Men Can't Keep House	comment	It doesn't matter if a male character is a globe-trotting super-spy, a hyperintelligent genius, or a Millionaire Playboy — according to this trope, any male who's responsible for maintaining a home, apartment, or regeneration pod will inevitably fail in the most spectacular way possible. When the domicile is actually shown, expect to see unwashed laundry stuck to the ceiling, mold-covered unspeakables in the near-empty refrigerator, pornographic magazines under the mattress (or out in the open), and empty beer cans and pizza boxes everywhere. If and when a person he is looking to impress (usually his mother, boss, or love interest) comes by, there will be a sudden flurry of activity as the hopeless male shoves everything into a closet in an attempt to instantly clean the place. A variation of this trope appears if the male character is living at home with his parents; in this case, expect his room to be an island of grunge while the rest of the house is immaculately well-kept. Trash of the Titans may be invoked if the mess is of epic proportions. Some works depict a slovenly bachelor as a shorthand for virile heterosexuality, implying that a true man does not care about the appearance or state of their domicile. By contrast, excessive cleanliness and thoughtful decoration are sometimes seen as a sign of homosexuality, feeding an equally-pervasive stereotype that all gay men are awesome housekeepers, or neuroticism, with all this implies regarding healthy behaviour. In other works, however, a messy, poorly-kept domicile is a shorthand for bratty, self-obsessed immaturity, or a very disturbed individual, and so a bad bet that way. Not that this is entirely inaccurate. Young single men living alone or with other male roommates may not have the time nor the inclination to keep house well, especially when their abode is mostly used for sleeping. In many cultures, women are raised as housekeepers, with the expectation that their place is in the husband's home; consequently, the men are socialized to expect women to take up housekeeping and have never learned such tasks. This trope is older than you might think. In fact, Betty Friedan pointed out the Unfortunate Implications for women as well as men in The Feminine Mystique in 1963: not only is it rather insulting toward men, but if men simply can't be expected to keep house decently, it follows that housekeeping must be the woman's responsibility, even if she'd rather pursue a career and split the domestic duties. Today this is almost, but not quite, a Dead Horse Trope, especially in Comedies. Growing female workforce participation in many countries around the world has meant that fewer women are full-time housekeepers, which in turn supports a more equal distribution of labour in the household. A common subversion of this trope is for the husband to merely be feigning incompetence around the house so he can get away with doing less of it. A more recent and increasingly common inversion of this trope involves women being incapable of tidying up after themselves, with men being the ones who clean. A supertrope to A Day in Her Apron, but while that trope contrasts the skills of a couple, this one focuses solely on the inability of men (married or single) to keep house. Might be subverted with a case of Just Fine Without You. The reason why Mess of Woe is chiefly a Male trope. Contrast House Husband, Real Men Wear Pink and Neat Freak; compare and contrast with Feminine Women Can Cook. Also see Dads Can't Cook, Guys are Slobs, Lazy Husband, Lonely Bachelor Pad, Macho Disaster Expedition, and The Pig-Pen.

Men Can't Keep House / int_1034e2a	comment	Downplayed and ultimately subverted with Yoshida in Higehiro. He lives alone and his apartment isn't unusually messy at the start of the series, and he only makes Sayu cook and clean to give her something to do, so she doesn't feel like a Pretty Freeloader. He does seem to be something of a One Note Chef, however, and Sayu makes him a recipe book before she leaves.

Men Can't Keep House / int_109f7814	comment	Played pretty straight in Sherlock, as 221b Baker Street, inhabited by two men, is consistently a mess (complete with a hurried attempt by Sherlock to clean things up when John first visits, which amounts to him moving a couple of things around and sticking some mail onto the mantlepiece with a jack knife). This is usually played as more of a result of Sherlock's occupation and experiments, but Mrs. Hudson is about the only person who ever makes any effort to tidy the place up.

She concedes that he kept the treatment areas clean, but the living areas .... Later, when she first sees Darian's home in the new Vale, she can't believe at first that a single male lives there because it's so clean. (Darian does not score any aversion points, since the hertasi clean the place for him.)

