Think gay dating is hard? Try navigating it with a pocket full of terrible advice. In this episode of Hot Air, Joshua Robert dives into the 5 worst gay dating tips we’ve all heard—stuff passed down from friends, family, hookup culture, and social media that does more harm than good. From “you have to pick a role: top or bottom” to “gay relationships never last,” we unpack where this bad advice comes from, why it’s toxic, and how to reframe it into something that actually helps.

We’re talking about the unique trauma, psychology, and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, the impact of toxic masculinity and body image, and how generational baggage still shapes the way we date today. If you’ve ever been told to “sleep around before you settle down,” or felt pressured to live up to the so-called ideal gay body, this episode will hit home.

Expect sass, sarcasm, and some real talk about what healthy queer love can actually look like—plus practical ways to ditch the BS and start dating in a way that feels good for you.
