I'm a 37 year old (jeez, typing that suddenly made me feel much, much older) male. I went from being an early, avid, oversharing Facebook user to quitting it 6 months back.
But that's just what it is. Two anecdotal examples which by themselves neither prove nor disprove anything.
- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoWell, yes, though I'm not using myself as an example, so much as the people I know, and I happen to be the type of person this survey was looking at.

- freehunter 13y agoI've never heard anyone say that male is an inappropriate term for a man. Both terms are acceptable in their own context.
- seiji 13y agoIt's largely a UK/US-ism I think. It's inappropriate in not-America to say you're male. "Male" just means you're an animal with dangly bits. US doctor: "A 24 year old male presents with..." UK doctor: "A 24 year old man presents with..."

- r0h1n 13y agoWoof! You got me there. I'm a dog, because then of course it makes perfect sense to you when I say I am a 37 year old male :)
