Pinterest is by and large a female domain, and were OK with that. Let them have
their pinboards so that they can live up to every female clich in the book. As
men, were more or less content to browse sites that provide us with actual, you
know, content.Still, a site like Pinterest doesnt skyrocket in
popularity the way it has without having a little something for everyone. Thats why
weve saved you the trouble of navigating the myriad wedding and makeup boards to
bring you these: the five Pinterest accounts men should know about. We were going to make
it 10, but give us a break. You cant get blood from a turnip.
5. Victorias Secret
Whats on it?We dont know if youve ever heard
of it, but its this little company that makes lingerie and swimwear. As luck would
have it, it turns out the best way to sell lingerie and swimwear is to feature it on
models who are almost offensively attractive. So, yeah, lots of that. There might be shoes
or other stuff on there, but we cant really be sure.Why
should I follow it?Seriously?
4. Motor Trend
Whats on it?Cars, mostly. Not just sports cars, but photos
of all sorts of cars. Supercars, trucks -- its all there.
Why should I follow it?
Because you dont have to be a car guy to appreciate the visual impact. Plus, far
from being just pictures, each pin takes you to a review of the featured vehicle. Even if
your budget only affords you a hand-me-down rice rocket, sometimes its nice to live
vicariously through the guys who get to test cars that cost more than youll earn in
the next decade.
3. Tailored
Tim
Whats on it?Clothes -- sharp-looking ones at that. As an
unexpected bonus, the boards curator writes some amusing commentary for his pins,
which helps elevate the experience a touch above just browsing pictures of
clothes.Why should I follow it?Because sometimes
even the manliest man needs a little fashion inspiration. Thats particularly true
as we transition from winter to spring, because after four months of bitter cold
were just itching to throw on a pop of color.
2. Food Network
Whats on it?Porn. No, not really, unless youre one
of those who thinks food porn is a thing. What it does have is food, and we
mean a lot of it. The site curates almost 50 separate boards, each one with some kind of
theme. Besides looking good enough to make even the most satiated mans mouth water,
each dishs delectable-looking picture links to the instructions on how to prepare
it.Why should I follow it?Because every man ought
to know how to feed himself, and if you can do so with style, more power to you. Cooking
isnt nearly as difficult as some make it out to be, and the Pinterest format lends
itself to browsing around until you come across something that strikes your culinary
fancy. Personally, we find it particularly effective at settling office lunch-destination
debates.
1. AskMen
Whats on it?Ok, you knew we had to sneak it in here
eventually. But, if were being as unbiased as possible, our own Pinterest account
is one of the best curated and organized for men on the site. With 18 boards and over
1,000 pins, youll find the same great categories you enjoy here at AskMen in an
easily digestible picture format.Why should I follow
it?Because we know who you are and weve seen where you sleep.
Seriously, though, AskMens Pinterest is everything you love about AskMen -- the
babes, the gear, the clothes, etc. -- in one convenient place. Best of all, no reading!
Give it a whirl. We guarantee your hangover will thank you.
