Generally the dudes they brought home were cool with me, and tried to make a good impression. For me, it was weird to see guys sexually pursue my roommates, when I mainly saw them as annoying people who didn't always clean up after themselves. The girls would generally meet a guy, talk about him for a few weeks, bring him home a three or four times, and then move on. Sometimes they would go out and not come back until the next afternoon.
99% of the time, they were way lamer than I expected. They watched a lot of Netflix. Also, hearing about their dating experiences made me realize how many guys take girls on lifeless dates.
Female roommates like to help you get girls. And sometimes they try to get with you.
This is exactly the kind of thing I meant this thread to be about - Not how annoying females can be as roommates, but rather what did you learn about females and gender relations from them. I'd imagine it's a bit like being a fly on the wall, except you can usually talk to them about their dating/sexual exploits.
It's also interesting how you'd see your roommates in a certain light from living with them (When they're in "relaxation mode" and not "go out and impress people mode), so I definitely agree that it would be weird to wonder what guys see in the girls you encounter most of the time in sweatpants and baggy shirts, no makeup, etc. I also figured they spent way too much time watching Netflix. I've never dated a girl with a bookshelf in her room or any real hobbies, no matter how smart she was, most of their free time was spent on their phones or watching TV.
And that's cool that you got to see the other side of how a girl reacts to a dude she likes by talking about him a lot. Same with the boring dates. I've learned a bit about text game from having girls I know read me texts from their beta orbiters/wannabe suitors and seeing how viscerally it made them cringe. It's really common to see guys text more than the girl, text immediately after she responds, use smilies, and phrase their sentences like a business email ("Hello Tiffany, it was excellent meeting you the other day. If you're available Friday night, would you like to go get dinner and drinks? Please call me tonight after 7. Thanks!").
