Your place, not mine

June 18, 2008 · Print This Article

Dear Eve,

Why is it than when you are dating a woman they like to leave shit at your house when they don’t live there? Things like clothing, underwear, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, etc. Can it really all be by accident? Or are they trying to mark their territory?

Annoyed By her Games

Dear Annoyingly Paranoid,

Oh my…you have us all figured out, don’t you? We ladies are all about “marking your apartment” like love crazed, leg-lifting Labradors. Because if we leave things at your house, that makes you ours, right? “My hairbrush is here, that means we’re getting married, wheeee!

Oh jeez, what bullshit. You know why we leave stuff at your place? Because if you have us staying there 3+ times a week we get a little tired of carrying a toothbrush, hair products, deodorant, clean panties, makeup, etc. in our purses like damn hobos! Or even worse than the hobo-ing, having to continually participate in the walk of shame.

The real question here is why the hell do you guys flip out about it? “Oh duuuude, this bitch is trying to stake her claim on me, man!” No, you special, special man…that is not it AT ALL. We are simply trying not to leave your homes looking like someone that got flipped over and sexed 18 ways from Sunday last night (which hopefully we did). You damn fools.

I know sometimes the wily ways of women are confusing to you simple-minded gents, so I will spell it out for you. We don’t enjoy feeling or looking like bag ladies or street walkers. So if you enjoy nights of unabashed, unashamed, wet and wild monkey love followed by our naked bodies remaining beside you for a few hours, allow us some space for the tools necessary to transform us back into proper ladies in the morn.

Isn’t the promise of continued dirty sexin’ avec your woman worth a drawer?

Love and Kisses,

Eve

HAHAHA Love that reply… Yes if we did not maintain ourselves, the dude probably would never have been interested in the first place. Maybe some chicks would be trying to “mark territory”, but I think thats not usually the case. Unless she is hanging curtains, or picking out china, dont worry about it. Jeez. Eve is right, its a pain in the ass to have to scurry home hoping nobody will see you before you can clean up. This guy is giving himself waaaay to much credit. And if he is that bothered by it, tell him to pay someone for it and she wont leave her shit at his place. What a dope.

Why is this such an issue? I know I have dated men who have no problem with it.

So much so, they let the girls they are schtupping on the side leave there stuff there too! Dumbasses…

I digress.

Look here boys. Until she brings ferns and pictures of Great Aunt Matilda, chill out.

Unless you like her with bed head and smeared mascara she is just trying to maintain and not tote a 20lb gym bag wherever she goes.

And trust me, when she wants to take it a step, she will tell you it is time.

I have to agree with Eve here, if you really wanted a tramp leaving your place in the morning, wouldn’t you have brought one home? Personally, I figure if she doesn’t want to take the time to look better in the morning, you got screwed. She’s just using you for gratuitous sex, and has no intention of coming back. Just like when you slip out of her place carrying your underwear with your hair looking like you stuck your finger in a light socket. Lighten up, your neighbors are going to know what happened, so don’t you want them to see the woman you remember and wanted as opposed to some tired looking hag?

If it’s such an issue, why is he having her stay over in the first place…hmmm?

The only guys tis is an issue to are the ones that are bringing more than one woman back to his place to bang like a shithouse door in a gale. Nothing blocks cock faster than a woman running into your bathroom to freshen up and finding another fox’s bra on the shower rod. Or her lipstick in the medicine cabinet.

or when she peeks into the nightstand and finds the panties.

Non couches really should have no problem with this, as it’s pretty much a sign that SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE FUCKING YOU.

Does your bubblegum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
If your mama says “Don’t chew it,” do you swallow it in spite?
And it catches on your tonsils… and you heave it left and right. (Eee, eee!)

Ever? Not even an earring?

Strangely, women never seem to want to come to my house, they always want me to go over to their place. It really doesn’t matter to me one way or the other, my place is full of girl stuff, 5 year old girl stuff. Anything’s an improvement over that.

Maybe they don’t feel safe gettin’ naked in da’ hood…just a thought.

a) Oh, I’m sure she’ll nudge me the moment she hears something.
B) One thing I don’t screw around with is toilet paper. Two-ply and quilted. Too many years of the construction paper they hand out in the military, I need comfort now.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to move so bad it hurts. I just want to make sure I have a job I can move close to.

There is a very simply solution to some stupid hooker leaving shit at your place uninvited - toss it. Throw enough of her shit away and she’ll stop leaving it.

Oh, and to answer the flagrantly stupid question, “Isn’t the promise of continued dirty sexin’ avec your woman worth a drawer?” the answer is NO.

