Pinterest: No place for old men.

Ever since Troutrageous-Mike revealed the wonders of Pinterest, I’ve been plotting a daily course over there to cultivate my interests. Did that rhyme? Nevermind. ( Haha. You see what I did there? ok…ok….moving on…)

As my own boards(collections of photos and videos) grew, I quickly found that the supply of interesting photos was dwindling down into smaller and smaller selections. I “followed” a few humor feeds from folks I thought had a good sense of it, and I followed the few fly fishing feeds I found. Then, I went looking for some other “guy stuff” out there. Or fly rods. Fly tying? Anything…

A search for "fly tying"...

 

Looking for "fly rods"...

 

Ok then, how about "modern warfare 3" the video game?

Hmm...how about "Halo" - it's just had it's 10 year anniversary! A video game that big is going to show up on....well, I'll be....

 

I also searched for motorcycles. Not much going on there, either. Of course, if you guys all joined Pinterest and shared your favorite photos of outdoorsy stuff, there’d be plenty of new things to look at!

So get with it, before I’m forced to get into fashion clothing, fingernail polish fads and collectible scarfs. :)

Already on Pinterest? Let’s hook up and give the Mommy-bloggers of the world a run for their money. With fish and motorcycles and other such manly things. But no tenkara rods, please. Those things are just a fad. ;)

My wife is waaaay into Pinterest.

I’ve thought about starting one up and filling it with with pictures of guns, fishing, and my other, more nerdlier hobbies but I haven’t seen too many dudes on there so I haven’t really gotten into it. Perhaps I’ll get an account going.

It’s kinda like a photo blog swap thing. But it needs more fishing. And guns. And deer heads. Stuff like that. Even …nascar. maybe. :)

Hey Owl just gave you a follow on Pintrest, still working on it, but one man at a time, we will take over.

They’ll never know what hit ‘em! :) LOL

Good luck, I’m sure the mommies have a pretty good head start.

Oh not so boys. We girls have a fine head start in deer heads, guns, and fishies. We would LOVE it, if you added a few Modern Warfare, Halo and turkey hunting shots.

And hurry up. We can’t do it all for you.
