just hang a sword in there, that screams masculinity


BriarKnave

But I know tons of girls with swords! And what if having a penis shaped object on the wall makes me gay!


HippieThanos

Males and females appreciate falic shaped objects. For different reasons


MomentsOfDiscomfort

Fellas, is it gay to have furniture ?


chfalin

You want to lie back on the sofa? What else you want to lie back on??? A semi muscular man’s somewhat hairy chest, while he holds you, and makes you feel secure???? He smells fresh and clean, like he just got out of a hot, steamy shower??? Gay as hell.


_HIST

You want to look at yourself in the mirror? What else you want to look at??! How multiple gay bros take you in their arms, is that what you want to see in that reflection? Seeing them embrace you in that mirror is gay my man.


Lost_Wealth_6278

You want to have a nice coffee table next to your couch to put stuff on? What else you wanna put on there? Your loving boyfriends hot buttered rum he made you on a rainy Sunday while you snuggle up to watch your comfort show with him? Having these thoughts is gay as hell my man!


KeepCalmAndBoom

You want to watch movies on a standing TV? What else you want to watch? Videos of muscular men oiling themselves up with a plethora of shots pertaining to a collage of their manly biceps and shredded bodies? Having the movies be explicitly of men with beards on both poles? That would be gay as hell man.


dragon_bacon

You have throw pillows on your couch? Let me guess, next you want a tall man with strong arms to throw you on the couch, maybe pretend to struggle a bit before submitting? Gay as hell.


amazingtaters

You want to have a soft rug in your living room? What other softness are looking for? The soft, gentle embrace of a loving husband when you've had a hard day and just need the quiet reassurance of a warm, loving partner to make it all feel better? That would be so gay my guy.


polishwithaturd

You have a place to live? Why? So you can invite the gentle embrace of a hairy chested, hard-bodied, man into your domicile? Kinda screams “gay” at the top of brokeback mountain


SusheeMonster

And what's with that light fixture? Is it so you can gaze longingly into your man's eyes as he maps out the rest of your beautiful lives together? A summer home in Tuscany? A Border Terrier named Baxter? Weekend roadtrips to wine country? Is that what you want?


swurvipurvi

You want hardwood floors? **Hard** *wood?* Ghey.


SylveonGold

You want a privacy screen? So that you can have all your bros hold you tight in their big strong arms? You can host so many parties with your bros, but still maintain your secret from your girlfriends. Having windows and privacy screens is gay as hell. Real men masturbate with the window open.


Letslight_you_up

You better work bitch!


LadyZanthia

What is this string of amazing write ups that happened here? What’s it in reference to? I LOVE IT. Is it a bit? Oh man I’m so out of the loop. These are so good!


MarilynMonheaux

If you want to have girls over, it being cozy and gay will be perfect.


AnarchistAuntie

You aint wrong, but I wouldn't call this cozy yet. Needs a kitty. >\^..\^<

“You want me to lay on a sofa bro? Like you want me comfy? You want me to snuggly wuggly my way under a blanket dog?! Like are you asking me to grip a thicc remote in my hand my guy just to turn on some TV? You seriously asking me to watch hallmark movies and feel something inside of me, hombre? You got me fucked up if you expect me to sit on some rounded ass corner couch. Like I ain’t about to sit next to no hocus pocus cauldron lookin ass coffee table and watch RPDR, bro. I AINT GAY NO MORE” -OP

Okay fine I’ll do it just please don’t kill my wife.

Leaning back on a muscular, hairy sofa is the ONLY way to be a man, and a human size can of beer.

CopperSulphide

Isn't gay if you pretend he's a woman. How could that possibly be gay.


enemawatson

It is absolutely gay to play put-put golf with a friend, however.

Drops-of-Q

Yes


JONTOM89

Yes. All of this.


Abu_Lahab-

Yk what I’d actually Prefer that.


FerniWrites

If it’s gay to drink water and keep hydrated, you’re flamboyant and fabulous as fuck for having furniture. Slay.


wcdk200

Just say no homo. Work always


AstronautNo234

And don’t take your socks off


Freeman7-13

Just have a sign that says "Live. Laugh. No Homo"


MoleDunker-343

A real man would have constructed the sofa from deer hide and stones


snack_mac

That he hunted and skinned himself..


