Gay Men Going Deeper

Flakey Gays: Why is Follow-Through So Hard?

Listen Later

The guy who constantly cancels plans, keeps things vague, or disappears when something better comes along — that’s flakiness: a pattern of not following through.

In a culture of endless options and shifting feelings, has unreliability quietly become normal? And what does that actually say about us?

In this off-the-cuff episode, we talk about:

  • What flakiness actually is — and what it isn’t
  • The difference between boundaries and excuses
  • Common avoidance patterns in dating and friendships
  • Why keeping your word is about more than just social plans
  • What it really means to be a reliable man

    • This isn’t just about the inconvenience of canceled plans. It’s about self-trust, stronger relationships, and the kind of man you’re practicing becoming.
