In reading about the lives of history’s great men, one thing I’ve noticed is that many of them had a place they could go to be alone with their thoughts. Some of these men had a study where they would retreat to think, read, and write. Others had a garage or workshop where they would tinker and experiment. But what all these rooms had in common was their sheer manliness. They were man spaces, places a man could call his own.

Below we give you a look inside the man rooms of 14 famous men from history. Within these rooms they formulated ideas that would change the world, wrote books that remain classics, and revitalized the dynamic manliness that drove their success. While we all can’t have a Carnegie-esque study, perhaps you’ll find inspiration from these manly spaces to spruce up your own room or simply the push to find a place where you can get away from it all and in tune with your manliness.

Ernest Hemingway’s Writing Studio

The room where Papa wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls and Death in the Afternoon. Ernest Hemingway lived in this house in Key West, Florida for more than 10 years. Needing a place where he could drink a glass of scotch, smoke a cigar, and write about men being men, Hemingway turned the old carriage house on the property into his personal writing studio. The main features in the room are the Cuban cigar-maker’s chair and his Royal typewriter. Throughout the room, Hemingway placed mementos he collected from his manly adventures in Africa and Cuba.

Theodore Roosevelt’s Trophy Room

After Theodore Roosevelt’s Dakota cattle business failed, he came back East to New York and built a home in Oyster Bay, NY. He called his estate Sagamore Hill, and he lived there until he died (with a stint in the White House, of course). It was where Roosevelt would go to relax, romp in the woods, and revitalize his man spirit. The crowning manly jewel of the house was TR’s trophy room where he kept his collection of wild game he had hunted in Africa and throughout the American West. The room has a high ceiling and is filled with rich, dark Philippine camagon woodwork. A perfect place for the manliest president to read a book about adventure in the grasslands or to entertain guests and dignitaries.

Frederick Douglass’ Office

Frederick Douglass was a true self-made man. He escaped from slavery and through hard work and self-education, became a writer, publisher, speaker and fierce abolitionist. With the money he made from writing and speaking, Douglass bought a 14 bedroom house in Washington, D.C. that he called Cedar Hill. His office was lined with over 1,000 books on a wide variety of subjects, and his walls were adorned with portraits of people he admired like Susan B. Anthony and Wendell Phillips. Douglas would spend up to five hours a day reading and writing in his manly study. At his sturdy wooden desk he penned many of his inspiring speeches and his famous autobiography, The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.

Thomas Jefferson’s Study

The author of the Declaration of Independence also was a master architect. Jefferson designed the home that crowned his beautiful Monticello estate. Jefferson’s man space was his study where he’d read about, write about, and ponder liberty and other profound principles in solitude. The busts of great men served as muses for Jefferson. One of the unique aspects of Jefferson’s man space is how it’s connected to his bedroom. He placed his bed in an alcove in the wall between his study and room. That way Jefferson could roll right out of bed and start working or if he needed to take a power nap after hours of manly meditation and study, he could lie down for a respite.

Mark Twain’s Writing Hut

Mark Twain would often summer with his sister who lived in Elmira, New York. Needing a place where he could get some work done, Twain built himself a writing hut on his sister’s property. Free from distractions and inspired by the setting, Twain could write in peace and quiet. In this sanctuary of manliness, Twain wrote some of his most widely read and manly works: Life on the Mississippi, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

I love how Twain described his man space in an 1874 letter to William Dean Howells:

“It is the loveliest study you ever saw…octagonal with a peaked roof, each face filled with a spacious window…perched in complete isolation on the top of an elevation that commands leagues of valley and city and retreating ranges of distant blue hills. It is a cozy nest and just room in it for a sofa, table, and three or four chairs, and when the storms sweep down the remote valley and the lightning flashes behind the hills beyond and the rain beats upon the roof over my head—imagine the luxury of it.”

Henry David Thoreau’s Cabin

Tired of the distractions of modern living, Henry David Thoreau went to the woods to live a deliberate and simple life. He borrowed some land near a pond called Walden from friend Ralph Waldo Emerson and built himself a simple 10′x5′ shack. The inside was furnished with a bed, a table, a desk, and three chairs. That’s it. Total cost to build his man shack? $28.12. It was in this small hut in the woods that Thoreau would get the inspiration he needed to write his most famous work of Transcendental Philosophy, Walden, Or Life in the Woods. Thoreau’s rustic man-hut has inspired men for generations to tear out into the woods, build a shack with their own bare man hands, and start sucking the marrow out of life.

