Be strong, but emotionally available. Be ambitious, but always present. Earn well, look good, speak up, toughen up, open up. Be a provider, a protector, a perfect dad, a perfect gay man. Or be the sensitive one, the creative one, the one who’s done the work. Be masculine enough. But not too tough. Be yourself, but make sure it’s a version everyone approves of.v

The stats on AI and our mental health, plus the questions no chatbot thinks to ask, so you know when it’s time to talk to a human.
A collection of the quiet moments that get us through: the text back, the shared silence, the hand squeeze that says it all.
Weather’s covered, work’s covered, and now you’re both ready to chat through the real stuff.
From situationships to the Manosphere and our relationship with drink, articles that make you think, feel and understand.
