The term “man cave” tends to have a pretty pejorative meaning attached to it, as for every actually cool hangout space, there are a dozen dank, poorly lit basements with an ancient sofa. However, there are still dudes out there fighting the good fight and trying to make the place they live in be as nice as they can.

Man cave” is one of those terms that has probably existed since the stone age. Yes, humans generally didn’t live in caves, but one has to imagine there were a few early men who loved the idea of just hanging out with the boys under some rocks. These days, however, it often means a basement (hence “cave”) with an old sofa, the best TV he could find and often little else.

But that doesn’t mean it applies to everyone. Certainly, the age of social media has allowed the world to look into the barebones living spaces many single men prefer, normally a mattress, bare white walls and some sort of gaming station. While it’s pretty cost efficient, there is not that much going on.

However, there are still good reasons for a man to have his “cave.” Having a dedicated and mostly private place to fully explore his hobbies and interests is often healthy and preferred, as writer Sam Martin noted in a 2007 article, arguing that in most live-in relationships, the woman does most of the interior design.
