Let's face it.  Men and women are different.  The book, "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" put into words what we already knew.

Men love to have a space that is just for them --  An escape for their sports viewing, game playing and just getting together with the guys.  The term, "man cave" was recently coined to describe a dedicated space for the man of the house.  The term, "cave," gives the idea that the space is definitely masculine and can be rudimentary, but it doesn't have to be. 

We know it's not fair to attempt to put all men into the same category.  Not all men are sports enthusiasts, but they still love their space. 

For the man who loves to read and enjoy a quiet space alone, a comfortable wing chair, side table and good lighting are just what the doctor ordered
