A Real Conversation About Modern Gay Dating

Let’s face it — dating as a single gay man in 2026 isn’t easy. Between swipe culture, emotional burnout, and a shrinking long-term-relationship pool, genuine connection takes more than luck.

That’s why Bond isn’t for everyone. Expect real talk, hard truths, and deep reflection — mixed with empathy, humor, and Nick’s no-nonsense coaching style. From seasoned professionals to newly out men, from single fathers to Gen Z dreamers — this course is for every gay man ready to evolve his approach.

Connection Beyond the Course

You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with other men on similar journeys — sharing stories, breakthroughs, and perhaps forming unexpected bonds. While Bond isn’t a speed-dating event, many participants walk away with new friendships… and sometimes, something even deeper.
