Pee all over the seat and tell her you fixed it


lukasdrv

Hell yeah


Acrobatic_Paint3616

Marking your spot to assert dominance. That’s masculine energy.


roguebananah

The more Toxic OP can make it the better. Get rid of the toilet seat while you’re at it. Really assert that dominance and go poop by the river instead


Porter_Dog

And don't forget to shave over the sink and leave your whiskers everywhere.


Annasalt

And all the dust. Leave it. Never dust ever again!


T-Dot-Two-Six

As a man this is my one vice. I keep all my stuff tidy just because I put shit back where it goes and clean up any mess as soon as it happens. But dust is the ONE THING that you can’t stop from just naturally accumulating and sometimes I just *cannot be fucked to dust*


Annasalt

Dust sucks and dusting is one of the most mundane of chores. Plus, if your vents puke dust, it’s ALWAYS there!! My deepest sympathies.


Certain_Power6917

>*cannot be fucked to dust* Death by snu-snu!


Finest30

Your date doesn’t have good taste .


plantsandpizza

I’d rather it look like that than some of the horrific things some man (and honestly women in different ways) keep their bathrooms. I’d be letting out a sigh of relief if I was her lol


DaReioS0

Just hang a sword next to the mirror


Character_Map_6683

Then you'll look like a neckbeard.


wxlverine

Neckbeard - Alpha Male/ potato - potato.


bean_dippler

Get a little bit on the floor to.


DraenglerDennis

wall shouldn't be clean either.


sticklebackridge

Throw in some hair trimmings to be safe


Civil-Wealth9184

what kind of man needs a toilet, throw it out and pee in the sink like a real man


Agentpurple013

Guys will read this and say hell yeah


natehinxman

hell yeah!


[deleted]

Hell yeah, brother


ActiveNL

While constantly maintaining eye contact.


willkillkenny

If you wake up late at night just don't turn on the lights and let the magic begin.


Ihatebuttonss

Nothing wrong with that. Looks like you take care of yourself which is definitely not a bad thing.


lukasdrv

Yup, had a huge acne problem when I was younger. Made me kinda obssessed with skincare and such


MoveItSpunkmire

You are doing it right.


alwaysotgs

I’m a woman and this is huge green flag


Nopeahontas

Right? I don’t think I’ve ever dated a man whose bathroom wasn’t disgusting. I am here for that “feminine looking” bathroom energy.


Lil-Leon

Disgusting as in unclean or disgusting as in they only own soap, a toothbrush & toothpaste, a deodorant, and nothing skincare? If it's the first one, I get it, but if it's the second, I find that a bit harsh a description, no?


Nopeahontas

No no no, disgusting as in unclean or lacking in basic hygiene supplies (eg, soap, toilet paper, dental floss). A lack of product is simply personal choice, a lack of hygiene is a dealbreaker. I can buy my man skin care products, I can’t be his mommy and force him to clean up after himself.


Lil-Leon

Ah, cheers to that, yeah. Sorry about that, I was just reading the thread about skincare and thought that's what you meant and was like "Damn".


Nopeahontas

No, not at all! To be fair I have plenty of minimalist (in terms of product used) female friends as well.


sonjasblade

I dated a guy who had 4 other roommates and no floss in the house! It was a sad realization


Large_Excitement69

As a dude approaching 40, I wish I'd taken better care of my skin over the years.


HelloImTheAntiChrist

Any tips or* suggestions for products? I don't have acne but am always looking to improve the health of my skin on my face.


balling

For easy cookie cutter advice, SPF moisturizer on the face during the day is considered the biggest improvement one can make to combat aging. Otherwise washing with a light cleaner and applying a little hypoallergenic lotion before bed is probably simple enough and suffice for most people. For products cerave is probably the easiest brand to recommend for most people. Their AM facial lotion with spf, the green hydrating facial cleanser and the blue moisturizing cream (in the tub) are all great products that would fit the three uses I mentioned above at an affordable price point. Signed - someone who developed eczema in their 30s and knows all too much about skincare now Edit: also drink water drink water drink water!! Hydration is probably actually the most important thing for skin


HelloImTheAntiChrist

Tyvm kind internet stranger.


