Ross Mathews Talks About Dating Again After a Long-Term Relationship

Ross Mathews shows off his rainbow heels on the cover of Attitude magazine's October 2019 issue, on newsstands now.

Here's what the 39-year-old comedian shared with the mag:

On how US network executives are still wary of putting flamboyant gay men on TV: “Hollywood has been a wonderful and accepting place; California is a great place to live if you are a flamboyant gay person. But I do think that TV executives are still a little wary of putting really flamboyant gay men on television -- we’ve still got a long way to go. Just look at the landscape of TV. If I were able to tone it down a bit, maybe I’d be more successful than I am. But I just am not equipped with that ability [laughs].”

On why he recently called time on his 10-year relationship: “I feel Salvador will always be family, but the intimacy had run its course. It was a beautiful 10 years but it had a beginning, a middle and it had an end. We both kind of felt that if we didn’t wrap it up then, it would feel like a steak that had been on the grill for too long. It would just get tough.”

On dating again and embracing being 40: “I’m fascinated by how many interesting people there are in the world. I know it sounds stupid but I have never done this active dating thing and I’m shocked at the calibre of people I’ve been meeting. I think that has to do with confidence because let’s be frank here, I do not have a six pack, unless it’s a six pack of wine coolers.”

I read his memoir which is called “Man Up.” He writes about hating his gayness and his voice and being viciously bullied by both kids and adults starting when he was very young. It took a lot of effort for him to fight suicidal thoughts.

Now, as an adult, it’s other gay men who criticize him. It’s sad but he’s a TV star on the cover of a magazine and his haters are alone with their insecurities.

His being effeminate causes no concern to me. But his effeminacy has been taken to a whole new level for the sake of entertainment. Much of his on air personality is an affectation. There is no way he is like that when he's in private. That's the problem I have with him. His hyper queening makes many people look at him like some circus clown. And sadly they'll assume we're all like that. Entertaining though he may be, he is doing gays no favors with his shtick.
