Passing the Advice Torch to a New Generation & Gender

November 22, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
ComprehensiveAdvice.com welcomes Dear Matthew to its growing family of advice columns.

Dear Abby and Ann Landers have been staples of American society for 50 years and are still found in thousands of newspapers. In this digital age, it's time to pass the advice torch to a new generation - meet Dear Matthew. Other columnists are said to have "kept up" with the modern world; Matthew grew up in it. He handles every question with sharp analysis, acerbic wit, and old-fashioned common sense delivered in a thoroughly modern, take-no-prisoners style. Readers count on him for logical, honest, and heartfelt answers given with their best interests in mind. Get ready, Dr. Phil, this is just the beginning: someone's about to give you a run for your money…people call him Dear Matthew.

Like most classic advice columnists that millions know and love, Matthew doesn’t have a formal degree in Psychiatry. (However, he does have one in Education and Communications.) He simply has the uncanny ability to get to the heart of matters when dealing with matters of the heart and other assorted issues that cause people to reach out for assistance. When Matthew reads a message from someone requesting his help, he reacts sympathetically and analytically at the same time. This rare gift allows him to simultaneously acknowledge and deal with advice seekers’ feelings while also helping them find logical and rational choices to improve their situations.

Matthew helps readers deal with a variety of topics. There are the heavy ones like marital infidelity and estranged family members as well as the light ones like nosy neighbors and annoying roommates. Some readers want to share a tip about getting through life that they have picked up along the way while others just want to know that someone will listen to their issues and be on their side. The readers become like an extended family when they write in to support particular advice or even to take Mathew to task if they think they can do better. It’s all part of what makes Dear Matthew an instant classic.

Writer Matthew W. Grant, founder of ComprehensiveAdvice.com, says, “Though I love all the columns on the website, Dear Matthew is my favorite and it darn well should be since it carries my byline!”
