Lol, yea my shop is my "man cave". Half of it anyway. The other half is where my wife likes to "save" such necessary items. as old school papers and never to be used again toys and such. My half smells like nitro solvent and gun oil and is nicely organized as my hiding spot from the real world.

Well, at my parents house my dad has the 'Man Room', where he keeps all of his hunting stuff. He also has a futon when my mom gets pissed, and a giant 'Arabian Nights' tapestry from Hungary and a jewish prayer rug on the walls... nobody quite knows why those things are there, considering he isn't Jewish, doesn't particularly like tapestries and it doesn't quite match the Camo clothing and hats hanging on the other walls My mom has what we affectionately call 'The Lesbian Room', which is a room painted all purple and has antiques in it. Nobody ever uses it, so we're not sure why it's there.

I don't have an SO, but I consider my bedroom a (woman) cave. I go in there when I need to escape from my cats LOL. They want to be with me 24/7 and sometimes I just need a break!

We bought our first house last August, and the basement had a built-in workbench. It's his man-cave now. I call it his lair. He's getting it all organized and it's SO hard for me to let him do it. I'm kind of control freaky that way, but I want him to have a place that's all his.

I sort of have one. When Mrs BP found this house she put an offer on it and told me there was a really neat back room with a slider that led to the deck and it would be perfect for my man cave- the TV, futon couch...

Then, when we were moving in I noticed her desk, her book cases, her piano was being placed in the room. When I protested I was informed my man cave was now her study, where she will write and play music.

Fast forward a few years and I now have a chair in a corner of the spare bedroom. [sigh] Well, at least it's mine.

I used to have an "office" as my cave, but the wife took it over with her sewing and costume making stuff. Then, when the baby arrived, it got even more crowded so now, my cave is the garage. I still want to do a lot to it, but "SHE" wont let me do what I want to do - gut it, insulate it, and turn it into Shaolin Temple California. So right now, its Shaolin Temple Light with all of her suitcases, costumes, videos and books from the "old Country".

I recommend a survey crew with orange tape to reevaluate your property line
