On all too rare evenings I have an overnite female guest.
What sort of things do you like or dislike about a man's home? What sort of considerations do you really appreciate?
I keep the place clean and have spare towels/toothbrushes etc.
If I expect this date, the sheets will be freshly washed. Otherwise I wash them weekly.
Thinking maybe: Flowers, scents, sheet styles (silk?), feminine hygene items,
I'm redoing my bedroom and willing to make it an inviting, comforting place.
Remember it's still a man's home, the object is to cater to women without me seeming gay.
Soft lighting, tasteful decor, minimalism... and above all, keep it tidy!

Sorry... edit facility is playing up...
I think if you have too much 'female paraphenalia' a lady might think you're a regular player and it's left over from a previous encounter.
Flowers are nice, but healthy plants are more.... genuine....
As you say, you want to come over as caring (which i'm sure you are....!) but don't go overboard.
A spare toothbrush is a nice touch....

Do not change anything... keep it 'personal'.. as long as it is clean (a must) and if it's masculine (hotel chic) that's a bonus.. it tells the woman you have good taste.. spare towels and toothbrush is nice thought.. bathrooms MUST be clean... and the linens fresh...
Don't go overboard with decorations.. candles, feminine hygiene stuff... and flowers... keep it simple and inviting..

Someday I hope to have enough money to afford both two wives and two separate places of living, and then I can run an experiment on being a typical male slob and a clean one.

Interesting... if you ever do the experiment.. come back and tell us all about it..
The main thing I like is cleanliness, clean smelling.
I would find it odd if he had feminine products because I would wonder just how many/how often females were over.
Any other "considerations" I would appreciate more only if we've been dating/seeing each other for a while and he has picked up on things I like, or I've told him...such as a type of soda, tea, coffee that I like, or having the food to prepare one of my favorite breakfast foods, maybe a snack or dessert I like, etc.
From a guy who was single and owned his own home for 15 years prior to getting married: Keep it clean and in your style. That includes the closets
I don't know if you mean metaphorical closets, or a literal closet, but both work.
I really dislike nosey people going through my closets, but I've had a few men do that. There was nothing to hide, but the one was just getting the "tour" of my place, and as he went through was opening up every door and drawer he could. I jokingly commented, but I was definitely annoyed with it.
Oh, and medicine cabinets...there's a lot of people who snoop in those...so clean it out and if there's something in there you may not want her to see, keep it elsewhere.

I'm with everyone else especially Serabella.
I would feel very flattered if he had picked up on things I like and told him about them. Would be a very nice way to get to a woman... well, this woman anyway!
