Definitely, I agree with the above. And there are other changes, the ones
that involve someone finally realizing how much it takes to keep a house
running, are definitely attractive. Especially in contrast to either a guy
who lives with mom and always has lived with her or another woman to do
the housework, or in contrast to the "typical" bachelor apartment,
complete with bugs and stench. I have walked into these places. Ugh. 

It's not the possession itself that is attractive in this case; it's the 
responsibility and experience it represents.
