Why do you guys retreat to your cave?
It's brotherhood why else. Don't women have sisterhood?
Sure but if im in my cave, then I'm in my cave.
Sister hood, my bros whomever can't get me out.
And if someone can get me out of it, then that means anyone could get me out.
and what does brotherhood offer that female friends or significant others can't provide.
Security. Bros always got your back and stick up for you and it's easier to talk a topic with your best friends. I don't want to hear about someone shopping at a mall and which shoes look good on them, or do these jeans make me look fat.
I always wanted my own man cave.
What could be better than a fridge full of beer, a pool table, fully stocked bar, neon signs, big screen TV and all the "frat style " decorations. Decorations could either be in animal print or camouflague, I wouldn't care as long as it's one or the other.
Does that make me weird?

Women will have your back to and we don't always talk about the mall or shoes or our fatness at least I don't.
That's sexist lol

Not all women got your back. Your friends don't cheat on you and steal your money and ask for a diamond ring. Lol.

Not necessarily.
If I'm out doing stuff with the Virgo, including womanly stuff like clothes/shoes/household goods shopping...I'm usually rewarded for it later.

I bet you are! 😉
can men have anything without a woman wanting it too? jfc
but quick to reject the idea of coming from our ribs lol.
Maybe some examples.....
"Wow, what a nice Cohiba. Bet it smokes great. Oh wait, she hates the smell of cigar smoke and claims she can detect it from the next state. Time to check out in the Man Cave."
"This is going to be the best Super bowl matchup ever. But every time the game is on, she decides to dust and vacuum. Time to retreat to the Man Cave."
"The guys gave me this nice swimsuit calendar. If she sees it I'll never hear the end of it, or it will even end up missing. I'll go put this in the Man Cave."
"I need to read up on this mechanic's manual for that vintage GTO I want to restore. She sees me reading it, and that's when she decides to talk about her girlfriends relationship problems with that druggie loser, even though we've been through this 100 times. I'll pour through it in the Man Cave"

The only thing id agree with is the cigar. Cause I'd watch the Super Bowl, I love vintage cars and I'm not threatened by celebrities lol

This is old news.
In fact, I think this is where the term "Man Cave" originated.
Peace* 🙂

It's hard to vent about women, to the women that are giving you the need to vent. Sometimes you just need to talk things out to sympathetic ear. Women tend to take women's sides. Sometimes you just wanna vent. Like when women have "girls night."

What I've always wondered is why you men retreat to your "cave" when upset, worried and or busy with something.
But yet you'll come out of your cave for your "boys" but not your significant other or women.
