As my husband once said to a single friend: “If you want a woman to sleep with you, have a clean bedroom. If you want her to sleep with you again, have a clean bathroom.”

I’m an escort and these tips would also do great as a “how to prepare for a date.” Thank you!

Love the point about temperature. If my hands are going numb from cold, I’m not going to be inspired to take my shirt off. A coat or sweater interferes with cuddling too

The shirts for destruction is officially going in a drawer. The only thing I would add are some tips to not make your place smell like ‘Dude’

That's a great point! I wonder what is best for that...maybe cracking a window a few hours before the date, cleaning the room, and perhaps lighting a candle?

Well the best is a regular cleaning schedule. But 4 big things that can be done in a pinch: If vacuuming spread a light amount of baking soda on the carpets about 10 min before vacuuming, open doors and windows to try to air the place out, Reed diffusers in main rooms (Only in bedroom if away from acrobatic activities), and vinegar and a touch of baking soda down the drains in the bathroom to neutralize any odors from there.

For me (a married millennial guy), there are several sad things about this piece:

- The fact that it exists in the first place - I feel that anything before the Bonus points section should be obvious for any single man. All of this is stuff one should have learned from either of his parents.

- The fact that "you absolutely can get laid without doing any of the following if you are very attractive in other ways".

- The fact that many guys do or would easily do all of that, but they can't bring a girl to his room to get laid in the first place.

From the main article, at the bottom next to the like and reply buttons, you'll see a share button. You can use this to share the article link with your buddy.

Honestly having someone follow this guide would make it very obviously that he is repellent to women. I, whole groups of friends and probably millions of other men respected none of those rules other than the basic ones of be clean, have a clean bedroom. I had a literal mattress on the floor, a desk and not even a place where to store clothes yet they managed to not be repellent to women or men. Many did and still managed to be repellent.

This whole article reminds me of the Cargo Cult Melanesians, who saw that radars and airplanes were correlated so they build wooden radars to attract airplanes. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/1*wIQmvvnTrov-245LF1a1yg.jpeg

Instead of focusing on such inane stuff I would recommend guys to just be a good man (in the moral sense), increasing the surface of meeting both men and women, socialize and the good woman for you will not only not get the ick for seeing a mattress on the floor. But she will be happy to sleep in one because you are there.

Everything seems to follow smoothly from the basic fact, “I’m _already_ bringing something of economic value to the table”: <https://maggiemcneill.com/2015/03/12/who-pays/>.

This is hilarious, thank you! I would say 99% of the guys I dated between 20-30 had absolutely no awareness of any of these points. Also, would add that a true gent will always make a lady feel like it's a given that she's welcome to sleep over if she wants to, or at least offer to get her an Uber 😀
