The Rich Roll Podcast · What Happened To The Vegan Movement? Rich & Simon Hill On The Rise & Fall Of Plant-Based Eating · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

I think young men today are really struggling with what is masculinity and why is it so hard for them to find a partner, to be a good prospect in the dating market.

And they're looking at ways to enhance their relationship

dating success their viability in the dating market right and looking back to the traditional ideals to do that thinking that it's it's like to be the provider and the protector it's things like eating more meat and eating less soy foods but to your point i actually think

Things like physical fitness are important for initial attraction.

But in terms of long term mating, when we use the words like strength and being a provider,

a lot of it is actually to do with your emotional capacity and so much of the conversation right now around how to become more masculine i believe is over indexing on these kind of external signals like eating more meat instead of being the signal

To be a provider and to create safety requires a lot of things we've been speaking about.

Can you sit with your friend or your partner and listen to something that they've been through and not make it about you and understand and show them that you understand so they feel seen and not be defensive or reactive.

So if I was speaking to a 20-year-old dude right now who was like, hey,

let's just simplify this because sometimes this language can seem a little intellectual he was he just wanted to make himself a a more viable prospect yes go out and get fit you know focus on the physical your physical fitness focus on having purpose and drive but those things are almost commoditized like everyone's doing that the biggest leverage is the emotional capacity which is what really provides the safety

for the partner is are you emotionally equipped to create that space where she feels heard and seen and you're not reactive and defensive.

And so to kind of bring this back 360, I just think that a lot of the cultural conversation right now around what does it mean to be a man and what can you do right now to be more masculine?

is slightly distorted.

And sometimes those things that I've just explained there can seem kind of soft and feminine or emasculating in and of themselves.

But I don't think we have to look at them that way.

I think sharpening your ability to listen and to receive feedback

and not be defensive and not always wanna be right.

I actually see that as a skill that's very similar to going into the gym every day.

And in that process, you're going to become...

And it doesn't matter what you're eating.