Thomas Edison’s Library

Many people argue that Thomas Edison’s greatest contribution to science and technology was his Invention Factory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. This series of brick buildings was the first industrial research and development laboratory and is the model for today’s corporate and government R&D labs. Nestled in the complex was Edison’s personal library. The focal point of the room is the roll top desk that Edison likely used to design cool stuff like the phonograph or Kinetoscope. Edison knew how to hustle and would often work for 24 hours (or more!) straight. He’d take catnaps in a cot that he set up in his library to recharge himself for more work.

John Muir’s Study

When John Muir wasn’t wandering through Yosemite and pondering the awe-inspiring power of nature, he lived with his wife in a 14-room mansion in Martinez, California that had been built in 1883 by his father-in-law. The Muirs occupied that home from 1890 until John’s death in 1914. This was the most fruitful time of Muir’s career, and much of his productivity took place within the walls of his study, which he called his “scribble den.” Seated at his simple wooden desk, Muir laid much of the foundation for the modern conservation movement, penning hundreds of passionate magazine and newspaper articles and writing books on the importance of preserving nature, mulling over how to save the Hetch Hetchy Valley from being dammed, pushing for the creation of National Parks and a Park Service, and taking care of work for his job as the first president of the Sierra Club.

Winston Churchill’s Art Studio

In addition to being a first-class statesman, Winston Churchill was a talented artist as well. The man loved to paint. He loved it so much that he built himself an art studio in his estate’s garden. When he felt the “Black Dog” of depression tailing him, he would retreat to his studio and keep the darkness away by putting brush to canvas.

Mark Twain’s Billiards Room

Mark Twain is so manly that two of his man rooms made the list. This billiards room took up the entire top floor of his three-story Hartford, CT house where he lived from 1871-1891. The room was off limits to Twain’s wife and kids and reserved for Twain and his male guests to shoot pool, smoke cigars, and imbibe spirits. Twain also used the room as a man retreat, a place to write and hide from the domestic chaos on the other floors of the house. Twain explained the reason this special man space was needed in his home:

“There ought to be a room in this house to swear in. It’s dangerous to have to repress an emotion like that…Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.”

The Wright Brothers’ Bicycle Shop

The garage or workshop is a favorite place for men to retreat to, drink a beer, and tinker on their car. The Wright brothers spent hours together in their bike shop fixing bikes and creating the first successful flying machine. Their shop actually changed locations several times, but what stayed the same was the industrial utility of the room and the solitude it offered them to ponder how to get man into the air.

Charles Darwin’s Study

Located in rural Kent, England, Charles Darwin’s Down House is where the famous scientist lived and worked for over 40 years. Inside the home, Darwin had a private study where he would write in solitude. Darwin was a morning person and felt he did his best work between the hours of 8 AM and 9:30 AM. It was in this room that Darwin wrote his landmark work, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Darwin lined his shelves not only with books but also with animal specimens he found while taking walks in the afternoons. I’m totally digging that spiral cane and bowler hat placed on the chair in the first picture.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Drafting Studio

Frank Lloyd Wright lived at his Oak Park, IL residence from 1889 until 1909. During these first two decades of his career, Wright developed his architectural practice and style, brainstorming ideas and drafting plans within the handsome home studio he designed himself. Under the octagonal hanging lights, Wright and his associates developed the Prairie style of architecture and designed 125 structures. The magnificent studio is certainly a worthy workplace for such a revered architect; a fellow architect said it offered “inspiration everywhere.”

Andrew Carnegie’s Study

Steele magnate Andrew Carnegie used some of his vast millions to build a 64-room mansion located on 5th Ave near Central Park in New York City. Among its 64 rooms were Carnegie’s private library and study where he would spend his mornings either alone or with his personal secretary. He used his library to receive applicants seeking a piece of his philanthropic treasure chest and his study to determine which ones would get funds. The rooms were decked out in typical Gilded Age furnishings- dark hand-carved wood, plush furniture, and decorative ceilings. Along the walls of both rooms were stenciled Carnegie’s favorite inspirational sayings like “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” It’s pretty amazing what sort of man room you can build when you’re the richest guy in the world.

