Well geez, I can't imagine.
If it were so dirty that I had to offer to clean it,
I believe I would vacate the premises first.

Are they like, traveling with bleach or something?

Some women actually have a need to clean. It is their way of feeling needed. The maternal instinct embedded within some women is so strong that it will hurt them emotionally if they are not allowed to do so.
Playing Devils Advocate it also gives some a chance to check out how well you have cleaned before hand and if they are willing to spend the time needed to train you as they see fit.

For me personally, I was raised old fashioned. Women cooked and cleaned, and men took care of handy man type jobs.
I'm all grown up now, but that early training left its impression on me, and the way that I show that I love someone is that I 'nurture' them.
This can be anything from doing the dishes, to mending a pair of pants.
I am a career woman, and independent minded, but am happiest when cooking supper and knowing that my man is comfortable, watching his sports program.

Ok...going to go crawl back into a cave now...sorry I'm sooooo old fashioned. :angel:


GEE i LIKE her !

Don't be sorry. Nothing wrong with being old fashion Believe it or not,Their are a lot of men out there that would appreciate that in you. Most men now don't have that luxury.

Of course it has to do with how often I date someone and how developed the friendship is but generally speaking if I am hanging out at a guys house I am no longer a casual date, a pampered visitor, and just figure it is doing my share to pitch in and clean up at least after myself or sometimes both of us.

If I like this person it is generally and expression of affection or appreciation for their treating me well. I am the old school traditional type in that the man makes a date he pays and with the economics of dateing sometimes being a financial hardship I figure it is the least I can do to occassionally reciprocate. I actually ask people I like out and pay but the disparity of pay in what I do and what most of the men I date do is not a penny for penny deal. Most can afford maids or have things already done as they went along.

I do know some people try to use cleaning as marking territory, or createing an aura of obligation, or even snooping but if someone is making you uncomfortable intrudeing into your space then it is time to man up and communicate how you feel about it or take charge of the situation even if only to stop inviting her over.

I am particularly fond of gardening and entertaining and tend to gravitate to people who do so sometimes it is a I will help you with your project and vice versa. Or ok lets knock out the chores together and then kick back and have the saved time for other things. bigsmile

My house is just fine the way it is.

Please come in, pull up a pile of debris and make yourself comfortable. If you see a bug, kill it, it is not my pet. LOL!

Just kidding!laugh

If a woman comes over to your place and immediately starts cleaning,
it is "THAT DIRTY" to HER.

You need to seriously clean up your place or find a new woman.
