This is weird, but I noticed that in people in my age group (50's) it seems the men are the ones who most often substitute 'u' for 'you', as well as utilize more of the dreaded acronyms...they also prefer 'lmao' to 'lol' in chat rooms. Among the younger generation, however, this 'gender qualification' doesn't seem to be present.

Curious.
Thanks for this!
