    Whether you just want to get laid or genuinely dig a chick, do yourself a major favor by lady-proofing your pad before inviting her over. Unlike men, who tend to focus on the big picture, woman are pros at picking out particulars, like the stack of Playboys under your desk or bottle of Colon Cleanse next to your toilet. Even if she’s totally digging you, certain items possess the power to dial her notch back down to zero. Toss them, hide them, fix them. Just don’t let her see them.

    1. An Extra Toothbrush

    Even if you use the toothbrush for an innocuous purpose like cleaning your watch, she’ll presume you’re either sleeping with someone else or too hung up on an ex to toss her abandoned items. Both cause her to cross your name off her “to do” list.

    2. A Moldy Fridge

    If you noticed and ignored the fungal growth, she’ll think you’re lazy. If you didn’t even know your food was sprouting limbs, she’ll consider you an irresponsible idiot whose wallet is likely filled with long-expired condoms. While women will often excuse sloppiness, lack of cleanliness is unforgivable. Bad hygiene means nasty hands near their lovely lady parts.

    3. Your Parents

    Because you still live at home. Sure, if you have a really good reason, like you’re caring for a sick parent or saving for a grown-up goal, a good gal will let this slide. However, if you’re 30 and live at home just for the free food and laundry service, she’ll think you’re an immature leech who’ll suck her dry once you’re done with the 'rents.

    4. "The Game" by Neil Strauss

    Do we really need to explain this one? Nothing says "player" like a book that teaches men how to be players. Hide that hardcover or risk not only turning a gal off but also starting a battle of the sexes that’ll end with you getting slapped.

    5. An Entire Cabinet of Grooming Products

    A guy who spends an hour every night on his moisturizing routine is usually the same high-maintenance dude who asks for five substitutions at any restaurant. She’ll think you’re superficial, self-centered and extremely hard to please. None of these attributes make her want to sleep with you.

    6. Silk Sheets

    Unless she looks like Kat Von D, silk sheets are far more of a turnoff than turn-on. Ladies know that men buy silk because they think it’ll get them laid. She’ll conclude that you’ve got no grasp on what really turns a woman on. Moreover, while silk may be sensual during sex, the sweat-inducing material means she’ll wake up in a pool of your swamp ass, a threat that’ll scare her off before you can get off.

    7. Hardcore Gaming Equipment

    A special controller or two is fine and you may even get away with a headset, but a pimped-out gaming chair and multiple screens cross the line. In addition to realizing you’re an enormous nerd, she’ll guess that your rather juvenile hobby will leave little time for an adult relationship.

    8. Condom Wrappers

    On the floor, under the bed, even in the garbage, anything that insinuates you’ve recently gotten laid lowers your chances of getting laid. She’ll take you for a man-whore, and a dumb one at that.

    9. A Permanent Beer-Pong Table

    While a badass feature of any college pad, a massive pong table that takes up your entire living room is a total turnoff thereafter. She’ll surmise -- probably correctly -- that you’re living in the past and would rather get wasted with your frat bros than take her out for a nice dinner.

    10. "Star Wars" or "Lord of the Rings" Memorabilia

    One or two items show you have interests outside of sleeping with her. But memorabilia and sex appeal have an inverse relationship. The more cardboard cutouts and fake weaponry, the less she'll want to do battle in the bedroom.
