Man Cave!

Throughout history men have always created personal spaces where they retreat to be amongst friends. Lately, these places, called "man caves", has become a boom industry, with often more than $50,000 (£31,772) being spent on furnishing a single "cave".

Do you have a space in the house/garden shed where you can "have it your way" without the missus or kids cramping your style, I used to but it's since been invaded :mad:

.

Must start converting the garage.

Man Cave - what a title.:D

Yet contradictory, surely a man can be man wherever he wants? Retreating to a cave is not manly.

I used to. I had my own room with my books, guitars hanging on the walls, amps etc. But not anymore. Sucks.

zenno · 15-09-2011 3:12am

this guy caught me out in my home cave last week... pic included.

seanbmc · 15-09-2011 4:31am

Don't have one in the ma's house, but I would consider my bedroom to be my mancave or my room in college :cool:

I know a lad who has the garage converted into a home cinema/gaming room. It even has a fridge for snacks/beer.

stupidusername · 15-09-2011 8:16am

I dont have a man cave

qz · 15-09-2011 8:20am

The garage usually does the job, needs a mini fridge though.

Greentopia · 15-09-2011 8:34am

I can see why guys like their man caves but I think everyone should have a place they can go to to get away from it all-family, kids, work...

Virginia Woolf said a woman should have 'money and a room of one's own'.
Sounds good to me.

jester77 · 15-09-2011 8:35am

Yip, I have one... but for some reason a clothes horse mysteriously appears in there every so often :eek:

What a gang of pussies. "I pay the bills, my house. Go and iron my shirt woman!"

/hides behind the sofa until she calms down.

Since when were they called "Man Caves"?

Weren't they referred to as "Dens"?

problemchimp · 15-09-2011 8:53am

Work is my man cave, they won't follow me there the bastaards!

I had one on my old apartment. An entire room dedicated to videogames. Had everything from 8 bit consoles/machines right through up to the ps2 era. Even had space for my massive Steel Battalion controller to be set up. Wall full of videogames. Was trying to sort out moving my arcade machine in too.

It was the most awesome thing ever.

Then we moved

Similar, but didn't move - reproduced! On the plus side, now have a teepee inside house and a huge Duplo trainset! :cool:

mawk · 15-09-2011 9:30am

I read this first as "Do you have a space in the house/garden shed where you can "have your way" with the missus"

I was thinking what the fúck is wrong with your bedroom, and who or what invaded it?

But alas, no i don't have a man cave, unless you count my car, which seems to be the only time im ever alone - does my head in sometimes. I likes a bit of alone time, so i does. I need one of these caves!

Too.. Much.. Clutter..

W.Shakes-Beer · 15-09-2011 11:12am

Looking at some of those "man cave" shots make me belief house interiors would be so much more interesting and attractive if men were the driving design forces than women.

I seriously WANT some of those rooms

The sickening thing is how much space Americans have in their homes. Most of those caves are bigger than 2 bed apartments in Ireland. And while a few of those caves are clearly owned by millionaires, I would say the majority of them are owned by blue collar workers.

Oh yeah, American houses are simply huge. We would think that middle class guys are millionaires because to us their houses are mansions.

Man Cave!