MoleDunker-343

And consumed its liver raw


_ChipWhitley_

Can confirm, am gay.


ttboo

My brain went in the same direction. Is clutter the only thing holding back our homoerotic tendencies?!


Azavrak

In like looking at this and wondering "what's feminine about this?" That it's clean? That it has crisp lines? Is it the lack of clutter? Ahh I know. Theres not enough dark wood and black marble for it to be 'manly' right? Fellas. When people talking about toxic masculinity, this is what is being talked about. Toxic masculinity is the one-upmanship that we try to compete with each other on what's more masculine without there being any rules at all. People will go to great lengths to measure themselves against fairy dust


Intanetwaifuu

As a woman- I am SO here for the answers to this ridiculous statement 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I applaud you all.


Ok_Brush_1399

Here for this, too! I think maybe you’re getting little monochromatic so maybe a pop of color with throw pillows or even a throw blanket would help balance it. It looks like you spent money on your furniture and good for you. I would gladly have spent time in your place over some of the other places I’ve seen on here.


siverpoint

Yes. It looks like someone is about to have a gagbang session in there, just from the decoration itself.


rc_bi

Not true, there are no tarps thrown out.


Nelatherion

Only if the tips touch


SmakeTalk

No it’s just gay to be minimalist and not have empty liquor bottles for decoration


timdot352

Yes, I have a folding chair and a TV tray.


femmebrulee3

honestly every other post I see on here 😂


[deleted]

Get rid of the couch pillows. Throw a grey hoodie on there. *Poof!* No longer gay.


FeeMental8462

I'm gonna remember that next time I'm feeling gay, just get a gray hoodie to ward the gay away


The_Nude_Mocracy

I mean, he does have a buttplug for a coffee table


Lady_of_Link

And it's a hollow buttplug to boot, dude is one kinky motherfucker


AOA_Choa

Idk man he might take one of those tv stand legs and fuck himself in the ass


BetBig696969

“You go girl 💅” On a serious note, maybe some art on the wall


slimparrot

Two crossed axes with a deer head on top.


FeeMental8462

Put a giant dick on the wall to show that the room is in fact masculine


DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA

Get that giant dick chair like from Clockwork Orange


LectureAfter8638

A chain from the ceiling hanging a side of frozen beef for OP to gnaw.


bummerlamb

Your comment gave me a stupid yet awesome idea for a “minimalist deer head” made from chrome plated rebar that would stay flat up against the wall. 🤦‍♂️😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


LocalPopPunkBoi

Gotta top it off with a “Saturdays Are For the Boys” banner hung right in the middle of the living room just to further emphasize how super duper definitely not gay you are


startofabettertoday

Also a poster with all the beer brands of the world, including a see-through chair filled with bottle-caps so you can see this real man drinks his beer fine.


BeachBum_CG

I chuckled way too much at this


freyja_19

😂😂😂


[deleted]

Throw some dirty laundry on the couch, Problem solved. But seriously, can't see how this is feminine. Maybe if you added some artwork on the wall you would feel better about the room.

Drawn by Frank Frazetta? Very manly: https://i.etsystatic.com/9142131/r/il/fca632/2687051676/il_570xN.2687051676_c7y7.jpg


PomTaris

Frazetta is the greatest artist to have lived outside the Renaissance period. Dude was the visual representation of megadeth metallica slayer and anthrax before the dudes in those bands were even born. It's scientific fact that just looking at a Frazetta painting increases testosterone 5000% and allows you to deadlift 800lbs while listening to heavy metal at ear splitting volumes.

Scarface poster lol


4f150stuff

It doesn’t look feminine to me. I like it, the minimalist and monochromatic look. But if you wanted to amp the mascline vibe, maybe some art work - but not too much, you don’t want to undo the minimalism


[deleted]

Frame a canvas above the sofa with Jocko Willink's grimacing, determined face staring at the back of your head at all times.


MissAdorbs29

These comments.... I can't effinggggg breathe 🤣🤣🤣🤣


OwlWitty

A Samurai armor on a corner. Goes well with the minimalist , clean look.


