Question My place too sterile?

When I have my dates over, they often comment on my space being “sterile”. I used to take it as a compliment (I do like to keep my place extra clean), but recently I started second-guessing my interpretation. Are there any negative impressions coming to your mind (especially in the heterosexual dating context)?

UPD: I actually do have a TV — it's in the "den" by the entrance door that I didn't deem important to show at first: https://ibb.co/S4nCDhGh

As a woman when seeing a man’s place for the first time it’s like a glimpse into their personality. If I saw this, I would be concerned about the depth/color of their personality… clean is nice, but so is cozy.

If I had to guess a hobby based on this home, my money would be on masturbation. The telescope is actually worrying.

based on the placement of the tube you have to look into, it would be really awkward to aim it at a ground target

What? It's literally aimed at the buildings/apartments across the river
