Men And The Man Cave

For those men moving into a new home or rental unit, it’s important to get started on carving out a new man cave as soon as possible and maybe even before the first mover has shown up with the first box. After all, one of these man-specific rooms — hopefully complete with a home theater, big screen LCD or plasma TV and all the goodies — is practically a right nowadays, correct?

This can really be the case when one looks at the typical household today, which usually consists of a wife and at least two kids. It can quickly become evident that there probably won’t be too many places in the house that a man will be able to call his own personal space. This isn’t to complain about the situation but rather to point out the need for a little space on occasion for the man of the house.

And even if there wasn’t something like a cave before maybe the kids have finally moved out and gone to college or are out on their own and discovering how hard it is to get up on time and go to work, for example. Maybe there’s now a room that will make for a good cave. It might be full of stuff right now — for example, who needs four home space heaters? — But it will soon become the cave of a man’s dreams.

Or maybe there’s some space out in the now-empty garage area where the son and his band used to get together every weekend evening to drive the neighbors to distraction. It’s already carpeted and walled off so it’s just a matter of moving out the leftover band equipment like that Epiphone electric guitar and getting to work on finding a gonzo television set.

And this brings us to the point where we need to figure out what should be in one of these caves. The TV is the first thing in, of course, but that’s followed immediately by a really nice lounger. The TV should be, at minimum, 44 inches but the larger the better. And the lounger should be something that could give an aircraft carrier a run for its money.

Keep in mind that a really good cave features a home theater system that’s integrated with the TV. Maybe even a nice little refrigerator for drinks and a popcorn maker or some other sort of movie theater-specific piece of gear. If money’s needed to fund all of this extravagance, hold a garage sale and unload that alpine skiing equipment that was used a single time several years ago.

Certainly, no man out there is asking for a break when it comes to familial responsibilities, but almost every man these days is wondering how to go about carving out a new man cave when he’s able to do so. He can go in there and hibernate on occasion or just take a break to watch the weekend football game and have a little popcorn and some peace and quiet. What can be wrong with that?
