[edit]"Oddly enough, the superfluous man is also used to describe social and outgoing men in certain parts of the United States." This information seems at odds with the context of the article, is unreferenced, and not informative, so I will delete unless someone has good reason for it to stay.Jimjamjak (talk) 11:46, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Encyclopedia Britannica lists two other, and more positive, examples of "superfluous men": Myshkin in Dostoievski's THE IDIOT, and Pierre in WAR AND PEACE.CharlesTheBold (talk) 14:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
