Same, my fiancee uses it but I didn't really "get it". She "pins" recipes, clothing items, furniture, decorating ideas, and things for our wedding that look neat. She explained it as she uses it to remember things, mostly, like kind of making a list and a central place to keep links to stuff of that nature. Seems useful enough for her, but I really don't have any reason to use it. The only people I know who use it are female, mostly her and her friends. Don't know a single guy who uses it.

That sounds like a good use. I'm assuming men don't use it because we don't tend to be involved in areas/activities like the ones you mentioned above, which seem to be those that most easily utilize Pinterest.