Gavin's room is "extremely tidy" and his bed is made "with military precision." Zach's room is covered with discarded clothing (including socks "so encrusted with dirt that they were hardened into a piece of sculpture"), half-eaten food with mold and fungus colonies, and garbage everywhere "except in the garbage can."

Men Can't Keep House / int_261c8d3f	comment	Seen quite frequently on The Simpsons, where if Marge (and to some extent Lisa) aren't around to clean the house, Bart and Homer are very much not up to the task, and it goes to hell very quickly: In "Little Big Mom", Marge is recovering in the hospital, and Bart and Homer turn the place into a filthy sack in minutes. A dismayed Lisa tries to introduce some order and cleanliness, but with no success. She eventually tricks Bart and Homer into thinking the dirty conditions have given them leprosy, in an effort to convince them to clean up — again with no success. In "Bart After Dark", Marge and Lisa are away cleaning up an oil spill, and the house is so dirty that Bart and Homer are making "garbage angels" on the floor. Homer also happens to be wearing a grocery bag which he didn't even clear of groceries first. In "$pringfield, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling", Marge picks up a gambling addiction and neglects the housework, so Homer attempts to make breakfast — with a mixture of "cloves, Tom Collins mix, frozen pie crust..." He also has to help the kids with their homework, which included making a costume of Florida for Lisa (for a contest where the kids dressed up as different states) which was so lackluster that Principal Skinner declared that Lisa was one of only two kids who "obviously" made their costumes without their parents' help.note And the other was resident ditz Ralph Wiggum, whose costume amounted to his normal clothes with a piece of paper taped to it reading "Idaho". In "Marge in Chains", Marge is sent to prison for shoplifting, and the house becomes a pigsty within ten minutes. Everyone runs out of clean clothes because nobody knows how to do laundry (not even Lisa, apparently), and the family is forced to start wearing stuff from the attic like wedding dresses and Halloween costumes. Bart is sent to school with a sugar packet and peanut butter smeared on a playing card for lunch. In "D'oh Canada," Marge and Lisa find themselves legally trapped in Canada and unable to get home, where the rest of the family remains. They Skype Homer and Bart, and Marge commends them on how well they appear to be holding down the fort. A shot from inside the Simpsons' living room shows that they've in fact carefully roped off the area visible to the webcam, and every other inch of the room is covered in trash.

Later, the older sister advises her brother's fiancee that Danie would happily live in a shed, if it was nearby to a fifteen-a-side field and there was space outside to set up a braai to cook on.

Men Can't Keep House / int_468bebb0	comment	This has been implied as the norm in the Discworld City Watch, even after the introduction of female recruits. Mrs. Palm was noticably Squicked by the canteen in Feet of Clay, and Sam Vimes was clearly distressed in Thud!! when his wife Sybil actually washed the tea urn. On the other hand, Lord Downey was noticeably squicked by the Watch canteen as well (he's an Assassin, and they're known for their refinement), and the neatest character in the books is Stanley. It's probably just the Watch that can't keep house. The tea urn thing is probably one of those specifically British tropes which are not understood elsewhere. There are two schools of thought on such matters: one holds that teapots should be washed and kept clean in the same way as any other utensil, the other holds that teapots should never, ever, under any circumstances, be cleaned out, because the years-old internal encrustation of tea deposits improves the flavour of the tea. This is Serious Business in Britain because it is about tea. Sam Vimes is clearly of the latter school, while Sybil and Lord Downey are of the former, which is what would be expected given their class origins. Wizards, who are of course all male, view the activities of Unseen University's housekeeping staff as far more mysterious and impenetrable than magic, and are quite capable of injuring themselves if they try to pick up a feather duster. Apparently, there is a Housework Gene which they lack.

The main protagonist is described as a tidy boy, and his room (which acts as the main week schedule screen) reflects this; and when girls happen to visit his home (such as, for example, Miyuki in Dancing Summer Vacation), they remark his room's tidiness and are pleasantly surprised, telling him that, since it's a boy's room, they would have thought it would be messier.

It's even a plot point in one early episode when Penny has given Leonard a key to her place in case of emergencies; Sheldon considers her slovenly apartment in itself to be an emergency, steals the key, and sneaks in while she's asleep to clean and organize the place. While she later admits that it looks great, it's hard to blame her for being freaked out when she first wakes up.

