When the idea of a 'Men's conference' was introduced, its major goal was not to bring men together for a cause but to take them away from girlfriends and wives. It is not a coincidence that the event is marked on Valentine's Day.

For years, the Men's Conference was nothing more than a social media trend and an imaginary event where men claim to escape to avoid Valentine's Day expectations such as gifting their spouses and partners.
