    Add some dildos to the place. Nothing is more manly than thick, juicy dicks. It’s sure to be a conversation-starter, too!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
