Sex Is Cheap. Commitment Isn’t.

For generations, sex was treated as one of the highest-value commodities in the dating marketplace. Men were often expected to exchange commitment, marriage, protection, provision, and long-term responsibility in order to gain sexual access. But in today’s world of dating apps, casual hookups, and widespread birth control, many argue that the “price” of sex has dramatically fallen.

In this meetup, we’ll explore the provocative claim that this shift may not be entirely bad.

We’ll discuss how changes in modern dating have altered the balance between sex, commitment, and value — and whether men and women are now being forced to bring different qualities to the table. Topics include the devaluation of sex, the rising value of male commitment, why many men feel less motivated to pursue traditional milestones, and why some women struggle to secure commitment from high-value partners despite professional or financial success.

We’ll also debate controversial questions:

• Has casual sex exposed the true “market value” of sexual access?
• Did older generations stay together out of love — or necessity?
• Are modern men underperforming because incentives have changed?
• What qualities actually matter when it comes to long-term commitment?
• Is the current dating market creating healthier relationships — or destroying them?

This will be a candid, challenging, and nuanced discussion about attraction, commitment, value, and the changing economics of modern relationships. Expect strong opinions, thoughtful debate, and plenty of uncomfortable questions.

Join us every Wednesday at 6:00 PM for our weekly Men's Group meeting! This is an opportunity to connect with like-minded men and engage in conversations about topics that are important to us.

During the first hour of the meeting, we'll break into small groups to check-in with each other. This is a chance to share what's been going on in your life and get support from your fellow group members. We believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone can feel comfortable sharing.

For the second half of the meeting, we'll have a topic of discussion that focuses on masculinity, success, relationships, dating, health, finance and what it takes to be an integrated man in todays world. We encourage all members to participate and share their thoughts and experiences.

If it's your first time attending, don't worry! Just introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself and what brings you to the group.

We have a few guidelines to ensure that everyone has a positive experience. Please silence your phone to respect others during check-ins or when someone is presenting. Additionally, we ask that you order food or drink from the club to compensate for our use of the space.

Feel free to come early and socialize before the meeting. Most weeks, a few guys are there by 5:30. We usually meet upstairs, but depending on circumstances, we may be in a different part of the club.

We look forward to seeing you there and building a supportive community of men!
