Pitstop Survey Reveals 70% of Men are Affected by Self-Doubt and Pressures of Modern Masculinity
Pitstop is a maletech company dedicated to improving society by empowering men in their personal growth journey.
Men aged 25-34 years old reported the highest pressures related to societal expectations around careers and financial stability, with over 60% citing “imposter syndrome” as an obstacle in fulfilling their potential. Career success was defined differently across ages: younger men desired flexibility and enjoyment, while older respondents prioritized financial stability and personal fulfillment.
Work-life balance is a growing concern across all age groups. One 35-44 year old respondent commented, “this year I've had my most financially successful year, but I've had the least fun of my life” whilst another stated that “life has turned into constantly working”. Over 40% of men aged 45-54 reported high levels of stress due to financial responsibilities and career expectations.
Despite growing awareness, 54% of men remain hesitant to discuss mental health issues with their friends. “People will view me differently if I open up,” remarked one participant, aged 25-34. Anecdotes like this reflect a growing need for stigma-free spaces like the Pitstop forum where men can get support from others.
The study also revealed that younger men often grapple with issues of self-worth and confidence. “Men are always meant to just crack on and have no problems or issues,” commented one respondent in the 25-34 age group. Men in this demographic also expressed the greatest concerns about their relationship with social media, while those aged 65+ reported the highest levels of satisfaction.
Cultural and societal expectations as barriers, with themes like the “tough guy” persona and feelings of inadequacy emerged with older men, with many also voicing concerns about societal attitudes toward aging and the impact these perceptions have on career opportunities. Concerns about health and body confidence emerged as recurring themes across all age groups, with sleep health and dietary issues identified as the most significant challenges men want to address.
Emmett Kilduff, founder and Chairman of Pitstop, commented on the findings: "Life is challenging for both men and women. Our survey focused on men and the results underscore the complex challenges that they face today. It reaffirms the need for a solution like Pitstop. Our vision is to empower millions of men to take daily pitstops to fuel their personal growth.”