John Muir’s Study

The Male-O-Drome: 15 Things Men Lose to Relationships

By The Manolith Team on September 29, 2009

While on the whole, relationships are universally recognized as a good thing, and strived for, there are certain drawbacks that must be equally recognized. The fact is that men literally live two different lives; there’s the single man, and then there is the committed man. Men are usually forced to go through both stages several times before finally settling into one or the other, but the two lifestyles are distinct. These 15 freedoms make up the basic framework of those things we lose when transitioning between the single life, and finally committing to that long sought-after relationship.

Games and Toys

Image Source

This one is especially painful, so much so that many men start weaning themselves off random gadgetry while still single in an attempt to minimize future losses. You like motorcycles? They’re too dangerous. You want six different gaming consoles? You’ll be lucky if she lets you keep just one. Toys are for boys, men spend their money on more sensible things, like Volvo’s and kitchen appliances.

Hanging Out With the Guys

Image Source

It can be heard echoing around the halls of many a tap-room: “Another good man gone.” When men are with women, they’re completely with them. There’s just no way out of it, in order to really cement a committed relationship, a man must spend time with his woman, and that time is generally the same time his friends want to hang out. When he does finally have time to hang out, his friends are either at work or sleeping for once. This is a sad fact of life. Get used to being the third wheel while your girl chats it up with her bff from work. Oh, and all the cosmo’s are on you too, so bring your wallet.

Your Work Focus

Image Source

One of the nice things about being single that gets noticed is success at work. If you’ve got no significant other to preoccupy yourself with, then you are able to completely pour yourself into your work, entirely without any negative consequences. Your bank account will swell and your boss will love you; your family and friends all see what a success you are, you’re the go-to guy at the company. Enter your love interest. Oh how quickly things change…

Keeping Your Own Schedule

Image Source

You haven’t had to follow somebody else’s schedule since you were in grade school, but that changes when you get yourself a girlfriend. It’s just not kosher to run around until three in the morning when she’s at home waiting for you, and skipping dinner won’t work either. Get used to a bit more structured schedule than what you’re used to.

No Drama, No Arguments

Image Source

The only arguments you might have single are probably with your best friend over which movie Monica Bellucci hottest in, or what beer tastes better. That’s not how life in a relationship is. There are fights all the time, and they’re usually over nothing.

Having Money

Image Source

This is a no-brainer. We may live in a modern society, but let’s face it, some things just don’t change. Men have more money when they’re single, it’s a fact, that’s all there is too it. Get a girlfriend, spend more money, a lot more. It’s up to you to decide how much is too much, but if you’re like most of us, that line gets crossed pretty regularly, and with a smile on your face.

Getting Lucky

Image Source

Even if you do manage to get some time out on the town with the guys every now and then, it just won’t be like it used to be. There will be text messages or phone calls, and you’ll have to return them. You won’t be anxious about the possibilities, because you already know how the night will end. You may not even be out that long, since keeping it responsible means keeping it down to just a couple of beers. Things just aren’t like they used to be anymore.

Random Travel on a Whim

Image Source

Feel like taking a few well-earned sick days this week and grabbing the cheapest discount round-trip flight out of here? That kind of spontaneity gets girls to notice you, but it doesn’t fly anymore when one of them becomes a permanent fixture in your life. The random road-trips, the hosteling in Europe, the weekends on your buddy’s couch in Denver, it all comes to an end when you share a bed.

Eating Whatever You Want

Image Source

Cold pizza for breakfast, three energy drinks by lunch, and a double cheese before you hit the bar may be an average Wednesday now, but that’s going to change. You’ll be lucky to keep coffee in your morning agenda, as you’ll be submitted to every form of tofu-laden, green tea enhanced torture that your new squeeze can come up with. The only burgers you may be seeing will be tofurkey. You could keep the good stuff if you rope a chick who appreciates the food men love, but she’s probably not going to fit in the size zero panties you want on your floor.

