Why does everyone ghost? Why do dating apps feel like a hamster wheel? And is there still a way to find real, lasting love in the LGBTQ+ community?

Zach sits down with Dr. Frankie Bashan, clinical psychologist, certified sex therapist, and founder of Little Gay Book, one of the nation's leading LGBTQ+ matchmaking agencies. Since 2009, Dr. Frankie has combined her psychology training with a lifelong knack for setting people up, building a matchmaking service with an 80–85% success rate.

They get real about the state of modern dating: ghosting, gamified apps, AI-filtered photos, scam profiles pushing you to WhatsApp, and why so many people keep swiping in search of someone "a little bit better." Dr. Frankie shares how the matchmaking process actually works, why feedback within 24 hours changes everything, her take on open relationships and polyamory, and the most meaningful transformations she's seen in her sex therapy practice.
