    The concept of a 'man cave' is not a man's creation. It was concocted in the vapid broth of The View or some other 'women, doin' ih fo' theyselves' type drek vehicle.

    Most normal men would call it a room or the spare room.

    Man Cave, what a total load of codswallop.

    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

    They just look like tacky American pubs. :confused:

    Women... what? How did women come up with the idea of men having their own playrooms?

    Because men would call it the spare room and then put their stuff in said room. Man Cave, get back in yer box, Whoopi Goldberg.

    It is not just a man thing, everyone needs a place they can go to have "me time". The more people you live with in terms of partner(s) or Child(ren) the more one needs this and I highly recommend it.

    As much as I love my girlfriends I find I have been investing myself in quite a lot of DIY projects or varying degrees of pure insanity in order to have my "me time" away from them but for many simple having a games room with an XBox or reading the paper on the toilet for an hour is enough.

    Yeah, but trying to fit a 42" TV & console or invite a bunch of friends round for a game of poker in there could get awkward.

    yeah, a cave should at the minimum have a recliner, a 50inch plasma tv, a bar, a poker table and a pool table

    After reading a bit of this tread I started getting excited and very imaginative mind you, about what I could do with my 10x12 shed..then I clicked the link, utter utter depression, sadness and wtf have I done with my life kicked in. So it's back to my own man cave, the toilet under the stairs. *weep's like a child

    I dont get it, a lot of those spaces dont even fit some of the basic requirements of a "Man space":

    This isnt even indoors?!

    But i have to say, some take the CAVE part of it and make it something special:

    I have a man cave for hifi purposes, and I spent stupid amounts of money on stuff for it back in the glory days. I hardly ever set foot in it now. It taunts me.

    My fantasy house will contain a massive basement complete with micro-brewery and bar, with obligatory flatscreen TV of course.

    This will no doubt have to be offset with a designer kitchen and walk-in wardrobe for herself.

    We can share the gym in the attic.

    Is this what the modern western man has to look forward to now? Relegated to tinker away with your train sets in some shed while your wife has the whole house to do with as she wishes? I hope I'm never in a marriage like that.

    Some of the places in the first link look like the interior of a nightclub.
    Makes me think the guys who designed them really should become designers who build entire houses. Coming home to an entire house with that kind of slick colour scheme etc woulc be sweeet.

    Totally agree. And those spaces are childish and sh!t. Imagine having to spend your recreation time in one. Hate that.

    The solution is your own house with wires and cables and speakers and things all over it everywhere you please!

    Keep herself happy by dedicating one room in the house to haveing a sink, dishwasher, washing machine, cooker etc to cook and clean in.

    I have a man cave. Although it is referred to as the lair. It has everything I want except for a bar. I have sky plus, xbox, big tv, bench press and weights, two recliners, a view to the wilderness, a fireplace and a nice speaker system.

    I feel very lucky to have it and probable would go mad without it.
