You meet someone intriguing (or at the very least eye-catching) at a party or a bar. You go on a couple of dates -- for a coffee, a beer, a movie, or maybe even a whole meal. After some thought, you decide that it's time ... to see his living quarters.
Going back to the apartment of a man you like can be daunting. You never really know what you'll find there: No toilet paper? Ten roommates with bunk beds? Too many photos of ex-girlfriends? A bag of his baby teeth under the bed? The possible turn-offs are endless -- as detailed by bloggers, women's magazines and television shows.
However, here at HuffPost Women we prefer to focus on the good stuff -- those things in his living space that make you more interested in him as soon as you walk in. Maybe it's a collection of vintage magazines (a curated collection -- we're not into hoarders), or a great piece of furniture he purchased someplace other than IKEA, or the fact that there is not a single dirty dish in his kitchen sink. Below you'll find a roundup of our biggest male apartment turn-ons (gleaned mostly from our friends and co-workers, who will remain nameless), but now we want to hear about yours!
Tell us what you want to see in a man's apartment by tweeting @HuffPostWomen using the hashtag #AptTurnOn. We'll feature your answers in our slideshow.

Photos Of Him & His Family
Good Books (And A Nice Bookshelf)
"Nothing <em>too</em> pristine or organized, that means he's trying too hard to be intellectual when he's not."
A Big Bed (i.e. Not A Twin Bed)
"His bed. If it's too small, I can't work with that."
"Also, an actual bed (not just mattress) with actual sheets and an actual comforter. I wish that that could go without being said."
A Subscription To 'The New Yorker'
"I really like a good <em>New Yorker</em>. Bonus points if it has his name on it indicating a subscription."
A Nice Coffee Machine
Healthy Food In The Fridge
"... Or food in the fridge at all."
"At least four fresh fruits or vegetables."
Clean, Fluffy Towels
'Jeopardy!' On DVR
Triple-Ply Toilet Paper
A Plant (That's Still Alive)
Big Windows
"Actually ... say 'lots of natural light.'"
A Bathroom Sink Sans Hair From Shaving
"No little hairs in the sink and a hand towel that looks like it gets washed on a regular basis! I would marry that man if he exists!"
No Roommates
A Guitar
A Great DVD Collection
A Nice Wine Selection
A Book On The Nightstand
"... but minus points for self help -- that's what Kindles are for!"
A Nice Bathroom (Specifically A Nice Shower)
"Something that gives a sense of personality. A subscription to something random like <em>Discover</em>, a shotglass shaped like a pineapple, a poster from a concert they went to in high school, a plant ... never mind, just the shower."
"I mean ... a stand up shower couldn't hurt ..."
Mac Laptop And/Or iPad
Clean Sheets
"Not scuzzy sheets."
An Impressive Sneaker Collection
"Impressive sneaker collection that is dominated mostly by Nike ... not a joke."
Cheese (That's Not American Cheese)
Good Beer In The Fridge
Seltzer