Decorating Your Own Place

Image Source

It’s become a goal of every woman to someday conquer and renovate a man cave, a phrase they’ve proliferated in their merciless quest to further Ikea’s dominance across the globe. The countless man-hours you’ve spent collecting the perfect eclectic mix of nonsense materials to give your place that touch of you will be stripped of all character and whitewashed into art deco oblivion the moment her toothbrush hits your sink.

Sleeping Whenever, and Wherever You Want

Image Source

You won’t have the luxury of passing out on any flat surface within sight anymore once a woman enters your life. You will be all but required to sleep with her, where she sleeps, when she sleeps, for as long as she sleeps. No more sleeping in, unless she wants to, and no more night-owling either. Nocturnal gamers rue the day they finally acquire a girlfriend, as those kinds of hours aren’t for respectable couples.

Interest in Physical Fitness

Image Source

You probably keep yourself in pretty good shape while single and on the prowl, since you kind of need to. Since being physically attractive is probably about 90% responsible for success in the dating game, it’s only natural that you attempt to keep yourself in check. Unfortunately, the first thing to go when you’ve got a girl is your physique. It’s tough to keep that will-power when she’s telling you that you’re cute with that double bacon cheeseburger and chocolate malt.

Drinking All Day

Image Source

Waking up at seven in the morning to a shot of bourbon is no longer an option when in a relationship. You can still drink, but the purpose behind that drinking is different now — it used to be in an overall attempt to get laid, and now it’s just part of socializing, and has a very low cap placed on it. Your drinking days are effectively over, unless you scored a lush, in which case you’re both going to end up in rehab.

Dressing Any Way You Want, and Still Getting Chicks to Flirt With You

Image Source

Mismatched argyle socks and ironic t-shirts with blazer combinations may get you results now, while you wander in and out of bars freely, but you’re in for a surprise if you think your new girlfriend is going to let you get away with that for long. Sure, she thought it was cute at first, but she’s not about to let you meet her parents dressed like that.

Picking Your Own Music, TV Shows, and Movies

Image Source

It’s one of those things that most men just don’t think about — until it’s too late. The music we listen to while driving those long trips out of town, the TV shows we watch every week, our favorite movies, they all fall victim. Your girlfriend will quickly gain control of the remote control, and she will always have her favorite song of the moment playing in the car. When the newest movie based on a comic you loved as a kid comes out this summer, you can wave to its poster while you’re dragged into the new Twilight installment by your loving other half.

chix = end-of-life
Natasha September 29, 2009 - 6:58 pm

Grow the fuck up. I’ve happily been in a relationship with my boyfriend for two years, and I’m not guilty of anything on this list. I love video and computer games just as much as he does, we often go out to see friends without each other, and I love drinking any time of the day, to name a few things!

Also, to the other commenter, if girls = end of life, then be happy being single for the rest of your days. Or gay.
lolwat September 30, 2009 - 6:44 am

lmfao @ natasha

of course the female will disagree, she’s getting everything her way.

the guy being miserable with a smile on his face to the girl is a happy relationship. you stupid female.
John September 30, 2009 - 6:49 am

Natashais bitching at the author, reinforcing his point. Women LOVE TO bitch at men. We know. That’s why we try to score with as many as possible before getting stuck with the one we’ll end up divorcing later. It’s lessons in life really…

And this isn’t about the girl’s opinion about entering a relationship so shut up.
joe jr September 30, 2009 - 6:58 am

Very interesting article. Guess it will make some men want to be single lol.

John Davis September 30, 2009 - 8:39 am

One thing to be observed is that recent studies show that the most successful entrepreneurs are usually married and have an average of 2 kids. Does that mean that if you are single, you’ll work for someone all your life? :)
noyes September 30, 2009 - 8:39 am

this should be renamed “15 things he-bitches lose to relationships”
bruce September 30, 2009 - 8:41 am

y’all need to grow some balls and/or get better women. stop being so lazy and dump your chick. then, find one that doesn’t ruin your life.

but, if you’re on the other side of things and tried way too hard to get a chick. sorry you wasted part of your life for nothing.
Just A Girl September 30, 2009 - 8:41 am

I’d tend to disagree with these statements. Yeah, I think it’s true that you’re going to change your schedule for youy guy/irl, but personally as the girl in my relationship I’m the big gamer(I’ve spent hours playing oblivion while my boyfriend goes and does something else), I hang out with my buddies, I like staying out late, and I have NO problem with my guy having a social life. Why would I want him to hang out with me all the time? I’ve got a career in mind and I can’t pursue it while hanging out whispering sweet nothings all the time.

