One of the reasons by women disproportionately end relationships is that they don't have to work for the relationships they have. Whereas most women make men work for sex, most men do not make women work for commitment: they hand it to them on a silver platter lest they jeopardize the sexual opportunity. Like many things in life, it's easy come, easy go. If you want a woman to fight for her relationship, then you have to make her work for it.

I've listened to a lot of your videos, and although I'm not a therapist I have done lots of counseling with guys on masculinity and life. (The Way of the Superior Man is a great guide.) I have to say, this is one of THE MOST VALUABLE videos you have ever done. Simple. Clear. Powerful. And Foundational. Great job sir!
yeah right....this advice will definitely bring you more men into your therapy, as they all would have been broken up by their gf/spouse with this attitude.
@@psychacks it’s actually because the woman isn’t really physically attracted the man or the man isn’t masculine. Most women leave because they wanted to be married and once they realize the attraction doesn’t (usually) grow they’re ready to look for an escape route.
@@tigre9271 That's the problem tho. Men, from the ugly to chads, are inflating the egos of all of these women. Chads inflate their ego by simply spending time with chicks below their match. And simps are giving their income to OF fans and forfeiting their worth in an ATTEMPT at poon. Just compare it to the job market... What do you think importing desperate people with lower standards does to overall wages that employers are willing to pay? It's the same thing. The classic (Which I personally see in my own search) entry-level jobs asking for experience. It's real. Why? Because we got several people, namely people with no-career specific degrees like a liberal arts degree, inflating the market.
@@BetterLoveMovement read Orion’s book, read Esther Vilar’s book and just get on with life. Once you realize what they are they’re not that difficult and pretty easy to navigate.
@@BetterLoveMovementThis is why it’s so important for men to never let themselves go and increase their value over time as much as possible. What she said is correct fellas, most men don’t have that many options, which is why the woman treat them the way they do. In their minds, you’re not that attractive anyway you should be grateful for even breathing the same air as them. As an average dude avoid relationships as much as you can. They’re only worth it when you rise above all means and have full control over how the relationship operates.💯
@@BetterLoveMovement You'd be surprised how excitingly most women react to being judged and measured if you do it cool and playful. But a guy who thinks he has nothing and is afraid will have no idea.
One time I was fishing from shore when I accidentally slipped and fell in. After I got back out, dripping wet, a friend saw me and said, "You know you're not supposed to go in after them, right?" 😅
Yes and caring is inversely proportional to how many other options one has. Dr. Tarraban says commitment is more valuable than sex - no... Some men's commitment is. Mark Zuckerberg'd commitment is extremely valuable, more valuable than any one woman's offer of sex could ever be. The 5'2 bus boy who lives in a rooming house probably couldn't give away commitment from free. Women want commitment very very much but they all ONLY desire it from a very small group of guys. Of course most end up settling for guys outside that pool of desirable men but they do so reluctantly and they certainly aren't going to try hard for it.
Don't chase women. Just be yourself, and chase your goals. I also recommend reading first date playbook: a step by step guide to a great start. It will help you to understand how women think, and you will have some tricks up your sleeve if things don't go as planned.
This video was what I needed. My girlfriend is exactly as you say. I am doing all the work and she doesn’t work for it or care. This video was the final thing I needed to decide to end it!
Where were you when I was hitting puberty Dr Orion? This is the best long form explanation of "do not chase, attract." Definitely plugging my future children to this channel for early dating advice so they don't make the mistakes I did.
@@VineOfConsciousness I haven't finished that one yet but I remember reading that book was one of the mind opening of helping me realize and stop being "nice guy".
In many (most?) species, it is the males that attract the females. Females go for the one to whom they're attracted; Then the rest is easy for the males. But if she's a dork, let her be a dork to someone else, gladly.
*When you don’t give everything too easily, it naturally builds respect and intrigue. It’s not about playing hard to get, but about maintaining your own standards and boundaries.*
A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white..
@@TrentReeves-c2k If you want something that is lasting, people will eventually sniff out games, don't play them. Total honesty/vulnerability is the only way, so one ought to pick a partner that brings that sort of honesty/vulnerability as well. End arguments to understand and not fight just to be labeled as the one who was right. =) =) =)
There's a book called FlirtoSphere Seduction, and it talks from body language and conversaton starters to dark mind tricks and flirting through texts, it's the real deal
I am an older Man who has been living life this way since my divorce 3 years ago. I am approached by women, more now, than in my complete lifetime. I am the one breaking it off with women, when they constantly break the ground rules, established at the beginning. I have none of the 6s’ yet women are drawn to me. I have had a beautiful girlfriend, 16 years junior, for the last 14 months (who attracts many men) and she is scared to death of loosing me. I agree with this video as it pertains to my life. What I tell my youngest Son is to use his 20s to build himself up and to not worry about women. Time is on your side. Every year new women become adults and there is always hope that newer generations will be better prospects for relationships. Time is on the side of Men… Not the same for Women. If you are a young Man, please hang in there, life has the potential to improve for you. Thank you for the awesome video.
Sounds like terrible advice to young m4n to set them up for failure. Is this a strategy old m4n employ to get young women so that younger men won’t compete? 😂
There is a lady I fancied, and I asked her if she wanted to hang out this weekend. She went quiet on Friday and Saturday. I know what this means. You are not her first option. Sunday evening, she sends me a text asking how my weekend was? I said every weekend is awesome and send he photos of us (another lady and I) feeding elephants. She thought I was desperate and would hang around moping for her. She didn't realize there were plenty of other people waiting to take her spot. Now the power has shifted, and she wants in on some of the action. Now she will work hard to become my first option again. Why they make life difficult for themselves, I don't know. It is easy once you figure them out.
