The research touched on a wide range of interconnected issues \u2013 from politics, to men\u2019s mental health, to fatherhood \u2013 and also revealed a lot about men\u2019s attitudes towards dating and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-innertext=\"anti-feminist sentiments are rife\"><span>ANTI-FEMINIST SENTIMENTS ARE RIFE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>The study<\/span><span>revealed high levels of anti-feminist sentiment amongst UK men, with <\/span><span>50 per cent endorsing \u2018red pill\u2019 rhetoric underpinned by misogynistic ideology. <\/span><span>67 per cent of men agreed that \u201cthe media tends to portray men in a negative light\u201d, while 59 per cent of men agreed that \u201cfeminism is about favouring women over men\u201d. This chimes with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/61823\/1\/young-men-and-women-are-increasingly-split-on-political-issues\">seperate research which has suggested that men and women are becoming increasingly split on political issues,<\/a> with men generally becoming more right-wing and women becoming more progressive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-innertext=\"manosphere influencers are poisoning men\u2019s minds\"><span>MANOSPHERE INFLUENCERS ARE POISONING MEN\u2019S MINDS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>UK data from men\u2019s charity Movember shows that men who regularly consume masculinity influencer content are more likely to report frustration with dating. Among these men, 63 per cent believe women should fulfil traditional roles as wives and mothers (compared to 37 per cent among those who do not follow such content), while many others feel that \u201chigh-value men\u201d have a significant advantage in the dating pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-innertext=\"men believe women\u2019s expectations are too high\"><span>MEN BELIEVE WOMEN\u2019S EXPECTATIONS ARE TOO HIGH<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Over the last few decades, more and more women have entered the workforce. As a result, growing numbers of straight women no longer need to \u2018rely\u2019 on a male partner to provide for them financially, allowing them to be choosier when dating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Consequently, many men are feeling unable to live up to women\u2019s rising expectations: 48 per cent of men agree with the statement \u201cI would have to change too much about myself, such as my values or behaviours, to make a serious relationship work long-term\u201d, while 65 per cent believe \u201cwomen have too many expectations for how men should be in relationships these days\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Many men also still feel pressured to take on a traditionally masculine role in heterosexual relationships. Many believe women still expect them to be breadwinners: 57 percent of men agreed that \u201cwomen only seek out men who either have a lot of money or a really good job\u201d, while 44 per cent of men aged 18 to 34 believe \u201ca serious relationship is too big a financial commitment\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-innertext=\"dating app fatigue endures\"><span>DATING APP FATIGUE ENDURES<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>It\u2019s no secret that women are tired of using dating apps, but the findings suggest men are sick of them too. More than half of men (54 per cent) agreed that \u201cmost men don\u2019t stand a chance to meet someone on dating apps.\u201d Nevertheless, 52 per cent of men (and 60 per cent of women) said they use dating apps in the hope of finding a long-term relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Relatedly, more men than women use dating apps for casual sex: 49 per cent of men used apps for this purpose, compared to just 23 per cent of women.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-innertext=\"ai relationships are on the up\"><span>AI RELATIONSHIPS ARE ON THE UP<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Around 15 per cent of men (and 14 per cent of women) reported having interacted with a virtual girlfriend or boyfriend. \u201cVirtual relationships are increasingly appealing,\u201d the report reads. \u201cThese digital connections offer emotional intimacy without the perceived risks of rejection, conflict, or financial strain. Yet, the rise of AI companionship also highlights growing social isolation \u2013 particularly among men, who already spend more time online than women.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-innertext=\"young men feel particularly hopeless\"><span>YOUNG MEN FEEL PARTICULARLY HOPELESS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Arguably \u201cthe most concerning finding\u201d in the report was the fact that swathes of young men are feeling despondent about dating. According to the survey, 36 per cent of men aged 18 to 24 said they agreed with the statement \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone can fall in love with me\u201d. Similarly, 33 per cent of men aged 18 to 24 agreed with the statement \u201cI will never find someone to share my life with\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhile similar sentiments were reported by women, the concentration among younger men is striking,\u201d the report reads. \u201cThese figures may partly reflect the uncertainties of early adulthood, but they may also signal a broader erosion of hope and belonging. Many young men are internalising the idea that connection is out of reach forever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It continues: \u201cAcross this data, one theme stands out: Men are not rejecting relationships, but many are retreating from them or losing hope that they are possible. Financial pressures, social expectations, online disconnection, and the influence of gendered digital subcultures are combining to produce a landscape where intimacy feels risky, confusing, and often unattainable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"article-footer\">\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<div class=\"article-series\">\n<h4 class=\"heading\">More on these topics<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-series\"><a class=\"series\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\">Life &amp;
