Here’s what they shared:
1.
“I had someone offer me their single, slightly damp towel as my post-shower option.
He had no other towels not a single one I asked.
I opted to go home for my shower and be a bit late to work.

“Hand soap in the bathroom.
I befriended a guy who did not have hand soap.
I bought some and left it there just a regular-sized bottle.
So yeah, hand soap.”
u/similarboobs
3.
“A plunger in the bathroom.
I dont care WHO you are; toilets get clogged.
Nothing is more horrifying than when it happens at another person’s house with no plunger in sight.
Ask me how I know.”
u/RavishingRedRN
4.“Plants.
They are the next best thing to having a pet.
u/4th_chakra
5.
“I will add this small yet important thing guys tend to miss: a clean dish rack.

6.
“The kitchen is reasonably stocked with equipment.
I understand being low on food I am often scant in that department.
It makes coming over for cooking dates much easier.
you’re able to find all this stuff at Goodwill, so there’s no excuse.”

“A waste basket in the washroom within arm’s reach of the toilet.
Especially if there is a plastic bag lining it.”

8.“Spices.
It was an equitable split.

“The bar is so low.
There were so many other red flags.”
Maybe a throw blanket on the sofa.
I always want a blanket; it just adds to the coziness.”

“Books or intellectual pursuits.
Seeing a collection of books or evidence of intellectual interests can be attractive and suggest depth and curiosity.”

“Stuff on the walls.
I check out r/MaleLivingSpace sometimes, and so many of the most upvoted posts look like Airbnbs.
So much effort has gone in, but they don’t actually feel like someone lives there.”
“Have something sentimental.
It doesn’t matter what it is, but something that has personal value is always a good sign.
It shows you’re a real person with a real lived-in space.”

“A comforter set and at least the mattress off the floor.
If your mattress is on the floor with a lone blanket and pillow, no.
I’d walk out.
I can do without a headboard, but you need a bed frame and a comforter set.”
u/Neat-Stand-5316
20.“FLOSS!”
u/Chemicalhaze
21.“Skincare.
“A basket for dirty laundry and not just random stinking piles of clothes everywhere.”
It’s nice to see that thought went into his purchases.”
