F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, Melbourne, London, Lisbon, to Mexico City, and is now coming to Buenos Aires for the first season! 😎
📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is a one-of-a-kind social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also just a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for an evening of games, talks, and connections with friends you haven’t met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you have been in Buenos Aires every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. 🙌
📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. Don't worry, nothing too awkward! After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome our own question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to!

☝️ when someone asks you ‘What makes you weird?’

💛 WHAT THEY SAY
🗣 “Great way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - Matthias, Berlin
🗣 “This is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya, Medellin
🗣 “I loved F*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda, London
🗣 “It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other.” - Sara, Medellin
🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz, Austin

Our story started in Berlin back in 2019 out of the frustration of going to unfulfilling (and incredibly boring) meetups in the city! Now, there are chapters in Vancouver, Lisbon, London, and Mexico City. More coming soon. 😎 🌎
