Gen Z Men and Loneliness: Why They Stopped Trying

You’ve never had a girlfriend. And you’ve stopped telling people, because every time someone asks, it feels like a verdict.

You’re not unlovable. You’re unpractised. And you’re not alone: nearly half of Gen Z men had no relationship as teenagers, and more young men than ever have stopped trying.

The loneliness, the fear of rejection, and the shame you’ve never said out loud.

If this is you, write to me. I read every message.

For the Man Shaped by Struggles — a space for men who carry more than they say.