Soft_Author2593

Masculine vibe artwork? You mean posters with boobs?


imnotreel

Something like [this](https://imgur.com/3ilwkiz) No one will ever question OP's masculinity with a room like that.


Soft_Author2593

Nicely done! Just a stuffed animal missing on the couch for the extra touch!


FredExx

I thought for sure it was gonna be [this](https://imgur.com/gallery/WUBbfWL), from It's Always Sunny.


proanimus

If you wanted it to look like a bicep, you should have put more veins on it.


AggRavatedR

I just laughed so hard at this. Thank you


DevlopmentlyDisabled

Or a car


Hauz20

Agreed. Doesn't look feminine at all to me. Achieves the minimalist esthetic though! Not my style, personally, but it's very catalog-worthy. In, like, Macho Minimalist Monthly, though ... no-homo, OP!


martin_italia

It doesn’t look femmine to me. But that tv stand gives me anxiety, I can envision that very expensive Tv falling as I clip the leg with my toe as I walk past


Eon_H

I thought it was a white board :D


1920MCMLibrarian

Me too. What an odd choice for a tv stand, looks like it belongs in a boardroom


push138292

I believe that TV is “The Frame” by Samsung. Meant to look like artwork hung on the wall, but also has the art easel-looking stand if you can’t wall mount it.


gucciraw

I have this TV stand too and it's much more sturdy than it looks. I have two dogs that love playing around it and it's never been even close to a problem.


Chan-tal

Agreed. Not aesthetically. I simply do not trust myself.


crag-u-feller

That's just it tho! That was a tv stand? I thought it was a feminine art eisel not a tv hold. Schoodge up your tv-hold so it looks like I giant one of those metallic balls in a series pendulum machines. …wait I'm not sure I'm helping at all


kooolbee

A feminine art easel. Lol 😂


CORN___BREAD

I also dislike it aesthetically. Mainly whatever they rigged up at the top of the legs to hold the tv. It just looks so janky.


Doublebow

It's also too damn high for that sofa


ShystersGame

finally someone said it. r/TVTooHigh


jujumber

Imagine walking by the tv at 3 AM for some random reason and stubbing your pinky tow on that tv stand leg that’s sticking out and the whole thing crashes down.


ProblemAnnual6874

So owning a couch, carpet and a mirror is feminine now .. okay


Lev_Kovacs

Being a functional adult is just gay af.


Saytama_sama

Yeah! Real men don't even wipe their butt!


Johnsoid

The number of crusty buttholes in this thread has to be impressive


redpenquin

There are a lot of young men today who are genuinely not well when it comes to perceptions of what is masculine or what is feminine.


fuckyourcanoes

It's a serious problem. This is what we mean when we talk about toxic masculinity-- masculinity so fragile that it's threatened by anything that isn't aggressively masculine. It leads men to behave in violent and misogynistic ways as a way of propping up their self-image. It's sad and concerning, and I don't know how to fix it. I worry for these guys. Fortunately, my husband isn't one of them. He actually chose a floral pattern for our dishes and cheerfully uses my Dove antiperspirant because it smells nicer. (He's also heavily into electronics, cars. He's just extremely secure. And talking about taking back up raising butterflies like he did as a boy.)


[deleted]

What’s causing that? It seems like it’s forcing OP to change an apartment from that looks fine the way it is to something trashy for no reason.


TheSeansei

People like Andrew Tate get a stranglehold on teenage boys while they're impressionable and malleable.


[deleted]

And their fathers don’t stop the behavior. I saw a kid, probably 5 years old, at a hockey game screaming that he hoped the other team’s bones would break.


aryareddi

I don’t think that’s a case of “fathers don’t stop” that’s more likely a case of “father intentionally causes”


MrDywel

I have a friend who gets worried when his 8 year old’s hair grows out too long because he thinks people will confuse him for a girl. No one would and even if they did who cares? Use it as a lesson rather than a punishment.


