Lighter side! Things in your apartment that send single girls running OUT the door!

  Being an Internet/Information junkie I love it when I stumble upon  a new site. Especially when it’s a relationship site.  Not only would I love  to write for one, but I find them to be great inspiration.  Kind of like Sex in the City in web page form.  I recently found  one such site http://www.howaboutwe.com . This may be my new guilty pleasure; especially when I come upon lists . You could call it “10 things about  cat burglars” ( found recently on www.mentalfloss.com )  I want to know those 10 things.  This particular list : “10 things that should never be in a  Ladies bedroom” along with  “10 things in  a dude’s room” http://www.howaboutwe.com/date-report/1119-10-things-ladies-shouldn-t-have-in-their-bedrooms   It  made me remember my  single days. These were on my list of “ewwwws”.


  • Old Big Gulp cups, Pt 1. I once dated a guy who would fill one up and drink it for 2 days. I still shudder .
  • Old Big Gulp cups, Pt 2. I hate it  if I ask for a drink of water and I am served in a take out /convenience store cup. Real grown ups have real glass ware.
  • The pile of laundry in the corner.  It’s the weekend. you were hoping to get lucky. Me too. That’s why I cleaned my place. You never know.
  • Empty alcohol bottles /Beer Pyramid on display.   I drink.  I have rarely turned down a party, even on a work night.  I don’t want to think this is all you do . Don’t make me judge you on your empty bottle of Everclear or Makers Mark
  • Condom wrappers. Please let me hold the belief  that I am special. I don’t want to wonder  how long that wrapper has been on your night stand.  All I ask for is an empty spot to  put my earrings!
  • Leopard Print Anything!  I once slept with a guy that had a leopard print comforter.  I teased him mercilessly.  To this day, anything  tacky and leopard print gets called by  his nickname. My husband  still gets a a sick  thrill out of this.
  • Dead Plants.  Nothing looks more pathetic.
  • Anything your  former  flames  have left behind.  Do I have to explain this one?
  • General Filth.  Don’t make  me run out the door before you have gotten me to the bedroom.



It’s the weekend.  Who knows what will happen.  But treat your place like you do yourself.  Clean, buff and polish.  I did.

  1. Filth...and the SMELL. If I went to a guy's place and it smelled, I lost all respect for him. I didn't expect a guy to be a clean freak, but I did expect him to not be living in complete filth! And, yeah, condom wrappers would have been an issue. If he had no more respect for me than to at least try to HIDE that, I wasn't interested.
