johan Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I live on my own in a 4 bedroom house. 4 split levels. It's a lot of house for me, but I like it. While I have decent furniture in every room, I'm not much for decor. I can't see myself shopping for rugs and paintings and stuff. So you could call it spartan, but tasteful. I've had a little system going for the past couple of months that has gotten my house clean. Every room. It's just a kick I'm on, although I'd like to keep it clean. I think about bringing women over, and what they'd think walking through the door the first time. They might think I'm obsessive and they might be afraid to mess anything up (except, hopefully, the bed). I'd like to think they'd think I take care of myself and my stuff. But there's a line you cross where you become Monk, and I'm damn near there. Just wondering what the women think of this. Maybe I should leave a few pairs of socks laying around or quit making my bed or something.
alphamale Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Just wondering what the women think of this. Maybe I should leave a few pairs of socks laying around or quit making my bed or something. Dude...if your crib is too clean then women will think its strange. It needs to be a bit messy but not a pig sty. Women need to think you'll need them for something other than their orifices.
Author johan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 ...Women need to think you'll need them for something other than their orifices. But I don't.
alphamale Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 But I don't. No sweat man. What i'm saying is that to get them into your bedroom its better that your crib in neither too clean or too dirty. Do you understand now?
Outcast Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I've seen a few too many films where the guy who has all his suits perfectly lined up in the closet and every sock folded impeccably turns out to be a control freak murderer. And yes, I know it's the movies but any sort of sign of controlling tendencies would have me running for the hills. It's a very short leap from controlling your environment to wanting to control the living beings in it, I figure. Clean is good but a little clutter looks like you actually live there. If she sees you twitching because she didn't hang the dishtowel back up exactly two inches from the other one, you're toast.
westernxer Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Alpha's got it right... vacuum the floor but don't scrub the walls.
Author johan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 Yeah, that's why I posted this thread. But I want to hear what women have to say. I'm sure some of the more experienced ones have some stories to tell. Like I said, I can always throw a little dirty laundry around before I bring someone over. It'll bug me though...
westernxer Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Just scatter a few papers around the place. Newspaper, computer printouts, etc.
alphamale Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 But I want to hear what women have to say. but women won't give you a straight answer JOHAN....they'll all say the just love it when a dude's pad is spotless and you can eat off the toilet.
Author johan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 Well, where are they anyway? I guess this topic isn't interesting to them. I'm sure they'd be all over it if I posted "Clean Dick, Dirty Dick, Does it matter?"
alphamale Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Well, where are they anyway? They're all over at their boyfriend's not-to-clean apartments giving them head
FataMorgana Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 hey, what's wrong with having a nice clean place? you are doing it so you feel comfortable there and especially if you don't care what the women you bring over think, as you only want to sleep with them, why not just please yourself and have your place as you like it. I dont' mind a guy's nice clean place, but have been accused of the same thing as a woman (keep my place pretty neat), think it's a matter of personality as to what level of tolerance you have for messy-ness...hence who like messy, likes messy who doesn't ..well

Pink Amulet Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I would love to watch you clean... could you wear a maids outfit while you did it? I could just sit back and smoke a cigar, and have you tend to me only when the house was completely spotless... heaven.
quankanne Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 "Clean Dick, Dirty Dick, Does it matter?" house – no. Dick – yes. :sick: I'd love to hear your process for keeping the place clean, I'm one of those who tends to slide toward "happily disarrayed" and refuse to worry unless the dust bunnies are of "Night of the Lepus" proportion, so any ideas of organization/cleanliness would be of help. as far as too clean, cleanliness can never be underrated, especially in bathrooms and kitchens (which I do stay on top of), though it's less about being too clean than it is about making the place say "This is my pad." You can stay within boundaries of cleanliness but still personalize by letting her see what you read (books, magazines), by keeping some plants inside to liven up the place, by making it feel comfortable by displaying what stuff you do have on hand. Doesn't have to be fussy or new, just something that shows you. even a sign taped to the bedroom door proclaiming that "a nice, clean Mr. Happy sleeps here" would add some charm :laugh:
Kittiecat Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Doesn't matter to me. Just as long as it isn't his parents' house.
whichwayisup Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 but women won't give you a straight answer JOHAN....they'll all say the just love it when a dude's pad is spotless and you can eat off the toilet. Yeah that made me laugh! Too funny... Here's my thoughts, straight up! Messy as in abit of clutter is OK, but not "dirty." Abit of dust isn't bad but you don't wanna see mould around the shower/bathtub/sink area's... I don't mind a messy bedroom...Makes it more cozy.
Pyro Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I am going against the majority, but I am a clean person. I am not to the point of having my clothes perfectly lined up, but I don't let dust accumulate on my floor. I haven't had a problem with having women here in the past. In fact, I have been complimented on being a clean person. You don't have to be a COMPLETE neat freak, but make sure to keep the dust bunnies off the floor.
Rikka Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Clean is good. I would rather be in a clean place than in a place that smells funny and has rotting food piled up. I wouldn't be too concerned about the cleanliness. The spartan look though, sterility is not inviting.
melodymatters Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 It's not how neat or how messy a mans house is, but what it TELLS you about him. I completely agree that the men Ive dated who were neat freaks were also control freaks. Coincedence ? Maybe, but here's 2 "funny" stories ( and they are funny cuz i'm not with these jerks anymore lol) 1) had a neatfreak BF who lived in an apt adjoining his recording studio. I have long blonde hair, which one will notice more when shed than a guys short hair. He belived that I should vaccum his apt and his studio since after all " it was my hair". My reply was " you want a chick with long blonde hair, you pay the price, if it drives you too crazy, go out with a chick with a crew cut " !!! 2)I am a gourmet cook, and love to make nice dinners for me and my man. Neat freak#2, couldn't stand the fact that his kitchen would get messed up ( and of course I cleaned up when I was done) and would always angle to make frozen dinners instead, because they were " neater" So, whether it's messy or clean when the woman gets there, is less important than how anal you are while she IS there. melody
tinktronik Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 My s/o is a neat freak . Everything would be spotless all of the time , perfectly in place .Initially it was an attraction to me b/c I am a person who dosent really have a static place for anything but still seem to know where everything is ,I would classify it as comfortably cluttered . At first it was a bit irritating having my own system , then having him put things back where they belong, but I would imagine he found it to be irritating from my end . Now he knows that if I had something last and he needs it to look for the last place he would put it ..... So , from a standpoint of experience , I would say that at this point I don't mind a man with a perfectly clean place at all.
a4a Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Depends on the woman. I would not want to screw around with a lazy slob. Too lazy to pick his dirty socks off the floor then probably too lazy in general for me. I like Monk type men.... those little sock drawer things that divide each pair of socks :bunny: To me it shows that he has a sense of pride about his home, he is organized, and not lazy. He has his act together in general. Now if he has no food in his cabinet or frig...... minus the squeeze bottle of mustard and just beer in there..... tells me he is really way too busy running around town and being a man whore :lmao: out dated frig items and moldy experimental food are a sign of procrastination and avoidance too! and too many pictures of family members...... RUN!!! Too many pics of himself...... run really really fast frig magnets.... major turn off unless it is just one that is in use to hold a reminder of something that needs immediate attention....or like concert tickets or something.
melodymatters Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 and too many pictures of family members...... RUN!!! Too many pics of himself...... run really really fast OMG !!! TOO true ! That is right on track in my experience ! love it.....