After that behaviour, she would be automatically disqualified from the running for first option / serious gf category. She belongs in the perma side chick category.
@@rachidC3546 Patrice O'Neal, a comedian who passed away in 2011 at only 41 from tumultuous health issues, but the man knew how to play women like a casino. Look up his bit "a series of holes." I've never seen a crowd of women baited and owned harder in my life.
This video recalls the phrase "Everyone needs skin in the game". If you find a potential girlfriend not putting any effort into keeping the relationship growing then don't try to fix it. You've been told enough to make a decision. Walk away. It wasn't going to work out. You just saved yourself time and money.
As I watch this enthralling video, it resurrects the painful memories of my recent breakup a relationship of four years that ended just three months ago. The woman who meant everything to me decided to leave, plunging me into a vortex of heartache. Despite my desperate attempts to reconcile, I find myself trapped in a cycle of frustration and longing, unable to envision a life without her. Despite my efforts to move forward, I find solace in expressing my lingering affection for her here .
Releasing your grip on someone you deeply care about can be a formidable challenge. I found myself in a comparable predicament when my 7 year relationship came to an end. I exhausted every avenue to reunite with him, eventually turning to a spiritual advisor for guidance, whose intervention bring us back.
"The more expensive it is to her, the valuable she perceive it to be and the more she will desire it; all things being equal" Value is directly proportional to keeping it
@@Ratclan As someone who studies psychology, she will have a mental breakdown months from now. She is putting in the effort she wants from you and if you fail to give it she may also get revenge later. Do not play these power games with women.
If you chase you lose. When you focus on yourself and attract them to you, you win. Only get with women who really want you. Essentially king treatment. If she treats you like that she will fight anyone or anything to keep you. All you got to do is be your best version of yourself. Be alone for a bit to make yourself attractive.
Haha, kinda funny, I always say the man has to pursue the woman. The woman if she has to chase, she will feel less valuable and there always will be a question if she’s just a placeholder for his most desired choice.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I was giving my best time and effort to her with no effort in return. Time to move on even if I thought she was the one for me.
Crazy how he brings up Patrice O’Neal in this video. I’ve been binge watching his Black Philip episodes on TH-cam this week. All his content is still accurate to this day.
She has to have genuine burning desire for you. And the only way she is going to have desire for you is if you have value, e.g. good looks (genetic value), good money (resource value), good emotional connection (psychological value), and good lifestyle/frame (social status value). Mate attraction and retention boils down to value.
What’s sad is when you realize that most men are not physically attractive so therefore most of them will never receive optimal treatment in their lifetime. Most women are hypergamous, even average women don’t want average dude. Dudes in general need to start spending their money on pros who’ll get the job done instead of constantly chasing and humiliating themselves trying to compromise with women who don’t even find them in the first place. Heck, as an attractive dude that’s the path I’m taking when my wheels fall off and I can’t pull anymore😂 put your pride aside fellas, get your needs met on the low with high quality escorts. You’ll save more money and be more satisfied over time.💯
It makes so much sense. What is easily attained is hardly appreciated. Also, there has to be vested interest on both sides. If interest is not mutual, it doesn’t stand a chance.
Most women have no interest in most men. All but the top men are in the much weaker negotiating position, for anything. What good is signalling to women "you're going to have to work to get me to commit", if the all the women will just think "pfft, drop dead, idiot"?
While dating in my 40's after divorce, I stumbled upon this truth. My first wife didn't have to work at all for me. But I learned to lay down rules and boundaries when I was dating. The women that didn't respect that, I turned loose. I just kept having fun dating. I soon became more desirable then I should have been in the singles social circles in my area. And when a woman that was honestly a good fit for me wanted a relationship, I kept turning her down. I was having too much fun dating. She pursued me for almost a year before I finally decided to "try" a committed relationship with her. Eventually I decided she was worth marrying. We're married 4 years now and she takes responsibility for what she does poorly in the relationship. She works hard to change herself. To be a better wife for me. When she crosses lines she shouldn't I tell her and she apologizes. I love her and respect her. Because I made her "work for it" she also loves and respects me. Thanking me for marrying her.
I also see this now after I was divorced after more than 18 years. I was too caring, giving, helping, fixing problems, etc. Her life was too easy with tons of free time. She worked way less than when we met. I think besides other things, she had a too easy life each week. More time to complain and be bored, criticize and shame or guilt me. So there seemed to be conflict and “power plays” like she wanted to dominate. She hid that well when we dated. I know I have good value. In this single phase of my life I will focus on growing and improving, and not just giving too freely. Like when you’re a kid, if pay towards a bike, or game, car, whatever, when you put up some value or money you take care of and value your stuff way more than a gift or free item. I also have to thicken my skin, in past when I would put boundaries I experienced the woman cutting me down and using shame, insults, guilt over my rules or requests, to push me to cave. Now if I see that, I have to just say, “bye Felicia” and instead choose a woman who chooses me.
@@Mattheus217 18 years divorce ? for fuck sake im almost 26 single and had a breakup on my second longest one which is just 16 months, i honestly not sure what to think if people even breaksup after 18 years. I am just glad i learned to live happily alone without the need of a wife, but this is just tragic,i ll never understand how people can just throw away things like this, barely any value is being show like a significant value.
