People Open Up About Their Biggest Turn-Offs When Visiting A Date’s Home
Everyone has heard the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” But, what happens once you get to see inside their home?
Let’s face it. If you go home with a date, you are definitely curious about their living habits. After all, the point of dating someone is to work toward a possible future together. Whether you scope out their kitchen for crumbs or check for a clean bathroom, most people have their own personal “red flags” in a living space.
That’s why one user named SchlickPow asked the Reddit community to share theirs. Specifically, the user wanted to know what “odd” home details made Redditers think less of their date.
Remnants Of Past Relationships
“When an ex’s belongings are everywhere.”
“Once, a guy said that his ex needed to pick up her belongings from his place. I did not realize just how much was hers until I went over afterward. The walls were completely bare.”
“I assumed he had it packed up and ready for her in the garage and was holding onto it to be nice. It turned out that she had moved out months prior and, out of pettiness and laziness, the guy could not be bothered to remove her artwork from the walls.”
“He was waiting for her to come and pack it all herself! Plus, he even had her cats still living there! It had been so long that she had already moved into her own place with someone else.”

General Dirtiness
“Dirty anything. It does not have to be immaculate, but it does represent who the person is on a deeper level.”
“I especially hate dirty sinks and toilets. I one-hundred-percent judge people based on dirty bathrooms. And clothes on the floor.”
“Funny enough, my husband was guilty of both. He saved our relationship by suddenly starting to clean his place carefully before I came over. I never even said anything. I just showed up in his bathroom one day with a bottle of Windex, and he picked up what I was putting down.”
Questionable Wall Art
“I had a date with this one guy during the pandemic, and he had a ton of…art in his home. I noticed one piece first and thought to myself, ‘Hm, interesting. Maybe it has some significant underlying meaning.'”
“Then, I got to look around. I realized it was the only art he had. There were naked women’s bodies all over the walls and ceiling.”
“I immediately maintained my distance and left as soon as I could. When he asked me to hang out again, I said absolutely not.”
Alcohol As Knick Knacks
“When men use empty liquor bottles as ‘decor.’ Also, when they have a collection of wine corks or bottle caps prominently displayed. Congratulations on your probably drinking problem.”
“Or when men tape up the boxes from their fifteen pack of beer on the wall. Keystone Light is not a decoration, and alcohol is not a personality.”
Missing–In–Action Household Essentials
“Lack of toilet paper because he, ‘s**** at work.'”
“No hand soap in the bathroom.”
“No trash can in the bathroom.”
“Or, what about a trash can with no bag?”
“Nothing to dry your hands with in the bathroom.”
Lack Of Personality
“Any place that is TOO clean and meticulously organized with a lack of personalization. It gives me the creeps.”
“Bare walls and not even the vaguest attempt to decorate or color coordinate. People who do not care what their surroundings look like weird me out.”
