When a man is looking for an item generally in an uncrowded space and he quickly glances over the space then declares that he can't find it then calls for a female to locate said item. She then looks behind something and finds said item in plain sight.
John was looking for his phone and on the counter was a candle a cup and Johns phone. John does a man scan and states he can't find it then calls for his wife who finds his phone behind the cup.

Usually observed at clubs or bars where a single male body will scope out a potential woman but do a preliminary scan of any threat of a man involved at that time. After the Man Scan, one may either pursuit the woman, back off due to guy, or be a cock block and step in.
I saw some chick seemingly alone, so I did a quick Man Scan and then safely assumed she was without a man.

Usually an IT geek who is in charge of scanning large amounts of paper or files. Scan Man identifies and fixes any scanning errors and is sometimes revered as a type of pseudo super hero. Scan Man is often seen wearing t-shirts with software or trade show logos. Scan Man has also been known to sport high waters when required to dress up.
Scan Man came to the rescue yesterday when the scanner jammed and the entire system almost shut down.
