Substack? Yep, We’re There Now. Here’s Why.

At The Good Men Project, our mission has always been to spark conversations that matter. Since our founding in 2009, we’ve sought to explore the changing roles of men in the 21st century, unpack the complexities of modern masculinity, and amplify voices around love, relationships, fatherhood, mental health, social justice, and everything in between.

Over the years, we’ve built a community of millions — readers, writers, and contributors who care about creating a world where everyone can be good, whole, authentic human beings. And like any thriving community, we’ve grown, evolved, and adapted with the times.

That’s why we’re excited to share why we’ve expanded our platform to include two new Substack publications — and, more importantly, what this means for our readers.

What Is Substack — And Why Does It Matter?

If you haven’t come across Substack yet, it’s a fast-growing newsletter platform that allows writers, thinkers, and communities to connect directly with their audiences via email and online posts. It’s more personal, more conversational, and more community-driven than traditional websites or social media.

For you, that means stories, essays, advice, and conversations delivered straight to your inbox — no algorithms, no clutter, no clickbait headlines fighting for your attention. Just meaningful, timely content from voices you trust.

But our move to Substack wasn’t just about chasing a trend. It was about creating a better experience for readers like you.

Introducing Our Two Substack Publications

We didn’t want to duplicate what we were already doing on The Good Men Project website. Instead, we wanted to dive deeper into topics we know our readers care about — and build dedicated spaces for those conversations to thrive.

Here’s what we launched:

1. The Good Men Project: Relationships & Dating

Love in the modern world is complicated. Whether you’re single, partnered, divorced, poly, queer, straight, or somewhere in between, the landscape of dating and relationships is shifting.

On this Substack, we tackle it all:

Navigating dating apps with integrity
Communicating through conflict
Redefining masculinity in romantic relationships
Learning how to be emotionally available and vulnerable
Exploring sex, intimacy, consent, and modern love stories

Our contributors — dating coaches, therapists, relationship experts, and everyday folks — bring real, unfiltered conversations to your inbox every week.

Plus we include Guest Posts from writers who are on Substack. (Please message us there if you would like to be one!)

If you love relationships, we promise we’ll have a good one with your inbox.

2. The Good Men Project: Changing Roles of Men

Masculinity isn’t what it used to be. And frankly, that’s a good thing.

This publication digs into how men are redefining themselves in work, family, friendships, and society. It’s a space for men (and those who care about them) to talk about:

Mental health and emotional resilience
Fatherhood and caregiving
Career pressures and new work dynamics
Friendship, mentorship, and community building
Navigating privilege, allyship, and social justice issues

We cover the topics that don’t always get airtime elsewhere — with honesty, nuance, and heart.

The world is changing fast. We help you keep up. We’ll send you 1 post, 3x per week.

What’s In It for You

We didn’t just make this move just for us. We did it for you.

Here’s what you can expect as a subscriber to our Substacks:

✅ Direct, clutter-free access to content you care about
No social media algorithms deciding what you see. No ads breaking up thoughtful essays. Just honest, engaging pieces delivered directly to you.

✅ Deeper dives into the topics you love
Our Substacks allow us to focus on specific areas in a way we can’t always do on the main site. Think more in-depth stories, advice columns, personal narratives, and expert Q&As.

✅ A chance to be part of the conversation
Comment, share, and connect with other subscribers. Substack is built for community, and we’re excited to foster that energy here. Your thoughts, feedback, and experiences matter — and we want to hear them.

✅ Free and premium options
We believe good conversations should be accessible, so both Substacks offer a mix of free and subscriber-only content. Premium subscribers help sustain the work we do while getting bonus essays, behind-the-scenes notes, and special features.

The Future Is Personal

Media is changing. People are craving authenticity, connection, and spaces where real conversations can happen without the noise. That’s what we’re building on Substack — not as a replacement for The Good Men Project, but as an extension of our mission.

If you’ve ever read one of our essays and thought, I wish there were more like this, or I’d love to share my story here, now’s your chance. These new publications are for you, by you, and about you.