My feeling is if you’ve gotten yourself into a relationship with a whiny, prissy type of girl you just haven’t found the right girl. I hope you all do, too. It seems like a pretty sorry state of affairs if everyone is in these kinds of relationships.
Sgt_Jake September 30, 2009 - 8:42 am

Regular nookie? Yes. It’s regular. It’s not frequent, and it’s not that wild-monkey-sex you used to get from those random girls you picked up at the bar, but it’s regular. Like a bowel movement.

This list made me cry a little bit inside. You bastards. Spot on. I miss that couch in Denver (for real), Independance Day and Braveheart on the weekends, and midnight game-fests. Off to sneak a drink.
Phaoloo September 30, 2009 - 8:42 am

Really like all the thoughts here.
Shaun September 30, 2009 - 8:42 am

Some yes and some no to varying degrees. For the sake of comedy it’s a classic list. Don’t forget that not all people fit into sitcom friendly stereotypes. That said, the drama and the schedule are a given. Welcome to loveland.
Janet September 30, 2009 - 8:43 am

I shouldn’t worry pet, with your out dated, misogynistic views I doubt you’ll be in danger of a proper relationship any time soon.
Jimmy September 30, 2009 - 8:43 am

Yeah that random travel stuff doesn’t go over anymore. Sure, she says it’s okay to take a 5 day jaunt to London on a whim, but I can see the fire ignite in her eyes. 5 minutes later I can see a tantrum brewing…So yup, no more of those!
Ria September 30, 2009 - 8:44 am

Lol.

Honestly, I think it depends on the person you are with. Obviously things will change but not necessarily for the worse. If you are dating a woman with serious self-confidence issues then it is more likely that you will find yourself being her trophy when with her friends or always broke and fighting. I’m not going to lie, I think high maintenance woman should eat shit.

Today’s society is about being independent, no matter if you are man or woman. If your relationship ends up like this, then you should either be single or find a woman who is on your level of awesomeness.

Things have definitely changed for me in my relationship. My man doesn’t like the club scene, but I do. In an effort to compromise I go out to the movies instead or to a local bar with him and friends. He has a love for MMOs so I put some time into that now as well. I like museums and art, so he takes me to those places when he can. Most importantly, we split all costs down the middle like rent and utilities. We even take turns to cook for each other, sometimes cooking means take-out or McDonalds. Lol.

My advice: find yourself someone you can work with, not yield to. Or just worry about yourself and thats it.
Dewey September 30, 2009 - 8:44 am

Miss Cellania September 30, 2009 - 8:53 am

Looks like you haven’t found the right woman yet. No need to give up what’s important to you. I don’t mind my husband eating leftover pizza while the rest of us have homemade lasagna. He can stay fit if he wants to. He controls the TV and has his mancave. He can keep his own schedule (he’s asleep right now). And he can get lucky any time he wants …with me!
evo1 September 30, 2009 - 9:06 am

….been married 6 years and laughed heartily on this one. some points were kind of sophomoric, but most of them were true…especially, the one about your place being decorated with art deco, or in my case, art novueau. luckily, my wife lets me travel whimsically (for surf) and let’s me have guys only nightd and drinking binges if i’d like.

it comes down to shedding your selfishness while not losing your individuality; and it takes compromise in a healthy relationship.
Jay September 30, 2009 - 9:08 am

This list is probably highly accurate if you are picking women for their “size zero panties” and nothing else. Yes, if your idea of a relationship is basically a long term prostitution agreement with a girl who is slightly out of your league (and knows it) you are in for all of this and more. Why don’t you find a girl you actually love, who will actually love you back? Sure, you can’t avoid the drama, and the getting lucky is probably off the table, but if you are with a woman who actually values you for you, she will compromise on a lot of this stuff. Just stand up for yourself and keep your balls.
SoontoBeDivorcedDude September 30, 2009 - 9:10 am