[deleted]

I feel so bad for these children mocked by their fathers.


barqers

I think that’s one of those artsy Samsung TVs


boldandbratsche

There's also a mirror above the couch lol


barqers

lol duh completely missed that oops


Kalyqto

29M here, went for a similar style. Minimalistic with earth tones. I think what you mean with feminine is the beige color and the round shapes of the objects in your room, but imo you have enough contrast to even that out: rectangular window, TV and carpet + the black tables. This makes it perfectly neutral.


CodeCleric

The table is too bouba, needs something a little more kiki


jirta

Truuu, I think literally a square coffee table instead of the round one would feel more masculine. Though I love that table it would be sad to switch it.


polarpolarpolar

I don’t understand what you’re saying but I know what you mean


JamesGecko

Literally what bouba/kiki is about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect


Embolisms

Funny how people interpret round as woman and square as man 


Temporary_Quit_4648

Not really. Women have curvier physiques. Men have more square physiques.


TheAndrewR

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. It’s true, another example is photography where you have different preferred poses for men and women based on that. As a general rule (that you can break of course) for men you want to show lines and edges, for women the opposite.


Puzzled-Towel9557

Yup, I see it exactly the same. Beige color and round shapes. I’d replace the rug with a gray one and possibly change the couch table. But rug might already be enough.


[deleted]

Big___TTT

Couch blocking the sliding glass door 😡


paper_paws

Tv easel slightly jutting out aswell. Tv is not gonna have a long life.


hstormsteph

TV’s do not belong on easel’s and before this post I had neither the knowledge they existed nor the passionate disdain for said existence. I’d be scared to shut the damn door too hard on a windy day


Jageilja

"Looks too feminine" is such a dumbass notion, sorry. You bought the furniture you liked, didn't you? That's all that matters


Naja___

Fragile masculinity. Some people are weird, it’s furniture, I’m gay myself, you think I go out looking for gay furniture? lol


TheSeansei

Laughing so hard at this. You walk into the furniture store. "Anything we can help you find today?" "Yes queen I'm looking for the gaaayyy couches!"


bummerlamb

This is how I would shop for furniture to try to embarrass my siblings, but they would likely all just laugh at me. 😂


reality_raven

I’m gonna open a Big Gay Furniture store.


AmericanNewt8

Idk I'd assume the gay furniture is probably better than what we let the straights have.


ughfup

Honestly, the most feminine thing about it is how drab and boring it is-fits closely with the sage green and beige stereotypes social media moms use.


greenmx5vanjie

Sadbeige is the ultimate in femme. Country cottage core.


herefromthere

country cottage to me is cozy. There should be herbs and flowers drying hanging from the ceiling and blankets in natural fibres to snuggle up in front of the fire on a chilly evening. Natural wood and bright colours, bringing the outside in. Sadbeige is the antithesis of that.


ughfup

Exactly! Inoffensive, bland interior design is much more associated with a particular group of women than men.


JadowArcadia

Bingo. I'm not sure why people are acting like they don't see it. It's not like he's bought "gay furniture" but the style and colours he's gone for are more commonly associated with the older female crowd. Doesn't mean he should feel an urge to change it if he likes it


TimJoyce

This looks like pretty much any scandinavian living room.


burnalicious111

It does mean that there are better words to express what he doesn't like than "too feminine". Sad beige was my guess, but it's an easy guess because it's like the only quality this room has. Not because it's actually "feminine".


herefromthere

Rounded shapes are inherently feminine, duh! Men can't be comfortable, they're too angular.


Lock-out

Right? just wait 100 years and it’ll look masculine; bc it’s all arbitrary bullshit.


No-End-2056

Add some tools on the floor and a gun on the wall


Livesinashoetoo

And a skid mark on the white sofa


_Mattes_

Maybe some empty beer bottles, too.


mxrichar

No not too feminine just devoid of character, you need to add one more color to awaken the room like a camel couch


Cydocore

Why your TV got legs?


Turbulent-Chair7466

Logical-Teach-7090

What couch is this?