His family's housekeeper Mrs. McIlvaine is always mildly irritated with him for the mess he makes of his room and for a while he has Drake Manor all to himself after his father is kidnapped. He's so busy with school and his work as Robin during this stretch that he barely has time to sleep let alone clean.

Men Can't Keep House / int_4fc4dc79	comment	The Sims 3 gives us a pre-made example with Dustin Langerak, who despite being a House Husband, doesn't clean the house and is actually a slob. Apparently his duties only extend to caring for and disciplining the kids. His son Parker is also a slob. It's ultimately averted, though, as his wife and sister-in-law also don't clean, so all the cleaning duties are left to daughter Kaylynn, who is a child. (Whether this trope is played straight or averted in the Sims series in general depends on the player, of course.)

Twilight/Loid Forger's apartment is as clean as an apartment inhabited by two adults and a child (and later a dog) can be expected to be. Loid is actually better at cooking than his "wife" Yor, and Anya reacts with horror when Yor says that she's cooking dinner that night. In the interview for Eden Academy, a sexist interviewer tries to bait them by implying that a husband doing "woman's work" must mean something is wrong with them. Yor is better at cleaning, though, as she'd need to be in order to be as good an assassin as she is.

When they decide who will cook and who will clean, the man rapidly offers to do the cooking, even though the only thing he can make is French toast. Indeed, when we see the kitchen the next morning, it's a mess. (To his credit, everyone declares his French toast to be the best they've ever had). Interestingly, this is averted in a later episode when she goes to his apartment and outright compliments him on how clean it is, genuinely impressed, having clearly expected his place to be a dump.

Played straight in a storyline where Alfred gets sick, from something in all that guano. While the sidekicks get the job of sterilizing the cave, it falls to Bruce to try to take care of his adoptive father — "try" being the important word. The Batman can't seem to make chicken soup even with a recipe to follow (and ends up having to order take-out). He's pretty good at the reading of bedtime stories, though. Played straight with Tim Drake who is occasionally slow to show up for his work as Robin because the non-incriminating bits of his costume, like the gloves and boots, end up in the piles of clothes on his floor and he has to dig through them all to find them. His family's housekeeper Mrs. McIlvaine is always mildly irritated with him for the mess he makes of his room and for a while he has Drake Manor all to himself after his father is kidnapped.

Men Can't Keep House / int_88b348e8	comment	Averted by just about every male character in Cardcaptor Sakura: Syaoran lives alone in the manga, but his apartment is absolutely immaculate. Even when a chapter becomes a Sick Episode for him. (In the anime, he has The Jeeves to take care of him and his apartment, though Syaoran is shown to be good at domestic work such as cooking and sewing.) Sakura's dad is a widower who nevertheless takes excellent care of his house and children while working as a university professor, and taught his son, Touya, everything he knows. The Kinomotos have a dry-erase board in the kitchen that keeps track of their schedules and chores, and the three of them seem to share cooking and cleaning fairly equally. The closest Touya gets to this trope is when he trades chores to Sakura in exchange for chaperoning her or mending her clothes, but in those cases, he's taking advantage of the fact that he's doing her a favor and those favors tend to be female-coded housekeeping skills anyway. Given that the title character is a young girl growing up in an all-male family after her mother's death, it would have been extremely easy to play into this trope, but CLAMP constantly reiterates that Sakura's father and brother both cook, clean, and sew, and do so very well. Eriol is also lauded for his cooking and sewing skills, even sewing a yukata for Nakuru, and Yamazaki is mentioned in passing to also be good at cooking and sewing. Yukito is also implied to be a competent housekeeper, since he lives alone, and even when Nakuru moves in with him in Clear Card, his home is still immaculate and she mentions them cooking together. He does say Touya is better at cooking than he is, however. Yuna D. Kaito from the Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card sequel is Akiho's butler and does all the household tasks. It's also inverted. Sakura and Akiho are both still learning various housekeeping skills, and often offer help to each other, with Sakura teaching Akiho a simple recipe for croquettes that her father and brother taught her, because she was too young to be deep-frying something with too much oil. Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko, is from an upperclass family who could afford to pay for housekeeping, was somewhat clumsy, and even the people who loved her the most say she was a terrible cook, with her cousin saying that the Valentine's chocolate she made couldn't be called good, even to be polite.