@Bats

I’d check REAL close for an adams apple and the hormone therapy bottles. :)

I gotta say a lot of things ring true here. Except the size zero panties..
The Girlfriend September 30, 2009 - 9:11 am

I have to agree with the girls who posted…my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 8 years and he’s never missed anything on this list. He still stays up all night playing games, still goes out to see his buddies without me, still crashes on their couches and goes on trips without me. And I don’t think I’ve ever even suggested he eat tofu. When movies like “Inglorious Basterds” come out I’m just as excited to see them as he is and we hardly ever disagree on music since we’re both metal fans. I play Warcraft with him, I don’t make him watch “girl” movies, I rarely ask him to dress any differently than he would on his own, and he goes to the gym almost every day. And for the first 7 years of our relationship I paid for almost everything…he’s only just now begun to pay when we go out, now that he graduated and has a job with Oracle…which I’m not ruining either. And I may not fit in a size 0, but my ass J-Lo-esque and isn’t meant for anything smaller than a 4 anyway (I wear a 6 and eat more pizza than he does, if you really need to know). While I know there are girls out there who have done each and every one of those things to a guy, I have to assert that not all girls are that way. Hang in there boys…there are girls out there who will love you and Halo and beer, and will have sex with you at least once a week. Douchebags who like to pretend the women they so desperately want are actually the devil, however, will sadly be lonely for quite some time, I’m afraid.
Anonymouse September 30, 2009 - 9:11 am

I dunno, maybe it’s more that you guys ended out with shitty girls. Mine hasn’t really done any of these things to me…in fact.

-I have more game consoles and computers than before I was with her. Something that she personally has added to.

-She has actually MADE me hang out with my guy friends ‘you really shouldn’t ignore them you know, what if we ever broke up?’

-My work focus has always been shit, it’s better now because I need to be successful for her.

-I’ve never had my own schedule, ever.

-There is always drama and arguments, bring up religion or ‘how awesome Obama is/George W. was’ around your friends and see what happens. Or shit, make a statement about which game console is superior.

-I got a job since being with her, I have more money. Also she makes money too.

-She has actually suggested that if I have the opportunity to get lucky that I take advantage of it, and I have. She was more interested to know if there was anything the girl did that she could do to make our sex lives better.

-I’ve traveled more since I met her than ever before in my life, she loves to travel.

-She eats what she wants already and has actually exposed me to a number of things that I had never tried before.

-I have my decorations, she has hers, they’ve kinda merged but we both have our own spaces.

-I hate sleeping, I can do that when I’m dead.

-I never worked out a day in my life before I was with her, SHE is the reason that I’m as fit as I am today.

-What kind of a waste of life drinks all day to begin with? Fuck you.

-Good fucking god, you know you can always CHANGE your clothes before you go out.

-This, this I somewhat agree with, I never watched a reality show until I was with her but if I’m not watching that I’m watching ESPN or the news anyway so whatever that’s fine. Compromise is good.

tl;dr Those of you agreeing with a joke article are just admitting what shitty taste you have in women. Enjoy your settling for imperfection and future divorce/depression.

sweetbearies September 30, 2009 - 9:23 am

Hey I am a woman and I see the attraction of remaining single. There is nothing compelling enough that makes me want to get married, so I can respect men who want to be single and enjoy their life. I may not enjoy the above activities, but I relish having lots of free time myself!

so true :(
Daniel September 30, 2009 - 9:27 am

LOL! Almost everything is correct…

But… My girlfriend loves to play game with me.

She organizes all my room, she prepares to me anything that i want to eat and anytime.

And the rest… i think is all true, but the price is equal, or better to be with her, so…

Nice article :D
Pete September 30, 2009 - 9:30 am

I call bullshit. If men have lost any of these things from a relationship, then you should add your balls to the list too.
Sirsowk September 30, 2009 - 9:36 am

Another classic debate of “Which comes first – chicken or egg?”

