Clean house and women

Post Reply New Topic

I admit I keep my room, and bathroom rather messy. My mom tells me if I had a nice girl over and she saw it they would turn around and leave. Like my Bathroom has toothpaste in the sink and towels in the hamper filled to the top. If I want a decent looking girl would they think thats a big turnoff a guy who doesnt take care of stuff?

i think many would be turned off, letsgoblues. i would, and i'm not the world's greatest housekeeper myself.

if your rooms are a mess, it looks as though you haven't bothered to make an effort.

What a girl looks like has nothing to do with how they react to a mess.

Decent looking people and what some would class as "not" are not 2 different species.

They can't be catagorised into groups about what they think.

Yep, I agree with the others, if a guy can't take care of himself or his personal belongings than what's to guarantee that he will respect her and take good care of her. If I walked into a guy's place and it was a mess, I'd turn around and walk out. I may not be a perfect housekeeper but I would expect some semblance of order and cleanliness out of an adult male.

This a good idea for most guests; it gives them a good impression right away. It's rare that it would give a bad impression.

Well I keep my car clean. I have a Mustang so I want it to look good. Would that impress her? Try to show off?

I'm not sure, I don't know the girl. Some girls do care about nice cars, others don't. It certainly would be good if it's clean though, or she'll notice it and think "Ick". It's good to never have her think "Ick" for sure!

my aspie room mate's room is always a disgusting mess. paper, clothes, piles of used tissues, food "to go" containers, food crumbs, potato chip bags, candy wrappers, bottles, cans, dirty socks, DVDs, video games, electrical gadgets, sex toys, etc... always all over the floor and IN HIS BED. i love him very much but once he moves out, i will *NEVER* live with him ever again.

lol, my stepmom would say that to me. but then again i was cleaning up after like 8 people. it's not that i'm messy, just the workload was something else to keep up with and i'd slack.

just try not to let your room look like a hurricane victim on a regular basis, ok kid ?
some semblance of order and cleanliness is appreciated by anyone

Perhaps what you might want to consider is the difference between "dirty" and "untidy"?
"Untidy" is usually fine - my office is very untidy, but no-one objects if I have to move a load of paperwork out of the way so they can sit down.
"Dirty" will cause problems - if I had a load of old plates and junk food wrappers on that same chair, it would be a problem for most people. (And me!)
Rather chaotic and "lived-in" is usually ok, as long as you deal with the "ick" factor.
Piles of books lying around, or stuff on a special interest might be fine, but clean the kitchen & bathroom before anyone comes round, and make sure there is no icky stuff lying about.
Apart from that, you should be ok.
With a little work and a list, I have developed a routine to check that things are accceptable before someone comes round....
Some houses I have been into I will not sit on anything, and it becomes a case of "wipe your feet on the way out"! That is just gross! It will not give a good impression, and may even be a health hazard. That is the point where others are entitled to say that they will not set foot in that house again - I have had to do so.

(Will just add that this is not an attack on those who genuinely struggle to keep a house in order - so do I! - this is an attempt to help the OP see why it might matter.)

I'd agree that the untidy/dirty distinction is quite important. I've always been disorganised and probably always will be to some extent, despite my efforts, but I don't leave dirty laundry, garbage or unclean dishes lying around the place.
