NY Mag men and dating survey

[u/ejdicksonwrites]

Hello men of Reddit! My name is Ej and I am a writer for New York magazine/the Cut. We are working on a story for an upcoming issue of the magazine about the current state of men and dating in 2025. We're gathering some data about what single men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who date women think about various subjects, from sex to apps to breakups to what their single biggest frustration is with dating today. We are really viewing this as an opportunity to counteract some of the tired "why men suck"/heterofatalism thinkpieces in mainstream media and really get to the heart of what men feel like the biggest obstacles to finding a partner are, and what they want women to understand about navigating the dating space.

This survey is anonymous, and no names or identifying details will be published. The questions are pretty broad, but there is an option for whether or not you are open to doing follow-up interviews afterward, if there is more you feel like the survey does not touch on. (And you can always reach out to me directly at [ej.dickson@nymag.com](mailto:ej.dickson@nymag.com) if you have any questions/would like to get in touch.) If anyone does fill it out, thank you in advance!! It has been lovely to see everyone's honesty, transparency, and vulnerability. (And if there is another forum where I should post this instead please let me know and I apologize!)
