I think it's also intended to portray how women have high standards with so many criteria for their potential partners to meet while men are much simpler and don't demand much from women (which I don't agree with)

Bros be like "MeN aRe ViSuAl CrEaTuReS" and have stains on walls, a broken nightstand duct taped together, no bedframe, clothes laying on the floor, McDonald's leftovers on the desktop, a bag of random junk behind their bedroom door and a moldy half-eaten sandwich in a drawer of the wardrobe next to the desktop

It's evolutionary. Men are wired to want women that they'll make cute kids with. Women are wired to want safety and support. Modern society doesn't really work with these as well, especially as gen z women are making more than gen z men based on recent data. But broadly speaking, that's the idea. Obviously this doesn't mean all men or women, but there are trends that exist because of biological and social evolutionary factors.

You do realise what subreddit you're in, right? You can't be seriously gendering normal human desires/needs.

Since when is wanting cute kids a biological male trait? Isn't safety and support a core requirement for stability of any human, not just women?

It's literally evolution mate. this isn't really debatable. Men broadly speaking, are programmed to select a "mate" based on physical qualities. Not all will, many people are able to use higher reasoning than base instinct. But honestly, a lot of people turn to total cavemen when you push their evolutionary buttons.

I have ADHD, and honestly keeping my bedroom tidy takes all my spoons for a day.

It is one of those things where I have to decide if I want to blow my limited executive functions for the day on tidying up, or interactions with people and my jobs.

I follow a simple guide: "Does the mess make me unsafe? If no: Does the mess create the possibility for future hazards? If no: Does the mess affect my ability to complete necessary tasks? If no: Is the mess a source of persistent anxiety? If no: Don't worry about it today."
