Hi, I'm Rob Loveless, and I'm a jaded gay. At least I was, or maybe still am. I don't know, it really depends on the day you catch me. I'm getting ahead of myself, though.

Let me tell you a little bit more about me. I am a cisgender gay man. 28, blue eyes, 5'8" (5'9", if I'm wearing my Timbs). That's too much information, though. And let's get real.

So, I came out over seven years ago, bounced around from date to date, and I encountered it all. The good, bad, and ugly. Overall, I always felt lonely, whether I was dating someone who was emotionally distant or single and trying to date. I just always felt this sense of being alone. And looking back, I definitely had some codependent behaviors.

I've tried to be more cognizant of my dating behaviors and those of the men I date because, after years of bad dating patterns, I definitely became jaded and cynical. I've also been doing some work on balancing spirituality, meditation, and even trying to balance my religion with my sexuality, which is not always an easy thing.

So, I decided to start this podcast in an effort to essentially build a platform for like-minded gay men, raising awareness around the unique challenges we face compared to our straight counterparts regarding dating and also protecting our emotional well-being in spite of these unique challenges.

Full disclosure, this podcast isn't always going to be about work surrounding emotional well-being. It's basically going to be just a platform for talking through all things gay, whether it's pop culture, politics, or current events. I think these areas affect us as gay men in different ways, and I think talking through those is just as important in our journey of, you know, achieving emotional well-being.

After all, every day is all we have, so you've got to make your own happiness.
