9 things every guy needs in his apartment.

[Albion]

I read this article in Maxim Mag. I thought it was a pretty good thing to pass on.

1: Two kick-ass wine glasses. (Waterford, Tiffany & Co., Baccarat)
2: Two big fluffy towels. (Tommy Hilfiger Home, Ralph Lauren Home Collection, Banana Republic Home)
3: One bottle of nice champagne. (Veuve Clicquot, Perrier-Jouët, Moët & Chandon)
4: One vintage Poster. I myself like real vintage Soviet Propaganda posters.
5: Five Great Books. (Catcher in the Rye, ****ens, Dostoevsky, etc...)
6: Something that lives. Dog, cat, plant, sea monkey — women don’t care what it is, as long as it proves you can commit to keeping something alive for longer than four days. Mold doesn’t count.
7: Framed pictures of family and friends.
8: One piece of wacky, tacky kitsch. In other words something weird, as Maxim puts it "chrome bust of Elvis in the hallway"
9: Fine bedding. Make sure you have a set of sheets with at least 250 thread count and a down comforter.

Please allow me to add:

10. Massage oils

11. A decent stereo system.

Here's a simple date idea. Ask your date to bring over some of her favorite music and be ready to share some of yours. Dance with her to it in your living room.

12. DONT forget the condoms!

Hey, I never though of that. Great idea...

Next thing you know you have all your shelves stocked with feminine products just in case.

Yeah, I read that article. Good advice!

Also, add to that list: A vacuum cleaner. And make sure you use it regularly. Personally, I have an extremely under-developed sense of smell, and something has to be really strong in order for me to catch the scent at all. But most people aren't as bad off as myself, and women especially can tell if you've vacuumed recently. I read that in either Maxim or (more likely) Men's Health, I forget which.

Something else for the list:
GOOD LIGHTING SYSTEM....
You should be able to dim the lights in the house to your desire. I have one control box that controls ALL the lights in the apartment (with diming capabilities)... mood lighting is essential!

 

[Lexomatic]

Another one for the list:

Fresh food in fridge, especially stuff for breakfast the next morning. This also means removing any/all mouldy 3-month old containers of "oh my god, what is that?"

...and yes, definetely the spare, still-packaged toothbrush.

 

[The Dude]

A few more items I think are worthwhile:

1. Some magazines lying on the coffee table that might give her an insight to the kind of interesting/healthy/dynamic guy you are. Men's health and fitness magazines are a must.

2. Some fresh bright coloured fruit like bananas, oranges. Again, shows that you take care of yourself.

3. Some kind of artwork with a pscho-sexual implication to get her subconsciously thinking about it.

4. A musical instrument if you play one, or if not some piece of sporting equipment like a tennis racket should be on display to show that you are a man of many talents.

5. Some CD's with a slow sexual beat. My personal favourite is "Enigma"

6. A well stocked range of beverages, eg. at least two good brands of coffee, a couple of herbal teas, coca-cola, orange juice.

7. A good , clean, ironed T-shirt for her to wear next morning ....you hope!

New, clean, yes, but ironed! I think that is just a little an*l.

Sorry to mess with your post but if you want to make a woman happy you need a lot more than nine things, to be prepared for everything a woman is going to throw at you needs every thing that has ever been on this earth. Say you go out and buy a shirt of every colour you can find she will prefer you in the one colour you can't get. It all comes down to the fact women want what they can't have. Actually having said that all you need is your tongue, a few fingers and of course what you think with

 

[The Dude]

Well it was bound to happen...

I had a set piece seduction in place recently ie. I knew I could get her to come back to my place after dinner with a fair prospect of some between the sheets action.

So I prepared my apartment with a keen eye.

Two things I didn't have we you can now add to the list.

1) Sensualy massage oils/creams
2) Rubber bands for if she wants to shower in the morning without getting her hair wet. (No way I'd have thought of that one on my own).


Oh, and the T-Shirt thing?
OK it doesn't have to be ironed but just make sure its one where the mustard stains aren't TOO noticeable ;-]

This one is key. You have to have a really new, nice large cashmere sweater or shirt for her to wear. She will not want to run around your house naked. Women love cashmere. Nothing feels as good on your skin as cashmere. Women, just love to wear our shirts. Trouble is she will likely take it home and you will never see it again. lol
