Pinterest wants you to know: It’s not just for women.
The company just released a bunch of new growth stats in celebration of its fifth birthday. But it especially wanted to highlight how many men are using the site.
“We doubled our male user base in the U.S. this year,” Pinterest says. “Last year our male user base in the U.S. grew 73% year over year, and has been picking up in the past 6 months (54%) vs. the prior 6 months (40%), which is outpacing overall Pinterest growth.”
So, how are real dudes using Pinterest?
