Yes that's quite my image (some mess in the apt and a few instruments all over the place), but I'm in my 30s (I do look in my 20s tho) but wondering if I can keep it up. What I have done is to 'craft' an image of the artsy but grown-up guy (which is also congruent w/me ofc) I have gotten compliments on the looks (not particularly handsome BTW) so I think I'm on the right tracks, I do however have a 'childlike attitude' in general (maybe too much sometimes TBH).
I saw a saying - If you aren't grown up in 70 years? Then you don't have to."
I'm organically incapoble of keeping a neat house. As you get older more women accept that as a boyfriend disqualifyier. I have small music jams at my place on Saturday afternoon and occasional dance events, so I don't let my embarassment at my housekeeping isolate me, I'm not even much of a musician. Like I think with the right people I could be in a semi-professional band, I never have been.
I tell women on the dancefloor that I have an "emergency dancefloor" if they ever need it. That's worked pretty damn well in the SwingDance/FolkDance social scenes. But to do that, I have to be prepared for someone who just wants to WaltzDance. It happens.
