The mission of this project is to expand our research on the 'philosophy of love' to the mainstream--YOU. The success of this collaborative project crucially depends on hearing from you. So whether a response to the questions, just a word or full-on rant, we'd love for you to join the conversation, thanks!

"The King of First Dates," feat., Michael Grant

Michael Grant rather candidly runs the gamut on the possible reasons why he's a quintessential commitment probe, to then find that they belie perhaps the actual underlying reason why. Michael is the founding editor of Synergyzine www.issuu.com/synergyzine

real talk

Alright, readers. We need your input! The first question posed to you is multiple-choice.

Which of the things that Michael bought up offers the best possible explanation of his commitment phobia? - (alphabetical order) 1. "Astrology" 2. "Childhood fears" 3. "Infantile needs" 4. Lack of fit with "pace/speed" 5. "Yin-yang"

The second question concerns the oft discrepancy in the use and implicatures that come with the idea of "work". I pose to you...

Can 'work' within a relationship be enjoyable or is it a burdensome aspect of it?


Drop those comments, and join the conversation! And we'll respond to you on Thursday.

  1. You aren't hard to date...I think you are incredibly intelligent and really informed about what you are looking for and want. That definitely could overwhelm and intimidate many girls out there that don't share the same intelligence that you possess...you are amazingly free spirited as well and that isn't a safe prospect through some eyes....I love you just the way you are!!

  2. To the last comment, I would say the issues that come up in the pursuit of true connection, the path that takes one through "just fucking" into the possibility of real relationship, is riddled with issues that need to be addressed. It is much easier to find folks with issues in love then folks who "have it just right". Though if you claim to be a person wise in the ways of love, I'm sure Richie would love to interview you. Otherwise, why rabble rabble so vehemently?

  3. Cause I care about ideas and don't want to see the word 'love' abused by attributing it to people who can't even even apply it to themselves. And it ain't just 'love', philosophy is at stake too!

  4. what happens when we don't find that girl at the intersection who is going at our same pace? at what point do we change gears slightly to meet someone in the middle? compromise can be a curse. compromise can be a blessing.

  5. Relax, don't try to overthink relationships....but learn from them, it's a fine line to know the difference. Slow is the best pace...it takes a long time to really know yourself much less some else." Actions speak louder than words" has been my moto for a long time now. You can get caught up in beautiful words and still one's actions will tell it all.
