As the publisher of The Good Men Project Magazine, I thought a two minute synopsis of where we’re at with the magazine was in order. It’s been an awesome month since we launched.

What does it mean to be a good man? And do men even want to entertain that question? Behold…

The Good Men Project

We went live on June 1, confident that the world needed a new kind of men’s magazine—one that dares talk about “the inner lives” of men.
What makes us different? We talk about sex without “selling sex.” We publish daddy bloggers, Army Lieutenants, and a transgender FTM who wants desperately to be a good man. We celebrate women (which may be why we’ve been so popular with them), and we publish women. We talk about fathers and sons without resorting to predictable clichés. We publish compelling features about teen suicide, addiction, and the death penalty. And we tackle the bad-man hype that seems to be everywhere these days.

(We also laugh. A lot. Because men are funny creatures who accidentally set their girlfriend’s hair on fire.)

Can a men’s magazine that takes men’s issues seriously prosper? Do men want to read about what it means to be a good man? We’re banking on it. And then banking on it some more. And then giving a substantial portion of our proceeds to organizations that help at-risk boys through The Good Men Foundation.

Questions? Please ask. After all, it’s our goal to start a nationwide discussion around these issues.

(Quick shout-out to Good Men Project Magazine editor-at-large Benoit Denizet-Lewis, for the copy above and most of all the great things around the magazine in general.)
