I don’t know where to post my frustration.
But yes, I’m a man and I’ve my plans and dreams and they absolutely do NOT look like the top picture. It was fun initially like “haha some men happily live like this” but the joke got old. I’m absolutely sure most men want something more from their life than the top picture and the stereotyping helps no one
Interior design is stereotypically associated with women. Subsequently, there is a not insignificant amount of men who do kinda live like the top picture. Nothing wrong about that either, unless it’s due to trying to fit gender norms (and it probably is a lot of the time).
Personally, I used to put zero effort into making my living space cozy. This was partially due to the stereotypes and me being afraid of being perceived as gay (I was a closeted bisexual). Lately, I have gotten more interested in interior design, and it’s been fun. I have made my apartment a more pleasant place to live, which is really cool.
