The same guy? It's been years, hasn't it? Dave? Don? If he isn't an axe murderer yet, not likely he'll turn into one.
Yep, the very same guy - aka Dave. No, I've never been worried that he might be hiding an insane lust for blood behind his goofy persona. All things being equal, Dave is likely to continue hanging around forever or until I kick him out - whichever comes first. He knows he's got a sweet deal here that he's unlikely to find anywhere else.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You could attempt to turn the tables and try to make him feel uncomfortable, or at least startle him, although he sounds insensitive enough that he wouldn't care.
-Wear a slip or shorty pjs of your own around the house a time or two
-Whistle or make comments about his (pale, hairy, skinny?) legs or his body when he pops out in his undies
-Buy a couple pair of sponge bob skivvies (or some other goofy design) and tell him if he's going to parade around in his underwear that he should at least make it entertaining
I have a male roommate (I'm a girl) and our relationship is completely platonic. He's ten years younger than me and I don't think he likes women very much, anyhow. He mostly stays in his room, but when he comes out to the living room or kitchen where I am and it's after 8:00 pm or so, he's always stripped down to his very minimalist undies, sometimes topped by a T shirt. If he's letting his dog out to do her thing, he just plunks down on the sofa or leans against the door for 10 minutes or so until the dog returns, showing himself off in all his unglory.
I have asked him if he wouldn't mind throwing on a robe before he ventures out of his room, but he just ignores my requests.
I don't consider myself to be a prude by a long shot, but I feel rather uncomfortable to have a semi nude man parading around in front of me whether I like it or not. And I would never dream of wandering around dressed equivalently (say only panties and a bra) in front of him.
Plus, it just feels rude and disrespectful that he would keep this up even though he knows it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Am I wrong to feel the way I do? Is it common practice these days for people to act like they're living in a military barracks with others of the same gender even if they are actually living in a private home with one person of the opposite gender?
Thoughts?
You should have chosen a female roommate. If I had a young female roommate, and if she came out of her room in her underwear, or (God forbid ) naked, I would be incensed ! Well, ok, maybe not incensed, but it would certainly get my attention.
"Half naked" is a term I have always found wanting. It is akin to being half-pregnant.
A person is either naked or he is not. Perhaps "scantily clad" might be more appropriate.
If a person pays rent to be in the living room that person has the right to wear what he wishes.
That’s what caught my eye, too. If this guy is a longtime roommate, what might make him start doing this now? Maybe he thinks the rental is a super deal and he wants HER out so he can look for a male...pal...to parade around nude with.
Hard to believe what rentals have risen to in the area. West Slope Craigslist shows what renters are up against.
Also, is CR subletting the room or is it an informal roommate?
If CR asks him again to put on a robe or whatever and he continues to ignore her, it’s time to look at giving written conditions for the next lease term.
