I'm a male and occasional user of Pinterest. I used it with my wife to collect and exchange images and ideas about interior design. I have a couple of male friends who have used it in a similar way. It's very good in suggesting visually related images. It is not an image search engine like Google, but rather a tool to organise and share collections of visual references. It seems to work great in areas where Google or DDG image search fail, because it relies on users organizing images, and seems to have a similarity graph for images. There are kinds of images you can easier find on Pinterest than on Google: haircut and fashion ideas, interior and architecture design, gardening and landscaping, some diy items, etc. When you have an idea how something looks, but don't know google keywords to find it. I understand frustration of Google image search users. But pins in google search results are Google's problem. I switched to DDG myself, and find it more straightforward for keyword based image search.