What is fascinating with your way of explaining an idea is the metaphorical illustration with a more basic one (The fish & the boat). You are my favorite Psy. Always short and straight to the point !
Very clear summation of the vetting process which I have lived by for the the last decade. It has led to the most satisfying relationships I’ve had. The Doc is in top form with this one. Men need to know this regardless of their perceived value.
Honestly, I could not have worded it better. I did the exact same thing and built a loving relationship with a woman who made, and still makes, the effort. This strategy also helps you avoid a lot of toxic people who see themselves as the price.
Correct. Modern culture has tricked women and men into thinking that "Happy Wife Happy Life" was the way for marriage. But that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what makes a wife and even husband, happy. Marital bliss comes when it is the WIFE trying to make her HUSBAND happy...and the Husband then focuses on his duties/purpose for their marriage. THAT is the correct dynamic.
Why would I want to work for my husband? I literally bleed an organ out every month and still have to go to work and bathe. I am tired and sleepy and so am only interested in sweet boys who are cuddly and make my life easy. Idgaf about a dude who acts disinterested or haughty. I am attractive and broke up with my ex bc he didn't give me enough compliments. Redpill doesn't work and you got sold a lie by old men with attachment issues.
Just bought your book, brother. Thanks for the help over the years. Haven't checked in a while, i started watching when you had like 30k subs. Glad people are finally realizing your value.
Make yourself your number one priority. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Once you start down the path, they'll start jumping into your boat. Rest assured.
I loved Patrice's standup, and his Oppie & Anthony radio show, but I wouldn't encourage following in his footsteps. He knew Game with women. But I don't think it's good for society for men and women to be running around, running game on each other. Especially when men and women are younger, they get significantly affected by the breakups and relationships they go through. More f-boys and manipulative women will ruin the dating market for everyone.
@@onpoint2292 I disagree, I think the problem is what he said on the show multiple times, women don’t understand men because they don’t NEED to. They try to force what they’re selling on us, but we aren’t buying what they’re selling anymore, which is horseshit miserable relationships.
My goal is to be the best version of myself. I regularly exceed my own achievements. I acknowledge that I haven't always been a good husband, father, boyfriend. I'm getting better every day and I very well know there's plenty of fish in the sea. I hope my gf is the one who has similar mindset. I like that some days she lets me catch her, and sometimes she jumps to my boat.
Great video, A month ago, my five-year relationship came to an end. I really can't stop thinking about the love of my life, who made the decision to leave me. I've done everything in my power to win him back, but it's all in vain, and I can't imagine my life with anyone else. I genuinely miss him and just can't stop thinking about him, even though I've tried my hardest to stop thinking about him. I'm not sure why I'm saying this here.
It's hard to say goodbye to someone you love; I experienced this when my 12-year relationship ended. However, I couldn't just let him go; instead, I tried everything to win him back. Eventually, I turned to a spiritual counsellor for assistance, and he was able to help me win him back.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked him up now online. impressive Wow I just looked Father Obah Eze on the net he’s very legit thanks once again ❤
Thank you for saying this. Many men throwed women who were fully committed to them because they want to keep fishing, don’t know what they’re looking at, don’t know what they’re losing for.
Finally a video I can relate to. After decades of marriage I am finally ready to end it. Not that I have someone else, she's just never going to work for it. I was young, dumb and 20 years old. I was off to the races with a stunning bride, until I realized my needs did not mean a damn to her. No sex last 10 years , and sparse before that. Made me old and bitter.
The facts that you used Patrice O'Neil routine tells me he had a big impact on you as well. I'm 39 so I grew up with him and he had a big impact on me as well. R.I.P Patrice. Gone but never forgotten 💔
Very good breakdown. I was talking with a lady online while at work. The day was ending and I already had plans so I was about to say bye for the night and then she asked if we could meet that night. I was pretty shocked. This was different. I agreed. We met at a chain place and had desserts and coffee. The second the check came, she dropped her card and said “I got it”. That was when I knew she was real and definitely different. We’ve been married 19 years and have 3 kids.
100% true, I stopped suffering over women once I discovered that they just weren’t into me like I was into them. The girls that did want me and put effort I ignored them all, thus my vicious cycle of heartbreak.
This 100% Does work. A Woman that is not working to keep her husband or BF happy is bored and miserable and will go look for some other man that is more of challenge and that will not kiss her ass, which is why women date assholes that they have constantly try to keep their attention. I have literally had women tell me they had good loyal men into then that would even bring them lunch at work and she said "He's too into me I'm going to break up with him." Trying to make a women happy is futile. They are only happy when they drama to obsess over. You doubt it listen to women's conversation most pf the time they are complaining about something. I told a Ex this and she didn't agree. She was hair dresser. She came back and said "You're right, I was listening to women, co workers & clients at work and you were right." If you don't give them something to complain about or obsess over they get bored. Very often when a man thinks he is in good relationship with peace and stability and then his Wife or GF breaks up with him. They are not like us. Other times they may stay but you''re are just like friends and their is not hot passionate sex they seem to need drama to get turned on. Women can be very draining because of their constant need for drama and a emotional rollercoaster.
Please be real and clear about what this ACTUALLY means though. In practice. Women who are seeking your investment are a PITA. They are neurotic, constantly requiring progress updates, constantly requiring reassurance, constantly needing to "know where this is going" constantly having tantrums etc etc...ad nauseam. It's good theory (I know from experience)...but the practice is utterly grinding and horrifically time consuming (again, I know from experience).
