Irish - LOL! at frolicking through the tulips. And I agree, mostly.
Does this mean you don’t want Rosie to do a nice pillow for your man cave?

Bwahahahaha. Don’t even get me started on “Man” caves… the idea that a man is confined to the basement of his own house astonishes me, and makes me think that either he’s got a domineering bitch wife or he’s trying to relive his frat boy days by having a foozeball table and wearing his hat backwards while watching “the big game” in his basement. How about you live in…you know, the rest of the house…
yea I’m on a roll, but I’m going to sleep.

totally depends… i wouldn’t consider myself genetically suitable for basketball, but if i trained equally hard as a girl who was, yes i would probably be a better basketball player than her. If i trained as equally ard as a girl who was a long distance runner, i’d probably get my ass kicked[/quote]
LOL. No matter how hard you trained, there are women in the WNBA who would be much better than you. Hell, there would be girls at Rutgers better than you. I went to school there and a few of them would play with the guys during pick up games and they were better than most of the guys on the court (me included).

The term “man cave” makes me cringe. That’s what all of my girlfriend’s friends say when they see my basement.“Wow, nice man cave!”. I renovated half of the basement to be a 2nd living room and the other half is my home gym/laundry area. The point was to have a place where me and my friends can drink till 4am and be as loud as we want without waking her up. My living room is next to our bedroom and it was pretty inconsiderate to have 6 dudes over partying and keeping her up till 4am.

This made me uncomfortable. Not because it was a guy wearing makeup or talking about gender, that’s nothing new or shocking to me. It was because the girl that did his makeup was so awful. It left me questioning not his masculinity, but her femininity. How could you be that bad at putting on makeup and still call yourself a woman? lol
I’ve got one or two stories related to this topic that I’ll try to post up this afternoon. I’ll have to dig for the links and right now I have to go to work and pretend I’m a responsible adult.

What makes you so sure it was a women doing his makeup?

Irish are you married? I agree with Sam on this, some labels or terms suck. However the principal of the situation is not the fact that we are regulated or “sent” to one room in the house. It is the one room in the house we can actually enjoy a male activity and the rest of the house can continue with there lives.
The older I get the worse my hearing is, so having a room separate where I can turn it up loud and not wake people up is beneficial. Just like everything else in a successful marriage compromise of both parties is key.
And no I dont relive my frat boy days (was not in frat), wife is not a dom and my man cave is upstairs. Which I spend watching football with my father in law drinking iced tea cause he is on the wagon.

Like I said bad term, but the theory is sound, and mine is upstairs. So what is a better term? You are the man with the literary genius, I just fix people.

hah, just call it the fucking basement. When people say “You want to see my Man Cave” I immediately think “Man your wife must be a bitch.” True or not, I can’t help it.
If someone says, “I just finished the basement, come check it out” I think “OK.” Cause referring to it as a finished basement, as an assessor or your father might, makes one seem like more of an adult and less of a tool.
Just my two cents. But it’s worth four cause it’s from me.

I agree, HOWEVER I live in Texas if I had a basement it would mean I was going to bury them in the back yard we dont have basements. So what would be a better term to use for my upstairs room that has my recliners, 50 inch plasma, PS3 and football memorabilia on the wall? Not being a dick honestly asking for a better word.

Why does it seem that any talk of Gender Equality always falls back and puts the blame on males? He acts as if we all secretly want to be feminine and hide it by doing things that are “masculine” like playing football and lifting weights. He also says that he wants do that but also do yoga and “Take a paternity leave” (How would that even be possible?) This was a terrible video and the message was shallow and condescending.

Irish is right. Man cave is basement. Or garage. Or gym. Or workshop. Comfort food is also banned as silly. The proper term is home cooking, grandma’s house, soul food, or mom’s house.
There are to many of these silly new ways to say things that were taken care of years ago. This is from to many guys watching Oprah and such.

We’re on the same page then. I thought you were generally talking about an area of the house primarily set aside for the man of the house, not just the phrase. I hate all of these new sayings with the word “Man-” in front of it.

uh…who the fuck cares??? Do people even use these anymore? I know I’ve never taken one, and don’t know anyone who has. Who are IQ tests developed by? Are you familar with Richard Feynman, one of the fathers of particle physics and Nobel Prize winner? Well, he took an IQ test just for shits and giggles and his score was as average as they come.
Are you this insecure? That you need to constantly throw this useless stat around to imply you’re somehow superior intellectually? I really don’t get it, even if it’s 100% true…so what?
Can i add to the fun facts pile? Did you know there are an infinite times as many women as men who give childbirth?