The writer is entitled to write whatever he wants and his reason can be anything. In our society today, compromising is not a trend and break up/divorce rate is increasing every year. Why is that? You tell me.
Erich September 30, 2009 - 9:36 am

I can only confirm this list. Sure, it might take some time, but after a few years, every single item on this list is gone.
Amy September 30, 2009 - 9:39 am

This article is complete bullshit. It relies on tired old stereotypes of both men and women that only exist in Vince Vaughn flicks. Whoever wrote it needs to grow up and come out of their post college hangover. College wasn’t like this (who could drink all day and eat pizza for breakfast while ALSO being successful in the workplace and keep in shape?), so stop lusting over the good old days that never even happened in the first place…

Anyone who agrees with this is probably under the age of 20 and a virgin…. Or an insufferable douche bag who will live his life in solitude and end it by his own hand…. Just saying.

to tell you the truth, the only thing on this list that i can recognize with is the phone-calls when out with your friends. any of the others come up it’s tough shit. if your that controlling then f**k you.

This article reminded me of all that I miss. Single life is the way. Best advice ever. Entrepreneurs are usually married with kids because that’s what makes them want to put in all the work to be successful. To get the hell out of the house.

I completely agree with this article my bf has changed exactly to fit my needs, but from what he tells me he’s a lot happier this way. He fits my every need and want and I give him comfort, love, and most importantly to a man, good sex. so in our eyes it’s a win win situation.

If your a giant puss. this happens toyou.. If you actually have a relationship and not just a thing where you listen to your other all day, then you guys compromise. In all of my relationships, we made compromises.

Main point is, if this is happening to you. Your not in a relationship, your in a dictatorship.

    My ex/ roommate (yes, you read that right) wears jorts. I absolutely hate jorts, but he can actually pull them off. Or perhaps I just care about him enough to look past the atrocity and see the charm. If you knew him, you probably wouldn’t even notice when he wears them.
    
    All of these are kinda dumb, yes they could make or break it for some guys, (or if a guy did ALL of these at once) but it really depends on the guy.

I DO have a job most men would like to have ….. i know because, almost everyday, more than just a few tell me so!

I work freelance (my own boss, my own descisions!)as a guitar tech for many different major metal and hard-rock bands. I hang with rock stars all day, sleep in late – even on work days, make great money , travel the world, and have several, WILLING AND READY! women around me at backstage or overnight parties so frequently … it gets almost boring sometimes.

You can keep all those jobs listed in this article … sorry, they just DON’T compare.

What you guys seem to forget is that after a while, its a job just like any other, no matter how great it sounds…. you get calloused to it.

Do you have any idea how often I hear about how I have the greatest job in the world? Minimum a few times a week.

What do I do?

I am a bouncer at a large, famous, and extremely popular strip club. I meet celebrities and sports players regularly, oh, and did I mention we have about 150 girls that work there? That’s 300 very perky bare titties that rub against me on a regular basis! Did I mention we’re a full-nude club? No wussy topless-only stuff! And no, we don’t hire anything and everything here, if a girl’s not at least an 8.5 out of 10, she can work somewhere else. We have a lot of girls that are without a doubt Playboy magazine quality.

BUT

Remember I said it becomes just a job after a while? There are low points, too..

-Dealing with drunken idiots

-Cleaning up broken glass and puke

-Idiots pulling knives, guns, etc. because you threw ‘em out

-Dealing with police because you removed someone who wouldn’t leave willingly, now because you dragged them out and embarrassed them they want to charge you with assault, even if you didn’t hurt them in the slightest (even if you really really wanted to)

-abusive drunken club owner for a boss

So you see, its not all just T & A. We put up with a lot of shit in our job. And I’m sure MOST perfect sounding jobs are like that.

2 Joe Proctor July 28, 2010 at 12:57 am: I like this article and this site.

However the use of the word man (or bro) as a prefix is very annoying.

Man space

man cave

man love

man whatever

It’s very lame, and it needs to be stopped.
3 Emmanuel Grant July 28, 2010 at 1:01 am: cool story!!! makes me want to have my own man room… thx for the great post!!!
4 Brett McKay July 28, 2010 at 1:13 am: Other things that are lame and need to be stopped: getting hung up on things like the use of the word man.

When there are things that cannot be described using existing language, then new language is invented to fill the void. What else to call these rooms? “Rooms” alone is non-descriptive and vague. Manly rooms doesn’t adequately cover it-that could describe a room that simply had manly qualities but was used by both genders. Rooms-used-only-by-a-man would be a mouthful and still not get to the heart of it. These are special things-so we’ll use a special term to describe them. I’m afraid you’ll just have to avert your eyes.
5 Dan the Man July 28, 2010 at 1:55 am: Awesome post Brett! One of my all time AoM favorites.

