The fatherhood and loneliness survey

Most dads are carrying more than they talk about. We’re trying to measure exactly how much — and what would actually help.

This survey is anonymous, takes about 3 minutes, and is part of ongoing Every Dad Project research into the state of connection among fathers.

Why we’re asking

There’s plenty of data about male loneliness in general. There’s very little about dads specifically — what seasons hit hardest, what actually gets in the way of friendship, and where men feel they can be themselves.

Your answers help us build things that work: better meetups, better conversations, a better community. Not what we assume dads need — what dads actually said.

What you get back

When we publish findings, survey participants hear about it first. If you want the results, leave your email at the end (optional — the survey stays anonymous either way; your answers are never connected to your address).

Fair warning: some of the numbers will probably make you feel less alone. That’s kind of the point.
