As for the cleanliness thing, it's really a spectrum based on my experience. If you are out there seeing enough homes of single men, you'll probably see that.
But also, if a person (man, woman, or otherwise) thinks there's a chance another person may come over who otherwise isn't a part of their day to day life, then there's a much higher than normal chance that they'll ensure their place is in better than average state. So, there's a lot of potential for bias in this particular metric.
As for male stereotypes that don't apply to me? I'm not really into boobs and they don't do much for me. Meh. I'm not into sports, don't watch them, don't read about them, don't care about them. Couldn't even tell you what's going on with them at this moment.
right? my place is not a sty, but i clean once a week usually and by day 6 it's dirty. i also leave random shit out everywhere. clutter does not bother me.
but of course i will clean extra if folks are coming over. and i de-clutter.
what i don't like is when folks have a house that is set like it's for a magazine shoot. that creeps me out... and many women I date... tha tis their 'standards' for a 'good home'... one that is beiged out and looks like it's staged for a real estate ad... it's gross.
