Beyond the Six Pack: What Makes a Gay Relationship Last?

Emotional maturity, trust, and why biceps aren’t enough—with dating coach Lamont White

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Darren Main welcomes back dating coach Lamont White (aka The Gay Dating Coach) for a candid conversation about what it really takes to sustain a long-term gay relationship. They dive into the emotional skills that matter far more than a six-pack—like empathy, self-awareness, and trust—and why so many of us struggle to build lasting intimacy. Lamont also shares insights from his coaching and matchmaking work, his spicy weekly dating show “Shoot Your Shot Wednesday,” and his belief that emotional compatibility is the real key to queer love. Whether you're dating, partnered, or happily single, this episode will challenge and inspire you to show up more authentically in love.
