this is one of the r/malelivingspace posts of all time
Get rid of the easel. Real men don’t paint pretty pictures.
The torturing rack in the corner really ties the room together
Just get one queen size.
What this guy needs is obviously a second giant skull.
Yes, but also many more skulls of all sizes, just strewn around the place, he’ll also need more shelves and things to put all the new skulls on them.
Well this guy is definitely trying hard to keep his closet closed, figuratively and physically
Obviously needs more skulls
Add some dildos to the place. Nothing is more manly than thick, juicy dicks. It’s sure to be a conversation-starter, too!
“I didn’t know you could harvest cucumbers indoors!”
Is this idiot put the bed against the cupboard so he can’t get access?
Extreme manliness demands sacrifices
yes he was
Headboard
Less empty = more thing
less fem = man thing
The obvious conclusion here, is a room brimming with dildos
Nothing manlier than being gay? HMMMMMM
I know several gay people WAY manlier than i. Myself being a cis hetro male.
Only girls have giant skulls in their bedrooms. STFU!! And what’s with all that black & red? Are you a sissy or something? Real, manly men have daisies & paisley with pastel walls. MAN UP BITCH!!!
I honestly thought this was a girls room and I thought the text was trying to be edgy.
Giant moose bust
you have awakened something bad in me
Bed frames are feminine, put that mattress on the floor. While your at it, get rid of the sheets, bare mattress it up.
Lighting is too fancy, fancy is feminine. Plain flickering bulb is what you want for ambiance.
you may not like it, but this is what peak male interior design performance looks like
Chandelier is a bit feminine
sorry, those are my cursed glass daggers of illumination.
Oh, my mistake, very metal, not feminine.
Women hate overhead lighting. We decided at the meeting.
This is a hell of a way to discover I’m a women
I fully believe that; almost all of the women in my family vastly prefer table lamps. I inherited all 19 of my grandmother’s.
How did you get a picture of my 1st apartment bedroom?
Flock camera.
I’m picky. I need a fluffy blanket and a comforter on the air mattress to be fully comfy.
YOU’RE*
How is it so hard to get right?
Spellibg, grammar and literacy are feminine
Semicolon my dude
Semicolons are feminine
You want a bulb? Real men stub their toes in the dark.
Psssshhhh!!! I stub my toe in the daylight! I stub my toe when there isn’t even anything TO stub your toe on!
I’m just clumsy.
I think if it is that terrible bright white kind of bulb, it will be ok. 😉
8500K temp and CRI of ‘no’ - sounds right.
I don’t understand the bed frame. Is it a 2 inch mattress on a platform frame? You’re going to bang your shin on that so hard.
Also, the bed is blocking the closet doors because, I’m assuming… closets are for ladies?
You joke, but that was my setup for years
That was my place in Florida. I think I even had the audacity to bring a girl there. IIRC we ended up back at her place.
I bet you’re manly as fuck
Edit: also, what’s heroine like?
Heroine? Like a female superhero? I uh…I dunno man. We’ve already established that I am very manly.
Then again, Wonder Woman would be a heroine, and she’s probably more manly that emo ass Batman!
Waaaah!!! Waaaah!!! My parents died!
Both of Spidermans parents died. And his uncle ben. And you don’t see him being a little emo pussy.
Well, except in Spiderman 3. But we don’t talk about that one.
I’ll have you know, I hate your take on Batman
It’s accurate, but I’m still mad about it
Leave it as is and land a banging goth chick
Replace the white closet frame and doors with natural wood. Get rid of that skull. Replace it with a taxidermy black bear. Hang a sword above the closet doors. A really goofy looking one from the mall. Unmake the bed. Throw some Cheetos on the floor.
The way you decrease both the emptiness and femininity of this space is to get rid of all the retail mall goth shit, rev up the table saw and make some actual furniture.
If you’re committed to the black and red aesthetic go with ebonized white oak and glazed black cherry. I’d lean toward the American Craftsman/Mission style, stylish within practicality and built to last, and most importantly would look absolutely stupid in distressed chalk paint.
There’s a stereotype that men don’t understand bed frames, somebody already in this comment section has posted a bare air mattress on the floor. The other extreme is the fuckateria table on display in the original post. Looks like a futon mat on plywood? Go to a mattress store and buy something that isn’t marked down. As for a bed frame, simplicity is the order of the day. No footboard, if you go with a headboard make it functional. Should be low enough to sit down on, a bed you climb up on is college kid shit.
A taller dresser is more masculine, compared to a woman’s dressing table.
A simple rocking chair is surprisingly useful, serves as a dressing rack.
You’ll probably want three levels of lighting, mood lighting, reading lighting and cleaning lighting. Built-in overhead lights will serve as the latter.
Avoid any urge to set dress. This isn’t a film set, you don’t have to intentionally clutter tabletops and shelves with shit. Live a life and things to put there will happen to you. For the love of fuck don’t decorate with books you want people to think you read.
Ron Swanson, is that you?
