Men Who've Had A Woman Move In With Them Explain How A 'Woman's Touch' Improved Things

Reddit user Fortuna_Pulling asked: 'Men who lives alone and then had a woman move in to your place, what are some examples of “a woman’s touch” that she added?'

All of us have our own unique set of talents, and talents around the home are no exception.

But men have pointed out that after having a woman live with them, their home went from simply functional to welcoming and cozy.

"Men who [have lived] alone and then had a woman move into your place, what are some examples of 'a woman's touch' that she added?"

So Comforting.

"So many blankets everywhere."

An Annoying Number of Pillows

"So many f**king throw pillows. I can't sit on the couch without moving some. And then where am I supposed to put them?

I'm okay with decorating, but not when it gets in the way of an object's function."

- Pac_Eddy

"I don't get it either, although I'm not nearly as girly as my sister."

"I went to visit them and there was a small mountain of throw pillows at the foot of the bed by the time I cleared them off, all to sleep in their guest bedroom."

- Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

The Garden Feature

"She made a raised flower bed in my backyard and planted a nice little vegetable garden."

- johnsonfromsconsin

"Yeah, my wife is the one who works with plants. I mow the lawn and occasionally rake the leaves when they fall. Also, I trim the two big bushes we have in the backyard once a year. Even that feels like too much yard work for me (but I’m too cheap to pay someone else to do it for me). She likes digging in the dirt. I don’t, never did."

Surrounded By Loved Ones

"Apparently I am supposed to have pictures of my loved ones in my house. Who knew?"

- BillionaireGhost

Not Knowing What They Had

"My house is plain as f**k. My ex had it looking like a home. Decor/rugs/wall hangings, etc. It was 10 times better. She took it all when she left and I never got around to trying it out myself. I should, though. It really looked so much better."

Home Sweet Ship

"I worked on a ship when a female cook-steward started working there, before the crew were all male."

"Within a couple of days, the mess and galley were transformed. Tablecloths, curtains, coasters, it was really all new, the galley became a water-cooler kinda place where you always could go to have a chat and get a snack, the galley always smelled of cooking and she was listening to her radio."

"It was a real game changer from the former grumpy guy and sterile setting. Our skipper loved it."

- TheCapten

Out of Thin Air

"A friend of mine, who grew up with his dad and two brothers, told me they found out his dad had a girlfriend when suddenly a candle appeared in the living room out of nowhere."

- The_Sceptic_Lemur

Actual Furniture

"She replaced my cardboard box with an end table. Unnecessarily."

- shytster

"The NERVE!"

- NuttonButton

The Moment He Knew

"I came home once from work. She’d made an awesome dinner. Put cut-up strawberries in the salad."

"Strawberries, guys. It was game over."

"We've been married nine years now and she’s still doing everything on a strawberries-in-the-salad level."

- Gr8BrownBuffalo

Improved Living

"Before my wife moved in (girlfriend at that time), I lived with a friend and our flat looked pretty bad, more like a university student flat than anything else. Zero decorations, old furniture from the landlord, horrible cream color walls, etc."

"Since we were always at work and barely home, it was not a problem for us. Living abroad, I always considered it a temporary place and didn't have much attachment to it, so I didn't want to spend time and money to improve the space."

"Once she moved in, we slowly started making it into a real home. We painted the walls, bought furniture, plants, hung some photos, bought a cat, etc. It made such a huge difference and improved our quality of life, to be honest."

- vgcamara

It's Called "A Variety"

"The million shampoo bottles and all the seasonings."

- ButtervonBaum

More Accessories

"Pictures, curtains, cushions. Little tables to put your drinks on. Coasters! So much stuff, bless her."

- stumpytoeskiing

"For some reason, a couple of different companies send me little magazines every once in a while, so I just use those as coasters. It’s always fun to see what’s on the cover of my new coasters."

- Freedom_7

Organized Like a #CleanTok Video

"My messy fridge turned into a very clean and organized 'refrigeratohrrr.'"

- badboogyman

The At-Home Bakery

"She always gets vanilla candles, and now this house always smells like a bakery, and GOD D**MIT, I LOVE IT."

- Big-Routine222

A Happy Home

"A warmth and happiness I didn’t know I was missing and CERTAINLY didn’t know how to cultivate."

"Art, glassware style unity, refrigerator organization, multiple sets of sheets… The list goes on. A million little touches that compile a happy home."

- CoolAndGroovy

Though there are a few jokes thrown in here, it's heartwarming to see how well-received a comfy and cozy home was for these men on the subReddit and how they're willing to contribute all of those feelings to their partner's hard work.

Alyssa Milano Shares Poignant Tribute To 'TV Husband' Julian McMahon After His Death At 56

Hope Walz, the daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, responded brilliantly after Fox News personality Laura Ingraham attacked her for praising the mayoral primary victory of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City on TikTok, saying Ingraham spends her time "not caring about other people.”

Mamdani handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week, sparking racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who've claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
