At AskMen, it's our goal to understand exactly what it means to be a man. It's a goal we pursue every day through our articles and our interaction with readers, and it's why we're once again turning to our readers to ask: Who is the modern man? We invite you to participate in our annual Great Male Survey to find out what has changed, what is new and what remains constant about being a man.

As our Great Male Survey rolls out over the next four weeks, we'll be asking you a series of questions on three general topics: Dating, Lifestyle and Men In 2010. Toward the end of July, we'll publish the results. Here we present the first of our three-part series: Dating. Want to know what you're getting into? Check out a roundup of last year's GMS dating survey results here.
