Several months ago I meet a gal, and things seemed to get off to a good start. We go on a few dates, all is well. We plan on an evening at my place - dinner, chatting by the fire in the back yard. She goes to the restroom, and comes back with a look of...I'm not sure how to put it..mildly creeped out? Not in a "OMG, I'm dating an axe murderer!" kind of way, more of a "something odd is going on here" way.
She tells me she found it rather odd that my bathroom was clean, things are organized, no "reading material" by the toilet, nice towels on the rack, and worst of all, I have scented soaps at the sink (I normally buy Softsoap Black Raspberry and Vanilla).
In other words, it's the exact opposite of what she would expect of a guy's bathroom - dirty, messy, lava bar soap, etc. It was more of a woman's bathroom than a guy's bathroom. While she didn't specifically say it, I think she got the impression that perhaps I was lying when I said I was single, or that I recently broke up with someone (I told her that I've been single for a few years, and hadn't even been dating, which is the truth). Or perhaps she thought I was a metrosexual...I don't know, I never really got into the subject, and she wasn't much of a talker...I often felt I was forcing conversations like that (part of the several reasons we eventually went our separate ways).
I'll admit, it probably does seem a bit off, considering I am what many have said, a guy's guy, and I've been referred to as a redneck many times (which I don't argue, lol). But that said, would this bathroom thing be a turn off to women in general?
Obviously she doesn't deserve someone with your taste and style. Find someone who will appreciate you. These are her issues.
Is there something wrong with the fact that I use Egyptian Musk Body Oil, Crest White Strips Supreme, Rembrandt Intense Stain Removal and Whitening Toothpaste, Cholesterol Conditioner, Tea Tree, Shampoo, and goat's milk soap?

She didn't say it...you are assuming it. All she said was that it was "odd". So maybe she has only dated pigs in the past. She's moving up.

No, in fact I would EXPECT a clean and fresh bathroom. Nice smelling and clean towels. Who the hell wants to use a bathroom that is nasty? Yuck.
It's not that important, other things are, but if I'm going to nitpick, it depends on what the towels look like (basic or foo foo?) and what the soaps smell like, but, ideally, he would be a brute and have neither.
He didn't have them to clean. He said his mother had them in her bathroom and he thought that girls liked having them so he wanted to get some to make the future ladies he was planning on having over be comfortable, but then he was afraid it would make him look girly to already have them, so he asked. It was just a funny question.
