What we’re about
I started this group after reading Robert Glover's No More Mr. Nice Guy and realizing just how much of it applied to me. I’ve been doing a lot of work to grow past some old habits, and one of the things I’ve realized I need more of is real male friendship — not just surface-level small talk, but connection, conversation, and support.
I’m still fairly new to Portland and didn’t know many people when I arrived, so this is me actively building the kind of community I want to be part of. This group meets every couple of weeks for coffee, breakfast, or dinner — easy, low-pressure ways to get together and talk about what’s going on in our lives. Nothing too formal, but we do try to go a little deeper than just work updates or the weather.
If you’re also working on yourself — or just looking for more meaningful connection with other men — you’re welcome here. Let’s lift each other up.
Note: Meetup's organizer subscription cost went up in late 2024, so I’ve enabled the fundraising option. If you find value in these events, any help covering those costs is appreciated.
