I was watching a video over at TED.com today and it was all about manspaces. If you don't know what a manspace is then go to this link (http://www.slybaldguys.com/serendipity/archives/248-The-world-of-manspaces.html) and watch the video I posted on the blog.
Basically a manspace is a man's hangout, dwelling, man cave, etc. How many of you have a manspace?
-
What you talking about? I AM THE KING OF MY HOUSE! MY WHOLE HOUSE IS MY MANSPACE.....when the wife is gone ..lol
-
You better not let your wife hear you say that Timmay. :*))
-
oh I am sure my views will get changed rather quickly.... lol

Interesting topic. I keep trying to create my man space, but it keeps getting invaded by all the women in my house. My wife complained, in our prior house, that I had my own space in my office and she didn't have such a space for herself. So, in our new house, we designated a spare bedroom as HER ROOM. Well, somehow she refuses to use HER ROOM and is constantly in my man space. Of course, she insists on "cleaning it up" when she visits, which results on my not being able to find anything.
My attempt to create a man space has failed, for now ... Between my wife, daughter, and the female cat, they're always invading my man space.

Andrew, you may have to build something outside or find a hidden manspace.

I have a library of sorts, everytime a get enough money to put in some book shelves, etc., the wife, the two daughters or our dog, a neutered female (Andrew, we seem to be living in parallel universes ;D), seem to have another use--so its standing bookcases, books in boxes, and a general mess--but the mess keeps my family out >:D
They only come in to print something on the desktop, and other than that it's mine.
-
Are you kidding me??? Have a wife, a daughter and even the oldest cat is a female!! Recently got a new male cat..so the scales are balancing! Sometimes I go stand in the tool department at Home Depot and in hale deeply for that real man fragrance!! :*)) :*)) :*))
-
This hilarious!! Any man with women in the house either doesn't have a man space or will lose it in relatively short order.....
-
THE WHOLE HOUSE !!!!
-
All-male household here. Even the two dogs.
-
My whole place is sorta a "manspace" but I guess my recording studio and my home theater are two of my main areas that would be considered my Manspace.
-
A friend of mine had a pretty cool manspace. He slowly transformed his shed into a very functional manspace. First, he added power. Then, he added a fridge. Then came the cable TV. He had a really nice house, but seemed to spend a lot of time in the shed. Whenever they had company, the women and kids would be in the house and all of the men would file out to the shed for beer, baseball, and swearing.
Hmmmm.... I just got a new shed ....
-
I was without a manspace for 18 years. Now the whole place is a manspace.

Agreed, even with double sinks in the bathroom, my wife migrates to mine. I've even done the experiment where I officially switch sides; she then migrates back to her former sink because it's mine.
-
LOL...Is manspace really real? I mean come on....we really do not have a place...unless we are single.

It's a little desk in a corner of our livingroom, where I can place my PC and find all the bills.......

-
My office or the golf course would qualify.
-
Yeah, I have a "manspace," It's the former single car garage that I've almost converted (It's at about 90%) to a woodworking shop. The down side is I can only enjoy it about 1/2 the year, because it's not heated :Xo!
-
I agree Mikekoz. I ry to create the manspace but living with three wemon in the house prevents that! I and the male cat are out numbered by 4 to 2
-
Well I guesss I did forget inside my Ford F150 with Hank Williams Jr, David Allen Coe or Colt Ford blarin through the speakers.
-
My wife and I met with an interior designer today, to get some curtains and shades made, and when I was telling the lady what kinds of things I like, she said "you need to get a mancave for those kinds of things." Funny, how she mentioned that when the whole man space thing has been I my mind ....
-
Something in me says "mancave" and "interior designer" don't mix at all. >:D
-
i started working on mine today. actually just cleaned the shed out. but thought maybe that would be a start. hell no, leslie HAD to try to organize, move stuff, etc. told her she could just have it. i went for a walk. damn, why can't they just leave some things alone?
-
Yep, got a man space here aka the spare bedroom.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here... ;)
-

They don't. She dismissed my idea of putting snow shoes on the wall over the fireplace as something that belongs in a mancave.

"She" they just don't understand--God love them. But she'll never, but never design a world class man cave, never.
-
I have a room that's mine... I need to find a woman to help me clean it up though! ???
-
No such luck at my house either. And I completely understand about the sinks! LOL
-
My car is my manspace. My wife won't get in my car...and that is just fine with me.

GREAT, she doesn't like mine, a Mini Cooper Convertible, either--maybe it's mine, except when we have to go somewhere like the Vieux Carre where mine is the easiest to park ;D
-
I have a man space complete with a coffee maker and a refer and a TV. It has a really comfortable chair. An aptly placed window allows me to receive advanced notice of predators. Entry is possible with advanced notice. Actually its more like my wife-and I's retreat. We go there when the house gets too full and the inquires to many.
-
As with one or two others here, I can say...from my skin, out to my four walls, to my yard to my fence. It's mine, mine, MINE!
But, hey, I have to admit that I share it with dust mites, and some mice, too.
-
Amen Ming! I'm lucky enough to have 10 acres of personal man space, including the abode, garage and pole building. Some are more manly than others, such as the garage with a wood burner to fight off the cold winters, 200 watt XM radio and keg-u-lator with Hurst T-grip tap handle complete with line locker button. Arrh, arrh, arrh

Now that's what I call a manspace ...

My grandfather had a manspace, a huge barn that had 8 rooms and housed his tractor, tools, the 4 or 5 skidoos he had at any time. Had a loft filled with hay with ship parts up there, a big lazy boy in one area to sleep in, wooden floors, the sweet smell of gas, diesel, oil and WD-40. I think for me at least that was the manliest man space I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
-
yeah, my crapper,lol. It's the only room I can smoke in. The Al Bundy special :*))
-
no special space here.
-
My home office is definitely my man-cave! (From which I've done 99.99% of posting on SBG since November 2006!!)
When my wife slips in there to get on the computer and I'm home, I REALLY don't know what to do with myself.
-
My manspace is called my apartment.
-
You get to keep a raccoon in your appartment? dude that's awesome O0 8)
-
i have three spaces, the old body shop that was here when we moved in, the wood working room in the basement and the newest is the old camper i picked up cheap and put in the back woods. in a house with wife and three little girls and female cat. its just me and the male dog. i need the hideing space.
-
My entire apartment, Craftsman tool box in my bedroom, chaps, bridles and branding irons on the walls of my living room. Except maybe the kids room, but I've kinda taken it over to an extent.
-
That would be my entire house!!
With the small exception of the downstairs bathroom, which my roommate (a girl) uses and her bedroom... so those are all girly.
The rest of the house... all mine!
-
I have my entire house and big liquor and wine store that I own - - - -enough space
-
Well, I have a vacent rental apartment upstairs, a two car garage and a basement to play in. I have no intention of renting the upstairs apartment and nobody goes near the garage so I have plenty of space to do whatever I want.

The coon belongs to someone else. He's an orphan that this (kinda crazy) lady takes care of. He's a cuddly little critter.
