The messiness of a bachelor’s apartment exists within a fleeting window in a man’s life. Being a single male means not having expectations put on you by someone else. The living space of a single man often dramatically changes when he lives with a woman. As a rule, the woman’s aesthetic wins, and that’s usually a good thing.