This is because Matt cares far more about playing video games than he does about cleaning. His roommate, Mello, doesn't seem to mind too much. Defied by Light Yagami. He keeps his room immaculately clean and has been doing so since junior high. In the live-action adaptation, he also does the cooking, though that seems to be because his mom is dead, his dad is away at work all the time, and his sister is terrible at it.

His apartment is in such bad shape it cannot be a recent development. Being augmented some time back gave him severe depression, which Adam can sympathize with.

Cut to Duckman having done exactly that, then passed out in front of the TV with the house now a filthy mess. Keep in mind that the period of time in which this happened couldn't have been more than a few hours. It's even worse in the episode "Married Alive" where Bernice is gone for a week, and the entire house turns into a city dump with Charles, Mambo, Ajax, and Grandmama being trapped in the garbage. An actual homeless man also moves in for the duration. Taken to its logical extreme in "Exile In Guyville", which combines this trope with Men Are Uncultured. The Battle of the Sexes escalates until the U.S segregates itself into two states, one for men and one for women. The men's civilization is essentially an even filthier Mad Max.

Men Can't Keep House / int_cd63e81d	comment	Zig-zagged in Ace Attorney: in the Phoenix Wright trilogy, Phoenix tries pretty hard to keep the office tidy so that potential clients would have a good impression should they come to his office, going so far as to be constantly cleaning an already spotless toilet. However, he stops paying attention to it after he gets disbarred, since clients wouldn't be coming anyway. Most of the mess that occurs after that is usually because Trucy buys Stage Magic paraphernalia and leaves it lying around.

Isadora comes downstairs to find Aaron making breakfast for her, but, in doing so, he has dirtied every dish in the kitchen, splattered batter on the windows, knocked a bin on to the floor, etc.

Men Can't Keep House / int_d9e1a051	comment	In Fruits Basket, Shigure and Yuki are unable to cook or do housework on their own, and they let Tohru stay with them in exchange for doing the cooking and cleaning. The entire house, and especially the kitchen, is described by Tohru as "a sea of decay/toxic jungle" until she cleans it; even once the rest of it is cleaned, Shigure's room remains a mess. Kyo is actually shown to at least know how to cook, however (though he mainly learned how out of necessity, since his adopted father is a Lethal Chef).

He cooks (better than Chiyo, she admits when he brings bento to school for his friends), and despite his place already looking immaculate, he immediately starts cleaning when he hears his editor is coming over. His editor is there for all of two minutes and doesn't even seem to notice.

He lives in what the family describes as a filthy hovel; although it's mostly not shown, probably to reduce loading time, there is a wheel of cheese in one room which is specifically said to have been in the same place for at least a year. Hawke can also make a comment when interacting with one spot in the main room, that "The house isn't going to clean itself, Uncle." Eventually Hawke and their mother move out, but visiting Gamlen in later acts shows that the house is still exactly the same.

Turns out the joke's on her; Jack's team sticks to the Navy standard procedure when it comes to care and maintenance. This means dusting, sweeping, and mopping the entire house before breakfast every day, inspecting and repairing anything slightly out of order daily, bathing twice weekly, and repainting the entire house once a week. Killick proves himself in the kitchen (of course, seeing as he's cooked his captain's meals three times a day for years), and Sophie's mother grudgingly admits he's probably better than her cook.

Men Can't Keep House / int_f6c05e8e	comment	On Friends, Monica & Rachel's apartment is generally portrayed as much more cleanly, well-stocked with food, and all around nicer than Chandler & Joey's apartment right across the hall, where much of the wall had to be plastered over after a game of "hammer darts", and the floor is considered an acceptable place to keep food you intend to eat later. This is mostly focused on Monica being a neurotic clean freak and Joey being a complete slob, though, with Chandler and Rachel mostly going along with however their current roommate likes to keep house. Inverted when Ross dates a beautiful woman whose apartment resembles an honest-to-goodness landfill, and he breaks up with her because getting intimate with her in the middle of that mess is just too gross.
