I know a lot of guys, including me, who like the white. That said, none of us actually bought one. Must be some mental hold up.
I've always gone for the black iPhone in the past but this time I don't know why I decided to go for 64GB white. It looks stunning. Plus at the rate I go through iPhone I will probably of had both by Christmas 
oh and I'm male
oh and I'm male
My two previous iPhones were black, my iPad is black, so I went for a white iPhone this time just to change gears a little.
A woman in my office also ordered the white model while a guy ordered the black one.
I don't think that gender has anything to do with the color choice but interesting question nonetheless.

I'm male and I preordered a white one.
It was just to change things up.
I don't really see how white is more feminine than the black. I guess it's a judgement call, so we can all have our own opinions. But white doesn't seem to be considered feminine when you're talking about anything else -- cars, clothes, etc. -- so why phones?
Seems like some kind of insecurity if you won't buy a white phone because you're male.

you obviously have never seen a white iPad or iPhone in person
Does white hide surface scratches as well?
The poll should really be two questions...gender AND what did you order to really be able to tell anything from it. I am female and don't like the white that much, but never thought about it being masculine or feminine--just personal taste.
You're wrong. What smudges? Seriously. The white iPhone/iPad are not just painted white. They are painted white with a glass piece over it. The only thing that smudges is the glass and a quick wipe removes them.
I ordered 2 black ones. Thought about getting white ones but the black is just too classy and beautiful. I think the black with the glass looks very high end much more than the white but to everyone his own.
I ordered the white solely because I want my phone to at least *seem* different physically since Apple didn't redesign the outside at all.
I don't think I would've been able to do (what could end up being) 3 years with essentially the same phone.
While the white isn't inherently girly, from my personal experience I've by far seen more girls using the white iPhone over the black.

The only thing I'm worried about is dirt getting into/under it. I do a lot of automotive work/welding/fabricating in my free time and if I get something on the black I just wipe it off.
Currently, if my hands are greasy and I get a phone call while I'm under a car or something I have no qualms reaching into my pocket to grab my black iPhone - but I wouldn't even dare do that with the white.
My sister in law is an absolute neat freak and even she managed to get some grime stuck between her home button and front glass on her white iPhone after only a few months. So that's the only thing that worries me.
I'm going to have to be meticulous with the white and essentially not even have it on me when doing any of this type of work, I guess.
I'm secure enough in my masculinity to have ordered a white iPhone. I liked the way it looked, so I bought it. And if anyone has an opinion on the matter, they can feel free to buy me a 64 GB iPhone 4s in black, and pay my bill monthly too.
