Men’s Htht: Love & Expectations

Most men hit a wall in relationships because what we're taught about being successful men doesn't match what creates successful relationships.

Join us for an evidence-based, no-nonsense workshop/AMA that explores the disconnect between societal expectations and relationship reality. This isn't about lecturing or telling you how to be—it's about understanding the unspoken rules that actually govern connection and giving you practical tools to navigate them on your own terms.

What You'll Experience:

• Understand why expectations we have often conflict with relationship success
• Learn from how the bros identified their own internal narratives about being men in relationships
• Engage in guided activities that help you level up your unique personal expectations
• Connect with other men navigating similar challenges in a structured, confidential environment

This Event Is For You If:

• You're successful in other areas of life but find relationships confusing or frustrating
• You feel caught between being the man you were taught to be and the partner you want to be
• You're looking for straightforward, evidence-based approaches without the fluff
• You want to connect with others facing similar challenges in a space that respects your experience

What Makes This Different:

This isn't therapy or a lecture—it's a practical exploration backed by relational science and facilitated by men with lived experience. We focus on understanding patterns rather than fixing individuals, and we believe that with the right information, men can make their own informed choices about how to approach relationships.

Space is limited to 30 men to ensure quality interaction with the three guys from Bros Before Woes!

• $35 for one (excluding fees)
• $60 for two (bring your own bro)

Join our supportive community for an evening of authentic sharing and meaningful connections! 🤝

About HTHT:

HTHT provides safe spaces for our community to have heart-to-heart conversations about relationships. We create opportunities for individuals to learn evidence-based relational skills and receive guidance from experts or individuals with lived experience, empowering them to confidently navigate every stage and challenge of relationships.

About Bros Before Woes:

Bros Before Woes was formed to talk about the messages that men (and boys) are told, and how we can improve the messages we tell ourselves.

We hope to build up a tribe where it's ok for you to reach out before you crash out, and where it's ok to throw your frustration against a wall of bros who will help walk you through it.
