Dear Readers,
The New York Times is working on a forthcoming long-form story examining male loneliness, romantic exclusion, and the experiences of men who identify with or are associated with the “incel” label.
We are seeking first-person perspectives from individuals willing to share their personal experiences, beliefs, frustrations, or reflections — in their own words. Our goal is to better understand a community that is often discussed in public discourse but rarely heard from directly.
All submissions will be read by Charley Locke, a contributing editor for The New York Times Magazine. If you would like to contribute, you may do so at the link below:
We welcome thoughtful, candid, and good-faith responses. Selected insights may help inform a broader national conversation about isolation, masculinity, relationships, and social belonging.
If you choose to participate, please include that you learned about this request through Incels.is.
Thank you for your time and your perspective.
