jimflorentine.com Jim talks about how Man Caves are for guys who let their Wives take over the whole house. Follow Jim @ / mrjimflorentine Riotcast Podcast Network - riotcast.com
I got a dart board and an autographed Brandon Graham football in my dining room. I don't want to go into a room and close the door with my guy friends. That's gay as fuck.
The funny thing about the Dan Marino jersey in a frame bit is that Jim actually once had a Dan Marino jersey in a frame in his apartment he shared with Jim Norton.
My biggest problem with a "man cave" is that they usually look like they were put together by a teenager who just throws a bunch of shit together that they think men like into one giant cliche. Big foam fingers, beer signs, dart board, video games...........its a teenagers fantasy of what it should be like grown up. Now I have been in the home of some people that i consider "real men". One was a decorated war veteran and his whole house had masculine shit in it. From pictures of him with politicians and platoons to fighter jets he flew. He had a leather chair next to the fireplace and a side table for his cigar box. He had a workshop in the garage. also parked in the garage was a 1960's classic car that he bought off the lot and 40 plus years later it still looked brand new. Another thing I noticed about almost every "real man" I've met and respected, is they all seem to have a well manicured yard. Maybe that is a generational thing and most of these men were older, but they all seemed to take pride in having a perfect lawn/garden. I take it as a metaphor for how they live, doing nothing half assed.
@DawkJones92 I also don't want to offend but would you agree that Autism is a form of disability? If so, then you understand it is a mental handicap of sorts that prevents a person from thinking and acting rationally and exhibiting social IQ. So, if you want to attribute the desire for a "man cave" to autism, then you already admit that it is something one would find appealing only if they had a mental shortcoming.
My house is my cave. All the rooms are mine. But I'm living temporarily separate from the wife because of work... Turns out it ain't that different than it would be with her here, except the paintings on the wall are my work. I have a cat and use scented candles. I use a tablecloth, keep fresh flowers around. I do not give a sh*t about sports, but watch documentaries. That's just me. No homo.
Watch men being dragged around those home decorating stores. They have this "if she buys one more thing, I'm going to kill myself" look on their faces. Men just have this "what is this sh!t" look on their faces. The only guys excited in the home decor stores are the gay decorator dudes.
I love Jim Florentine, so angry and he brings up a lot of interesting points. But take it for what it is....his opinion. Fellas, if you still want to have a man cave with all your bobble heads, posters, action figures, and video games, do it. Real men do whatever the hell they want, not because of what JF says.
My boyfriend and I were visiting my father and his family in CT. We were informed that we were to stay in his mancave in the entertainment center/basement. Expect my dad never had a normal childhood, it was very neglectful and the other damage he did to himself was extremely abusive, which damaged our relationship. I think he think this is normal. So whatever the opposite of what he didn't have is his sanctuary. I would like to point out he's also a Born Again Christan.
Lol.."Sit between your two friends, and pretend you're skiing"
This is better than a lot of my therapy appointments, to be honest.
if you really go to therapy...is it like in the movies? the long couch> kleenix box, the pen and pad, the "DR" leggs are crossed

This is the greatest thing I ever heard. I'm a woman and still think the man cave is the most pathetic thing a man could have
No actually a wife is the most pathetic thing a man could have.
David Hernandez tss tss fwwuuuck yeah homerun tss tss
David Hernandez Hahahahah god dam bro what a great line.
@@Azautographsandcollectibles Then why not date men then, if you don't like women.
@@Anastasia2048 He does...
Men marry their moms and their mancaves are just playrooms. Genius.

Many men in their 40's need to hear this!
This basically describes Tim Allen's character on Home Improvement. Was the ultimate stereotype of the man cave dude.
chaosdecides Yep. I like cats, scented candles, tablecloths and fresh flowers. Anybody who says that's gay can go F themselves.
chaosdecides hahaha right on great reference bro. Hahahaha
rationalguy Hahahaha
Respectfully disagree. Tim Allen's house looked normal, the basement was his kid's bedroom, and he had a hot rod in the garage he was building.
Tim was reminding us not to turn into obedient lap dogs for women, but obviously his message failed to reach most people

Remember when they were just called "The Den?" (or is that just a Midwestern thing)
Nope, my gramps had a Den in Massachusetts in the 70s.
The den was a room to smoke a pipe and sit in front of the fireplace and read a book.
I have a man cave. It's called my entire house
he gets so pissed.
"If my wife got Parkinson's tomorrow I'd have to leave her. I would take one last parting hand-job though." Holy shit!
Hit the nail on the head
I'm not sure what the issue is. My grandfather had a Den, grandma wasn't even allowed to knock on the door. It was like a fortress of solitude.
That's my Man-Chair...Cave. LOL
Someone once referred to these no natural light basement dungeons as
Gimp closets....
Time to let the Gimp outta the box!
Thanks, now I have the Notre Dame fight song stuck in my head
Jim is a man of logic and reason, thats why he is better off single
Watchin brilliant that metal show as i type...sat nite high...high n dry.....o the good ol dayz.

Luckily, he doesn't have to worry about a wife ruling anything in his house, now.
I love chip Florentine
Bill Burr has a playroom too
Every room is “my cave”. 😁
I've been advised that it is gay to have a sound room in which I go and relax in! Thanks Jim! lol
Spot fucking on. Man caves and 'man cards' are for eunuch's. Also I loved hearing about Chip's man cave hehe.
My wife has an AC/DC poster in the kitchen... she's taken over.. :(
How many times has Jim ruined something for someone?
"Oh no... im a little bitch!" 😂😂😂
I HATE THAT TERM MAN CAVE
The Yankees didn't play the Braves 98' though.
I guarantee this guy has a man cave, 100%.
Good thing you grasped the important points of the conversation
Bruh moment
Even though I do not plan to marry and have kids, I still would not have a man cave.

I know people who have a man cave but it's not called a man cave it's called "The place where I keep shit I don't want in the main house".
YES.

+1105grumpy hmmm... "born again Christian" you must mean... THERE'S the REAL problem.
I agree with most except some of the gaming part.
So I'm ok if I grow, make, build or repair stuff in a specific room?
“It’s gaaaayyyyyy”
Jim's gay voice is killing me 😂
eight dudes like to play wii on their golf
