You do know that it started already, right? But we're only three skaters in.
What??

Just curious...why don't you care about men's skating? Honest question.
I'm not sure, actually. There are probably a lot of reasons.
But I am kind of ashamed to admit that one of them is that it's simply not as pretty as ladies or dance. One of my favorite things about skating is that it's sport enough to be exciting and athletic, but art enough to be beautiful; men's skating seems to have veered sharply into the "sport" category. Which I totally respect; it's just not my thing. (Kind of like how I like rhythmic gymnastics better than artistic gymnastics, though I love both.)

Interesting. The men's event is my fave because of the huge athleticism in it. quads and 3A. Ladies I like too. But I wish some would get a pinch more ambitious. Pairs is probably my least fave unfortunately. Though I do quite like it.
In my mind the name of the game is Men's. Everything else is secondary. That doesn't mean I don't watch all of it - I do - and I follow it all. The difference for me is sitting on the front row at a Nationals practice for Men. The speed and the power when all those men hit the ice at once is a force that I can physically feel and often makes my jaw drop. For me there's nothing like it.
