一直以来，我们通常会以年代来区分不同特点的人群，比如：70后、80后、婴儿潮一代等等。不过，随着信息的不断丰富，人群的分类不再那么局限，人们的经济状况、生活方式甚至个人爱好都有可能成为分类的标准。在不同的分类标准下，每个人所属的类别也有所不同，这就构成了一个人的多维度特征。

　　4D Man is a male between 15 and 40 who is confident, individual and has varied interests and passions. 4D man is not as tribal as his predecessors, the metrosexual and the lad, where you either were one or you weren’t. He is also increasingly interested in culture and is more health-conscious.

　　4D男人指年龄在15到40岁之间，自信、有个性、兴趣广泛又热情的男子。他们不像之前年代的都市美男和年轻派那样有强烈的群体性：不是这一类就是那一类;他们对文化的兴趣更加浓厚，也更加注重健康。

　　Observable behaviour surely makes it easy to accept that today's masculinity is a blur of contradictions. The "4D man" report pointed to an individual interpretation of man – masculinity with a million dimensions, if you will – rather than a rigid conformity to one simplistic typology or another in terms of outlook, orientation or choice of car, coffee or coat. Men – as women have probably always known – can be really weird these days.

　　从日常可见的行为方式不难看出如今的男性特征极具矛盾性。4D男人的出现带来了对男人与众不同的一种诠释——多维度的男性特征，如果你愿意，你不必将自己归入某个单一类型的固有框架中，也不用通过外表、倾向性或对车、咖啡或者外套的选择来定位自己。现在的男人，其实跟女人一样，也可以诡异多变的。
