Apparently treeswarper can't tell the difference between a garage, a barn, and a house. That doesn't surprise me. And she has no idea what "metrosexual" means, either, by the context of her usage. And how "manly" is this friend who craves kitchen appliances? Once again she shows that anyone who is even slightly different than her in any way is an object of derision.

It's not so much what is in the man cave but what is NOT in the man cave, that would be women, unless they are there for just a quick visit.

Chubbyhubby's "Dave Cave" has an old twin bed, a full keyboard system with recording equipment scattered around. A counter full of camera stuff. Old electronic things he gets at auction and is dismantling for their various parts so he can build his own C&C cutting machine. (don't know what that is, exactly, but he's building one) He has his main computer. He has an old mainframe looking thing with no innards. It's heated by a wood stove and circulating fan. There's a dog bed and toys for the Dave Dog (named Finnigan). I'm not allowed in the Dave Cave unless I've been invited or some emergency is happening. He, in turn, has very limited access to my Jen Den. He also has a shop, with a fridge and all sorts of tools. That's more of a shared space -- I go in there to grab tools when I need to, and my pruning gear is stored there.

My man cave is open to all genders. My GF hangs out in there fairly often, such as during the super bowl, when I was hogging up the living room (better TV, better speakers (cost $5,000 in 1992), and the only DVR box in the house). She also likes to work from home in there, due to the big desk and comfortable office chair. I do sometimes get a bit of a twinge when I go in there to talk with her, and she has Say Yes to the Dress (or similar) on the TV. It just feels wrong, somehow.

Q: How does a real man open his beer? A: He doesn't. It should be open when she hands it to him

I built my man cave, so I had a little more input than most. HD TV, nearby fridge, old comfortable furniture, so when you spill food your faithful companion (dog) has snacks. Dark carpeting to hide the dirt. 3 computers with duel LCD monitors, way too much radio gear, scanners-amateur. Lots a speakers with 8,000 mp3's to pick from. Bookshelves with way too many books. Several weather stations. Bird/Hummer feeders right outside the windows. Walls made of cedar covered with hiking/animal pictures. 100 year old rough cut beams. Woodstove to keep warm. Generator when the power goes out. Chainsaw near the door, with a pile of camping/hiking gear ready to go. Snowshoes, skis, poles,day packs, jackets, boots. Stick pins in the door holding up not so important things like bills. Jackalope on the wall watching the action. Antlers and deer skins on the wall. Ducks and various birds hanging/mounted. Many wooden animals, chickens, bears, moose. Covered BBQ area right outside the front door, so you can BBQ year round. Got to have that. Real men don't eat quiche..... Several roll aways stocked with tools. Many hooks, nails, rope to hold and dry my gear. You have a true man cave when you drive a 10 inch spike into the wall and not worry about getting into trouble.......
