting ;) lol. I figured right now would be fine because right now, through February, is when students are hearing back from Universities and also applying for their on-campus housing programs. So I feel like I might get a surge of people around move-in time, but right now students are applying to/hearing about places on many universities, including my own
Great video and really insightful to those young college gay men, but the whole transgender thing just does not go over well in a college dorm room. Transwomen (like myself) really do make heterosexual men question their orientation. Why, cause I am built like a women but yet was born as man. I really do like your videos and you are doing a great thing by posting them. Send the transgender people my way cause I am not going to sugar coat anything. ITS ROUGH OUT THERE!!!!!
Great advice....remeber you are in college to get an education. Be practical, because college is expensive. The best part of college is when it is over. Life begins after college.
@trynow11725 I'm actually in college to experience as many new things as humanly possible. Education is only a part of it. But since I'm paying for my college experience, I think I'll decide what meaning I'm going to give it. :-)
@rcselby1 I made one of my best friends because of it. It's an interesting experience that teaches many how to learn to deal with people. It was pretty valuable for me.
OMG thank you SOOOOOOOO much. Im going to college soon and I was getting so freaking scared and u have just basically answered all my questions. Now when I graduate this year (Which I am FREAKING OUT about) I'll know what to do and stuff thank you so much =^D
@tommygonthomas2 No worries :-) If you have any other questions, please let me know and I can address them in a future video! :D I'm glad you were able to make use of this.
@MrJason300 Yeah, they definitely are pricey. I think some of these words can apply to any situation where someone has a randomly-selected person living with them.
@drdantepereirea It's a natural fear to have, and just be well-informed about your school's policy with room changing and deal with roommates. Basically everyone going into a random-roommate situation is afraid of SOMETHING about their roommate. :-)