True women can be draining,iam not gonna say all but the few number of ones i have dated they all were,man the constant need for drama nd emotional rollercoaster is very draining, they act like they r livin in a rom com.
Their need for drama is directly attributable to their entertainment growing up. Their parents allowed them to fall away from everything that kept society stable for millennia. Their entertainment made dramatic more stimulating than stability, and now the bill is due.
@@sammyb1651yoooooo thank you for saying this. I think you actually solved something I had been kindve saying but not really saying and I did my damndest with my ex but wore myself out all for nothing. Too long of a story but I knew it couldn’t just be “every” woman. But regardless…it was HER. Thank you, makes it much easier to say this than summing things up to “she was just insecure”.
I don't like much people on TH-cam but your channel is really a gold mine of knowledge I will surely buy your book if it talks about intersexual dynamics like you say
In the beginning I had her jump back into my boat repeatedly because I honestly didn't believe that we fit together. That impressed me, and indeed she was extremely interested in a long-term relationship. She needed one, being separated for one year with kids one and three years old. But once she had established herself in my house, the unhappiness, ungratefulness and yelling started. She didn't work any longer for the relationship, but expected me to care as much for her kids as for my own son, without reciprocating. After two years I couldn't stand the constant conflicts any longer and moved out together with my son. We still tried to keep the relationship going for the sake of the kids and also because we did have have very good times with each other once the kids were not present. But a couple of days ago I learned from her that she has found someone new. The bottom line is that the fact that a woman does everything to secure a relationship with you and gives you great sex in addition does not mean that you should ignore your gut feelings and the usual red flags. On the contrary, it should raise your suspicion if a woman tries too hard and flat-out ignores your refusal.
@@tigre9271 --- No. Make sure she needs you and she must keep needing you. If she does not need you anymore you are toast. So leave before she leaves you due to not needing you. WANT can change every day. But need does not change often. She should be shit scared of losing you.
I really love how you give Patrice the credit he deserves in your videos. I know he’s changed my life and many others but some like to take his ideas without even mentioning him at all
I had a guy tell me once that as far as females are concerned, "you always pay for it." Referring to the fact that no matter what kind of relationship you have with a female money is coming out of your hands to facilitate it. This has been one of the most true statements I have ever heard. Now I'm focusing on not being upset about it but accepting it and using it to my benefit. If it's going to be a business deal then I'm going to respond differently then I would if it was love which it never truly is with a woman
@manifest2203 How so? Financially, it always has been more costly for men as far as I can tell. Of course I'm just a human being and I don't know every circumstance that's ever happened
That is exactly why traditional gender roles are important for a functioning society. The woman need and has invested enough into the men not leave for nonsensical reasons. But men also need to be true men, protectors and providers to be valued the way they should.
@@idib1739 exactly… a lot of men want women to invest in them when they themselves are not that worth something of value ie( providers, protectors and a man of value)
GREAT video... Conceptually it makes so much sense. The hard part for most men (me included, moreso in the past) is to have the emotional and mental discipline to execute this...
Years ago I read a book by Tony Robbins that said, "The relationship isn't the place you go to get something, it's the place you go to give something." That was some truly crappy advice, and it's taken me thirty years of dating to realize just how bad it was. If you're not gatekeeping something, you're going to get walked on.
Tony was correct. The problem is people give to others who do not give. Givers attract takers. Maturity and boundaries vet this out of your life. People pleasers give more thinking the other person will see their value.
Taraban's advice comes from the state of survival, Tony's advice came from the state of self-expression. You decide in which mode they are, and most people are still in survival mode.
If you want to give, then give unconditionally without expectation of reciprocation. That way you will not get hurt when the taker just takes what you give. Give someone what she deserves and has earned it.
This phenomenon actually applies to most/many things in life. It is part of the human psyche. For instance, when you fix something for someone else, don't fix it quickly....even though you spent 30 years gaining the skills which allow you to fix it in minutes. For most humans, in reality, they would take hours, or days. You did it in minutes. Well, guess what?...The person you fixed it for will NEVER appreciate the job you did for them. You made it look too easy! Do NOT allow the person you are fixing something for to see how you did it. Just let them be amazed when days later you give them back the repaired item. Even though you only took 2 minutes to do the fix, keep it to yourself. QED
Let me explain it.. you wanna help people to the maximum point where they understand how much they're being helped.. over this threshold, they don't understand anything and can therefore not appreciate.. It takes understanding to appreciate..
This matters a lot more outside of the bedroom than inside the bedroom. Women are very mental when it comes to their sexuality. If she doesn't respect you outside of the bedroom, then she subconsciously will feel like she's "giving" you sex: like the marriage is shackling her with having to meet the needs of the husband. To go through life as partners, a lot of reflection and reevaluation is needed. Don't wait until you're years deep into a marriage to have tough conversations with your husband or wife.
I've found that waiting at least 10 minutes to send a text and waiting even longer (1-2 hours) makes women want to talk to me more (unless there is a back and forth conversation happening.) It drives them crazy for me and I'm actually doing less than I used to do.
@@untamedwildhorse that's cope coming from a woman. I've tried the return texts right when you seem them for most of my life and it leads to meaningless conversations that leave both parties unsatisfied. This new texting strategy I am doing, has for the first time in my life, multiple women chasing me and has boosted my confidence. Everyone wants a person of substance and if you return texts instantly 24/7 it clearly indicates you don't have anything going on and are not that person. This part goes both ways.
