Another “Failed” Relationship (Navigating Gay Dating)

Описание: In this episode Matt speaks with Indie Author and Counselor, Jonathan Lee about dating as a gay man. Jonathan wrote his debut book 40 Single Gay where he over-shares his experience in the hostile gay dating world and what he learned about himself through the process. Matt and Jonathan unpack everything from hookup culture and non-monogamy, to intimacy and how to get our emotional needs met as gay men.

Here are some of the concepts they explored in this episode:

What is your experience of dating in the gay community?
Societal pressures to be in a relationship
Hostile world of dating
Baggage and insecurity from past relationships
The investment of time and energy it takes to date
The epidemic of intimacy avoidance in our community
Reframing failed relationships
Doing our inner work

If you find yourself lonely and frustrated with the gay dating scene and hook up apps, this episode may be just what you need.

GAY MEN'S BROTHERHOOD:
This is a conscious community for gay men to connect with each other on the journey of healing from shame and becoming more authentic and aligned to their truth. We aim to offer inspiration, support, connection, healing, and a safe space to show up just as you are. Our vision for the members is to learn to feel more comfortable showing up vulnerably so deeper intimacy can be established in our community. We dream of a gay community where everyone can feel more connected to one another in more ways than just superficial and we can feel less lonely and have deeper connections to one another.
