If a girlfriend asked this guy to take her to his place and she checked out his bedroom and saw this design of bedding, how will she react? If you were the gal visiting him and saw this, what would you say / do? Oh, and the guy who this bedroom belongs to was diagnosed with Asperger's as a preteen.

If an Aspie guy brought a girlfriend to his apartment and she saw his bedroom decorated like this, what would her reaction be?

Should the owner, a grown guy, let her see this bedding design or should he hide it from her?

Ironic, every girl I've ever known doesn't have a floor, just a place to leave clothes and crap

[–]lewabwee 3 points  

Yeah I gotta agree. The assumption is always that women are super tidy and they generally never are.

[–]Floranagirl 4 points  

Girls aren't always neat (I'm a messy girl myself), but I think there is an expectation when starting a relationship that the woman will do more of the housework. If I went to a boys house and saw a messy room, my first thought would be that if we stay together, I'm going to have to become a 'mom' to him. I don't think most boys assume that they'd have to parent their partner if they start dating a messy girl.

Yeah when I was moving in with my girlfriend I was super concerned I was going to be that guy because I hate cooking and I’m a real slob. I’m still kinda a slob and while I would never say she doesn’t do anything I definitely do most of the housework. I feel like I also need to do more so I don’t even get bitter about it. I’m honestly kinda relieved not to be dead weight.

It really doesn't look messy to me.

Maybe she has different standards.

[–]maypooletree 44 points  

The print on the sheets literally wouldn't bother me in the slightest, but, and I say this as a friend, I can smell your room from here.

I’d be more concerned of the state of the room. Needs to be cleaned up pronto.

[–]TheStumblingWolf 26 points  

Yikes..sorry but we assume things based on the appearance of other things. People assume I have my shit together (I don't) because I dress nice. The same way, I think she's gonna assume your head is an absolute mess. Me personally, I almost said "yikes" out loud when I saw it. Sorry not sorry.

Hahaha u speak from the heart

[–]torturedgenius271 1 point  

Sounds initially pragmatic and I would agree with this. you need to make snap decisions when you first meet someone because unfortunately we don’t have the time to get to know people.

But if we are talking about going to bed with someone that sounds a bit shallow to me? By that stage you should know what they are about and it shouldn’t matter what’s in there house.

[–]TheStumblingWolf 4 points  

The way I see it, it's instinct or human nature. Whether we want it or not, everything we do and every choice we've made signal to the world what we're about. That doesn't just include things on/in our bodies.

[–]torturedgenius271 0 points  

I literally don’t know where to start with that? Other than to say you sound confused.

[–]TheStumblingWolf 2 points  

Well, to me you sound like you're living in an imaginary world where you see the world as you want to see it, not as it is. But that's ok, we're allowed to have different views :)

[–]torturedgenius271 0 points  

Oh my god!!! Who doesn’t??? We all live in our own worlds and life is what you make it!

Please get a clue about life!

How come you're getting triggered?

[–]torturedgenius271 -1 points  

I’m not, explain to me what’s in correct about the above?

Than tell me whose right or go away and leave me alone!!

[–]deadmonarchonabike 2 points  

So...yes, shallow isn't good and judging the sheets would be shallow. However, if he's looking for a long term thing with her then cleaning the mess shows he knows how to take care of himself. Leaving the mess shows he didn't make an effort even knowing he was having a guest over and would be a red flag (e.g. She might think "It's so messy in here...if we got together long term, would he expect me to be his mommy and pick up after him?"). Like...I'm not a particularly clean person, but I do make an effort for other people and I try to pull my weight around the house more or less.

[–]torturedgenius271 0 points  

A red flag really? I haven’t even mentioned the mess so that’s a straw man..... do u even know what that means?

I don’t think your on my wavelength, we don’t speak the same language so I’m going to leave it there.

I just hope you wake up and give all guys a chance, if you only want guys in armani suits that’s shallow and stupid and will led you to date assholes.

The world is moving to a place where such childish things need to stop! We haven’t got the resources anymore to worry about shit we don’t need. If he loves you and vice verser does it f***ing matter if he’s wearing a potato sack???

You make me sad 😒

[–]deadmonarchonabike 2 points  

Yikes! You've got some issues going on here! Armani suits! --talk about straw man arguments! Where did the money issue come from??

Also no, I do not have to "give all guys a chance." Humans are not broadcast spawners like some fish species. In nature, depending on the species, the male, the female, or both are selective in who they choose to mate with. It's natural to have minimum standards. Everyone has different minimums, but cleanliness and hygiene are common ones, which is why I made my comment.

FWIW I'm relatively happily married. Oh and I make more money than he does. No Armani suits or sugar daddies here. No need to feel sad for me!

If you have substance then I have you wrong but I don’t see a lot of that on mass in today’s society which is my point. Is love island it’s manufactured crap and it’s why we are largely f**ked.

Shall we sort out the rich poor divide.... no I want a fast car (even tho there are speed limits). Shall we sort out climate change no I want to go on holiday to Barbados (wait a while it will sink).

That’s my simple point. if someone has there heart in the right place, loyal, honest and wants the best for his partner nothing else should matter. But people don’t think like that and as you said it’s animalistic mating practices.

If I have you wrong I’m sorry but I hope you can see my point! Trump is the opposite of what I have described yet he gets the most attention be it female, media or material???? I ask you what does that say about us as a species? Hence the sadness!

Gotta tidy up the side of the bed dog, just like everyone else is saying. You can do this though!