@@comit135 I have mad respect for men that respond in a timely manner. Men that are genuinely busy and take the time to say, "I'm on Zoom meeting (or court or whatever), is it urgent? If not, May I can you later" That response happens immediately and it shows me that I am a priority and I can count on them no matter what is going on in their lives. We all want partners that we can depend on.
In a weird way, my mom gave me a lot of the same advice when it came to women and anytime she’s giving me advice regarding women. It has always worked. Thank you for the video and incredibly helpful. Just a good reminder what my mother taught me.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, Steve_porassss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Great teaching! I think this concept helps to make both the man and the woman in the relationship happier and more fulfilled. I started using some of the concepts you teach in my own life and I'm already seeing much greater success. Young men need to know these life lessons as early as possible. Also, this video sold me on your audio book!
Agree. I've rarely worked to get a woman. I did the first move, and let her do the rest. I never get "the one" I prefer, but the one who wants to be with me. Then I am in control in the relationship.
8:00 "Sex in todays marketplace is insanely cheap" - Ah yea? I didn't have sex in 10 years, and not because I wanted none. And I'm a 6'2'', slender scientist, IQ ~130, not ugly, PhD with 2 awards for it, lots of talents, musical etc. - granted, I've pretty much given up and more or less mgtow'd since a couple of years, but saying that it'd be easy today is definitely wrong. 70 years ago, I would have been approached constantly by panicking women who were not married at 30. Today, these women are in the harems of Chads ... oh yea, did you mean sex is insanely cheap for Chads? Ya, that I agree with, *it's just not relevant for 90% of men* .
Correct. If you're a 6ft 6in Chad Thunderstroke, you have all sorts of options. Same if you're insanely rich and willing to be a sugar daddy. For everyone else, they've got to out simp all the other guys in the simp auction.
@anjunatuna Hm, thank you, that's incredibly sweet of you, seriously (if you're really a woman, and more specifically, the one on your pic - yes, I'm interested in attractive women; like every man ... who isn't a hypocrite an/or delusional) ... but you don't actually know that. What people, both men and women, say and what they'll actually do is only very loosely correlated. If there'd be a real situation, I'm pretty sure you'd get extremely turned off e.g. by recalling the fact that I didn't have a woman in 10 years - even if you said now, that'd be irrelevant. Interestingly, if you then also saw pictures of my ex-wife and my ex-girlfriends, even if you said now that'd be irrelevant either, you'd maybe revise said reaction - see what I did there? ;)
@@gewinnste haha yes it is me. What you described in your original comment sounds like the first (and last) man I ever fell in love with. I was not initially attracted to him, but after building a strong intellectual and emotional connection over time, I met him again and saw him in a completely different light. And he only ever became more handsome to me over time. :)
I agree with the principles in this video. However, I've seen instances where women will work hard to secure commitment from a man, and once she got it, she switched up, so men need to be careful, ESPECIALLY if they're going to get married here in the States or in the West, which I do not recommend.
This video is pure gold. Can you please talk about creating avenues for women to invest in. How to invite investment and recognize it easily. This makes sense and it's just super new to me and while I'll meditate on these concepts I'd love to hear more about this topic from your perspective. Thank you!
Hey Doc. I bought your book Value of Others. I just wanted to say Im really enjoy reading it. Your writing style is clean but doesn't feel too sterile or dry. Rather it's surprisingly intricate and enjoyably complex(the flow of paragraphs, not necessarily the contents of the paragraphs, well that too haha). I was slightly disappointed when you said in chapter 1 that "dont worry it will get easier to read later on", or words to that effect, I was like noooooo I was enjoying that lol. Anyway cheers bro!
Your analogies are wonderful, Orion. They get to the heart of things and also show, for those of us on the less advantaged side of things, how we can give ourselves a boost. "The Value of Others" has been a real eye opener for me. And like all of your advice, it let's the less advantaged see how they can compete. Turn flaws into assets! Yes indeed. 😊
I like the analogies you make...they make it worthwhile to listen to you speak all the way❤

It scares me when men go into ‘head over heels’ mode in such a short period of time. It’s obvious they don’t know me very well, so I think they are falling for something they made up in their imagination, or something very superficial. As you said, sex just isn’t that hard to find…… A lot of people, men and women, don’t cope well with ‘being alone’ so they tend to jump in too deep, too fast and waste time in failed ‘relationships’. Quality over quantity - that’s the ticket.
