As gay men, we may experience complexities surrounding modern dating and societal pressures that often place unrealistic expectations of romantic and personal fulfillment. So when we think we’ve found “The One,” what do we do when they break up with us, telling us that we’re only seventy percent of what they need…while having sex?
In this episode, author Jonathan Lee joins us to discuss his memoir, 40 Single Gay, which explores his personal journey of navigating love, relationships, and self-discovery as a gay man entering his forties.

His debut novel, 40 Single Gay, a coming of age memoir, comically depicts his 40th year following a break-up one week before his birthday, and comes to terms with this chapter in his life whilst he unpicks his failed relationships, re-enters the world of dating and one night stands before realizing the important things in life. He’s a people watcher, a recovering people pleaser, and believes we all have the ability for change and development to live a rich and fulfilled life.