I wish a moistened bink would fling a scimitar at me. It would be an effective way to justify my eternal attempts to wrest power from the masses.

Despite Trista’s charming protestations to the contrary, women DO leave shit to mark their territory. Trista mistakenly assumes that because she has a brain and an independent streak, all women due. This is demonstrably false. Single women, particularly those in their 20’s, are fucking crazy. Not a little bit. Not a half bubble off plumb. Totally batshit crazy. Their games are tiresome, their methods transparent, and the only way to deal with them is negative reinforcement or getting rid of them entirely. If 20-something women have any redeeming social value, it’s that they are easily replaceable.

Men are just as fucking nutty in their 20’s. And let’s be honest, some people never outgrow it. This guy is obviously feeling smothered and invaded. Rather than throw her shit out, he should stop bangin’ her and move on to collecting one night stands.

Says the woman! I’m emotional diconnected, and even easily just plain difficult, but, I’m not crazy. No where near as irrationally insane as most women my age are.

Jime said:

Hahaha. In the word of Trista: What a dumb.

I recommend making a cabinet with several drawers, one for each of the women to keep their private things in. Added bonus if you have a label maker and can sticker each drawer with name tags so that the girls don’t mix their things up. It’s always a good idea to be considerate to la donna.


On 06/18/08 at 8:07 am
Jeremy said:

Hahahaha!
That might work if you’re rich enough. But instead of drawers you’ve got to have a house big enough to give them their own room, a la Hugh Hefner.


On 06/18/08 at 8:11 am
Jime said:

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. How about a closet full of neatly stacked (and labeled) shoe boxes? You can cram a lot of stuff into a shoe box. Plus, girls like shoes, so it’ll be a reminder of how thoughtful you are.

And I didn’t wear your clothes, so don’t expect me to wash them. I’m just sayin’

I wash my own clothes thank you very much! Like that’s some daunting task!? I also cook meals and clean my house too. I ,erely agree with Annoyed that I don’t like people leaving clothes and everything else at my house. I’m not delusional enough to beleive that that’s a sign of someone “marking” their territory, but it still is irksome.

I don’t even like when my siblings or their offspring leave stuff at my house, though I’m not going be such a big baby about it. Just toss the shit if you really don’t want it there that bad…sheesh!

Meghan said:

The list of things he gives as an example are ridiculous. If you are dating and she is staying over is she not allowed even a toothbrush? I have a feeling he isn’t going to let her use his (I wouldn’t).
So basically, he wants no trace of her after she’s left. Until he starts having to spend an extra 20 minutes getting ready putting together the overnight bag he needs to chill out or go back to dating women who don’t like to put on a clean pair of panties in the morning.
Like Sarahh said - it isn’t like she is dolling up his den with her favorite frilly pillow.

This whole thing and almost every comment made me laugh. I’ve never been one to leave anything, anywhere. Like leaving an earring at your place, Karri, I said, “throw the fucker away.” Not a big deal.

Now, conversely, a shitton of women friends have left stuff at my house. Do you know the time and money it takes to ship it across so many state lines? See, it doesn’t matter…what it REALLY takes the most is love.

I think the same applies if a man were to ever leave anything of real value of his at my place. I still want to return two things back to my ex. I won’t toss it because to me, without their okay, it’s bordering on rude. maybe what I’ll do in the future is explain my new rule. You leave it, you come get it. If you don’t do this within 30 days, I reserve the right to throw it away without tracking your ass down to return it for you. I’ve got two kids, I don’t need a third.

I say he should just be glad that he’s lucky enough to have someone. Who cares if a woman leaves her stuff at your house/apartment? If she’s your girlfriend then what’s the problem? Are you ashamed that someone could see her stuff there? Hell, if it was me I’d be more embarassed of my messy bedroom. Adding a couple of her things to the mess isn’t a big deal.


On 06/18/08 at 4:19 pm
Karri said:

I think the key to the situation is that she perhaps hasn’t been bestowed girlfried status as of yet. He did say that they’re just dating. Which goes to prove he’s obviously not ready to move forward…at least with her.

Eathan White said:

Wow there’s alot of comments. If he was smart.. He could keep a zip lock bag and put all of her left behind contents in it..and put it in a cabinet or drawer. Then right before she comes back..empty the contents back out where she left them. That way he still feels like he has his space..and she feels like she’s marked her spot also.

He’s gotta start to use his brain! lol

Wow. The only item I’ve left at the a guy’s house was earrings (by mistake), and we’ve been dating for about 7 months. I like my own bed unless we are having a weekend together, so I’m gone by midnight anyway.
