State of Dating Volume III: Relearning Love

June 3rd, 2025

No gods, no masters, no lover above another. 

Relationship Anarchists are practicing a new, radical intimacy. In the latest volume of State of Dating, we dive into why Relationship Anarchy is fast gaining traction. 

Why do we stratify our personal relationships? Why does the class system of our personal lives look like a hierarchy of romantic relationships, family, friends, then everyone else? It’s all the more perplexing within the context of the loneliness epidemic (now endemic). The disintegration of our communities has put an unthinkable amount of pressure on romantic relationships to meet all of our emotional needs—an unsustainable prospect at best. 

The writing on the wall is clear: the old world is dying, the new world is joyfully being born, and it looks like Relationship Anarchy. 

In the third volume of State of Dating, expert Ruby Rare examines the growing community of Relationship Anarchists: those who believe in an egalitarian version of love. Do you believe another world is possible? Read on to catch a glimpse of it.
