I keep seeing cool stuff on there(that my wife is showing me) but it can't bring myself to join because it seems like it's a chick thing.

Who are you trying to impress? You've already sworn off other vagine. I say roll with it man.

This is 2014.  You're going to have to define exactly what you mean by "guy".

Example of something my wife showed me tonight...and yes, I ordered it to be the new door knob to the man cave.(obviously Orioles)

I think that, if you believe it will be a useful site for you, either because you can view things your wife wants to share, or because you find your own use for it, go ahead. It's just a tool. A pink hammer is still a hammer, and if you find that the pink one is more comfortable or usable, that's all that matters.

It's also becoming a requirement for a lot of sales/PR/marketing jobs to have experience with Pinterest as part of social media expertise; to be competitive, men in those fields are increasingly having to acquire that experience.

If you join and see what your wife pins, you will never have to stress about knowing what she wants for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary. I say it's a-okay since it's such a great resource for "guy" things like home improvement projects, grilling, and weight lifting/strength training.

Marrying a broad that puts her entire life on Pinterest is an entirely different conversation.
