Cool Idea: Man Shack
One of the big reveal moments in I Love You, Man is when Sydney (Jason Segel) shows Peter (Paul Rudd) his man shack. Decked out in leather furniture, a big screen television, Rush albums, and a wall of instruments, it truly is a dude paradise.

10 Masculine Bedrooms
A guy friend of mine recently mentioned that he was on the hunt for bedroom furniture, and that he'd had his eye on some bedroom sets. Naturally, I had a strong reaction to this. I find bedroom sets, or furniture sets in general, to be sacrilegious.

If that's the case, then I present you with a testosterone-friendly option: the Cotswald Chair ($1,998) from Anthropologie.

Midday Muse: Masculine Blues
I would never think to drench a room in one dark color from floor to ceiling, but I think it works incredibly well in this masculine midnight-blue room. The Todd Romano-designed space was featured in a 2005 spread of Robert Burke's apartment in Elle Decor.

Word du Jour: Herbivore
"Herbivore" is a term used in Japan to describe a man who rejects traditional masculinity when it comes to careers, romance, and material possessions.
The term, which typically means an animal who feeds on plants alone, is meant to indicate a man's disinterest in "flesh" — in other words, they're not into chasing women or accumulating material goods. Almost half of the men surveyed by a Japanese research firm described themselves as "herbivores."
Did You Give Your Daughter a Masculine Name?
Move over Judge Judy! You may have agonized over coming up with an inventive name for your daughter, but your little miss Ryan, Kelly, or Riley may be headed for the high court.