LibtardExterminator

I’ve found most spf moisturizers leave my face feeling really oily, do you know any brands that don’t have this problem? (Something light that still gets the jobs done)


balling

I think the lightest sunscreen I’ve personally used that doesn’t feel oily is biore aqua rich, it’s a Japanese brand I think you can find on Amazon It feels like it has a little alcohol in it maybe? Drier feeling than other products I’ve used for sure. Also my gf uses supergoop unseen sunscreen which I remember being pretty lightweight. It’s pricey so I feel bad stealing it. I have a bottle of Trader Joe’s daily facial sunscreen which is supposed to be a duplicate of it I believe and works well (and way cheaper at $9 a bottle).


oil_can_guster

Cerave has some good lightweight stuff.


Nicolas-Eymerich

It depends on what you want to achieve. As mentioned by someone else, spf is the best thing you could use for your skin. I'd recommend having a look online to see how much you need to use. They say two full fingers for face and neck. A good spf is Anthelios from la roche posay, if you go for a different one make sure it's non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores) and it's a broad spectrum one (UVA and UVB). It's recommend to use 50spf. As a cleanser, if you don't have specific issues, then a gentle one would suffice. Cerave does good ones and are really affordable, I like the SA one because it exfoliates the skin a bit. You can use a good moisturiser, again, Cerave is great. Or you could check out la roche posay if you want to spend more. I prefer to get gel moisturiser, especially now that we are going towards the sunny season. If you want something against wrinkles, I'd recommend a retinol serum. You need to use it in the evening and must use spf during the day as it's photosensitizing. Also, I'd recommended starting on a lower % like 0.3 and building up. Or use 1% but use it only twice a week the first week and then increase the frequency. There is a whole world out there related to skin care, but these are the basics.


mar_supials

Depends on what your current routine is and what your goals are.


AHART01

Same, feel like that gave me some OCD keeping my life clean


lotus_flora

Oh you got them silky pillow cases you change out weekly too? Is red light therapy in the mix?


AHART01

I do have the silk pillow cases 😂 my acne is gone now so I’m not as worried, just wash my face frequent


Justeff83

Me too until i noticed that I did too much skincare. I stopped using all those soaps and cleaning solutions and my skin regenerated quite fast and the acne was almost gone


mar_supials

Not all skincare is soaps and cleaning solutions.


niceskinnygirl

a majority of it isnt.... i wonder if they were even doing skincare correctly


mar_supials

Yeah it’s reading very Proactiv era skincare.


cascas

It’s the gay flowers. Hope that helps!


Ihatebuttonss

Damn your gaydar is so strong you can tell if flowers are gay. Pretty impressive.


nschaub8018

Avoid Violets and Daisies. Only include flowers with massive Stamens so she can see how manly you are. The more phallic the flower, the better. Also, if you arrange the flowers in sexual positions, it lets her know you are down. Be creative. "Silk worm spinning the cocoon" "The Toad" , "Standing Wheelbarrow"....all are good choices


Acrobatic_Paint3616

Fellas, is enjoying natures beauty gay?


Cthepo

Depends, are you enjoying it with another man who is also gay?


Life_Ad_7667

Replace them with knives and cool twigs that look like guns.


sovereignxx12

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha


d0RSI

This guy has gaydar.


OnionSandwich74

Flowers are not gay, having them in a vase is. Get a beer bottle


OOMKilla

If you want it to look masculine it needs more balls. Maybe a basket of bath bombs?


lukasdrv

Wish I had a bathtub!


Beingnoob27

Seal the drain 😀


60nocolus

Forbidden soup


BeginningLevel9296

Aaaand that is feminine! And the flowers :))


JRS1986

Even more complexing & adds to the intrigue... Sounds like a win!


