My Credentials

In order to save us all some time, I’ve decided to give you the bottom line right here, right now.  Right at the top.  I have absolutely no credentials to be dispensing advice.  I have not performed research, I do not study relationships, and I haven’t been in many (or any) truly serious relationships.

If you’re still reading, odds are good that you are really looking for advice.  What I mean by really looking is that you have sought advice before, but it hasn’t done it for you.  That’s fairly common as we seek advice from the wrong places.  Maybe what others have been telling you just doesn’t seem real or maybe it’s just not what you want to hear.  All I can offer you is my perspective.  I bring a unique perspective to the table that you will not often find and very rarely will be presented to you by your family, friends, or therapist.  I am blunt, but I am honest.

Odds are you will instinctively disagree with what I say.  I am coming from a completely rational point of view – needless to say, not something endorsed in the emotional baggage of relationships.  I believe that human beings are rational creatures that become swayed by their emotions.  As a fellow human being, I too am swayed by my emotions.  However unlike your family, friends, or therapist; I do not have anything vested in your happiness.  Like Morpheus offering a life changing decision to Neo, I do not promise you happiness; only the truth as I see it.

However, this isn’t pseudo-psychology babble either.  I will backup all of my claims with evidence or theory that supports it.  I highly encourage you to explore these additional sources to get a fuller, richer answer.  But once again, to place the bottom line where bottom lines belong:

I am just some guy with an opinion.  Whether you use it or not is your decision and yours alone.  Thus any consequences are solely your responsibility.  I am not and will not take responsibility for any actions other than my own.