[–][deleted] 12 points  

This is NOT decorated 😂😂😂

[–]Floranagirl 10 points  

The bedding is fine. The mess is off-putting, and I say this as a messy person. If this were my room and I was trying to clean up for company I'd at least put the shelves against the wall. having them in the middle of the floor blocking access to the bed is what makes it look so haphazard. As it is, this bedroom looks like it belongs to a teenager who's mom has decided to stop cleaning his room for him. (Or a college student who's never been on his own before)

If you ever are in the situation where someone asks to come to your place and your room looks like this, you can park her in the living room and hand her a drink/snack/etc, then ask her to give you a minute to 'prepare' your room, then go throw everything in the closet. (Otherwise, just try to keep your room clean all the time)

That's not a bedroom: it's a depression nest.

[–]Paltry_Poetaster 20 points  

The design - O.K.

The mess - not O.K.

Honestly that room looks like a sty

I would not show it to anyone. If it is just going to remain a little secret, O.K. but don't ever let someone see it.

Dude...😥

[–]Seabass_87 7 points  

When it's messy by "filthworld"s standards, you know it's time to clean.

[–]suspecrobot 6 points  

Eeeeeew, bedding needs a wash by the looks of it! Do you have a spare set? If so keep a clean one in reserve for when you ask a girl over. Plain sets are best.

And tidy your room, even if you just shove everything under the bed.

[–]JustAnotherNumber99 6 points  

As a girl, I’d run. Seriously, who wants to hang in a pigsty?

Wouldn’t you be embarrassed to let someone you know irl see that room?

[–]Usual-Ad-4990 3 points  

Everything about this room has to change. Make it look more like an adults room and you'll be alright.

[–][deleted] 3 points  

If he has pink hair and resembles one of those troll dolls from the 80s, she most likely was attracted to that kind of stuff and won't mind.

But in reality, get some plaid and a good clean.

[–]quantumbowelsyndrome 4 points  

I'm 40, married and I second this. You want to broaden the appeal of your room for all audiences, not the narrow slice of potential partners that would be into this sort of thing. Once you snag one who clearly has a deeper liking of your authentic self, then you can fly the freak flag.

[–]BadnewzSHO[🍰] 2 points  

I wouldn't worry about it. My room was a hundred times worse. A real pigsty. I had tons of girls over and not one ever ran screaming. If a girl likes you, she is not going to immediately dump you over the mess, or your choice in bedding.

Granted, it needs to be cleaned for your own peace of mind. You will feel better and more accomplished when you make the effort to keep your space clean and organized. Trust me on this. Like I said, my room was way worse, but I cleaned it up and it made me much happier.

Oh, and the bedding choice if fine. Just make the bed. Maybe put up some posters that speak to you. Decorate a bit and make the space your own.

[–]Koomaster 2 points  

This whole room; including the sheets, is bad.

What would she say? If you’ve been dating a bit and she loves you she’ll probably not make a big deal out of things.

But show some respect for yourself and her by trying a bit better.

[–]torturedgenius271 1 point  

A girl once had urine off next to the bed which isn’t the best. On the sheet front don’t think it matters

Incidentally why do you ask? Are you trying to convince someone that they are single cos of there sheets cos that’s just ridiculous and weird why do you care?

[–]mama146 1 point  

Get some real shelving. I wouldnt walk into that room. It looks messy and unsanitary. Clean up!

[–]kblaino_art 1 point  

The design is fine. Own your personality - the messy and general lack of decorum in the room on the other hand is lacking and may turn off potential (longterm) guests.

[–]overthehill333 1 point  

eeuw, screams teenage boy/slob, do a major tidy at least. Get a nice sheet/pillow case set...like plain colour, cotton rich, dark blue, maybe, Target often have nice stuff that isn't costly. It will look more adult. Get some nicer storage than that plastic thing. possibly with drawers or doors, so the clutter is not on display.

Do not hide… great way to find out if she’s simpatico 😉

[–]MissionIssue2062 1 point  

Personally I wouldn't even care. Idek what that is, kinda looks like Digimon but also princess themed? I got no clue. Regardless, I wouldn't care, I got Mario Odessey Bedding, as long as the shit is comfortable.

Room should be cleaned though, she'll likely care more on the mess than the bedding. No one wants to come into a room and see left over food and such. I'm a messy person too, but if I have guests over I make sure my rooms clean enough you can eat off the floor

[–]whatalongusername 1 point  

Try to keep your room a bit more organised. It is okay not to make your bed every day. But if you are expecting company you have to make some effort for the room to be presentable.

[–]divergedinayellowwd 1 point  

Wait a minute. Aspie guys get women into their bedrooms?!? What sorcery is this??

[–]CatsEatHamburgers 1 point  

Not for long if he doesn't clean

[–]CatsEatHamburgers 1 point  

I think the bedsheet is pretty awesome tbh. I dont think it Will cause any issues?

There is however a thing here that might cause issues.

Seriously clean up around the bed. Especially on the floor there. The room is a mess, that's whats going to chase the girl away. Not the bed sheet. Clean it!

Also theres this cream with toilet paper next to it and a magazine on the shelf. Dont put those things together or people draw conclusions.

[–]CatsEatHamburgers 1 point  

The girl would assume he recently "played with himself" and forgot to clean it.

The mess is the problem, the sheets are fine. get shelves or something to throw some the mess into it, the kind of shelves you cant see through and you can close. Dont leave stuff on the floor.

Also the cat would greatly appreciate it if the room Gets cleaned and he has a neat sleeping place again.

What is the black box on the bed?

[–][deleted] 1 point  

Bedding isn’t the problem, it’s how gross the rest of the room is. I would assume he never cleans his sheets
