Ask men why they do things the way they do and maybe you'll get an honest answer

My general rule whenever I do the cable audit is that I'll keep ONE of each antiquated cable type (the longest one), or if I know the device it's for, I'll label it and keep that.
It's all well and good to have one long VGA cable lying around, a USB-B cable, a DVI cable, but I probably shrank my cable box by 1/3 just getting rid of all the ancillary mini/micro usb cables that came with every tchotchke now that everything uses USB-C.

Sounds like a great idea until you need two VGA cables

If a guy moves into a place that doesn't have curtains on the windows, he will be forced to buy some when the morning light wakes him up the next day.

What "forces" him to buy art work, or coasters, or an area rug, or that set of porcelain pigs dressed as people?

I have been told that men are inherently "of action," driven only by internal forces in all that they say and do, unlike women, who are inherently reactive, driven by no internal force and only responsive and in need of "forcing," typically to the basest stimuli. Has KF lied to me??

No, I think that's absolutely true. But the internal force here is just horniness. Men will furnish their house with any amount of kitchy crap if there is a woman in their life that they want to keep around. All these barren houses that you see are obviously men who don't have a woman in their life. You haven't been lied to.

I always think the truest joke I ever heard was Chris Rock, who said "If a nigga could get laid in a cardboard box, he wouldn't buy a house".

Lol, well, I was also joking. I don't buy into faddish midwit sex-based biological determinism as a serious answer for everything. Reductio ad absurdum.

But now that you mention it, approval of another person (getting laid, among other things) is external. If not, then women who supposedly do x to fit in, keep up, or attract someone are equally driven by internal forces.

And from some comments itt, apparently a mattress on the floor and a single floor lamp + crucified Jesus doesn't shouldn't keep women out of your bed. (It may keep them from coming back, though. Calculated risk or learned helplessness, you decide.)

Well everything kind of works out because women love a project. It's like they have this blank canvas to paint on. You shouldn't pre-fill your house with crap and deprive them of that experience.

I now have a replica painting on the wall in my bedroom. That's as close to "decorating" as I get.

I always liked that painting. I actually quite enjoy Edward Hopper's art. I have no idea what that says about me.

I decorate my house because I don't like looking at bare walls. Also if I am staring off into space, sometimes I can play it off as I am looking at a picture, rather than admitting I was wondering how jacked a gorilla can get if we taught them how to lift. Most dudes do get to the point where they realize they should have something on the walls. Some even further realize it shouldn't be anime related. Which is why hardware stores have the shelf of generic art.
 
All of those pictures of guys' apartments are usually guys that are still pretty young and new to being on their own. They don't have much money or anything else so I think it's unfair to make a point out of it. Even if it's not to a lady's taste or it's more spartan than some people may prefer most guys I've noticed who've had their own places for a while will have more stuff. It's usually things pertaining to their lifestyle and hobby's rather than generic decoration though.

Most men don't really go for any sort of "vision" of some specific fashion aesthetic for their room or something like that.

Yeah because men are typically functionalist - the question is always "does this fulfill its purpose, does it do what I need it to", while women ask the question "does this make me appear how I wish to appear".

Guys will hang up posters of anime girls or big titty swimsuit models because they look at them and go "yeah looking at sexy woman rocks", women will remodel their bedroom to look like a French princess' bedchamber because "I'm going to look so cute sleeping here".

Why do some men not get nuanced body languages when it comes to flirting? For example, a woman might look at a man's lips for a moment to insinuate she wants to be kissed. What do men consider flirting?

Why be nuanced and not be explicit in what you want?

I was kissed by a woman without being asked for consent in 2018 and carry the scars with me to this day.
