    No reason it can't be! You pretty well pin whatever you want on there, so if you see a great article about a workout, you can pin it. :D Seems like I have several guy friends on Pinterest.
  • Sure. I "follow" a guy who posts about nothing but swords and cars XD

    I don't see why not... I spend enough time on pinterest with my boyfriend hovering over my shoulder saying, "ooh, what's that? you should pin that! oh, and that one too! hey, you should make those pork chops. that's a really awesome fireplace." :)

    I've been showing hubby Pinterest for a week now, and last night he actually sat down and looked through it. He loves it! He mainly looks at the History section, but looked at the DIY and Crafts section for ideas for our house (we are remodeling.)

    My husband has one.. just because he loved the humor section when I would leave mine up. He doesn't pin much, mainly cars and things he finds funny. Nothing wrong with it.

    Pinterest is of the devil and will consume your very soul.

    You've been warned.

    My wife makes fun of me constantly because I have a pinterest account and she doesn't. Granted, I use mine to find ideas for food, exercise, car, etc... she would use it to look at cute puppies and kittens.

    If you like food, beverages, amazing floor plans, really cool outdoor spaces, vacation ideas, clothes, cars, motorcycles, tattoos, electronics, power tools, pictures of rat tales with the shape of a rat on a guys head, pictures of abandoned property, haunted houses, ghosts, animals, architecture, art, DIY projects, entertainment, health & fitness, to laugh, and there is a board called "men's fashion." Happy pinning!

    Not so sure you'll like it. I signed up and created my profile over a few days. Now I'm bored with it. Not sure how it holds anyone's interest for very long. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. ;)

    Or at least your entire evening.

    defnitely doing it wrong. I was that way at first too, then I realized I just wasn't surfing around correctly and my head exploded.

    My girlfriend pins all of the jewelry she likes. In that case I guess you could say it is for men... subtle hints on presents :wink:

    Pinterest is grounds for having your ManCard revoked.

    You're only a few keystrokes away from B'Dazzling your cell phone with pink glitter and hanging Justin Bieber posters over your bed.

    Look at it. LOOOK AT IT... IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT???

    Haha My BF is on it and repins cute puppies....lol
    he also looks up jokes and creative outdoor pictures.....Somedays he is the lady of the house

    I think it leans slightly more towards being for women (only cause we are addicted to the site in abundance) but I see more and more men pinning things everyday :smile:

    So this is how it all ends? I had pictured it involving fire, brimstone, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, etc.

    But I also thought the same about myspace, so I guess there is still hope.

    You make your own boards, so why not? There are quite a few men on there. You can have a fitness board, a car repair board, a football board ...

    I'm on it. But I do like shoes, tea, know how to sew, and have no idea what's going on when watching football.

    But I am deadly serious where martinis and scotch are concerned.

    So, have at it. Just don't blame me if the validity of his man card is disputed.
