Have you ever wondered why women seem to love pinterest more than mini-cupcakes and Ryan
Gosling put together? Which now makes me think of Ryan Gosling eating a mini-cupcake which
is delicious.
I've made the ultimate pinterest pin board to show you why women lovin' to be pinnin'.
So this guy Ben Silberman really liked insect collections when he was a kid. Dead bumblebees
and dragonflies and whatever kind of flies. And Silberman decided, 'Hey you know what
this is a great idea for a website called Pinterest.' Four years later, 1.5 billion
dollars for the online version of this that I made. Why are 79% of Pinterest users women?
Because it has become like an online hub of all things that women really like. This site
where we can go to make organized boards about the aspirational lives that we kind of wish
were our own. Based on my ultimate pin board, what kind of stuff are women pinning? Dream
cake. Women on Pinterest love desserts and more than eating desserts they love looking
at pictures of desserts. You don't get any calories if you look at pictures of desserts.
Models who exercise a lot. There's a name for this: fitspiration aka fitspo which is
supposed to inspire us to want to go to the gym. Usually it just makes me kind of tired
to where I just come back up to the dream cake and call it a day. Dream rooms, usually
built for children that you may or may not have. Fur shoes because you're never going
to wear fur shoes so why not look at them. Dream happiness. So many images of happiness
represented by things such as two models riding on a white bicycle with a beach in the background.
Dream friends. You guys want to come over for dinner? Huh? No? Kind of busy. I can't
imagine with what. Pinspiration. These are the things that are supposed to get us through
our difficult and demanding days as 21st century career women. 'Be a Fruit Loop in a world
full of Cheerios'. Cat fashion. Because there's nothing cuter than a sweater with a cat's
face on it. Clever recipes. Deviled eggs with caviar on it. All you have to do is take fish
eggs and put it on chicken eggs and then you have an egg-stravagant treat. Dream men arranging
flowers. There is no greater picture of modern masculinity than a couple of guys just hanging
out, probably talking about how nice of a beard he has and arranging flowers. Foods
that showcase domesticity. Women love to be posting pictures of the artisan pies that
they made on a Tuesday night somehow. Model moms. Nail art. The only nail decor I'm wearing
right now: it is dirt. And finally we have dream weddings. Once you have all of these
aspirational things going on in your life, you'll be ready for that big day because everything
will be perfect just like the life that you have on Pinterest. But guys there are also
Pinterest knock-off sites that are billed especially for you: Gentle-mint, Dude Pins,
Dart it up or Manteresting. Pretty much those pin categories are beer, grilled meats, babes.
Or if you want to go over to the social media site that is overwhelmingly dominated by men
in the same way that Pinterest is overwhelmingly dominated by women, well you need to join
Google+. Google+ is where you take all of the people you know and divide them up into
circles. And then do something. Hangout. You want to join one of my circles? I think I'll
stick to Pinterest.
