I don't believe that all the men stood by patiently for the women & children to board the lifeboats but I do know that according to renowned Titanic historians, NO body has ever been found with bullet wounds. I have to question this person saying 'men', the multiple of a single 'man' were shot on deck as they tried to get into the lifeboats.
Anything is possible. We weren't there but if men were shot trying to board, how come no bodies were found with bullet wounds? Not one.

Sharks?
Those "on deck" that went into the water would not have been found inside the wreckage. Nor would bullets necessarily still be with any bones after such a long time (assuming they had not entirely been dissolved by the sea water, anyway).
