Posted: 1/9/2007 4:51:54 PM | I also try to eliminate guys who are insulting, condescending, rude
You brought it up, honey.
Ironic thing is that you just described yourself. That was insulting, condescending and rude to every man who is not THAT man. Did you wear white gloves so you could check for dust?
Can you imagine guys? She's SINGLE!!!!
Condemning a whole gender because YOU picked a guy who does not place a high value on spending his life cleaning is just tacky.
Enjoy the single life. May I suggest to you that the limit for cats to keep you company should be somewhere around 4. You MAY find someone who doesn't mind a controlling woman like you appear to be, but i wish you luck and am thankful that I live in Ohio where we won't meet.
I am in the camp where my house stays neat. And because my house is neat, women say I spend too much time at home, one said I was gay, and they generally seem to think I am Felix Unger.
Perhaps her head indeed exploded.
If it did, I am sure she cleaned the mess up immediately. | |

Eddie, I totally agree. Many men are quite fastidious. I managed to find one without even looking. I was almost embarrassed to be in his home because it was so clean and so spartan I felt like the little match girl on a holiday and afraid of what he would think if I had him to MY home, which is full of probably way too much stuff.
We are *all* different - men, women - it doesn't matter the gender. Some are clean and tidy, others are not. Gender has nothing to do with it at all. | |

I know what your saying about wondering about a underlying meaning of the filth. Turned out there was a meaning with my guy. He didn't stick to anything, nor finish anything. He wasn't reliable period. He also trashed my yard by dragging over all kinds of junk. Said he would pick it up after he emptied his truck. Of course this never happened any more than he ever cleaned his house. I finally had to haul the stuff out to clean up my yard. It seemed to me that his life was out of control and he was out to make my life out of control.
I think some of the posters are not understanding the extent of the filth you describe. I understand it perfectly. I remember that house did not have a clean spot anywhere. It wasn't that he was too busy to clean his own mess. I think he has adult ADD or something. | |

this is a reflection on who you are and that women judge you by your environment Yeah, and if someone isn't messy, then a person will find something else to judge them on (perhaps being too neat, thinking they're obsessive...). I think you might want to simmer down a bit.
Okay, for some reason, that message is "too short" and I'm not able to post it, so I will babble....babble, babble, babble...there, long enough? | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 5:32:10 PM | Well Angel, it's all in the way you were raised I guess. I spent 2 years living in a studio apartment, and the place was so small to begin with that if I didn't keep it picked up it looked even smaller. It was a tiny place in the trendy area of Cleveland when living downtown was cool. Just a bog 18x15 foot box.... I used furniture to break it into "rooms". Had I let stuff lay around it would have blocked off the entry to the living area.
I have a feelng that this woman is a neat freak and the guy's place just wasn't up to HER standards. And bottom line, just go to her place if it bothers her that much. Just don't take the plastic covers off the couch and lamps or use the guest towels.....
Wish I was up your way to go to the Anchor Bar for wings.....  | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 6:10:19 PM | | Beware, I actually met a neat freak that got upset at me for using the guest towels because that meant she "had to wash them now". The only other towels that were out were used shower towels. Hmmm... maybe I should have air dried? | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 6:18:22 PM | Women and men are messes when they believe it is death in an unmade bed, I'd rather sweep the sand off my feet.
Interestingly the op said this "partner" was perfect in all other ways...YOU are asking too much if everything else suits even those wonderful designer clothes? What did you do; undress him to check out the tags where it was made?
I'd rather be loved than worry about an ironed tee towel for it certainly does not make the dishes dry any better.
If people come to visit your home, they are not worth opening the door for, it's friends/lovers who only see your heart.
...From a former neat freak who no longer irons socks. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 8:41:09 PM | So where the hell you supposed to work on the bikes? Living room is warm and you can watch the tube while you work on the bike.
Dirty dishes? A plate that has egg on it will work for the next egg meal no? HINT: Use extra ketchup so it doesn't dry out between breakfasts.
Dirty socks are OK, just turn them inside out and they work for another day !
"no clean surface on which to sit"? Wear coveralls; we do!
"spring cleaning" has more than one meaning; spring comes once a year.
Last but not least; post what you are looking for on your profile and don't **** because some people live differently than you! | |

She doesn't have time to waste on a forum she's done her b itching and now is busy micro cleaning her place before her next date. She wouldn't want to look like an ax murderess or something. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 6:38:08 AM | I'm going to guess she's one of those people who have a list of 'pet peeves' a mile long, but insist her dates 'love me for who I am'.
Hmmmm........Single much? | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 6:45:22 AM | | another woman making a genralization, taking one man and projecting it onto the entire gender. ive had a few women with stinky genitalia, but i dont project that onto the entire species. before you go to their house after one or two dates, why dont you ask what his hygiene is like, what his house is like. If he wont clean up when he is getting female company thats a bad sign. Also invite him to your house instead. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 7:02:19 AM | If you grew up with brothers, then you know that most men are messy! But, my experience has also been that most men will change those habits when a woman enters their lives and especially moves in. Most men are happy to go with the status quo on those things.
I do however know some men who are more anal than women, and that kinda gives me a chuckle. I also know some women who are messier than men.
Personally, it is not something I base an opinion of a person on. Of course, I think if I entered a house where there was extreme filth - I'd be running as there could be dead bodies or god knows what hanging around lol. | |

Such an imagination, we guys don't leave dead bodies hanging around that's just our laundry, the bodies are neatly packed in the freezer. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 7:16:09 AM | | Sorry, but in my experience most men can be tidier than women living alone... sad but true. I've been over to several "bachelor" pads and they were pretty tidy. Also... having a messy place is a sign of no ambition, not being a sociopath.. that's kind of a strange assumption to make. It makes him a slob, yeah. Call a spade a spade. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 7:18:44 AM | | Living in filth is a symptom of shizophrenia. Living in a sterile environment is a sign of complusive/obsessive disorder and germ phobia. I couldn't live with either, but whereas a schizophreniac may cut your head off while you sleep, an anal retentive neat freak would probably just spray you with Lysol. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 9:29:21 AM | ^^^lol, maybe they like being sprayed with lysol!

Sorry - there is no button to indicate sarcasm available on here - guess I thought it was implied..... :) | |
