Of course a man can be bipolar.
Many people see bipolar people as emotional drama queens.
But the reality is quite different.
When you have bipolar, a lot of time is spent in god awful depression and wanting to be alone. Activities, things and people that normally interest you become totally meaningless and empty. You usually can't study or hold down a job cause you don't even want to leave your house and interact with any other people for weeks or months at a time. This can last up to half a year (6 months) or longer.
The so called "high part" (mania) lasts a shorter time. Anywhere from a few days, to 3 months but no longer.
If someone is rapidly cycling between extreme moods in a single day or week, I'm not sure if that's bipolar...sounds more like borderline personality disorder or something else.
