Before you say anything -- No, it's not a misspelling in the title.
Gentlemint is a new site that I discovered very recently. It's basically like Pinterest, but for dudes. (If you think I just inferred that Pinterest is not for dudes, you're pretty much right on the money...and I wasn't inferring...I'm straight up saying it to your face.)
It works in much the same way as Pinterest, in that you have to get an invite or request one on the site. In my experience, you're better off finding someone you know who is a member and getting them to shoot you an invite than requesting one on the site.
Why? Well, it took me two weeks to finally get one. Truthfully, I'd kinda forgotten I even requested it. It's certainly an aspect that Gentlemint should consider refining. I know what they're doing. They're trying to create a mystique and an allure. But there's a fine line between creating curiosity and driving people away.
Anyway, the site is pretty cool, from what I've seen so far. It's essentially just an overload of user-uploaded content intended for dudes.
But I think it would be easier to show you what I mean, rather than just tell you about it.
After the jump, I'll show you some of my favorite content that I've seen so far, as well as give you information on how you can get an invite to Gentlemint, if you're interested:
Here are the top five items I've stumbled upon, thus far:

So here's the deal. I have TWO invites to Gentlemint to give away. The first two people to RT this blog post will get the invites.
