Yup, I like yoghurt. I put unsweetened stuff on (unsweetened) cereal with a bit of milk and maybe some fruit. Not so keen on flavoured varieties. I like a lassi after a hot Indian meal though.

I just finished six ounces of heaven on earth, Brown Cow Strawberry Cream Top yogurt.

I eat yogurt all the time. It’s good stuff.

I’m a guy, I eat it occasionaly. They ARE too small though. I’ve eaten 5 or 6 of the little ones at a time. I bought a big tub of the unsweetened and unflavored kind for a recipe once and did not care for it (the yogurt not the recipe) but the dog loved it.  
I tend to buy the small flavored ones for camping. A couple of those and a couple granola or cereal bars make a quick, easy breakfast.

Either yogurt or kefir every morning. I’m a gay dude, so I don’t know how that affects your poll.

My dad does, pretty much every day, I think.

I hate those little containers, too - 6oz isn’t enough.

I just buy big tubs of plain and add whatever I like to them though. To me, the pre-flavored varieties taste gritty and weird.

I’m male and I eat fruit yogurt on occasion, but given the fat and sugars, it is only as an occasional treat. As far as yogurts that use artificial sweeteners go, I’ll eat them occasionally also, but I don’t kid myself into thinking that they are a healthy food choice.

Every morning I have unsweetened non-fat yogurt mixed with granola and a handful of cocoa nibs.

I’m eatin’ it right now, actually.

I (and everyone in my family) eat a lot of yogurt. We’re also all mildly lactose intolerant.

“Fruit on the Bottom, Hope on Top”

I’ll sometimes eat yogurt usually if it’s an odd flavor (Bostom creme pie anyone?), or if it’s got real sweet fruits at the bottom. I’ll just eat the plain parts first so i can enjoy the sweet gooey fruit part alone. I don’t want to ruin the taste of that fruit with yogurt! I’m a dude if you couldn’t tell by that logic.

I’ve just recently convinced my husband to start eating yogurt. He likes it best with my homemade granola on top (as do I). It kind of surprises me that he will eat the stuff I buy because it has artificial sweeteners in it and usually he won’t eat that. I think maybe he doesn’t realize that it’s in there. I’m not going to tell him otherwise.

Breakfast for me is a carton of yogurt and a glass of juice. Occasionally I’ll also have one of those Dole (or similar) fruit cups.

What the OP is missing is that while both men and women eat the stuff, it’s largely purchased by women.

I eat it fairly often. For a while, yogurt and crackers was my daily lunch.

Yeah, I offered one of my camping buddies a yogurt and he looked at me like I offered him a Maxie-pad!

I think it’s the weight loss angle that they pitch to women although the regular yogurt isn’t that diet friendly.
