Women have discovered a habit after grooming that most men admit they’ve never done before.
The conversation sparked on Reddit when a woman revealed that the final step in her cleaning routine was leaving the newly decorated room and re-entering it to see what it would look like through someone else’s eyes.
“My girls and I have been talking about leaving a room after cleaning and going back in to see what it looks like to someone else. ‘Do boys do that too?’ She wrote.
The thread was quickly flooded with comments from men and women debating whether it was actually a “girl thing.”
“I do this for everything,” one woman wrote, before another added that they do it “every time, without exception.”

One woman had a different opinion: “I’m a girl, but I don’t do that.” However, after cleaning, I open a window and then go out and back in to see if I still smell anything.”
Men also joined the debate.
“I feel like it’s primarily a girl thing.” “It’s also a good way to check if the room smells good,” said one.
“I bet a lot of people won’t,” wrote another.
However, some men always check the room one last time to make sure it is spotless.
“I definitely do.” “I like admiring a job well done,” said one man.
“I’m a guy and I do this.” It’s also a good way to get a feel for what your place smells like. If you stay inside for too long, you get used to the way things are. “A perspective reset can do a lot of good,” wrote another.
A third added: “As a man, I will move around the room, especially the entryway, and look at what it looks like from other people’s perspective as I enter to make sure I’ve cleaned adequately.”
The thread was quickly flooded with comments from men and women debating whether it was actually a “girl thing.”
Others admitted their cleaning routine could use improvement.
“I only clean when my girlfriend is home so she has proof that I’m doing it,” one man said.
“Neither my wife nor I do that.” “We just look around while standing in the room,” wrote another.