@juliatodhunter6454 Sorry for the wall of text. I hope you find my take on your words interesting still. _"As you said, sex just isn’t that hard to find"_ Well context matters. Orion means it in the sense, that women don't have meaningful leverage with sex. At least not considering the men they want. For the vast majority of guys sex actually isn't cheap or easy to find. Not in the slightest. *That's exactly the reason why they commit too fast.* But as you demonstrated, that's not the men who most women want. That's why this kind of behaviour gives you the ick in the first place. It demonstrates neediness due to a lack of optionality. Sex is only cheap for the top 10% of guys that all women compete for. Hence the women competing for these men can't negotiate any meaningful privileges with sex. But that's not because sex is inherently cheap. It's just cheap for *those men,* since they have easy access to it already. It's basically "dating out of your league" with extra steps. To make matters worse, the current dynamic is accelerated by a feedback loop, driving the dating market into a "the winner takes it all" situation. Which is bad for everyone. Even for the few lucky bastards at the top who get (and bind) all the sexual attention from women. _"It scares me when men go into ‘head over heels’ mode in such a short period of time."_ I guess that's universal, at least when you are not that sure about the other person yourself. If both have a crush on each other the same way, this "head over heels" mode is the best thing in the world. So I suspect the problem is not the "being wanted" but the "not wanting". It's the whole "being the adorer vs. being the adored" dynamic, that Orion talked about in the past. _"so I think they are falling for something they made up in their imagination"_ Filling in gaps with imagination affects both sexes. According to Orion it's even an integral part of seduction. Like, you want the other person to stay in the dark and imagining things up for a while. For so long, that they are already "pot commited" when they realize, you are somewhat different than what they have imagined. It's something to take on conciously and methodically.. very unromatic, so naturally nobody wants to even acknowledge it let alone do the work. But it seems that someone has to do this work in order for things to develeop and eventually work out. If it's not you, it's the man you are with. And here is the fun part: he will look down on you exactly the same way you look down on the guys who are "head over heels" for you too soon. That's the crux so many women struggle with today. You can meet eye level, but then you'll have to earn your place and carry your own weight. Or you get your prince charming who will lead (and provide and protect), but then you are not eye level anymore naturally. You can't have your cake and eat it too. _"Quality over quantity - that’s the ticket."_ What you fail to see is, that quantity is an absolute necessity in order to find some quality. Before you can sieve out the gold, you first need some base material with which you can do the sieving. You have to meet a lot of people in order to do that. I guess that's a thing where women and men have a complete lack of understanding for the other sex, since their lived realities are so starkly different. As a women, you get a lot of material for free w/o any effort. It just throws itself on you. Thirsty men are abundand. And as a woman it can get tiresome to be forced to deal with that. I get that. But it's not the same for men. It's the exact opposite even. That's why there are so many thirsty men to begin with - doing stupid and undignified things. They are thirsty for a reason. They can't afford to select for quality, because they have no optionality to begin with.
@@rainerminusunfug You’re misunderstanding of me/where I’m coming from is profound. The gentleman in the video said sex isn’t that hard to find and I agree because I’ve seen so many women throw themselves at men in a desperate attempt to ‘be loved’ or be taken care of - there’s plenty of it. Of course, there are plenty of men to take advantage of them too. It scares me - because I’m not interested in spending time on delusions - not all women do that - I don’t. There’s drive, which needs to be self controlled. I have never considered myself a competitor with other women for some version of a ‘better man’. The right person is the one to hope for because that’s the one you build a life with. No, I don’t agree that people must be deceptive to themselves or anyone else. Romance is good in its place. As adults, we need to realize that life ain’t no Disney princess movie. In relationships, we are going to see the real person at some point, and they see us as we are too. It is an utter waste of everyone’s time to try to fool another person into being attracted to you/them. People don’t get time back.
One of the reasons by women disproportionately end relationships is that they don't have to work for the relationships they have. Whereas most women make men work for sex, most men do not make women work for commitment: they hand it to them on a silver platter lest they jeopardize the sexual opportunity. Like many things in life, it's easy come, easy go. If you want a woman to fight for her relationship, then you have to make her work for it.

I've listened to a lot of your videos, and although I'm not a therapist I have done lots of counseling with guys on masculinity and life. (The Way of the Superior Man is a great guide.) I have to say, this is one of THE MOST VALUABLE videos you have ever done. Simple. Clear. Powerful. And Foundational. Great job sir!
@@psychacks Never listen to a man that's giving a reason for why women end relationships . Lol.
yeah right....this advice will definitely bring you more men into your therapy, as they all would have been broken up by their gf/spouse with this attitude.
@@psychacks it’s actually because the woman isn’t really physically attracted the man or the man isn’t masculine. Most women leave because they wanted to be married and once they realize the attraction doesn’t (usually) grow they’re ready to look for an escape route.

Just compare it to the job market... What do you think importing desperate people with lower standards does to overall wages that employers are willing to pay? It's the same thing.

Women want commitment very very much but they all ONLY desire it from a very small group of guys. Of course most end up settling for guys outside that pool of desirable men but they do so reluctantly and they certainly aren't going to try hard for it.

She has to have genuine burning desire for you. And the only way she is going to have desire for you is if you have value, e.g. good looks (genetic value), good money (resource value), good emotional connection (psychological value), and good lifestyle/frame (social status value).

Very nice summary, I completely agree
As a lady, I agree.
What’s sad is when you realize that most men are not physically attractive so therefore most of them will never receive optimal treatment in their lifetime. Most women are hypergamous, even average women don’t want average dude. Dudes in general need to start spending their money on pros who’ll get the job done instead of constantly chasing and humiliating themselves trying to compromise with women who don’t even find them in the first place. Heck, as an attractive dude that’s the path I’m taking when my wheels fall off and I can’t pull anymore😂 put your pride aside fellas, get your needs met on the low with high quality escorts. You’ll save more money and be more satisfied over time.💯
It makes so much sense. What is easily attained is hardly appreciated. Also, there has to be vested interest on both sides. If interest is not mutual, it doesn’t stand a chance.
Most women have no interest in most men. All but the top men are in the much weaker negotiating position, for anything.
What good is signalling to women "you're going to have to work to get me to commit", if the all the women will just think "pfft, drop dead, idiot"?
