marketing of masculinity

I think I'd have some sort of migraine if I had to sit in a little shed full of lacy doilies and frilly curtains and 1 billion cushions.

it's almost like a little doll house... where... you become the doll.

and again, the man caves are even dumber, but I think that point's been belabored a bit more than these projects.

i hope the ladies making these little pinterestscapes are just using them to get high in

otm and otm. they don't even look comfortable!

there's a weird facebook group that has a specific title like "tiny house owners for hillary 2016" that I read for way too long the other day

hold me closer, tiny house owner

amazing

tbh i really loved the "she shed she shed" puns

She shed baby, it's understood.

She sells she sheds by the Etsy Store.

how come someone hasn't noticed that i'm dead and decided to bury me?

Unlike the Marin County group, the International Ultra Manly Book Club is not big on the dinner-party element. When one of its members does bring food to one of the monthly get-togethers, it tends to be “manly — like, spicy,” said John Creagar, 32, one of the regulars.

Hey, look, a non-shitty Jezebel post!

(Seriously, it's really good.)

Footnote: John Boehner did not cry in public because he is a vulnerable and sensitive guy, but because he is maudlin.

ime old men who tear up at things usually do so at things they have no idea how to relate to the emotions they're having and something leaks through their grizzled (or orange) exteriors

crying as indulgence mentioned in article

damn, that is good!

Ben Lerer has been running his company Thrillist for the past decade -- and he’s only 34. He and his college friend started it as a niche newsletter for men. It’s has since evolved into a lifestyle media company that informs guys about where to drink, eat and shop in 40 cities around the world.

What's the most important company we've never heard of?

Important is a weird word. My favorite? Have you heard of Casper, the mattress company? Maybe.

perfect

I feel like Thrillist is not doing a great job marketing masculinity because I'm sure I've looked at tons of things on that site and had no idea it was meant to be for "guys"

Like I feel like it's the place you end up if you're in the airport and you google where should I eat in this airport

that is very evocative of a mood with some limitations

What about your job most excites you?

My coworkers. They rock. It's really fun to have a ton of super smart people all swimming in the same direction and focused on solving the same big problems.

I don't wanna freak you guys out but I'm pretty sure the bearded dude in the front is the "so not gonna happen" guy

not sure if it counts as "marketing", but i wasn't sure where else to put it

i can't quite decide if that's aimed at teenage boys or not.

forgot "dick" rmde

That "dude diary" cover has a dinosaur and a bug on it and "open in a well-ventilated area" is a fart joke. it is definitely aimed at 11 and 12-year old boys.

"whack"

that book is custom made for absentee aunts panicking on the night before their nephew's tenth birthday

this was posted by someone else on another thread, seems relevant.

surely the "Pipe Carving Kit" is intentionally funny?

Whether he’s talking to a hand-carved pipe or a small child, there’s no prouder words in a man’s vocabulary than, “I made you.” Sure, he could commission a custom pipe to his exact specifications--and after that, he could pay another man to change his oil and tell him who to vote for...

I guess there are two types of men:

jerky lovers
and
retro gamers

which man are you?

Troutdoorsman?????

and why do the include a cro bar with the wooden crate. any MANly MAN would have his own cro bar stored right there by the mailbox.

the greek playwright mancretes

um mancrates

I think you mean so, crates?
