I simply can't get along with girlfriend who is slob.
I think both of friends should be slob or tidy, only in this case they can live together without conflicts, therefore I wish you to find appropriate mate.

Slob what it means really ?
Lazy,bad activity
Excellent pg!!!
if i have a slob girlfriend, i will guide her to be more organize. I said like that because beauty is not merely from the face, but also from ethics aspect. To be more beauty, some girl needs to change their attitude. Otherwise, i will judge by other people that a very bad boyfriend.
thanks alot..