While dating in my 40's after divorce, I stumbled upon this truth. My first wife didn't have to work at all for me. But I learned to lay down rules and boundaries when I was dating. The women that didn't respect that, I turned loose. I just kept having fun dating. I soon became more desirable then I should have been in the singles social circles in my area. And when a woman that was honestly a good fit for me wanted a relationship, I kept turning her down. I was having too much fun dating. She pursued me for almost a year before I finally decided to "try" a committed relationship with her. Eventually I decided she was worth marrying. We're married 4 years now and she takes responsibility for what she does poorly in the relationship. She works hard to change herself. To be a better wife for me. When she crosses lines she shouldn't I tell her and she apologizes. I love her and respect her. Because I made her "work for it" she also loves and respects me. Thanking me for marrying her.
She sounds like a simp. Low value woman, grateful to have been picked… Pitty her
I also see this now after I was divorced after more than 18 years. I was too caring, giving, helping, fixing problems, etc. Her life was too easy with tons of free time. She worked way less than when we met.
I think besides other things, she had a too easy life each week. More time to complain and be bored, criticize and shame or guilt me. So there seemed to be conflict and “power plays” like she wanted to dominate.
She hid that well when we dated.
I know I have good value. In this single phase of my life I will focus on growing and improving, and not just giving too freely.
Like when you’re a kid, if pay towards a bike, or game, car, whatever, when you put up some value or money you take care of and value your stuff way more than a gift or free item.
I also have to thicken my skin, in past when I would put boundaries I experienced the woman cutting me down and using shame, insults, guilt over my rules or requests, to push me to cave.
Now if I see that, I have to just say, “bye Felicia” and instead choose a woman who chooses me.

Correct. Modern culture has tricked women and men into thinking that "Happy Wife Happy Life" was the way for marriage. But that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what makes a wife and even husband, happy.
Marital bliss comes when it is the WIFE trying to make her HUSBAND happy...and the Husband then focuses on his duties/purpose for their marriage.
THAT is the correct dynamic.
As a woman this is correct
Why would I want to work for my husband? I literally bleed an organ out every month and still have to go to work and bathe. I am tired and sleepy and so am only interested in sweet boys who are cuddly and make my life easy. Idgaf about a dude who acts disinterested or haughty. I am attractive and broke up with my ex bc he didn't give me enough compliments. Redpill doesn't work and you got sold a lie by old men with attachment issues.
LTR will never work with a self centered lazy women.
@Bookooky, if you are married, your husband got a side piece, so he can deal with your anger and not lose half of his pension.
@@Bookooky time will tell
By far, the most truthful relationship advisor.
Just bought your book, brother. Thanks for the help over the years. Haven't checked in a while, i started watching when you had like 30k subs. Glad people are finally realizing your value.
Make yourself your number one priority. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Once you start down the path, they'll start jumping into your boat. Rest assured.
Shout out to Patrice.... One of the greatest philosophers of our generation. Rest in Power
I loved Patrice's standup, and his Oppie & Anthony radio show, but I wouldn't encourage following in his footsteps.
He knew Game with women. But I don't think it's good for society for men and women to be running around, running game on each other. Especially when men and women are younger, they get significantly affected by the breakups and relationships they go through.
More f-boys and manipulative women will ruin the dating market for everyone.
@@onpoint2292 I disagree, I think the problem is what he said on the show multiple times, women don’t understand men because they don’t NEED to. They try to force what they’re selling on us, but we aren’t buying what they’re selling anymore, which is horseshit miserable relationships.
My goal is to be the best version of myself.
I regularly exceed my own achievements.
I acknowledge that I haven't always been a good husband, father, boyfriend.
I'm getting better every day and I very well know there's plenty of fish in the sea.
I hope my gf is the one who has similar mindset.
I like that some days she lets me catch her, and sometimes she jumps to my boat.
Love this mindset. Similar thi g here buddy. Still young 23 male
I'm glad he mentioned Patrice O’Neil; he was a sage 🧙🏾♂️
Great video, A month ago, my five-year relationship came to an end. I really can't stop thinking about the love of my life, who made the decision to leave me. I've done everything in my power to win him back, but it's all in vain, and I can't imagine my life with anyone else. I genuinely miss him and just can't stop thinking about him, even though I've tried my hardest to stop thinking about him. I'm not sure why I'm saying this here.
It's hard to say goodbye to someone you love; I experienced this when my 12-year relationship ended. However, I couldn't just let him go; instead, I tried everything to win him back. Eventually, I turned to a spiritual counsellor for assistance, and he was able to help me win him back.
Interesting! How did you locate a spiritual counsellor, and how can I get in touch with him most effectively?
His name is Father Obah Eze, and he is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
he is father obah eze, he has great powers, he can help you.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked him up now online. impressive
Wow I just looked Father Obah Eze on the net he’s very legit thanks once again ❤
Thank you for saying this. Many men throwed women who were fully committed to them because they want to keep fishing, don’t know what they’re looking at, don’t know what they’re losing for.
I always knew you were a man of culture Dr. That Patrice O'Neil reference is iconic.
The guy who went away 3 decades before average life expectancy of m4n?
Be someone worth getting... not waste your time playing mind games.
Bro memtioned Patrice O’Neal! Got to love this guy. He’s different.
