App Fatigue, Real Connection & Becoming Your Own Damn Matchmaker – with Tammy Shaklee

Tired of swiping? You’re not alone.

Tammy Shaklee—LGBTQ relationship expert and founder of H4M Matchmaking—is here to say what most of us already know: app fatigue is real, and no one’s finding true love buried in DMs and torso pics.

In this episode, Tammy and I talk about how real, lasting connection happens offline—and how you can start being your own matchmaker (without settling or apologizing for your standards).

Tammy’s introduced thousands of LGBTQ singles across the country and built a matchmaking empire focused on compatibility, not algorithms. We’re breaking down her signature method for dating success, especially for gay men who are ready to stop scrolling and start connecting.

You’ll learn:

  • Why dating apps are burning you out (and what to do instead)

  • How to create real connection in real life

  • Why being picky isn’t a flaw—it’s power
