I’ve been feeling really lonely lately so I’ve been trying to find any romance books to distract me.

However, the only books with male heterosexual protagonists I can find are either sports romances or have “alpha male” protagonists.

Are there any books where the main character is nerdier and more relatable?

    Goes further than that, imo. Toxic masculinity can also be subtle. It doesn’t need to be a chest-beating guy. Besides trying to hold a death-grip on your emotions, sinking yourself into whatever society holds to be manly, I can’t really think of an example rn, I’ve just woken up.

      If that is so, I wish you a very pleasant day!
