Does 'Roommate' actually mean 'house mate'?

Like are you actually sharing a studio apartment with another adult, or sharing something more substantial like 2 bedroom apartment, city terrace or something?

Where I was young we didn't have many highrises...

Usually it seems "roommate" means grown adult living in same household, splitting bills, sleeping in separate beds, sharing kitchen, bathroom, etc. Usually a roommate is taken to lessen the load on bills.

Personally I learned while in the military I prefered to NOT have a roommate, I understand some people enjoy the constant presence of others around them, I am not that way.

I can tend to get irked if someone is in my face all the time, and I need time alone to recharge my battery. People wear me down. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I see. I suggest referring to such an arrangement as 'housemate' rather than 'roommate' (as it is the house that is being shared, not the room).

To me a roommate sounds like something you might have at boarding school, in the first year of university or as a destitute living in squalor. (rant and flame now on :P)

*daps hammer*

I get very little enjoyment out of daily mundane conversations with someone who I have no business/money interest with.

If we aren't making money together, do I really care what you had for lunch? Or what girls you are macking? Etc. Not on a Tuesday night, Wednesday night, etc.

ITT nerds pretend to know people.

Yeah if youre 30+ and dont have a wife and kids youre a drug addict loser. Or maybe you just dont give a shit about society standards and you do whatever the fuck you want to do. I personally want to go to work and come home to sit down and play for hours on end in my free time. I enjoy playing games a lot more than the idea of wiping shit off some kids ass and listening to some bitch tell me how to live my life. But hey, you do you and i hope you are enjoying your life half as much as i enjoy mine.
