We appreciate that you brush your teeth. Quite sincerely, we really do! Proper oral hygiene is sexy as fuck, and no one wants to make out with someone who has stank-ass breath. But when you're done scrubbing those pearly whites, can we focus on cleaning something else–your bathroom mirror.
It's okay if there are a few toothpaste flecks on your mirror when we come over, but when you're doing the whole "posing in the mirror" thing for your Manhunt profile… those pictures shouldn't involve little white spots all over the glass. Some exceptions apply to that rule, as demonstrated by Contestant B in this round of iPhone Wars. But otherwise? Whip out that bottle of Windex and get to work!

To see some bad examples, follow the JUMP:
good point, but not only that, take a look at the surrounding area, if it looks like a bomb went off, with used towels and diryty underwear and your half used toilet paper roll is still on the counter because you never put in on the holder in the week since you sat it there…clean up the area, before you take the pic…makes you look like a slob, no matter how hot your body is…might scare some guys into not wanting to walk into your lair…
@GTM – excellent point. I’ve seen a lot of photos where the background mess stopped me from pursuing anything.
Although the worst example (proving that I’m a horrible snob) was a picture of a naked guy lying on his couch. He was nice-looking and had a good body, but the sofa was patterned in huge, darkly hued flowers. I couldn’t believe anyone had created the sofa and didn’t want to go near anyone that would actually buy such a thing. What can I say – I’m a judgmental prick.
geeze, talk about a slippery slope. if you need to wash a mirror for a guy, if he comes over your gonna have to clean your whole house D:
@atlas: Was that sarcasm?
Maybe it’s not as common among the young bachelors, but there are a lot of people who think you should keep your whole house relatively clean, especially if you have people over. I always try to tidy up if someone’s coming over, just to give the impression that I’m not a total lazy slob.
Personally, I don’t mind a little clutter or if your grout isn’t pearly white, but if a guy’s place is really dirty (especially if it smells), that can be a mood-killer really quick. It also makes you wonder what else he didn’t bother to wash.
This thread reminds me of a guy I met on Manhunt a year or so ago. He lived in a modern lakefront high rise here in Chicago. Should be a safe bet, right? Wrong!
I would have felt more comfortable having my Thanksgiving feast spread out on the bare floor in a men’s bathroom at a gas station then even standing to pee in his. The old adage of planting potatoes in his filth would be no exaggeration.
Thanks for reviving the memory! LOL

uhh, it was half sarcasm, half “i fucking hate cleaning”
