[quote=Anonymous][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]

Actually, I do find OPs point on “freshly ironed shirt” to be important.  It is a good indication of several things.  A man who irons his shirt for a date, has likely made his bed too, and is showing he takes pride in his appearanc and his belongings and puts in the extra effort to present himself well.  To me it also shows some level of discipline too, how much is hard to gauge, but for a first date, it would be a good sign for me.  [/quote]
Some who iron shirt give off a control-freak vibe. Time to assess  characteristics  matters. [/quote]
