Your signature indicates you honeymooned in 2005.

Give it a few years.

So they can get away from the women who want to control and nitpick everything.

I love spending time with my wife too. Except when AFL, NFL, MLB, NHL, March Madness, Major golf events, or for that matter any other sporting event is on, I don't want someone sitting next to me asking me if I like this particular dress some wafer thin "model" is wearing.

BTW, when in the man cave it is ok to go back to the stone ages when talking with your wife...I just say to her, woman, go do some and leave me alone. Her response is usually something along the lines of, enjoy your man couch tonight.

One completely different thought is that it's nice when there is company. It never fails that the women and men seperate anyway. The men can go hide in the basement while the women are "hen partying" upstairs.

It is interesting, though: My wife and I share my "man cave". It isn't littered with beer cans (because that would disgust me); it's basically the room devoted to the HDTV and DD5.1 sound system, and wired for laptops and the printer. And she enjoys it as much as I do. :shrug:

I guess I'm just not feminine. I HATE floral print and our house is minimally decorated. I'm just not good at that kind of thing. Anyway, I have a woman cave and I'm sitting in it right now. It's my office and I love being here. All I need now is to bring a tv in here and life will be complete!

It's not that you're not feminine, you're just not a stereotype.

I'm not one, either.

We're moving next week and the former owner of this house is a single GUY. The entire HOUSE is a man cave!!! My son's eyes rolled back in his head. It's wired FOR EVERYTHING, has a purple office with built ins, speakers in the backyard, plasma hook ups in every room and a beer fridge in the garage...

Oh and did I mention the 7 foot tall wooden indian in the backyard? This house is a 16yo boys DREAM... and it's mine, too!

That sounds familiar at our house too. DH does a have a small mouth bass he caught 20+ yrs. ago on the wall though. We all enjoy the "man cave" in our house now. It has a fireplace that we use in the winter. It is a great space for DH to watch westerns, college football and sleep to a car race.

I'm not a floral person either. While my DH lets me do all the decorating, I hope he enjoys the house as much as I do.

He has a 3 car detached garage that he also enjoys. It is a man's dream garage!

Robin, does the tall Indian make you think of the carved Indian at WDW??

 

[Missy1961]

Why not? Everybody needs some space.

I WISH! This one is carved from a tree by (what I assume was) one of his drunk friends!

When we got married and went house shopping, our agreement was I got one room to do with as I pleased and she got the rest of the house to with as she pleased. Her stipulation was that the room had a door on it so she didn't have to see it.

Works for me as now I can shut her and my DD's out!

Needless to say, it's got my PC, Tv, Steelers/Penguins Bar, Big ol' recliner, fridge, army stuff, toys, etc....

I understand the desire for a cave, but I don't know why it has to be solely for men. Let's hear it for unisex finished basements!

I am a proud owner of a man cave. it has everything I need and then some.

Three TVs, two on cable so I can watch NASCAR and the local NFL/College games and one on DirecTV with the NFL season ticket. A large fridge full of beer, a chest and upright freezer, a pizza oven, large popcorn machine, 48 inch grill top and a full bar also a Xbox and ipod dock station for those non football boring months I'm forced to deal with.

The thing is I'm NEVER alone in the cave. My wife spends every night with me and our 20 year old daughter and several of her friends are there 3-4 times a week. It's just a fun place to hang out.

Cave rules are simple.
Anything you bring in the cave must have something to do with the Minnesota Vikings or the Boise State Broncos. Beer of any kind is welcome. The remotes are mine

Ooooh, I liiiike your cave!
Only we'd be watching the NY Giants if I DH had one like yours!

DH will be looking for a house next month, and this is like the #3 thing on the list. A basement large enough that we can have a his, hers, ours space. My scrap crap on one end, his games/toys on the other end and a space in the middle for a sofa, big screen and I'm thinking mini fridge/microwave.

Yup, us too. It is our "people cave." Same stuff as yours, with the addition of a games closet and a wine storage area. We love it!

I will admit that I don't know how to turn all of the movie theater equipment on, and I only let him stick up the Tom Brady fathead during playoffs.
