CNN put out a call for readers to submit pictures of their man-caves, and what intrigued us most were the categories the pictures fell into. Are these really the basic elements for a stereotypically male-genedered space?


• Drinks
• Music
• Entertainment
• Sports
• Friends
• Technology
• Games
• Tools
See the gallery here. What would you add to the list?

Uh, images of scantily-clad or un-clad women?
Relationship books, kitties, Manolos, back issues of Cosmo, yarn for knitting projects. . . little by little their girlfriends are moving in.
⢠Tackiness
⢠Lack of style
⢠Lack of girlfriends due to lack of style
ugh. Nothing wrong with liking sports or beer but I wouldn't base my decor around it.
Super duper gross.
Leather/Vinyl
Motion Furniture (Recliners)
Cup Holders
Pine or Oak (You'd think those were the only two kinds of trees on the planet...)
Bar-B-Que
Anything with a Remote Control...
Yawn. Were are the urinal pix.
I have a woman cave. A 10' x10' room painted, dark brown w/ hardwood floors and super yummy brown zebra patterned area rug. The 42" plasma is positioned on the wall so I can watch tv on my couch from Weego home either sitting up or laying down and I am flanked by a large taxidermied piranha as well as an alligator head. Perhaps I should submit a picture and show the boys how it is really done.
real men have bat-caves
Male? Yes. But also heterosexual, please.
'cause gay men have taste :)
My husband's future man cave will be a home theater-type space (with extra-insulated walls) where he can yell at the Bucs, Red Sox, Orangemen and NY Rangers without upsetting the household or neighbors. (One called once during a Bucs rant, thinking he'd found a snake in the house.)
To plan your man cave -- or your SO's -- here are a few tips:
