About the roomies
-I’m a Gen Xer: not an absolute must, but I prefer living with someone over 25.
-Looking for long-term housemate
-Am an INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging). I don’t put too much stock in Myers-Briggs personality types, but it can be a useful (if not altogether accurate) heuristic for understanding a new person. For example, I would say I’m more of an ambivert
-Am a considerate roommate: I clean up after myself, minimize noise when needed. Am seeking similarly considerate roommates
-Good, direct communicator
-Very receptive to feedback
-Am pretty chill and do not make a fuss about trivial things
-Financially stable
-I’ve enjoyed living with roommates (even the less compatible ones)
-Have been living with roommates since 2009 and I am still friends with all of them
-Seeking friendly and nice roommates: we don’t have to be best buds or hang out often, but I hope to become friends and enjoy (or at least not mind) each others’ presence
-Cleanliness: on a scale of 0 to 10 with being never clean and 10 being immediately scrub the whole kitchen after every time I cook, I would say my default is a 7.5
-Proactively tidy and clean up messes
-Try to wipe down any surfaces after I cook
-Have tended to be the cleanest person of the people I’ve lived with
-Work from home a lot since Covid
-Love chilling by myself with a book/magazine/internet (subscriber to The Economist)
-Love dinner parties, catching up with roommates, chill gatherings, and hanging with roommates and friends inside and outside the home
-Have not thrown a “party” party since Covid
-Not much of a TV-watcher but will participate if others are
-Non-smoker
-Sometimes go to bars to hang with friends
-Showers usually take ~15 min, once a day in the early evening
