MenWalking - In-person, New York, NY

For men to walk, talk, and connect with other men.

Why Walking Talking Men?

The physical health consequences of poor or insufficient connection among men include a 29% increased risk of heart disease, a 32% increased risk of stroke, and a 50% increased risk of developing dementia for older adults. Additionally, lacking social connection increases risk of premature death by more than 60%. (U.S. Surgeon General Advisory.)

1 in 5 men said they had gotten emotional support from a friend in the past week, compared with 4 in 10 women. (Survey Center on American Life.)

We’re taking one small step for men to connect with other men.

What?

Walk and talk for one hour, once a week, with men. Leave earbuds at home to be present with other men.

Where?

Find a small group of men, introduce yourself, walk, and talk.

What happens after each walk?

Anything you want. Go for coffee with a new connection. Stay to connect more deeply. Go home. It’s up to you.
