The Big Bang Theory has held its own in the TV world and remains one of the longest running sitcoms of our generation. What makes it so great is the characters and their interactions with one another. All of them have their own little quirks—especially the guys, which translates into laughs for viewers at home. Still, they somehow manage to find love and friendship while maintaining viable careers. That just goes to show that nerdy isn't always negative.
Beyond the nerd aspect, they have different personalities that seem to make them more or less desirable as a friend or as a roommate. What makes Leonard Hofstadter so lovable is the fact that he is ready and willing to put up with anything Sheldon throws his way. No doubt, it takes a special person to live with Sheldon Cooper.
That's not to say that any of these guys are always easy to live with, including Leonard. Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj all have a way of getting on people's nerves after some time. Like any person, it all comes down to what someone can or can't live with to determine if he or she is an ideal roommate match. These questions will help anyone see which Big Bang nerd would make the perfect roommate.
What age should a person move out on his or her own?
Some people feel totally independent once they get their braces off, while others are content living at home until their 30s. When a person decides to officially grow up by leaving the comforts of home makes a big difference in how he or she lives as an independent (or still dependent) adult.
What is the ultimate comfort food?
Most people think of comfort food as something their mom or grandma used to make. It's usually laden in calories and not as easy to come by as most foods. However, the ideal comfort food really depends on where a person grew up and the dynamics of his or her family. What sounds weird to one person might be the favorite dish of another.
What would be the ultimate weekend?
Like most friends, the Big Bang guys often disagree on what to do in their spare time. Sure, they all enjoy going Comic-Con or seeing the newest Marvel movie on opening night. But it's those noneventful, average weekends where they seem to have different ideas of what is most fun.
It's hard to not watch every episode of which show?
Most people who share a space with someone else have learned to keep a TV in their own bedroom. That way they can watch whatever they want without consulting anyone else in the house. Still, it's always nice when roommates equally enjoy a show so that they can watch it together in the common area.
What is a must before moving in together?
Whether a significant other or a roommate, having someone new move in is a big deal. Ground rules will need to be made so that everyone involved understands the boundaries. Some of the Big Bang guys are easier going when it comes to sharing personal space, while others are rather ornery.
What would be a fun place to visit?
Even the most introverted homebodies like Sheldon enjoy traveling from time to time. It's not necessary for a person to like the same travel destination as his or her roommate, but it can come in handy if planning a fun outing together. It also gives the two some common ground for new conversations.
A case of insomnia might lead to what?
Not sleeping is fun whenever its intended. But when a person isn't sleeping simply because he or she can't sleep, well, that sucks. Different people come up with ways to deal with insomnia whenever it hits them. Some work, some play and some do little more than watching the clock tick away.
Christmas is here, which means it's time to do what?
When it comes to Christmas, there are generally two kinds of people. There are those who love everything Christmas from the music and movies to the food and parties. Then, there are others who can't wait for the holiday to end. Only a few people fall in between, and they are the ones who keep everyone else calm.
What would be the best game night ever?
Sometimes a game night is needed after a long week at work. It can help destress even the most serious of friends and offer up some healthy competition. Similar to TV shows, it's always helpful when roommates agree on a favorite game so that they can play it together any time.
Which drink?
Some people like hanging out at bars or prefer a strong drink at home, while others are content sipping something more elementary. A person's drinking habits usually reflect his or her lifestyle. Not everyone is up to the challenge of dealing with a wasted roommate who needs a ride home in the wee hours of the night.
Which snack?
When roommates agree on what snacks they want to stock up the pantry, it can go really well or really badly. Sometimes it can be a bit of both. It's nice to share the grocery bill and always know that a favorite snack is on hand. However, that snack might not always be on hand if one roommate eats it all first.
What is important to have before getting married?
The wives and girlfriends of The Big Bang Theory guys are just as diverse as the guys themselves. Different people look for various traits when it comes to dating and starting a relationship. What a person deems important in a mate often reveals a lot about that person and his or her priorities.
Work bonuses are in, so how is that money put to use?
Much like Christmastime, money is another topic that can put people at opposite ends of the spectrum. Some people are huge spenders and some are huge savers. The spenders might be self-focused or rather generous by spending their money on others. Money habits can often affect the way a roommate handles paying bills.
Which Elton John song?
Elton John is one of those musicians who has established himself as a true legend in the music industry. He is not only a talented singer but also gifted at playing the piano. His songs range from sad to upbeat, offering something for everybody to enjoy. A person's favorite Elton John song might say a lot about him or her.
Which restaurant?
When it comes to eating out, there are so many options. First, it's important to consider the price and atmosphere. Not everyone likes going to a fancy restaurant. After that matter is settled, it's time to decide on the type of food. Just like with snacks, when roommates agree on where to eat, it can be convenient.
What's the deal with getting sick?