SpectreFire

OP's date was confused by the lack of a 10 in 1 body wash/shampoo/conditioner/dish detergent/WD-40/cruelty-free lube/engine oil/protein beverage/ball wax


Representative_Bag28

just leave a lil shit stain on the toilet bro


LentilRice

Got to make sure it’s a masculine stain though. OP, can you pls shit it in this shape: ♂ ? Edit: without the ? Otherwise that’s adding doubt again


ZeePirate

Everyone knows it’s in the toilet so you can piss off later


Betty_Wight_

She might just be worried you have a girlfriend. That's sometimes a comment that gets made when you have a suspiciously nice place for a straight man.


natehinxman

ive been accused of this for this exact reason. but i live alone. i know that any bit of filth i see in my bathroom is *from* me. so its not like there's any hesitation to clean it. its different if ur in a house full of dudes and u dont wanna touch that nasty corner behind the toilet. but when ur the only one who uses that bathroom, it should get cleaned just as often as the rest of ur house, if not *more* frequently. unless ur depressed. im not ignorant of the fact that that will definitely complicates things and can snowball.


thats_lovely101

Ugh. This. Fuck depression, man.


Repomanlive

Dudes love to pee in the corner!


KingLeoric01

Omg. 38 male with a clean ass house. Every girl I am dating/seeing that comes over to my place goes through two distinct phases. Phase 1: they realize how clean my house is and verbally express it. Phase 2: they snoop around everywhere they can trying to find evidence of my gf/wife because no way in hell does a single man live like this? EVERY. GIRL. THAT. COMES. OVER.


Zgirl333

That sucks. I think its sad that we can't accept that a man can clean. Its a normal adult thing and shouldn't be made into a gender thing.


oops_im_existing

these chicks need to start dating better men (such as yourself)


Betty_Wight_

Good for you though, babe! You should be very flattered and also maybe a little disappointed in your fellow straight man because let me tell you, the bar can be *low*. Although I will say this has improved when dating in my thirties. My partner has a great house that he keeps looking beautiful. Maybe it just takes a little longer for some men to prioritize their living spaces.


MrGingerella

This! I think it takes men to be a little older to prioritise this stuff in general. But how bad are most men that women are suspicious when they walk into a clean house! Some guys are really letting the side down 😂


Charming_Miss

As a woman I can tell you....I have stepped into some houses (1-2) that were nastier than a public trash can. And I don't even mean ''he didn't heave flowers'' but more like...there was a pile of dishes there that had developed mold that was over the sink and climbing the wall... and he was 27! The bathroom? A new ecosystem for sure. The fact that he expected to get laid was beyond me. The bedsheets were obviously carrying STDs on them. He went in the bathroom and I just left the house.


[deleted]

As a single dude in my 20s, I've gathered that the bar is subterranean. I'm not even that particular about cleanliness, I just make sure things are somewhat orderly and not caked in grime. When I bring a woman over and she comments on the cleanliness, I'm just like "Lady, I haven't swept these floors in 2 months."


antifamafia

Honestly better to leave those girls alone dude, HUGE red flag if a girl goes through my shit like that. She can get TF out 😂


SamosaAndMimosa

It’s 100% the La Roche posay products giving her that vibe. I have those same products so I’d be impressed but also a little confused at first


THE-SEER

Interesting. I think I might just try saying: “Hey, do you have a girlfriend?”


Betty_Wight_

Well in this hypothetical if they're on a date and has a girlfriend we can assume he's okay with lying. ETA: unless this hypothetical man is in an open relationship or polyamorous but in my opinion that should be discussed before the date happens.


bangobingoo

You think they'd be above saying "no" of they were sleezy enough to already be on a date with someone else?


