Judging A Man By His Bathroom

Last weekend, my friends and I were discussing the different things that we use to judge if a guy is a good guy or not. We listed general politeness such as "Please" and "Thank you" and opening car doors and being nice to old ladies - including their mothers. We also listed being driven, hardworking, and fun. One thing that I hadn't thought of before that was mentioned was "having a clean bathroom." My friend mentioned that if they ever got to that stage with a guy that they got to their apartment or home, they made an immediate be-line for the bathroom. When finally in the bathroom the inspection would occur. Is the sink clean, the toilet sparkling, and the mirrors shiny? If not, the guy would be written off as someone that wasn't suitable.

You might think at first that this judgement sounds harsh or irrational. However, when you really think about it, do you want to go any further with a guy that has a dirty toilet? I think not. Also, you already know that he hasn't learned how to clean up for himself so do you want to be the one to teach him? I think not. You might reconsider a little if he profusely apologizes for the lapse of cleaning of the bathroom or his apartment due to his roommate, his late hours at work, his trip to Mexico that he just got back from a day ago. However, if there are no apologies made you might as well consider him not worth your time. Don't deal with a guy that you will have to train to clean up after himself. You will have to train him to do other things along the way - scrubbing the tub isn't one of them!
