Okay, so everyone would love to be the guy who has the coolest penthouse apt in the coolest part of town. But that is simply not possible for many of us, so we have to work with what we can get.

If you (like I do) have an inherently shitty apartment, for whatever reason, be it a shitty part of town, a leaky roof or something else, there's two ways that you can get your apartment to be a lot nicer fellas.

Step 1: Get that bitch clean. Really. I know this has been said about a billion times, but for the love of the holy Spaghetti Monster, please clean your home. A clean apartment is so much nicer for everyone to be in, and you yourself will be a lot happier about being home, either alone, with friends or with a potential hook-up, if your place is clean. But I know that you've heard this before, so I'll go onto the most important part:

Step 2: PLANTS MOTHERFUCKER! I can't stress this enough. Plants are such an underrated thing for most guys, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. And I'm not saying that you should have roses or tulips or some other gay-looking flowers (no disrespect), unless that's what you want man. If you want something masculine, then how about a fucking TREE?! That's manly as a mofo! There's a lot of indoor trees that doesn't require much care.

And now you're asking: Why should I have plants?
First off: they make a room look really nice! It brightens the whole room, even if it's just an aloe-vera plant (one of my favorites, because the plant can actually be used practically, instead of just being there for the lookz). When you have plants in a room, it naturally makes the room more oxygenated, which will impact the way the room feels. If you just bring ONE single little plant, it brightens the room and makes it more spacious, instantly!

Furthermore, there are like a trillion plants that you can have indoors, so you just find one that you like! And it shows that you can actually care for something, that you can keep something other than yourself alive (a trait that most ladies look for in a man, I'm sure) and that you care about nature - ladiez dig those nature-dudes! Why do you think that the "lumberjack look" is considered so manly?

So guys. Please clean up your apartment, and bring just one or two plants in, and I promise you, that everyone will have a better time at your place.

Tl;Dr: Plants are the shiz

Edit: Grammar and such. Don't hate. Or hate a little. I'll fix it if there's enough hate. I promise<3

Edit2: As /u/Circumspector mentioned, fake plants also go a long way! Although if you choose to have fake plants, they have to be more flashy, since they wont do anything other than look really nice! Would still recommend real plants, 'cause of oxygen and shit

Edit3: /u/TheJeizon gives some really solid advise and even included pictures of his plants, how he cares for them, their cost and everything, in his comment down below, so check it out! (And notice, that if he didn't have that plant in his first picture, that closet would just be another ol' boring closet - with a plant on top, it's now noticable and looks really nice!)

Edit4: Just for the record, I am NOT an expert on plants. I've killed more plants than I care to admit, but hey, they're just plants! I use some common knowledge, if I'm in doubt I'll see if reddit has any answers, or I use the great answerer of all questions: Google! Try having some plants and keeping them alive, the rest will come.
