Do you make assumptions on the first impressions of how people furnish true home and bedroom ?

I have a open plan home , my bedroom is on and open platform up on stilts on one end , and I鈥檝e had a queen size bed , alway have done , partly due to at one time I was big guy.
Recently I had a woman visit my home for dinner along with other friends , the first thing she did was roll her eyes and tut and comment

I personally don't mind seeing a little clutter...I like a home that looks "lived in" but neat, to me that shows a sense of comfortableness and that the people there are down to earth and not afraid to be human. The furniture doesn't always have to match exactly as long as it's clean, not torn/broken/falling apart, and comfortable to use. I like a house that is clean, but I'm not talking pristine museum quality perfection either. As for the d茅cor? I'd prefer it to reflect the tastes and personalities of those who live there even if it isn't quite "me" or my particular tastes. A house is a person's or family's own private refuge and sanctuary and that is part of what makes it a home. If I'm invited into that then who am I to judge or even dictate what is or isn't, should or shouldn't be. I don't have to like or agree with what I see there but I do have to respect it (and them) because it's not mine and I'm the "intruder" there (even as an invited guest). When someone invites you into their home, they are inviting you into an intimate part of their lives and that should be an honor. I know this was talking mostly about women here, but I just felt the need to put in my 2 cents worth, Thanks for the time.馃 My wife feels the same way I do and we both think that girl was rude and out of line
Probably to an extent but I really don't care what others do with their home as long as iam able to sit down and drink out of their cups safely

Certain things do stand out. Is the place clean? Is the person a hoarder? Does the bed have a Spider-Man comforter Does the home look like it was decorated by Stevie Wonder?

Maybe she's an asshole!
Most women decorate in a different way from men. She wasnt necessarily insulting you.

@JustLikeGreta that is pretty insulting. Meant or not.
@JaggedLittlePill Everyone has their own tastes.
JaggedLittlePill46-50, F
@JustLikeGreta Yes. But they do not have the right to express their own taste when they walk into another persons home and decide they dislike that persons taste.

Who has the audacity to do that? Assholes.

Yes i have had it happen. They never were invited again.
