Walking Talking Men is a national movement for men to create real, lasting, local friendships in our own neighborhoods, one walk at a time.

We started out in December 2024 as a group of men in NYC, getting together each week in Central Park to walk and share what’s going on for us. Now, men across the country are gathering together for conversations and community in pursuit of developing real, lasting, local friendships in their own backyard.

Our walks give men a non-judgmental space to talk about our lives. Our purpose is to normalize every man having a community of local friendships in a society that often makes that difficult to find/maintain.

Making friends. That’s the whole deal,
start to finish

Some stuff to know about us

Walking Talking Men is less than a year old. What this means is, for 99.999% of men, there won’t be a walk in your neighborhood unless you resolve to start one. We started one and we LOVE our walks and the guys we’ve got now as friends. But know that Walking Talking Men is just a few of us working out of our kitchens. That said, we’re happy to do all we can to support your walk.

• Walking Talking Men is not therapy, coaching, or men’s work. 
• There are no fees or costs. We’re not recruiting for any organization. 
• No one is the expert. Each man is the expert on his own life. 
• No level of regular participation is required. 
• Each walk is owned by the men of that walk and sets its own rules, though we broadly suggest each walk consider the following:
  • No politics 
  • Be yourself
  • Respect confidentiality

Want to start your own walk? It’s easy to do.
Start by checking out our FAQ page.

First step? Announce that you’re starting a walk on Facebook, Next Door, Reddit, or any local social media platform. Ask interested men to email you for details (check out our resources page for how to word your posts or emails). Then go walk. If you’re starting a walk where you are, fill out our walk leader form and we’ll add you to our walks list. Got questions? Get in touch.
