Dudepins finds niche

After a spring spent dissecting Pinterest with a thousand gingham-patterned scalpels (It’s feminist! It’s anti-feminist! It perpetuates princess culture! IT NEEDS MORE GINGHAM!), purveyors of aspirational, kittens-in-mittens social-networking sites can turn their attention to a new site: Dudepins.com.

Social networking with a side of Jim Beam and rugby tackles and bacon tacos. Pinterest for Dudes.

Two young tech-type Vancouver, B.C., dudes were having a drink in February, lamenting the lack of dude-oriented materials on Pinterest. “We thought Pinterest was great,” said Colin Brown, one of the dudes. “But I just didn’t feel like I was connecting with people who had similar taste. Weddings and fashion design – that’s not really what I’m interested in.”
