I am not afraid of my scars. I am honest about my ignorance. 

This Part 2 with Socrates is a reckoning of my lack of relationship success. And way more. It’s an exploration of virtue and attraction, of fulfillment and of the quest to meet a partner that is both virtuous and attractive. Also, it is about the quest to make myself more virtuous and attractive. Enjoy. Any feedback can be sent to me at [email protected]

This is the first of a two-part interview with Socrates (@manningupsmart on Twitter), one of the true defenders of relationships in an era that makes them so hard to keep. We talk masculinity, feminism, manosphere, virtue, attraction and much more. There is a high degree of Jordan Peterson-style riffing aloud as I sort out my thoughts on these matters, as well as my own life experiences, shortly after getting healthier from a long-term medical condition. Socrates is an excellent guide. His new book, The Map, is now available at Amazon and is recommended reading.

I am in the unusual position of loving people who identify as feminists, while being saddened by some of the more extreme, anti-family, anti-male clickbait and rhetoric out there in the media that declares itself feminist. What a waste. I myself use the term feminism and feminist in perhaps too blanket a fashion a couple of times, though Socrates and I clarify this point. 

I want this to be a conversation that is ongoing. I want to interview a third-wave feminist in good faith within the next month or two. I think that dialogue and sunlight are the ways forward. I am always stunned by what we have in common and what problems that we can navigate and solve.

Socrates lays out a vivid picture of the road ahead, and offers healthy relationships as a way forward.

This is the funniest episode thus far. Kyle King aka K-Dos has a unique way of looking at the world. Intelligent, humorous and impish, K-Dos takes chances for his art. He has a refreshing perspective on many topics. We talk the economics of the rise of WWE in the 1980s, growing up a wrestling fan from birth, and the power and glory of Ralphus. You don't need to like wrestling to appreciate K-Dos' intellect and to laugh your ass off. Check us out on iTunes, Android, and Spotify, or at mikekanecast.libsyn.com! Please leave a review! It helps me improve the show! Also, email me with any questions or suggestions at [email protected].

Michael recognizes that his situation may not be sufficiently representative to be helpful.