And great comment-”man rooms” is most fitting and appropriate.
6 Jonathan Brook July 28, 2010 at 2:47 am: Brett,

I have been a member of the Art of Manliness for a while now and I have to say it goes from strength to strength. I must commend you on your articles over the past few months. This article was awesome!!! Every MAN needs a MAN space (sorry Joe Proctor, but this sight is about MANliness so the over use of the word MAN should be excused). Whether it is a shed, a study or just a spot where we can relax and watch the football in peace.

I also want to thank you Brett for putting me on to The Rise Of Theodore Roosevelt.

Cheers.
7 Mungo July 28, 2010 at 6:02 am: 15. Rudyard Kipling’s library at Bateman’s, East Sussex, England.

8 Jesse July 28, 2010 at 7:46 am: Agreed. Excellent list and naysayers be damned. The additional recommendations are awesome as well. Kipling definitely deserves to be on there.
9 Mike Kenny July 28, 2010 at 7:58 am: Interesting piece and much worth commenting on. Myself, I’ll leave any ‘manliy’ debate to the punters as the irrepressable smart-ass in me has only one observation to make; Twain couldn’t play worth shit. Bonus points if you can tell me why. Here’s a hint; leave the cue ball tight to the left rail.
10 Tyler July 28, 2010 at 9:24 am: WHAT?!?!? No Elvis’ downstairs basement? The TCB Electric Yellow/Black Man Room was home to the one of our Greatest contributors to our country’s culture. Kind of makes you wonder how many fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches were put away down there!
11 Rob July 28, 2010 at 9:34 am: Great article!

My father is just getting finished with his Magum Opus, The Garage in his backyard. He’s a sports car racer in his spare time and the whole family has built it over the last year and a half. It’s 2 stories of apocalypse-resistant manliness bolted into the California dirt. 18 inch thick 1100 sq.ft. concrete slab poured by me and my brother, full bathroom, HVAC for the car lift, full garage door, media center, and a door for the dog. It’s taken him about 2 years to make while running the family business, mostly just waiting for the permits. He plans on using it to spec up the 240Z Datsun to get the lap records in SCCA E class for the local tracks. My mother let him do this on the condition that he put in another bathroom and a den in the house proper (only 1 story, unlike the garage). She won’t go near the thing.

This, my friends, is not a man cave, its a man cavern.

-Rob
12 Ben Cave July 28, 2010 at 10:24 am: An excellent and fascinating article. I will be buying a house in the next year with my fiancee, luckily for me, she already knows the utmost importance it is for me to have my own room (apart from the typical garage/workshop, which also has its own importance in a similar vein). I look forward to being able to adorn my own man room with “artifacts” of my, my father’s, and my grandfather’s lives.
13 Hugo Stiglitz July 28, 2010 at 10:51 am: It would be interesting to see the rooms of some readers of this site or some other prominent living men. I like getting a balance of old and modern lessons and examples of manliness. I love this site, but sometimes I get a little “Teddy Roosevelted” out.
14 Bryan July 28, 2010 at 11:07 am: You might extend this to the realm of the fictional, as well. While some might prefer the Batcave, surely the best man room ever is Professor Higgins’ library from the film ‘My Fair Lady’.
15 gst July 28, 2010 at 11:59 am: WFB’s converted garage office was pretty awesome.

16 JC July 28, 2010 at 12:01 pm: Perhaps, in an evolved state of manliness, you should give a nod to Virginia Woolf and her essay “A Room of One’s Own.” Any (wo)man needs a space to retreat and be alone with their thoughts as a foundation to greater endeavors. Growing up, my Dad had a separate study. My mom had a small built in desk in the kitchen. If anything, “woman space” is a much more rare commodity than a “man space.”
17 Sam July 28, 2010 at 12:21 pm: Where’s Sherlock Holmes’ office? Is it because he didn’t really exist? Pssssh, you can still visit 221B Baker St. in London. Check out the Jeremy Brett episodes and tell me you don’t want to ponder there.
