I'm a woman moving in with six of my best guy friends. How do I survive?

Wow, that sounds like the tag line for the really awful spin-off Full House never got. I can't tell you for sure how to survive, and in fact if you suspect that any of these men might kill you, I'd hesitate to call them your "best friends."

I hate to stereotype (he said, about to do so), but I think six guys is some kind of critical mass of man--my old wrestling name, incidentally--that will cause the home to sink into a whirlpool of testosterone-fueled dudeness and dude-isms.

Some of what you can expect:

A mess. Yes, there are neat men and messy women, but six dudes? I hope you've prepared mentally to step through piles of inexplicably damp clothing while picking your way to a bathroom you'd be wiser to leave a mystery.

Drama. I know, normally a chick thing, but I maintain the theory that in any girl's group of six close guy friends, no less than 2.8 have a secret crush on you. And make no mistake; they WILL start shit with one another at some point, even if it's just moping around the house in each others' general vicinities.

Sitcom-style awkward moments. Hey, I applaud your efforts at immersing yourself in the world of men, but if you spend any length of time living with six guys, be ready to walk in on one masturbating (because they all are pretty much all the time) or have one do the same to you. THIS WILL HAPPEN. The important thing to remember is that you're all friends, and that avoiding eye contact by looking down doesn't help anyone.

Assuming you survive, I highly recommend you write a book chronicling your experiences. You could call it "All Man." And before you ask: yes, I will gladly appear on its cover.

I've been the only girl in a house of 6 for ages now and it's great fun! Yes the kitchen and bathroom are fairly disgusting but it's much more fun than living with girls. Although I am now de-sensitised so much I used to find disgusting, play computer games and swear a lot more....

* sorry, de-sensitised to so much

2.8 % ??? so are you saying that 2.8% of my guy friends have a secret crush on me??? That's awesome!!!!

2.8 of 6 is closer to 48%, no?

She should write a memoir. I'd totally read that!

Sounds like you are in for a lot of fun if you are uninhibited enough and the guys are not so insecure they get too jealous or too bashful. Think of all the possibilities...

Just let em know what your rules are and enjoy...shoot for a world record number of orgasms -- right?

Sounds like you are in for a lot of fun if you are uninhibited...and if the guys are not insecure and bashful.

Think of all the possibilities. You might go for a world record number of orgasms -- right?

Gordon

A good time can be had by all if you are uninhibited enough, and if the guys are not too bashful, insecure or jealous.

Explore all the possibilities and go for a world record number of orgasms!

why are my earlier attempts to post a comment on this question not showing up on my computer screen until I submit the last one? Tell me what I'm doing wrong, please, GuySpeak...

You usually have to reload to see them, like Youtube.

Sounds like fun!
BTW, I don't agree with the 2.8 secret friend crush! All of my male friends treat me like a pesky little sister.

I was totally the only girl in my house - I ended up in a 4 year relationship with one of the guys though & I was treated like one of the guys for the most part except when it came to forgiving my bf for not being around - i'm guessing because they knew he was being taken care of...
I found there was one of each in my house - a messy one (and i mean hide cereal bowls under the couch & finding them weeks later mouldy as sh!t messy), the one with bad hygiene, the clean quiet one, the philisophical pot head & the pot head who was a great cook. Needless to say BBQs were had, food was great - and boys know how to have fun, but the drama...i won't lie the house was divided between clean people & carefree messy people. After that setup I went to 1 of 2 girls in a 6 person house - as long as homelife personalities are somewhat similar living with boys is much easier (as long as you aren't a miss priss...)

It sounds like you've hit the mother lode here.
My friend once lived in a house with three boys. One of them became my boyfriend.
Be sure to spread the wealth!

I have to say that for the last few of hours i have been hooked by the impressive articles on this blog. Keep up the wonderful work.
