So, went into the bathroom, found mildew. Instantly de-bonered. It got me thinking on how cleanliness and attraction are related.


How does cleanliness affect how attracted you are to a person?

I know for me, it's actually a fairly big deal. Even if your super-awesome, but if look grimy, and your floor looks like it's going to eat me. . .I probably am going to stick away from you. Now, I'm not talking "oh, I haven't folded my laundry or done my dishes today" dirty, I'm talking "I've never vacuumed, nor cleaned the bathroom. And what is this thing called "shampoo?" Ah Shampoo. You can probably get away with not using soap or deoderant for a couple days, but shampoo is a necessity. If your hair looks super-greasy, you look smelly and gross.


Of course, it can go the other way too. Ever entered a room and not seen a single thing out of place? It almost feels like you're not in an actual house, but a model. It makes everything feel unnatural, and you're constantly wondering if the person is an OCD axe-murderer or something.

*shrugs* just thought I'd pique the mind of the internet, see what level of cleanliness they like.
