Do you want to be in with a chance of dating Queer Eye’s Karamo Brown? Well don’t send him photos of your dick or ass as a way to open up a conversation!
Brown, 39, chatted with Us Weekly yesterday about dating again after splitting from his fiancé, producer Ian Jordan, 48. The men had been together for ten years but Brown recently revealed they split around four months ago. He said that spending a concentrated amount of time together during the early days of the pandemic had led him to re-consider their relationship.

Brown is now open to dating but told the magazine that he’s been surprised by some of the messages he’s been receiving.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Not to be crude or anything, [but] sending inappropriate pics is not a way to ever engage with someone. That’s not universal for ‘hello,’” he said. “I don’t know why guys think that’s an appropriate thing to do. So, it’s like, please keep it respectful. You know what I mean?”
He’s also not a fan of receiving Cardi B lyrics.
“The other day, I got someone who sent me Cardi B lyrics. … They literally sent me Cardi B lyrics for her new song and was like, ‘Hey, can we date?’ And I was like, ‘Why do you think this would be me? Like, me? You think I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, great. Cardi B lyrics. Yes, let’s date.’”
Instead of the hassle of sorting men out via apps, Brown said he’d love to the first gay Bachelor on the TV franchise.
“We can go for it. Let’s try it. I would … Why not?” he said. “Let me tell you something: what I’ve learned right now — and I tweeted this the other day — is that dating is a mess.”
That tweet revealed the Cardi B lyrics he’d been sent was for her latest single, ‘WAP’, which stands for ‘Wet Ass Pussy’.
Single life is crazy… the direct messages I get. Like WTF. So, if you’re wondering – sending me Cardi B lyrics from WAP does not get my attention in a positive way. Love the song but I want to do NONE of the things they rap about in that song to you or anyone else. Lol pic.twitter.com/VhGS8dkVTV

Faced with this barrage of sexual messaging, Brown said being on the Bachelor would suit him perfectly.
“So, if I could just get a whole bunch of great guys in one room and just to, like, go through, sign me up.”

Brown, who has two sons aged 23 and 20, confirmed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September about his split from Jordan.
“We were distracted by so much — with the kids, and our careers — that during that time, I had to really say, ‘How is our communication? How are other parts of our lives? Are we growing in the same place?’
“We went to virtual counseling, we did a lot of things,” he explained. “But eventually, I was like, this is a moment where I need to decide, is my happiness important? And once I made that decision, I said, you know, we are going to have to break up.”

If you don’t want d*ck pix, don’t be on a service where that is possible/likely?
Grindr: Get off – you know that’s what you’ll get

Kamaro must keep himself relevant…he is really trying to push the Gay Bachelor idea…no one wants to see him…he has been everywhere and well he is tired….
After 10 years and you could not marry but instead kept announcing, postposing, etc…that shows Kamaro enjoys the attention more than anything else…

Does he know what dating is? Being with someone for 10 years and as soon as you are forced to spend time with them you break up? Gay bachelor would be cool but they are never gonna pick some 40 year old queen….Have they ever had a straight bachelor his age?
The_Roxxtar
Yes they have had late thirties – 40 year olds on the straight version.

Pretty sure of himself… I’d suggest you stop thinking your all that and act more humble. You “maybe ” get some one proper then. ass hole

Again… Karamo who…????? Nobody cares. He’s a self righteous piece of crap. Stop making him “news”.

Agree.

I hate to say this about another gay black man but, he seems very high maintenance. I can’t image too many men are gonna put up with him. I often lust after the lifestyles of these so called” picture-perfect” cookie cutter gay couples on social media. One just never knows what people are going through. We are all human and need love. I certainly hope I am wrong and he finds love again. However, shouldn’t he take some time and reflect on himself before he jumps back in the pool so quickly?
decampbell
No thanks. Can’t stand this guy. His piss-poor attitude and attitudes are very off-putting. I agree with toddlicious: he’s self righteous.

Maybe he can date Sean Spicer since he was so eager to tell us all what a great guy Sean was when they were on Dancing with the Stars together.
