This man thought he had a clever plan: Intentionally mess up his apartment to “test” his girlfriend. If she cleaned up after him, he would know she was, in fact, good enough to marry.

Yes I deliberately messed my kitchen up I ain't the filthiest or untidy nigga. I did all this cause it was just a girlfriend test. Chill now

Next time y'all visiting ya mans house make damn sure y'all clean it up, they could be testing y'all if y'all qualify to be wifed one day. ❤

A quick glance through his Twitter feed shows that his kind of “wisdom” is pretty on brand.

Twitter, to say the least, was not thrilled with his advice on how to get “wifed.”
So she has to qualify as Wife material by cleaning after you 😑😂 pic.twitter.com/LdvtwFdoyd

You have failed at life and you don’t deserve a wife. 🖕🏼

First of all, how do u invite someone to ur home with it looking like this?? ESPECIALLY when it's their first time there. U basically just told her u dirty

(I'm ignoring the blatant misogyny because, I mean, it's just tired at this point)
So you were only going to marry her because she does the dishes and she cleans? So all you have to offer is a dirty house? She said I must tell you “KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE” and get a cleaner. She won’t be held to such filthy standards.What juvenile nonsense is this? 🙄.

But things only got worse for him (and funnier for the rest of us) when some hero showed the tweet to his girlfriend.

Which just goes to show that, for all the frustration and negativity it causes, Twitter can occasionally be a force for good.

As ridiculous as this man’s thinking may seem, it’s important to remember that he’s far from being alone in his feelings about a woman’s role in the world. In fact, only a few decades ago his “test” could have appeared unironically in many popular mainstream magazines. Although there’s still a lot of progress to be made, it’s nice to know that people, for the most part, don’t buy into this particular brand of bullshit anymore, and that men like this are left to clean up their own messes.
