Pinterest Alternatives for Men
Jun 5, 2012 10:20 AM EDT by 
Pinterest, the social network that lets users save and share images of things they love to digital pinboards, has taken the Web by storm. Since its launch in 2010, the new site has grown to about 17 million users per month. Earlier this year, it shoved its way to third place in social networks behind Facebook and Twitter.
From decadent pastries to travel photos to tattoo art, Pinterest has a pinboard for anything you can imagine, but the service has one limitation: The majority of the social network’s audience is women. That split doesn’t really mean much, unless you’re a guy who wants to post pictures of bacon-burgers, sports photos and fast cars (not to mention avoid pins celebrating new boy band One Direction in poem form). That said, where’s a man’s man to go to pin up some pics, bro?
Luckily, Pinterest’s success has inspired three macho alternatives: DartItUp, Gentlemint and MANteresting. Each alternative is an online man cave of cool with its own personality and slant toward a particular breed of modern-day dude.

What is the deal with men not using Pinterest because there are a lot of women. They adopted and populated first but if you don’t care about weddings or cute pictures, don’t follow people who pin them. I don’t like weddings or republican politics. I don’t want to see it, so I follow like-minded people. I also never look at “popular” or “everything” because like life – it’s usually crap. Guys started Pinterest. Why wouldn’t guys use it? There plenty of cars and nude girls aswell as techy stuff. I search for art or artists I like, photographs or portraits I know of, places I’ve been or want to visit. When I find those pins, I look at who originally pinned it and see if they interest me. Also, when pins pop on my following page I don’t like, I unfollow that board. The point is you see what you choose. The problem with Pinterest is app is only partially formed – it crashes, is missing some basic functionality. I want something that works with private boards.

Maybe it’s the pink curly logo? – anyway, I never minded hanging out where there’s a lot of women ‡¡‡ If I want to check in on the guys, there’s the local sports bar
