Welcome to the Man Cave !!!! RAWRRRRR!

To start, every Man Cave needs an old, comfy, BLACK leather couch.

The Man Cave couch is often more nostalgic than anything- it’s their first purchase as a bachelor, or something they inhereted from a relative in their glory days of college. The Man Cave couch has cracked leather and seats so cushioned you sink into the black hole for hours. The Man Cave couch has memories of ex-girlfriends, one night stands and long hours of Monday night football with the bros…..before they were all married.

A FLAT SCREEN TV

Whether it’s a flat screen TV, or some ridiculous monstrosity that takes up an entire wall, every Man Cave needs one of these. Notice this man in his Man Cave is not only playing Guitar Hero he is ALSO watching a football game. The best of both worlds in his eyes.

THE DREAM ENTERTAINMENT CENTER FOR THE MAN CAVE

Multiple televisions? Scrolling scores? YES.

Fridge Full 'O BEER

The Man Cave isn’t complete without beer. And a lot of it. There needs to be a go-to fridge for when the man has had a long day and needs to unwind with a cool brew. Usually, the man has a beer of choice; Corona, Pacifico, Coors Light, etc. and he sticks with that option….though, he may keep variations for his other man cave visitors.

The Pro-Gun Man Cave

……This man cave would not be allowed in my home. But, whatever floats your boat….

They're not DOLLS, they're ACTION FIGURES.

They’re also not going anywhere in my living room- DEMOTED to the MAN CAVE.

Tacky Lighting

Whether it’s a black light, a lava lamp, neon liquor signs, or christmas lights- every Man Cave likes t create a “vibe” that screams, Senior year in high school.

Notice the beer sign to the left......

This is most likely, one of many around The Man Cave.

Cooler as an ottoman.....

AND BUFFALO WINGS! Nothing like keeping your cool beer and snacks right below your feet. That means you don’t have to move, what are you anyway, a triathalete?!

Every man is a ROCK STAR in The Man Cave

All men, no matter their age, or occupation are ROCK STARS in their Man Caves. They let loose, they play cover tunes and bang on their sh**ty drums from high school, while their favorite band of the 80’s plays in the background. This where they master the art of air guitar and ripping off their shirts on cue.

Every Man Cave need something YOU DON'T WANT THE KIDS TO SEE

I.E. porn, SMOKING paraphernelia, pictures of you doing keg stands, your old school Playboys, lube, etc.

A Poker Set

AND, Poker Night. This is the evening when the men are given permission from the wifies to go and join their buddies for a long night of poker and beer playing. The evening starts off with a warning from wife that goes something like this, “Please don’t bet our vacation to Cabo like you did last time…..” Note: bad bets are made while intoxicated.

The Man Cave is host to many a Fantasy Football Draft

It's highly likely the Man Cave will have RACE CAR memorabilia

There’s something about DRIVING FAST that really gets men. They love it. They play the video games and attempt hitting 100 mph when on an open road….rev those engines!

OPTION: Make your Man Cave look like a tacky Euro DISCO!

Metallic, neon colors, chrome, disco ball? track lighting.

A putting green!!!

If you can’t make it out to the REAL green, just put one in your man cave.

STUPIDLY LARGE SPEAKERS

Random semi-creepy stuff mounted on the wall....

Foosball, pool, and/or a DARTBOARD.

Often this is the focal point of The Man Cave. Within an hour of arriving to The Man Cave there will be one game of darts played and an attempt to play a whole game of pool hitting each of the balls directly into the hole. The owner of The Man Cave usually holds the reigning title of FOOSBALL CHAMPION.

A SEVERE SPORTS THEME

Men need to live out their NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL etc. etc. fantastisies by plastering memorabilia, game schedules, posters, etc of their “favorite team.” There’s generally an overwhelming color scheme of whatever that team is and some sort of rare/odd piece of memorabilia like a bar of soap from one of the players locker rooms….or something along those lines.

AT LEAST one gaming device

….and by one I mean, several. Usually there is an old school gaming system and the newest, most up-to-date gaming system. Not to mention, all of the games! The Man Cave needs as much to distract them from their everyday life as possible. If that means playing HALO for four hours everyday then so be it. This is also where Guitar Hero tournaments go down.

Tools and something that "the man" has built himself

Every man with a Man Cave likes to get crafty with his hands. He likes to saw, drill, hammer, and all of those other handy Home Depot-esque things. Often he’ll start a project that fails miserable, i.e. redoing the bathroom and will anger his wife for months until it’s finished. Or he may stick to simplier ventures like building a shadow box to display his highschool jersey, or shelves for his growing collection of empty Jack Daniels bottles.

Photos of their "DREAM WOMAN"

This tends to be a former/current Sports Illustrated model, i.e. Petra Nemcova. AND yes, they ALWAYS know their names. They’ll usually have a few photos near the television so they can drift into sex-dreams with said woman during commercial breaks.

Stacks upon stacks of MAXIM magazines.

Not Playboy, simply because the wife doesn’t approve. Maxim is “classier.”

GOOD LUCK GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

If you’re single, go for it, if you aren’t GOOD LUCK. Unless of course your lady is participating.

ALL HAIL THE HELMET WALL!!!!

MODEL CARS, STRICTLY FOR CHILDREN, OR MAN CAVES.

CIGAR SMOKING

The Man Cave is home to men lighting up the cigars and smoking at least until the wife bangs on the door that she can smell the smoke. Bust out the Cubans and smoke up!

Only really special Man Caves get ARCADE GAMES!

The more old school, the better.

Not one recliner, BUT SEVERAL

Your Man Cave homies want to kick back too.

Depending on how large your EGO is, you could add a THRONE!

A variety of WEIGHTS

Every Man needs to be able to grunt and get BUFF in his Man Cave. RAWRRRRRRR!!!!
