Anyone noticed there are no male roommates?

I would have put this under Gameplay - Apartment Life Only but that wasn't showing up for some reason!

I've noticed something very odd about the game: the only roommates available are always female! No matter what, I can't find a male roommate for my male sims (I'm talking about the uncontrollable, NPC roommates here, not the kind that you ask to move in with you). Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a known glitch in the game? Can it be fixed in any way?

You are talking about when you look in the newspaper (or place an ad out for a roommate and then get phone calls), correct? I know I have gotten male roommates in the past. It's possible you may have some CC that is messing with things. It's also possible that it could just be how the pool currently is in your game. I know I always have to wait a few Sim days for the job pool to cycle a bit to get the selection I want.

Yes, I am talking about that. Trouble is, I've let it get up to two (sim) weeks and there are no male roommates!

I've had two women looking for roommates and both only got a choice of men. First one got all Romance, second got a mixed bag - took a Knowledge sim.

I don't understand how the roommate pool works, but for a sample this size I'm thinking we both got statistical clusters. The roommate pool is made out of existing townies, I know that much.
