Headquarters
They originally had their meetings in a normal room but were somehow forced out by Nanao Ise who wanted to use the room as storage for the Shinigami Women's Association. They then relocated to a men's bathroom and also in an anime omake they used Ichigo Kurosaki's room in the real world because none of the squads would allow them to use their assembly halls.
Goals
The purpose of the club is unknown, but it seems to be a place where Iba can show off. All members are required to wear uniforms similar to Iba, and a mandatory pair of sunglasses that must be worn at each meeting. The club (and it's president) are constantly mocked by the Women's Association, particularly in the heated relationship between Iba and Vice-President Nanao Ise.
Like the Shinigami Women's Association they too have tried to design the most "macho" cellphone. However they have just as much success in doing so as the Women's Association Iba called Hisagi's suggestion too old-fashioned and also berated him for using an hiroshima dialect. Ōmaeda's was considered to expensive, Iba cosidered Kira's suggestion of a fox shaped cellphone as having too much reference to Ichimaru Gin, Ukitake actually held back on the manliness and Iba claimed that Harunobu Ogidō design scared him. Hisagi submitted a second phone design but this too was rejected. When they all agreed on Iba's design Akon came in and told them that their budget had been cut, so they could not afford the design.
Budget
Since Mayuri Kurotsuchi needed extra money to conduct his experiments, the Association's entire budget went to him. Prior to that, the Men's Association's budget was 90,000 Kan, the lowest of all the clubs. Because of this Iba went to work on the construction site to somehow regain their money.
Trivia
- In contrast to the Shinigami Women's Association, which boasts both female captains and almost all the female vice-captains as members, the Men's Association appears to only have Captain Ukitake as a member. In one omake, Captain Byakuya Kuchiki blatantly refuses Ukitake's request to become a member and the Men's Association's delegate to the Women's Association.