It's never fun to be sick. Even though it might mean getting to take some time off work or catching up on much-needed sleep, it still sucks to feel weak and irritable. Some people simply refuse to be sick and push themselves to exhaustion by ignoring true symptoms. Others are always a little sick and play it safe.
How about pets?
There are people who love animals and think that having a pet to love on and play with is so much fun. Others prefer to steer clear of animals at all costs. Then, there are those who could take them or leave them. They might not want a pet, but don't mind if a roommate brings one home.
Saturday mornings consist of what?
Saturday is a day off work for most people. That means a free day to rest or play. Saturday morning might mean sleeping in or getting out and exploring the town. It helps when roommates are on the same page when it comes to waking up and milling about on the weekend.
Which would be better to have?
Life is hard, especially for those of us who have to work for a living. Some days it's all about making it through until bedtime. That's when it's nice to daydream about having a little help to make life easier. Sure, a roommate could come in handy, but not as much as winning the lottery.
What is the best way to meet someone?
Meeting new people can be a little hard for introverts, especially when it comes to trying to attract a love interest. Some play it cool and let the other person do all the work, but others prefer to actively go on the hunt. Then, there are those who prefer a friend set them up with someone.
What is the most intimidating?
Different personalities are more pronged to feeling intimidated, but everyone feels a little intimidated from time to time. Even a genius like Sheldon Cooper has his moments of weakness where he isn't on top of his game. A good roommate would do his or her best to not put a friend in an awkward situation.
Where is the safest place to keep money?
Even those who enjoying spending money know the importance in saving at least some money. Nowadays, a lot of people choose to keep their money in the bank or invest in stocks. Other people are a little more old-school and go with a safe or collectibles. Then, there are those who think credit cards are actual money machines.
How about public speaking?
So many people are scared of speaking in public that many polls list it as the number one fear, even outranking a person losing his or her life. It takes a special kind of person to hop up in front of a crowd and give a speech without a little liquid courage.
What impresses people the most?
It's hard to impress some people, while others seem to be impressed by very little. It's important to know if a person hinges happiness on his or her roommate's opinion, especially when it comes to personal matters. Having common interests and the same sense of humor could really help roommates get along.
A good friend will do what?
In the same vein of different people preferring different traits in a mate, individuals value various traits in a friend. What makes a good friend to one person might be different for another. So admiring the same attributes in people is a good commonality for roommates to have, because it will often lead to mutual respect for one another.
What is the perfect first date?
Whenever a person finds that special someone, he or she will forever remember their first date. Sometimes things might not go as expected, but that can make the date even more memorable. Everyone has that perfect first date in mind, even before meeting the person he or she wants to invite along.
What mode of transportation is best?
Sheldon Cooper doesn't drive, but that has never stopped him from getting where he needs to go. He is always willing and ready to hitch a ride however he can to get to where he needs to go. However, he and the rest of the guys all have a favorite way to travel.
Which color?
A favorite color says more about a person than one might think. Sheldon likes to choose his color of shirt to match his mood. Other people like to wear the same color repeatedly or mismatch colors as if they simply rolled out of bed and put something on out of necessity.
Which flavor of ice cream?
So we've already asked about preferred snack foods, but ice cream deserves its own question. Ice cream is not just a snack and not just a dessert but a true treat. There is nothing like going to an ice cream parlor with dozens of flavors and toppings offered to create the perfect treat.
What is the best way to get someone's attention?
No matter how good of a listener a person's roommate might be, he or she will still need to be called to attention from time to time. A frustrated person might do something extreme and cause a scene, while someone with a more understanding personality might simply go to the phone.
Who is the most special?
We all know that while roommates can become close friends, there are still others who will take precedence over that relationship. Most people put family above everyone else, while others will stop at nothing to please a significant other. Beyond that, there are animal lovers who insist a pet is anything but simply a pet.
Which superhero?
Halloween is a fun time to dress up like a superhero. Some diehard fans dress up as characters to attend a movie or comic convention. Beyond that, children and the guys from The Big Bang dress up like superheroes any time they please. It's important that roommates know this ahead of move-in time.
What is the best way to get back at someone?
Even the nicest people in the world can sometimes be pushed to the limit by others. When that happens, the offended party has a choice to make. That choice isn't whether to retaliate but rather how to retaliate. Should that person give the offender the cold shoulder or devise a plan of attack?
What is most important about eating a meal?
A meal is much more than simply eating food. So much goes into a meal that few of us stop to consider. Someone had to plan and prepare the meal. The company present at the dinner table and where they are seated can also make a difference in whether someone is enjoying a meal.
Which hobby?
Hobbies say a lot about a person. That's because hobbies happen when there is free time, and free time is the chance for a person to do whatever it is he or she wants to do instead of what has to be done. Roommates who share the same hobbies will likely become good friends.
