i've posted on sites where there were a significant number of males who had gotten SSDI (but i'm not sure how old they were). i guess i never noticed a gender bias. it seems clear to me that attempting such a large number of jobs is a symptom of your disorder- you didn't say why they never worked out- but when i left a job (always had the same vocation) it was usually because of a stress-induced manic or depressive episode. you have already applied?, if you are turned down then please get an attorney. it is the last year of your life that the SSD people are most interested in, so make sure your psych records are current, etc. the attorney will know exactly what is necessary. in my case i was on 6 different meds (a complete zombie), i can't imagine anyone doing any job successfully the way i felt.
best of luck, judy
