I was married and owned a house. I had an office, a bar, a garage, and a theater room in the home. I decorated most of it myself. My former wife often suggested things, which I would certainly consider. But ultimately I made the call because I was the one doing the labor. I spend a lot of time in the garage working on my hobbies and projects. Is it my “Man Cave?” Not really. Though I know when I am out there no one is going to bother me. I think it is because everything in a garage is work to women. But if any man is relegated to one spot in a house he pays for, it’s time to re-assert oneself.

[…] I’m not a playboy. I don’t have the patience or passion to go out and try and bed hundreds of women for sport. That doesn’t mean the rules of the Red Pill can’t help me. In fact, they’ve helped me a lot, for which I’m grateful, because I refuse to end up a man in the garage. […]

My dad’s out in the garage a lot, but that’s because it’s where he keeps the table saw, bench grinder, and all his air and auto tools, and there hasn’t been a single day in my life I remember that he wasn’t working on something around the house. He’s done all of the electrical, plumbing, tiling, crown molding, etc. in our house. Everything.

But the whole house in my dad’s space. My mom has dinner ready for him every night, cuts his hair, and makes his lunch for work every day. He loves my mom, and my mom respects him.

I never thought about that until I started reading stuff here. My dad’s been a much more positive influence in my life than I realized. I always thought it was strange when I’d see some of my friend’s dads who seemed pussy whipped, when the idea of my dad coming home and my mom not having dinner ready for him was unimaginable.

Growing up blue-pill, I always thought my dad was harsh. He would never get up to get anything for himself after he was on the couch and watching TV when he came home from work. He would tell my mom to bring him anything and everything he needed. If she was upstairs he’d yell to her and she’d come down. She’s always done it without question.

I brought that up with him a few times and asked him why he didn’t get himself, and he just looked at me and said, “Hey, if your mother wants to work full time and pay for everything in this house and be the sole provider for the family, I’ll get it myself. But that’s not how it is, and I just got home from work, and I’m tired. She’s going to get that for me, and I’m going to relax.”

My mom’s bitched to him a few times about him being impatient and he came right back with the same thing he told me, and that was the end of that every single time.

Come to think of it, they’ve been married for 34 years and have had no major problems that I remember. They’d argue here and there like anybody would but I don’t remember anything serious even once. I could never in a million years imagine my parents getting divorced, especially not my mom leaving my dad for another guy.

They love each other, and that’s very clear, but the one thing I never really noticed is how my dad doesn’t put up with anything from her — and she’s tried a lot of times — and it’s the same with other people. It’s not being a jerk; my dad’s just very aware of his value and never allows anyone to undercut him, take advantage of him or try to de-value him. With his relationship with my mom it’s seemed to work out really well.

My husband’s man cave (horrible term – I agree, it’s disrespectful to men) is our entire house, but he is the master of the house, and that’s how we both like it. He’s never shown any interest in the garage. We both feel sorry for men we see in their garages on cold and rainy Sunday afternoons. Perhaps the garage is a blessed relief from the dragon indoors?

What if the “Play room” with bar, pool table, big screen, Bose-speaker stereo setup, etc is something you both planned, worked on and created as a place for the two of you to host your private “party for two” two Saturday nights a month? :-D We have a futon down there too and plenty of pillows, toys and other distractions once the music and hanging by the pool table have gotten us too horny to focus. I even have a special set of “pool shootin’ outfits” (slut wear) that he really likes and has “approved” for our weekend parties. Maybe the “man cave” can be fun if it’s really about the MAN (his girl is certainly a part of that, no?)
