Man cave, Man room ??????

[hunter63]

Last couple of threads have mentioned a "Man Cave?" or "Man room?" by a couple of guys.

What is this, of which you speak?
This must be an age thing?

Back in the olden days, you had the garage/shop, basement shop, shed shop, and extreme cases and ultimate, Pole barn/Ag building.

All stuff, good and fun, is located there, has shelves, benches, safes, chairs, bar stools, TV/stereo, and a least a mini fridge, You Know STUFF!

So am I missing out of this "Man cave" or "man room"?
(Maybe room for more STUFF!)

Do tell!

All are "Man Caves" or "Mantuaries"

Look at this http://www.bing.com/search?setmkt=en-US&q=man+cave

My "Man cave" has always been a room where I was free to play with whatever hobby I was into at a particular time,, CB, Computers, guns, whatever,, some "Mantuaries" are quite elaborate and Built into new Home designs, some say The "Man Cave" will save a Marriage

I have my small workshop. All else is in the domain of "she who must be obeyed".

Ive always heard the term "the dog house".

I doubt if a man came up with that term.

Whoever came up with the term "lazy boy", came up with "man cave".

You gotta have a Mrs. on the premises first.
If not, then the whole place and everything in it is man/whatever--i.e. yours.
I think that's how it works.

I think the difference between our shops etc and the "Man Cave", is that the man cave is an isolated pocket in "her" domain" and has to be in the same "domestic shape" (no beer cans on the floor and no crumbs on the table). I prefer the seperation that my shop gives me, I sweep it up whenever the sawdust and beer cans get annoying or get in the way of a project. Besides, that is where she exiled me anyways

No, I think that it is just the opposite. The man room is more of a no-nagg zone where work can get done. I lost mine to the sewing machine so now I have to live in the garage.

Whats mine is hers; what's hers is hers. No man-cave.

Survival Kitty dominates my home.

Our household is also being run by a kitty.
We're just there to serve him and provide a lap.

I guessing this Man cave/man room is kinda a new term?
Maybe from the Miller "Man Law" commercials?

Anyway, I just figured that a real man doesn't have a man cave/man room, just seems like a HGTV, yuppie type term...........Then again if I can make it works for me...you know, sign me up!

Wel I my domain is the yard, the shed, the garage and a spare bedroom "the man room" I can watch what I want in there, I have all my guy posters etc in there. I can do whatever I want I want in there with no questions asked. However, when we move I will not have a room like this so I will have to use my 2 car garage instead.

a man cave is nothing more than a big kids fort. i started building a fort a few years ago in the woods behind the house. it's a place i go to unwind and fool with my "junk". i keep my traps, snowshoes and such there. in the winter i'll go back and start a fire and catch up on my reading.

here's a photo of the inside. i don't know if i'll ever be done. i have very little hard cash in my fort, mostly sweat equity.