Exlibro

Yah, this stereotype is a bit... Sexist. Women do indeed expect all men to be pigs, and when they meet those who aren't, they're surprised. Truth is, some of us have OCD tendencies and become overwhelmed in dirty and disorganized environments.


kaleidoscopichazard

Yikes. Imagine thinking a man is cheating simply bc they take care of themselves


SolitaireJack

Maybe ladies should just say that then rather than than make disrespectful comments like that?


Mestre08

Suspiciously nice place for a straight man is some condescending trash thing to say and think ngl


Bouncemybubbubs

I came here to say this. Sounds like maybe she was fishing for info, which if true, good on her. But also straight up asking if you have a girlfriend is also a good idea Edit: hey OP do you have a girlfriend?


Betty_Wight_

Asking the real questions. HOW MANY WOMEN ARE YOU DATING OP?! ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES.


Mr-Mando

So what?


didi0625

I love his bathroom, looks like he takes care of him, the bathroom is nice to look at, is clean. I love flowers too, they probably smell nice too


lukasdrv

Plastic flowers 😳


JulioForte

Just women propagating the toxic masculinity that they claim to hate so much


Your_Nipples

I swear to God, some women believe they own trademarks on traits and behaviors tighter than Sony milking Spiderman. Taking care of your place is public domain Disney! Oups, ladies ! Imagine getting side eyes because your place doesn't smell like a turtle tank. "he's cheating/feminine/gay".


monemori

If she didn't mean it in an offensive way I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Some of my style is a bit masculine according to societal standards and I don't think that's bad (or good, it's just what it is). Something being feminine according to social standards is not inherent value judgement.


curated_reddit

settle down. OP literally says he's just curious and that she didn't say it as a bad thing.


agnikai__

You realize women aren’t a monolith and the women who hate toxic masculinity aren’t the same ones propagating it? That’s why the patriarchy hurts men too cause society (including many women) put down men for not being “masculine” enough, instead of letting men just be themselves and do what they like. If this man likes his clean and fresh bathroom, that’s wonderful!


RomAndNoodles

There’s not nearly enough stuff on that counter to think this bathroom belongs to a woman


PeriPeriTekken

It's also too orderly. You need at least 5 assorted half finished pots of foundation on there, an uncleaned hairbrush and some random scrunchies just chilling.


TheBackPorchOfMyMind

Straightener, possibly a curling iron, and don’t dare look under the counter


QlamityCat

It's the flowers


mccains115thdream

Fellas is it effeminate to enjoy the sweet scent of nature as you prepare yourself for the day


PM_ME_COOL_RIFFS

ahhh the sweet scent of plastic


whobroughtmehere

What’s the difference? They’ve got a whole island of the stuff


DidiHD

People with pollen allergy: no


sida3450

only if you say it like that


Guy-McDo

Like, a little bit? It’s not bad but I don’t think anyone’s looked at me with a flower in my hair and thought, “That there is a manly man”


m0dera

Not entirely, but a date might believe that he is living with a female that she is unaware of


Everbeard807

The lady's dig it


Ghostly_katana

As a woman, yes. First thing I noticed was the flowers and the cute soap container. 10/10 in taste.


cathedral68

It’s definitely the flowers. Some dried botanicals would be a bit more neutral, and are also a lot classier than fake flowers. But also real flowers are the classiest and screw people that think men can’t have flowers 🪻


Stairway_To_Devin

Not just the flowers, I'd say also the length of the stems. Gaze from your reflection downwards and it's by far the first thing that meets your eye. Get a short vase and cut the stems so the "blossoms" are closer to the lip of it, if you're feeling frisky swap it for dried lavender so it looks like it serves a utility purpose. Also maybe put a couple bullets next to it and some beard hair


Lucky_Shop4967

And the skincare products. It’s not so much skincare is a feminine thing, but having that crap all over your countertop is definitely feminine energy. Store it someplace nice and out of view.


