[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are more than just “one thing” - that said, I agree all but the “freshly ironed shirt” thing are reasonable. Who cares about an ironed shirt...

FWIW I know very few (or perhaps none)- men who are like you describe. How bizarre!!

I could see a man lacking in one of these areas? My BIL, for example, is a gainfully employees engineer, pays his own bills, extremely nice and responsible guy. But he is a slob- his apartment- ugh. He dresses neatly and has good hygiene but is a casual guy..so the freshly ironed shirt I don’t know! Decent looking too.

I’m not sure if I’d be able to get past the gross apartment, myself, but based on this board (and from what I hear IRL) many men are this way. Maybe it is better if they are honest from day 1 vs pulling the bait and switch? [/quote]

I agree.

OP this is a reasonable list (even if your "one thing" encompasses "multiple things").

The only thing I would watch out for is your tone. Now, I'll give the benefit of the doubt since what you say on an anonymous message board is probably not what you'd say in person on a date, but do you come across as purposefully evaluating men on these standards? Do you come off like you are going to ask for proof of employment and inspection of a clean room? Or do you go out on dates and have fun and let yourself click with a guy and judge his habits later. A man wants a date and a girlfriend, not a landlord. [/quote]
