Errr... I live with 3 other guys.  Girls have their advantages and guys
have their advantages.  This past summer I roomed with 4 other girls, and
they complained about me having 3 people (out-of-towners) sleep in our
living room.  Also, they tried to make us all having dinner with each
other "mandatory".  And after rooming with guys for so long, these
concepts were foreign (giving a crap about people staying over and trying
to "force" socialness on one another).

But it was nice to live in a clean place this summer.... so it's a
trade-off.  I must admit, I enjoy being anti-social a lot more 
and it's nice having-friends-over-whenever.

Look at his post more as a "warning".

I'm sure he'd love to room with a Jewish person so he could try to
convert them everyday.  I look at it as "Warning:  You don't want to room
with me unless...."

You should not undermine his intentions.  I think it would be worse if a
"non-Christianlike" person moved in, and it would introduce much
conflict.

Respect people's opinions UNTIL they start treading on your turf.  That's
my view.
