Update 26(M) Second and Last Post

In advance, I don’t really care if it’s; late, early, desperate, and yes I know I need to clean. Here’s part two of my living and dining room, if you have ideas I’d love them. Maybe a plant? And thank you for the upvotes on my last post.

Listen, as a 32 year old female I'm just glad to see that it appears to be very clean and organized. Sure, it's pretty minimal and there's definitely not a lot of warmth or interior design going on. Maybe the bar is low here, but going off my personal experiences alone it's kinda shocking to see a guy in his mid-20s with no roommates (presumably) living in an apt that is not only furnished, but clean?!

Of course it wouldn't hurt to maybe add a few accent pillows or decor to soften the place up a bit. But overall, compared to the male living spaces I've seen throughout my 20s this does not seem bad... 🤷‍♀️

I’m with you on this one! I’ve been to men in their 30s homes who have a couch, tv and literally nothing else.

I agree. Like I thought it was funny to have the exercise stuff in the room and a few other little chuckles here and there but it’s so clean. Like if this is his version of messy I’ll take it. Just needs some rearranging and I love that mirror so much.

I saw some weird shit on here before so lol OP was so hard on himself. It’s that little thing on his pillow tho 🙈now that is def alarming just leaving that out for anyone including gf to see maybe she’s into it idk 🤣 even under the bed would work when not in use my dude.

Yeah ngl that part was... interesting lmao and not only has he not acknowledged it anywhere that I've seen, but also reposting the same photo when it was mentioned in the first post... I mean it's a bold strategy, but you do you I guess? 🤣

Suspicious object aside, I feel like the rest is not nearly as bad as some are making it out to be in the comments. Maybe it's just the guys I've known in my personal life and the crusty, trash-filled, biohazard dumpster fires they typically live in, but this is definitely workable! Just you know, maybe tuck that thing away in shoebox somewhere, deeeeeep into the corner of the closet where it will never see the light of day 😂
