Yeah, and from my understanding there was an implication for people who had one after a certain age, that’s more related to the idea of “why aren’t you married yet”. There was definitely a suspicion when two 40 year olds have been roommates for 20 years and attend social and family events together, rather than two 28 year olds who met via an ad for a roommate in the newspaper a few years ago and are still trying to get ahead in the city.
I could be wrong but I charitably suspect they were referring to the term “roommate” rather than the actual practice.

Good to be charitable but they said not a joke later in this thread.
