See I'm a firm believer in cleaning up after yourself, but if you don't tidy things up, that's ok (especially as I don't usually tidy my things up). For instance, I'll leave my laptop, mouse and power cables sprawled across my couch when I've been lying there, but dirty cups and dishes go in the dish washer and dirty clothes go in the laundry basket. Not-really-dirty-clothes (like jackets, or jeans you've worn once) are totally fine to live on the floor, but you run the risk of them being stepped all over so it's best to fold them and pop them over a chair or something. Some girls need you to be tidy and clean, some girls (like me) just require you to be clean.
I'm not sure how well I'm explaining my distinctions between clean and tidy, but here's one final example.
Mouldy shower = needs to be cleaned!
Towel on the floor = meh, I'm sure one of us will pick it up when we do laundry.

Sidetracked slightly from the thread.... Showers are a pain to keep "clean & tidy" so what do you find best?? lots of those so called easy spray and wipe are not flash... currently I have been using dish washing powder (the stuff you put in your dishwasher... ) makes it all nice and sparking although doesn't work super great on the walls... being the fact that it bounces off them Love to hear lazy alternatives

I'm not sure this is the best possible way to get it done, but it seems to work.

AW ladies would absolutely love me because I'm always tidying up about the house and at work. Wiping counters down, things like that.

Right now, if a woman came into my house, she's probably be disgusted at my tidiness level, but if she cleaned the place up to where she was happy with it, I'd strive to maintain that level as I would know that is what she expects the house to look like, and I 'd want to make her happy. I've found that it doesn't take much tidiness to keep me satisfied, but I'm a guy, so I think that's typical. On the other hand, a woman wants everything to be in it's place, so once I found out what that place was, I'd make sure I placed it there.