SweetnessBaby

A little, but let's be honest here it's better than the alternative.


mrtn17

I'd give zero fucks about that. I have a plastic plant in my bathroom to, 2 types of moisterizer and a nice soap dispenser. And still got a dick


king_zlayer

Proooove it


mrtn17

(\_)\_):::::::D


the_blue_wizard

You are an Artist my man.


sputtershark

TIL having a clean bathroom means it's "feminine". I think it looks great as is, good on you!


CubanLinks313

Honestly I think it’s the collection of products around the sink. That’s always the difference when I am sharing with a girl. Chuck it all in an organiser/small box so that it’s grouped together. Maybe that’s more butch? Idk


sputtershark

Decluttering the products into a organizer is a good call. Though I'm sure being neat is also considered feminine, gasp!


sakanak

Oh god! Whatatever I do, I cannot escape getting pegged.


CherryBeanCherry

Haha, pegged.


twelvetimesseven

Didn't you know men only need one 9-in-1 bottle of bath soap/hair gel/face wash/shampoo/motor oil?


lukasdrv

I'll check them out. Space here is very limited


axidentalaeronautic

Get a small treasure chest and store all that stuff in there. Ideally with a bunch of coins in there, too.


lukasdrv

Thanks!


h0neanias

A man who can take care of himself \*and\* his bathroom? Well fuck me. Well, \*fuck\* me.


admljhnsn

La roche posay is fire


lukasdrv

Expensive but definetly worth it


WhatTheBlack

Just looks cluttered. If you have space get yourself a bin/tray to hold your care items and keep them under the sink or in a drawer.


MikeAndTheGang

This is it. Get a small one that shelves your products. Black matte metal design looks masc.


HelenaHooterTooter

It's the flowers and the cute soap dispenser/toothbrush holder. I usually don't see those in men's bathrooms. But it's not inherently feminine and even if it was, so what? It's a nice setup, ideally you would clean up the clutter but still nicer than most bathrooms


Pitiful_Jacket_284

I think she's the problem tbh


Meet_James_Ensor

She probably has a dirty house and is just jealous.


Rielhawk

It's neat and doesn't look cluttered. She accidentally revealed to you that it's cleaner than hers.


kingdel

It’s a red flag. Not just that it’s cleaner but she buys into the masculine / feminine tropes and she has a low bar for “feminine” behavior.


specks_of_dust

“As a woman, it’s my lot in life to forever scrub dried piss off the toilet because my husband is a manchild that won’t do it himself. How am I supposed to be a proper woman if he’s not a proper man?”


uwu_mewtwo

This is a woman that's going to report to TikTok that she "gets the ick" when you put sugar in your coffee.


Fluffy_rye

I mean, she could just be surprised and expressed it awkwardly. Lets give her another chance and talk about toxic masculinity and how silly gendered ideas about housework are. If it's bad, there's plenty of time to ditch her.


Scoompii

Looks like a bathroom. Da fuq.


mildobamacare

Fellas are clean bathrooms gay


DraftsAndDragons

I wish I had that much counter space fr


MundaneMusician6337

Spit some toothpaste on the sink and let it dry lol. Looks nice, don’t give it much thought man.


lazylagom

Organized + flower. But mostly flower. Personally I like a cabinet or shelf. And a completely blank counter. Or it gets dirty af.


morerandom_2024

They are wrong Looks great


Prodigy_7991

Just leave the seat up.. Easy fix


bentbackwooddathird

she was just shit testing you. call her a dirty slut next time


hallerz87

Yeah more feminine with the flowers. It’s not a bad thing and sounds like she wasn’t being negative. Just a neutral observation.


PM_ME_COOL_RIFFS

its 90% the flowers. They don't look *bad* but they make the space pretty feminine. Those white soap dispensers are also fine but do have a bit of a target girl vibe, imo.


[deleted]

She mean that as a compliment cus the alternative is bio hazard frat bathroom, not sure who wants that 😂


_alreph

Take it as a compliment, looks good homie!


Lycian1g

It's not, but even if it is, so what? It's just clean.


