Is Your Home Woman-Friendly
You’ve gotten your first date – congratulations! Now things have progressed to the point that she’s willing to see where you live.
But is she going to be drawn to your surroundings or repelled by them? Here is a list of things that women love to see in a guy’s home, starting with number 10.
10. Something you made with your own two hands. It could be a piece of furniture, or a lamp made out of an odd item, or artwork, or sponge-painted walls. Even if your work sucks, you tried, and you can make a joke about it. Chicks like to see that creative part of you expressed in your living space.
9. No dust on every horizontal surface. That tells her that you are a clean human being even when not trying to impress others.
8. At least one cool appliance. That usually indicates that you know how to cook other than Ramen noodles and microwave popcorn. A pasta maker, a bread machine, an espresso machine, etc., all send a message that you’re somewhat comfortable in a kitchen.
7. Pillows and a throw comforter. Have a little style, and get some color-coordinated pillows and a couch blanket or two. It’s kind of an unspoken invitation to cuddle up… especially if you’re watching old movies and such.
6. Interesting coffee table books are good conversation starters. They show what you like. I don’t recommend leaving a photo album of you and your old flame on the table, though. Keep that somewhere else.
5. Wine rack and wine. You can get good wines for less than $10 a bottle. Get a cheap wine rack and place a few bottles in it. Women like being offered wine more than a can of beer. Also, spend some time getting to know a little bit about wines. It makes YOU more interesting.
4. A collage of photos. You can get photo collage frames at any department store. Put in photos of family, friends, special events, trips, etc. Photos of you as a kid are always a winner with women. You might even include photos of you and an old girlfriend. That way, she’ll know that at least one other woman can stand the sight of you.
3. A pet. Perhaps your lifestyle doesn’t allow for a dog or cat. But anybody can have a fish tank. Taking care of a pet of any kind is a strong message to a woman, since she’s looking for a provider.
2. A musical instrument you can play. Everyone should be able to play some sort of musical instrument…even if it’s only a set of bongos. But keep your instrument out where she can see it, and you can play it. And then play it, even if you’re horrible.
1. A clean bathroom. No woman wants to sit herself down on a nasty toilet. Before you have your lady come for a visit, make sure that your bathroom is spotless. Add some fragrant soaps or some other kinds of decoration, too. But if you can’t get next to that foo-foo-idea, remember that the smell of Pine-Sol means “clean” to a woman. Matching towels would be nice, too.
If you can have a good amount of the things on this list in your apartment, then you’ll be in good shape to impress any lady and have her coming back to visit again!
