<p>jessica alba is everyone's type</p>
<p>aha..not mine..cuz me no likey girls like that</p>
<p>It's hard to explain. A picture of her, naked, no makeup, I'd probably be turned on. I'm not saying my preference for queer women is inborn or anything... definitely cultural. But I find the kind of femininity that's dominant in our society to be a big turnoff a lot of the time, so even Jessica Alba... the hotness ends up obscured, and then you don't really get liftoff. I can recognize hot when I see it in a straight woman, but that doesn't mean she <em>does it</em> for me.</p>
<p>My best friend is basically an abercrombie model but I have no attraction. honestly.</p>
<p>Some of us can distinguish when it's appropriate. Close friends, rooommates, coworkers - there's a time nad place for everything.</p>
<p>why is it women hang out with gay guys?</p>
<p>It's a guy friend that they can have that won't be hitting on them? I still think a guy would be smart to pretend to be gay for a year in college, build up the network of hot girl friends, and then "rediscover himself" and shag each and every one of them. I don't have the patience, but it's a thought.</p>

Straight girls really aren't my thing (even if they're into me, which does happen. Sigh).

<p>Wha-wha-wha?</p>
<p>You're special. </p>
<p>Soooo many gay girls would kill to be in your shoes...and wouldn't waste the opportunity ;].</p>
<p>i think it's a great opportunity to do some conversions. i'm a great converter. u should ask me for advises.</p>
<p>lol i love sauron</p>
<p>if you love him so much why dont you marry him</p>
<p>Well, being as he hasn't blatantly announced his sexual preference on Facebook, you shouldn't assume someone's sexuality just on their appearances. In the case that he is, no biggie. Homosexuals are the same as heterosexuals as humans, only difference is who they're attracted to. </p>
<p>And for the comments that people said about not using "fag" or "that's so gay" when he's around; well, that's good for a start, but it shouldn't be used ever, even in the presence of straight people.</p>
<p>This is an issue that I might have to deal with. This fall, I am going to UCSC, which I heard has a very active gay and lesbian community. If I get assigned a gay roomate, I'm not quite sure how I would react. I'm not a homophobe, but still...</p>
<p>BTW,

<p>Genius!!!</p>
<p>I really don't think having a gay roomie would be anything more than the usual challenge of trying to coexist peacefully with another person in a small space.</p>
<p>That said, you'll probably be more likely to avoid using hurtful words. It's a good habit to break anyway.</p>
<p>have you never been around a gay person for a long period of time? i hear they're usually very moody. but it might be pretty fun. it'd be like living with a girl you don't want more to do with than being just friends. lol.</p>
<p>haha gay roommate...i would be out of there as fast as possible</p>
<p>Yea, so the mail just came and along came my housing info sheet with the name of my two roomates. Facebooked them to gauge who they are and yea, one of them is apparently black. well..ok his pictures seem to say hes black. So just wondering if anyones ever had a black roomate and what was it like? Did you two get along fine? Any conflict? Anything I shoudl know about?</p>
<p>i would get a new room</p>
<p>areyouserioussss - OMG a black person!!!?? There basically a different species! Where do I begin..well you should be aware of black people's need to steal and uncontrollable love for fried chicken so have a bucket around just in case. Oh and there not speaking gibberish, it's called "Ebonics."</p>
<p>LMAO
that was genius areyouseriou/agentdemon</p>
<p>areyouseriouss,
Have you never been around people who are not of your race before? Did you ask a serious question?</p>
<p>My family is black and we have friends of different races. My son is going to college next month, and will be in a triple. My hope is that whatever races and ethnicities his roommates may be, they either are entering the situation with interest or have had the kind of exposure to the variety of people in the world that my son has had.</p>
<p>About 15 years ago, a black student whom I knew was assigned a white roommate for her freshman year at Michigan State U. This was in the days before facebook and widespread Internet use.</p>
<p>The black student had a sophisticated background and was from Detroit -- played violin in a youth orchestra, was a stellar student in high school, well traveled, and already had a journalism job with one of the largest newspapers in the state. Her white roommate was from a rural area in Michigan.</p>
<p>When the roommate and her parents saw the black student, their jaws literally dropped. The white student barely spoke to her roommate. Within a few days, the white student had managed to move out -- clearly a move made due to her fears of having a black roommate.</p>
<p>I think of that story often as I consider the fact that my S is heading to college and asked for a triple because he likes the idea of having roommates. I hope he doesn't run into someone of a different race who assumes my S plays basketball and runs in gangs (the kind of things said to another black student whom I know who had white roommates) or would steal their stuff.</p>
<p>And people wonder why some black students would prefer to go to historically black colleges.In case it's not obvious: It's so that they don't have to cope with potential roommates who fear them or dislike them simply because of their race. Going away to college is stressful enough without wondering whether your rommates will reject you or stereotype you just because of your race.</p>
