    “Bad” Trait #5: His place is a mess
    Dishes stacked high in the sink, clothes strewn all over the floor and last week’s pizza box flung in the corner can seem gross, hygiene-wise, but it’s also a sign your guy is creative and relaxed, says David H. Freedman, coauthor of A Perfect Mess. “We have a tendency to think of messiness as a character flaw, but these people are generally more productive than neat people since they spend more time getting things done than they do straightening up,” Freedman explains. “Plus, they’re often more imaginative than neater folks, since creative people usually find a bit of clutter to be stimulating and expressive.”

    I call bullshit. Messiness is not an expression of productivity and imagination, it's pure unadulterated laziness. If I start dating a guy and his place is a wreck, it's pretty much over because if we get more serious and move in together, all I can see is how much I'd have to clean up after him and I am no one's mother so it's not happening.

    I was like... "Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup... hell no" :p

    ...last week's pizza box, ew.
    A disorganized mess is fine, like things scattered everywhere.... But a dirty mess involving food left out and whatnot, no thanks. :)
