I have launched an effort locally here in Denver to host an open discussion on dating. My questionnaire leading up to this announcement has been a rousing success and I’m now ready to assemble a group of women for the round table.

I’ve been conducting a survey online that has been well received by the women of Denver. I must admit, I’m taken aback by the number of women who took the time to respond to the questions with great detail and insight. So…

…It’s time for round two of my experiment. I enjoy learning about people, hence my desire to assemble a group of women for a round table discussion. Why do this? I want to intimately learn about how women in Denver approach dating. I want to learn about your fears, issues, hesitations, disappointments, etc.

Why should I care about these things? I want to have a better understanding of modern day women, put to bed any assumptions that might be wrong and maybe inspire a few women to get on board to make dating better for everyone.

If you’re game, drop me a line and I’ll keep you updated about the first meeting. For the first meeting, I will be the only male present. Keep in mind that this isn’t about meeting a mate — It’s a journey to clarity and understanding that we’ll all benefit from going forward.

It’s my own personal mission to tear down the walls which separate men and women from realizing healthy interaction and fulfilling relationships.

Purpose of the round table

Reality: Our society is broken on many levels. For the first few sessions, I will guide the round table with a series of Q&A sessions designed around how women date, their issues, expectations, disappointments, etc. This is a new and unique approach to dating in that we have an open, non-threatening, informative and inspiring platform from which to learn and prosper.

I am incredibly excited about this development. The round table will feature a diverse set of women of all age groups, professions, etc. I am moving quickly to assemble the first meeting (which could occur by early December) so please contact me to add your name to the list!

Note: As much as I wish for every post to be bright and cheery, I too am human and this is my primary outlet for releasing my thoughts into the universe.

Everyday, I carry a heavy burden upon my shoulders: The knowledge of knowing how life could be. For years, I have sought out individuals who might understand the hodgepodge of details floating around my brain, but so far, I haven’t. What I’ve so long desired is an outlet of understanding and an opportunity to be understood.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve never lived a simple life: It was filled with complex and uncommon thoughts. I analyzed a lot of things, asked myself a lot of questions and attempted to understand my surroundings and the behavior of human beings. There were many things I observed, witnessed and experienced over the years which led to my desperate pursuit of understanding.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of understanding in others, I’ve felt largely isolated for many years. There’s no one in my life that I can speak to about the social issues which trouble me most. And, when I attempt to speak about them, people either draw a blank stare — or are literally ready to fight me.

There are times I daydream about disappearing from society and taking a hiatus for a few months to rejuvenate and regress my frustration — Which seems to occur more frequently these days. It pains me to see the things I do on a daily basis, such as a society which accepts knowledge that has been passed on from generation to generation.

Let it be known that I have no desire to participate in this warped perception of life. There are times where I don’t want to leave home, simply because I don’t always enjoy subjecting myself to a world that’s controlled from the “top down.” However, I have to live, do the things I enjoy and find ways to suppress my frustration with the world at large — It’s not always easy.

While I do not expect a perfect world, I do believe we can achieve much more as human beings if we tried hard enough. We don’t have to love everyone, but we can at least evolve to a level of understanding and enlightenment from which we all can benefit. I continue to dream about this new world, and if there’s ever another life beyond the present, I might eventually have the chance to experience it.

Perhaps one day, I’ll meet someone that will be my equal in thought. I look forward to the conversation.
