2014 was a great year for The Good Men Project. Page views topped 100 million, and we introduced dozens of new writers. 2015 promises to be another year of growth and excitement, and as the new year starts, we’d like to recognize and celebrate some of the best posts we published last year.

3) “And when two lovers woo…they still say ‘I Love You'”….OH WAIT. Those words are so 20th century. What is the modern version, at least according to the more than 1 million people who read this post?

9) When looking at the changing roles of men in the 21st century, you need to look no further than our old friend, Benjamin Franklin. (At least to the over 1/2 million people who counted this post as their fave.)

10) Ok, you know you are in a “relationship”. Maybe it’s even a “good relationship”. But is it the “right” relationship? We had several V.P.P.’s (very popular posts) on this topic. Here, the unflappable James Sama explains.
14) So, what is this thing called “normal”. And how does what we wear define that?
