How do I reach more men for user research?

I'm doing research into how couples experience & cope with the changes that come with parenthood, especially changes to their relationship and intimacy.

So far, a large majority of the research interviews that I've done are with women — what can I do to reach more men?

For example, this is the post that I shared in other online forums (including another group on IH):

"Did you know that over 70% of couples with kids feel less like lovers and more like roommates?

It’s not that the relationship has issues — it’s just that despite your best intentions, there are so many other things that take over at this stage of life and it’s hard to get the stars aligned for that "right time"...

If this resonated with you, I want to hear your stories.

Please comment or DM me. There is no selling here... just wanting to listen & gain insights into this seemingly universal part of parenthood!

Thank you"

@ the men in here: would you be open to having a chat with me after seeing this post? Why or why not?

And of course, if you are a parent reading this, hi :)

    reach women and ask to talk to their significant others?

    Go in "manly" channels on reddit?

      @Quinndawg Thank you for taking the time to share these suggestions! Would you have any suggestions for "manly" channels on reddit? We've found a lot related to relationships, marriage, parenting... even "husbandsof" type channels but not sure where to begin with the "manly" channels!

          @Quinndawg thanks :) We've found "manly" channels (that are not specifically focused on relationships) a bit intimidating in the past, especially posting with a topic like "sex & intimacy". We sometimes get harassed. So was hoping to see what channels you had personally found interesting for us to explore. But thank you again for the google search and we'll do a bit more digging!
