Top 5 Things to Remove from Your Medicine Cabinet before A Date

Jamie Reidy offers his Top 5 things to keep out of sight in your bathroom.

Not that a woman would ever stoop to snooping or anything.

5.  PreparationH – Thinking about your raging hemorrhoids is not gonna get her in the mood.

4.  Beano – She doesn’t want to know you’ve got a gas problem that requires pharmacologic assistance.

3.  Propecia – No need to inform her you’re a bald man waiting to happen.

2. Lithium – Let her find out you’re crazy the natural way: by proving it.

1. Viagra – She wants you to take a multi-vitamin, but not Vitamin V.

What else should a guy hide?

  1. Porn, sex toys, lube… put all that stuff away before company comes over. Much worse than having prescription head meds in your medicine cabinet is to have your dirty wet towels laying all over the place. Let her find out you’re a slob the natural way, too!

    “No need to inform her you’re a bald man waiting to happen.”

    … Waiting to happen?

  3. Mike says:

    He shouldn’t hide anything, just be himself.

    Also, what part of bringing a woman home involves showing her your medicine cabinet? I don’t even have a medicine cabinet, am I doing something wrong?

    Copious amounts of eye/facial creams and grooming items make a woman feel like you might notice every imperfection hence create insecurity. Looking like a dude and having things like PreparationH dis totally fine. And who takes straight up Lithium anymore…it’s more like klonopin these days. Hide your adderall. It makes you look like a coke-head… and propecia is a clue that a small penis is waiting for you right outside the door. Viagra makes you look old. And gentlemen, please do get some lube and put it in your bedside drawer. And use it instead of spit, please. She will be more comfortable and the sex will last a lot longer.

    What things do you suggest a woman should remove from her medicine cabinet – in case of male snoopers? I may need advice in this area. On second thought…I guess not. At this point in my life, my attitude is: I am who I am – like me – or don’t. I know I”m far from perfect, but I’m pretty darn happy with me. Some day, some guy will realize this and be lucky to have me – flaws and all:)

    Throw out expired beverages in the refrigerator (green orange juice is never a good thing!)…

    Oh yeah, and flush the toilet, for g-d sakes!

    But, you’ve got the right idea! You are you and somebody is going to love you for that.
