this is one of the r/malelivingspace posts of all time
I mean, with the pink looking underglow and black glitter looking duvet cover it does kinda give goth glam 😅
My real question is why the fuck it looks like the bed is just permanently blocking the closet lol
kinda reminds me of fnaf 4 ngl
I kind of thought it was one of those scratchy moving blankets dyed black
Bed a bedroom once where the only space to put the bed (a twin!) was with the head of the bed inside the closet.
Not relevant here, that bed could be moved, but reminded of it.
Pentagram above bed and it’s done.
I feel like that’s getting back to feminine witchy territory.
Okay fine, put a big masculine poster of a muscled up Satan with hot abs and cum gutters and pretend that’s straight.
Maybe some dumb bells in the corner.
Now you are talking
Add some dirty dishes on the floor. A bowl of spaghetti and an empty can of beer is a easy and masculine touch you can use
waifu pillow and film replica swords mounted to the wall
AROO, BROTHER, GET A MF’IN HOG IN THERE. CRANK THAT MF’ER ANY TIME A BROTHER STARTS THINKING UR FEMININE (not that there’s anything wrong with expressing femininity).
Paint the walls with Singularity Black. Cover up the colour of capitalization on human rights.
toss everything but the cat and the skull. everything you think of adding to the space, ask yourself ‘is this in service of the skull? is this in service of the cat?’
if neither, don’t add it. rinse & repeat until it looks like a Spirit Halloween to address the emptiness of the space (but know now, it won’t fix the emptiness of your soul)
Agreed. Cat and skull are doing all the heavy lifting here.
How do I make this more incel?
The way you decrease both the emptiness and femininity of this space is to get rid of all the retail mall goth shit, rev up the table saw and make some actual furniture.
If you’re committed to the black and red aesthetic go with ebonized white oak and glazed black cherry. I’d lean toward the American Craftsman/Mission style, stylish within practicality and built to last, and most importantly would look absolutely stupid in distressed chalk paint.
There’s a stereotype that men don’t understand bed frames, somebody already in this comment section has posted a bare air mattress on the floor. The other extreme is the fuckateria table on display in the original post. Looks like a futon mat on plywood? Go to a mattress store and buy something that isn’t marked down. As for a bed frame, simplicity is the order of the day. No footboard, if you go with a headboard make it functional. Should be low enough to sit down on, a bed you climb up on is college kid shit.
A taller dresser is more masculine, compared to a woman’s dressing table.
A simple rocking chair is surprisingly useful, serves as a dressing rack.
You’ll probably want three levels of lighting, mood lighting, reading lighting and cleaning lighting. Built-in overhead lights will serve as the latter.
Avoid any urge to set dress. This isn’t a film set, you don’t have to intentionally clutter tabletops and shelves with shit. Live a life and things to put there will happen to you. For the love of fuck don’t decorate with books you want people to think you read.
Ron Swanson, is that you?
Less empty = more thing
less fem = man thing
The obvious conclusion here, is a room brimming with dildos
Nothing manlier than being gay? HMMMMMM
I know several gay people WAY manlier than i. Myself being a cis hetro male.
Is that a loom in the corner lol
Bed frames are feminine, put that mattress on the floor. While your at it, get rid of the sheets, bare mattress it up.
Lighting is too fancy, fancy is feminine. Plain flickering bulb is what you want for ambiance.
YOU’RE*
How is it so hard to get right?
Spellibg, grammar and literacy are feminine
Needs a ghetto cricket too. If you don’t have one you can make one. Go get a smoke alarm and find the shittiest battery that powers it just enough to chirp
Perfect for zoom meetings
You want a bulb? Real men stub their toes in the dark.
Psssshhhh!!! I stub my toe in the daylight! I stub my toe when there isn’t even anything TO stub your toe on!
I’m just clumsy.
I think if it is that terrible bright white kind of bulb, it will be ok. 😉
8500K temp and CRI of ‘no’ - sounds right.
Chat: I added some CTB jells but I think there are some stray violet frequencies getting through.
Semicolon my dude
Semicolons are feminine
I don’t understand the bed frame. Is it a 2 inch mattress on a platform frame? You’re going to bang your shin on that so hard.
Also, the bed is blocking the closet doors because, I’m assuming… closets are for ladies?
You joke, but that was my setup for years
I bet you’re manly as fuck
Edit: also, what’s heroine like?
Heroine? Like a female superhero? I uh…I dunno man. We’ve already established that I am very manly.
Then again, Wonder Woman would be a heroine, and she’s probably more manly that emo ass Batman!
Waaaah!!! Waaaah!!! My parents died!
Both of Spidermans parents died. And his uncle ben. And you don’t see him being a little emo pussy.
Well, except in Spiderman 3. But we don’t talk about that one.
I’ll have you know, I hate your take on Batman
It’s accurate, but I’m still mad about it
That was my place in Florida. I think I even had the audacity to bring a girl there. IIRC we ended up back at her place.
You may not like it, but this is what building wealth and saving for early retirement looks like.
I’m picky. I need a fluffy blanket and a comforter on the air mattress to be fully comfy.
Chandelier is a bit feminine
sorry, those are my cursed glass daggers of illumination.
Oh, my mistake, very metal, not feminine.
Women hate overhead lighting. We decided at the meeting.
This is a hell of a way to discover I’m a women
I fully believe that; almost all of the women in my family vastly prefer table lamps. I inherited all 19 of my grandmother’s.
For the first forty years of my life, I could not understand people (including my mom) who disliked overhead lighting. Now, I would way rather fumble in the dark than have that stuff glaring at me (grudging exception if I am using a knife in the kitchen). It’s become a minor source of friction with my husband. I don’t understand what changed.
How can I make my wife hate overhead lighting?
I hate it more than sand
The most satisfactory setup seems to be great indirect and task lighting that is just as easy to turn on and off as the overhead. Requires lighting purchases and maybe installation, and maybe “smart” switches if there aren’t switched outlets or other readily accessible places for the controls, which is a barrier. As an intermediate step, a different colored (warmer white) and less bright bulb in the overhead can make it more tolerable.
That’s a true king’s bedroom
you may not like it, but this is what peak male interior design performance looks like
this but unironically
How did you get a picture of my 1st apartment bedroom?
Flock camera.
Giant moose bust
you have awakened something bad in me
Replace the white closet frame and doors with natural wood. Get rid of that skull. Replace it with a taxidermy black bear. Hang a sword above the closet doors. A really goofy looking one from the mall. Unmake the bed. Throw some Cheetos on the floor.
He has to be careful to not get a feminine sword like a rapier or a khopesh
You’re missing the pile of crusty socks.
Pile of crusty socks? This is an adult. There should just be a couple of rigid towels.
Only girls have giant skulls in their bedrooms. STFU!! And what’s with all that black & red? Are you a sissy or something? Real, manly men have daisies & paisley with pastel walls. MAN UP BITCH!!!
I honestly thought this was a girls room and I thought the text was trying to be edgy.