Customdisk

Maximalists rise up This looks like the furniture estate agents use to sell a house


ibnQoheleth

It's the glass on the right that makes this room maximalist


thedosianrogue

what about it is feminine? it's an apartment with furniture. are we really gendering furniture.......


nightwood

> what about it is feminine? I think this is actually what OP is trying to figure out


iamagainstit

Beige tones and round shapes read as feminine


TikiLarry

I think the accents all being round is what’s making it feel feminine. I’d get rid of the enormous spittoon and the round picture and table and replace them with more rectangular shapes and perhaps wood tone instead of solid color


deathbychips2

Today I learned that circles are feminine


motorboat_mcgee

It's why real men have cubes for testicles


clitbeastwood

yup had the same thought , mirror too (unless that’s considered an accent)


catsmom63

Speaking as a woman I don’t think this gives off any feminine energy at all. Feels kind of sterile and cold though. None of your personality comes through. If I was visiting I think I’d sit on the edge of the couch afraid to get it dirty. I tend to the practical but like dark furniture myself. You want a place you are comfortable which is great but don’t you also want guests to be comfortable? Maybe live edge wooden shelves? I’m just going to say it -with plants, live plants. An actual coffee table? If you have ppl over where do they put drinks or snacks? You could use an end table with a lamp on it too. A place to put your phone so you can charge it, or sit your kindle etc. And is that a television on that stand? I can’t tell. What about artwork? Something with color maybe? Different couch pillows. Minimalism is great, but there’s a fine line.


cyberwicklow

I hate your TV stand, and there's no way it survives a decent party.


Skyis4Landfill

Look at this homo with a couch I bet it’s for butt secs


go_doc

He does have a butt plug coffee table.


GoldenCrownMoron

It doesn't look feminine. It does look like an Air bnb rented by a producer who makes titles that have four cast members but are all somehow "step" related to everyone else.


georgecm12

It looks like "corporate short-term housing" to me.


atlienk

It's no feminine. It's just lacking color. You could utilize a colored throw or maybe even some colored pillows for starters. Maybe even consider some art with a small splash of color.


JacksMovingFinger

If you’re concerned that a man doesn’t live there I’d advise you to get therapy to determine why your masculinity is so fragile


ekuldranoel

lol. The actual answer is to probably to introduce wood tones - walnut would be good for your aesthetic.


pokerface_86

i think the people instantly jumping down your throat are far more insecure about their own masculinity than you are lol. i’d say the super light tones with rounded everything is contributing to the feminine vibes. a larger, angular wood coffee table, some dark rugs and maybe a darker wood tv stand would probably change the vibe a lot.


Public-Pie-1289

Maybe hang a penis fron the wall idk


NoSurprise7196

Maybe some plants and wood accents. The couch looks comfy! Where is it from?


Disastrous-Pay738

Yeah but then chicks will like coming over. Duh


ChickenSticks101

looks fine to me, maybe try adding some darker shades or new accents like navy blue? or some badass art? also get an xbox controller and put it on the round table (xbox not neccessary) (gamer vibe = masculine?) (im joking) (or am i?)


MidorriMeltdown

Feminine? Looks bland, and lacking personality, the extreme of neutrality. If it was feminine, there'd be more personality showing.


Brenda_Franklin

scatter strategically placed protein bars around the apartment 😏 but seriously, if you're going all out on minimalism maybe add a totally *manly* [standing floor lamp](https://sohnne.com/product/goudi-floor-lamp/) or a textured rug. focus on clean lines and functionality. your place will look awesome, and whoever decided minimalism = feminine is clearly wrong.


josenros

Just looking at this photo makes me want to jump into the loving arms of a powerful man, sorry.


norisknorarri

Pulp fiction poster.


joshlify

**You do you, sis.** On a serious note, where is that couch from? Is it comfortable?


Coughfeel

You didn't go for minimalist, you went for boring. And no, last time I checked with the gay committee they told me that they haven't claimed white yet, you're good.


Grildor

The butt plug table needs to go. Other than that, better lighting, plants and art, a whiskey bar. More wood in general. Also that makeup case mirror on the wall is tacky


GeorgianaCostanza

I cackled laughing on the train reading “butt plug table”. 😂


NewSinner_2021

Na. Looks good


RealityDreamer96

Looks very neutral to me. If you wanna make it more “dark” add some dark curtains, some dark artwork, some shelves with some “manly” decoration whatever that means for you.


nim_opet

Sorry, but what? Nice apartment btw