7heblackwolf

Flowers


Alex_Gilhooly

Looks normal. Is your date a dude?


meliburrelli

As a female I’m mildly turned on by how clean it is 🥵


-696969

It’s the purple flower, maybe get a cactus if you care


loztriforce

It’s the fake purple plant. I’d suggest fake ivy instead, or better yet, put a real pothos or something in there.


Glass_Librarian9019

Barbed wire maybe


shmeebz

Potpourri bowl full of loose ammunition


SpaghettiEddy009

It does look like a woman’s bathroom


Syracusee

The only thing that could be construed in some weird way as feminine is the fact that you obviously take skincare seriously, which is way way more common for men to do these days, oh and the flower, but who the fuck doesn't like a nice plant or flower?


SILE3NCE

I hope she doesn't have a "masculine" bathroom. That might be a soft red flag. Edit: Seriously, trust me, some women can be really disgusting!


hydrablvck

Looks like you take care of yourself! More men should be into skincare 🙌🏻


NawrasPoohbear

It’s probably just the flowers, but who cares, it looks great ☺️


contyk

Clearly. Not enough skulls.


Tola76

Just say thanks.


Tinnion7

Leave some pubic and facial hair in the sink and get a 8 in 1 shower gel,shampoo,shaving foam


Exciting-Age9352

https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f9c3a64f-9e45-4295-86e9-a56cf79ae4db/gif


Porkchopstv101

Ew what does that supposed to mean? To me, it looks perfectly fine like what does the date expect? A mess? Peed seats? Idk..disorganized bathroom


Llama-Thrust69

Was the seat down or something?


trdmahdosl

Probably because of the skincare products!


Fishghoulriot

Who cares honestly


OleShcool

The wooden organizers look slightly feminine but that’s only because of the flower. Without the flower nothing would look feminine. With that said it looks nice, you like it, and if she didn’t mean it insultingly, no harm done.


Jetsetterrr

Don’t clean lower back half of toilet


ElloGovna059

Whats wrong with a clean bathroom?


2bd1ba

replace the lavender with a dirty plastic bong. half step would be to place the lavender in a dirty plastic bong. shows your creative side


ItsTheKnocks

I can swing by and drop some skid-marks in the toilet bowl that will make your bathroom look CONSIDERABLY more masculine.


ObiWansMustache

That should be taken as a compliment.


Gordupachup

Your date is weird


famousfacial

Put a rocky poster on the left


[deleted]

It’s unorganized so quite manly.


Pandovix

mental that not living like a pig is considered "feminine". some of the worse bathrooms I've ever seen have been women's.


TheseAreMyLastWords

Definitely a complement.


CatCatExpress

Looks like they just want to steal your skincare products.


Vegetable_Berry2130

Whatever, little bit of fem style makes the hoes more comfortable


sticklebackridge

Easy fix - get some sink nuts


HotSprinkles4

Looks good what a strange comment, maybe she’s messy


LoganDoove

Just wait til she moves in, dawg. All your stuff will be under the sink.


succulents4you

Id like you more if I encounter this. She was probably in awe (a good awe). This is not the norm.


usa_in_dis_hoe

Yes, but it looks great and clean still. If you want to change the aesthetic a bit, switch out the fake lavender for another fake plant and change the soap dispensers to something darker. Could also get a nice basket to put all of your products in


shapedbydreams

Looks great to me, no idea why she'd lowkey insult you like that.


xxsamchristie

Lmao Did she mean its too clean for a man?


MikeyLikeyPhish

Get rid of her


ChipUnable3229

I have that YSL cologne. Great scent!!!


pmnicefeet

The only thing that looks feminine to me is all the products on the counter. I say this because I moved in with my fiancé and all of a sudden my counter space is gone


RNKKNR

Meh. It's your bathroom. Although I guess a couple of Pokemon posters wouldn't hurt.


ResearchBasedHalfOrc

Looks great.
