What is the Lost Boys Report discussed in this episode?

A March 2025 report from the UK think tank the Centre for Social Justice on how boys and young men are falling behind. The episode opens on it at about two minutes, then asks how this happened, looking at fatherless homes, whether boys are mentally weaker, and the education system.

Who are the guests alongside Steven Bartlett?

Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at NYU Stern who sits on the advisory council of the American Institute for Boys and Men, and Logan Ury, a behavioural scientist turned dating coach who is Director of Relationship Science at Hinge. Galloway wrote The Algebra of Happiness; Ury wrote How to Not Die Alone.

What does the episode say about young men and dating?

From around thirty minutes the guests look at dating statistics, dating standards and whether women really want emotionally attuned men. Ury offers a simple rule: if a first date was okay, always go on a second. Later they discuss teens who no longer know how to ask someone out in person.

Does it cover porn and loneliness?

Yes. From about one hour two minutes the conversation turns to the dangers of porn for young boys and how Galloway tries to help men struggling with porn addiction. Earlier, at around forty-eight minutes, it weighs up men's groups and the value of a supportive circle of friends, using Bartlett's own as an example.

Is there advice for parents of young boys?

Near the end, from roughly one hour fifty-three minutes, the guests give direct advice to parents raising boys. That is followed by what Galloway and Bartlett each had to unlearn about being a man, and a closing message aimed at the young men the report describes as lost.

Emotional Repression: Many men feel unable to share struggles due to fear of seeming weak.
Therapy Revelation: Suppressed emotions often resurface as anger when men avoid processing sadness directly.
Masculinity Code: Modern men lack a clear script or healthy framework for being emotionally whole.
Loneliness Crisis: A rising epidemic of male isolation is fueling depression, addiction, and suicide rates.
Support Systems: Connection, empathy, and small daily habits are vital for mental and emotional survival.
