Inside Man, we need to talk. Guys won't gladly accept crap because it has a stick or ball scrawled on it.

William Morris designed extremely baddass, complex, saturated color masculine wallpaper in the late 19th century. Is that work really trumped by some goofy tennis graphic unfit to wrap a gag gift?

The Skulls design is pretty worthy, 'tho. Maybe we just need to drink this out.

I like the books and I'm a lady, but my walls look like that anyway withOUT wallpaper

The gender stereotyping of "Inside Man" is starting to get me down. In my ideal world, the only things that are legitimately designed differently based on gender are certain bathroom fixtures.

I wish I had a dick.

yah I'm down on the "inside man" genre as well. it's masculine but it isn't just for men! not all women love flowers and white walls and fluff.

really loving the skulls wallpaper. it almost looks flocked.

oh the skull paper _is_ flocked. fabulous!

Seriously if you don't like the inside man posts then don't read them.

dmstudio, I'm all for the "if you don't like it, don't look" remedy when prejudice spoils a viewer's objectivity, but in the case of The Inside Man posts don't blame us. This tired masculinity as expressed through themes of sports, beer, death and grunge idea is insulting.

I don't find this the least bit insulting and I am at least realistic enough to realize we do not live in a gender neutral world. It doesn't mean something that might be described a masculine can't appeal to anyone.

i would dump a guy if i gt to his place and there was book wall paper.
If there was skull wallpaper he'd have to be really good downtown, then maybe i'd keep him.

I'd already planned on trying out the skull wallpaper.

But I'm a girl. ;)

It seems to me that these posts are written by women for women about what a man might like. The posts have a false feeling about them which makes Inside Man feel forced. I figured if anyone could do a "man" section right it would be Apartment Therapy.

There are plenty of men who have design sense. I am sure that some of these men are even able to write. Maybe bring some of these men on board. I am not saying that only men can write for men but I would say that you would not have a masculine male write about a toile bedroom.

Overall I applaud the thought but the execution is lacking. I hope that there will be a permanent place for Inside Man in Apartment Therapy as there are very few design sites geared towards men. (zero come to mind) I just hope that it is done correctly.

Men's wallpaper has to be Xtreme, apparently.

Pathetic selections.
I'm a man and wouldn't be caught dead with most any of these in my home.

The whimsical wallpaper makes this room so unique.

Jeez, can't you people just appreciate this for being a design article? Who says a man can't have a toile bedroom? Give me a break.
