Have you ever gone back to a guy's place, eager to see more of him, just to be left completely dumbfounded?

We've all seen some weird things in a frat guy's apartment, like his 7-in-1 bottle of whatever in his shower. (Seven?? How many things can that clean??) And a fair share of unsavory moments with weird roommates, but there are some things that guys don't even wanna see in your own place, no matter how clean or not frat-guy you think it looks.

That shoe collection might wow your girlfriends, but when it comes to dating, a Carrie Bradshaw-worthy shoe closet won't earn you any bonus points, unless he is really into feet. And if you have a unique pet, all the more power to you, but maybe keep them out of the bedroom, or at least out of sight if a guy comes over.

What else caused these 7 guys to head for the door? Read on to find out what they had to say about their apartment dealbreakers.

4. Novelty toilet seat covers

"I'll put it to you this way — it was weird peeing in Spongebob's mouth. The whole bathroom was decorated like a kid's bathroom ... in a regular studio apartment. It was surreal and totally out of place." -Jason, 25

5. Used sanitary napkins

"It was just placed on top of an overflowing trash can. Not wrapped in toilet paper or anything, just chilling there on top. I never called her back." -Rob, 24

6. Ashtrays

"After seeing how many joints and cigarette butts were in the ashtrays that were all over her place, all I could smell on her was smoke."
-Terence, 26

7. Clothes from an ex

"Too many clothes belonging to exes or other guys. Are you still hooked on him? Or did you just bang that many guys?" -Christopher, 26

What are your apartment dealbreakers? Would any of these deter you from a guy? Can love really conquer all? Even your coffee table that you got under suspicious circumstances? There are so many questions.
