I met Lori Gottlieb years ago now and I am a passionate fan. There are even rumors that I will be mentioned in an upcoming Atlantic article, “Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough,” which will be coming out in the March issue available online this Friday.Forget about me me me for a minute — this is about Lori. Lori was just on NPR today and will be on the Today Show tomorrow. Here’s an excerpt from her email:
“I’ll also be interviewed about the piece on The Today Show this Friday, 2/8 (NBC, between 8 & 8:30 a.m..). And NPR ran my commentary today that speaks to some of the points in the Atlantic story. You can hear that at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18751687.”
I think Lori is smashing and I am so happy to be a part of this article and this project. When the article comes online on Friday, I will reveal all of the awful details of my interview — what I said about love, marriage, etc. Egad! To quote Lori in her email:
“Thanks again for your great quotes and insight. Either we’re all really cynical, or we’re just depressingly reality-based, and true love, like religion, is indeed the opiate of the masses.”
Amen, sister! Anyway, if you’re not yet a Fan of Lori Gottlieb, please check out her Official Lori Gottlieb Web Site. Also, check out all the magazine articles she has done in the past:

hey Chris if you’re such a passionate fan, why not do the lady a favor and settle for HER?
We have never even been on a date. I think, maybe, my unilateral decision to marry Lori would be a little premature!
