Women candidly reveal all the ‘GREEN FLAGS’ hidden around a man’s apartment that make them want to pursue a relationship

Dozens of women have candidly lifted the lid on all the “green flags” hidden around a man’s apartment that push them to pursue a relationship.

The discussion was sparked by an anonymous user in the Ask Reddit thread on the popular discussion forum.

The original post asked, “Women, what things do you notice or look for in a man’s apartment with green flags?”

And it was quickly flooded with insightful answers, but some positive indicators may surprise you.

The post, shared earlier this week, was largely flooded with comments about items found in a suitor’s bathroom.

One user commented: ‘Toilet paper provided, sheets on bed, (clean) towels for hands, and body and separate tea towels, artwork on the walls, a CLEAN TOILET and WASH BOX.’

“Towels and hand soap in the bathroom,” says another.

A third person added: ‘Clean, dry towels. And a big green flag if they also have hand and face wipes. Astronomical bonus if they keep the washcloths separate/in a special place.”

Someone else said: ‘Hand soap… but also, quietly, a waste bin in the bathroom. I know, weird, but there were so many times when I got my period at a guy’s house and wondered what to do, lol.’

In a similar vein, others praised men who made sanitary products such as tampons or sanitary pads readily available to female visitors.

Another important ‘green flag’ what was a high priority for women was seeing that a man owned pets or plants.

One woman wrote: ‘Plants. It’s the best thing after having a pet. Plants need care, they are alive, and having one (or more) shows that there is a nurturing side to them.”

A second person commented: ‘Personal preference, but houseplants are always a green flag. Bonus if they know how to propagate and make it happen.’

Another added: “Well cared for pets. Clean litter box, fresh water, complete food/regular feeding schedule. I like seeing it. It breaks my heart and is a huge red flag when I see signs of pet neglect.”

‘An affectionate, well-behaved pet! It’s amazing how much someone can treat another living being and tell you who it is!’ said another observer.

Elsewhere, many women admitted to analyzing a man’s cooking too.

One person wrote: ‘A few clean dishes. I don’t mind washing dishes in the sink, I’m not a hypocrite. But it’s a dire situation if you don’t have one clean cup with which I can get water.’

A second person added: ‘Kitchen is fairly stocked with equipment. I understand that I have little food, I am often sparse in that area myself.

‘But if we have simple pots and pans, spatulas and tongs, sieve, whisk, ladle; etc. It makes it much easier to come over for fun cooking dates, and you can find all of this at Goodwill, so there are no excuses.”

A third person commented: ‘A well stocked fridge. It doesn’t have to be full, but there should be more than one takeaway and some energy drinks.”

Some women added that seeing objects depicting a man’s hobbies is also a clear “green flag.”

One person wrote: ‘Proof of hobbies!!!!!!!!! I’m a nerd and I like seeing nerdy things. Books, game setups, mini model builds, Lego, puzzles, board games, instruments/pedals/equipment… Tell me anything! Show me it all!’

A second person commented: ‘Cleanliness, even though I think it’s the bare minimum. To me, a big green flag is proof of a hobby or interest, something they are passionate about or proud of.”

One person added: ‘The first time I went to my future husband’s apartment, I immediately noticed that he had framed photos of his family and even his cats. An instant keeper lol.’