Finally a video I can relate to. After decades of marriage I am finally ready to end it. Not that I have someone else, she's just never going to work for it. I was young, dumb and 20 years old. I was off to the races with a stunning bride, until I realized my needs did not mean a damn to her. No sex last 10 years , and sparse before that. Made me old and bitter.
The facts that you used Patrice O'Neil routine tells me he had a big impact on you as well. I'm 39 so I grew up with him and he had a big impact on me as well. R.I.P Patrice. Gone but never forgotten 💔
I love this guy's analogies. So easy to understand and so appropriate.
I love the mention of Patrice O'neal
He went away 3 decades before his life expectancy 😂 He was talking so much about women and weight, he didn’t take care of his 🤣
RIP Patrice, thank you for bringing him up 🖤
Very good breakdown. I was talking with a lady online while at work. The day was ending and I already had plans so I was about to say bye for the night and then she asked if we could meet that night.
I was pretty shocked. This was different.
I agreed.
We met at a chain place and had desserts and coffee. The second the check came, she dropped her card and said “I got it”.
That was when I knew she was real and definitely different.
We’ve been married 19 years and have 3 kids.
100% true, I stopped suffering over women once I discovered that they just weren’t into me like I was into them. The girls that did want me and put effort I ignored them all, thus my vicious cycle of heartbreak.
This 100% Does work. A Woman that is not working to keep her husband or BF happy is bored and miserable and will go look for some other man that is more of challenge and that will not kiss her ass, which is why women date assholes that they have constantly try to keep their attention. I have literally had women tell me they had good loyal men into then that would even bring them lunch at work and she said "He's too into me I'm going to break up with him."
Trying to make a women happy is futile. They are only happy when they drama to obsess over. You doubt it listen to women's conversation most pf the time they are complaining about something. I told a Ex this and she didn't agree. She was hair dresser. She came back and said "You're right, I was listening to women, co workers & clients at work and you were right."
If you don't give them something to complain about or obsess over they get bored. Very often when a man thinks he is in good relationship with peace and stability and then his Wife or GF breaks up with him. They are not like us. Other times they may stay but you''re are just like friends and their is not hot passionate sex they seem to need drama to get turned on. Women can be very draining because of their constant need for drama and a emotional rollercoaster.
Please be real and clear about what this ACTUALLY means though. In practice. Women who are seeking your investment are a PITA. They are neurotic, constantly requiring progress updates, constantly requiring reassurance, constantly needing to "know where this is going" constantly having tantrums etc etc...ad nauseam.
It's good theory (I know from experience)...but the practice is utterly grinding and horrifically time consuming (again, I know from experience).
True women can be draining,iam not gonna say all but the few number of ones i have dated they all were,man the constant need for drama nd emotional rollercoaster is very draining, they act like they r livin in a rom com.
Their need for drama is directly attributable to their entertainment growing up. Their parents allowed them to fall away from everything that kept society stable for millennia. Their entertainment made dramatic more stimulating than stability, and now the bill is due.
@@sammyb1651yoooooo thank you for saying this. I think you actually solved something I had been kindve saying but not really saying and I did my damndest with my ex but wore myself out all for nothing.
Too long of a story but I knew it couldn’t just be “every” woman. But regardless…it was HER. Thank you, makes it much easier to say this than summing things up to “she was just insecure”.
So they are like this huh? My ex left me because there was no drama. I refused to give her the emotional roller coaster and she “got bored” gtfo
I don't like much people on TH-cam but your channel is really a gold mine of knowledge I will surely buy your book if it talks about intersexual dynamics like you say
In the beginning I had her jump back into my boat repeatedly because I honestly didn't believe that we fit together. That impressed me, and indeed she was extremely interested in a long-term relationship. She needed one, being separated for one year with kids one and three years old. But once she had established herself in my house, the unhappiness, ungratefulness and yelling started. She didn't work any longer for the relationship, but expected me to care as much for her kids as for my own son, without reciprocating. After two years I couldn't stand the constant conflicts any longer and moved out together with my son. We still tried to keep the relationship going for the sake of the kids and also because we did have have very good times with each other once the kids were not present. But a couple of days ago I learned from her that she has found someone new. The bottom line is that the fact that a woman does everything to secure a relationship with you and gives you great sex in addition does not mean that you should ignore your gut feelings and the usual red flags. On the contrary, it should raise your suspicion if a woman tries too hard and flat-out ignores your refusal.
The most obvious red flag, which you mentioned was, SHE NEEDED YOU. Never commit to someone who NEEDS you.
@@tigre9271 being needed is precisely my weak spot. Being wanted is my blind spot.
She just did a bait-and-switch. You are just a provider.
@@tigre9271 --- No. Make sure she needs you and she must keep needing you. If she does not need you anymore you are toast. So leave before she leaves you due to not needing you. WANT can change every day. But need does not change often. She should be shit scared of losing you.
It's about the ability to make her work for you. Having intrinsic value helps but it's about your actions and mindset mainly.
I really love how you give Patrice the credit he deserves in your videos. I know he’s changed my life and many others but some like to take his ideas without even mentioning him at all
I had a guy tell me once that as far as females are concerned, "you always pay for it." Referring to the fact that no matter what kind of relationship you have with a female money is coming out of your hands to facilitate it. This has been one of the most true statements I have ever heard. Now I'm focusing on not being upset about it but accepting it and using it to my benefit. If it's going to be a business deal then I'm going to respond differently then I would if it was love which it never truly is with a woman
Never paid for it during my years leaning on the bar with a beer, pool cue and a cigarette. I'm not tall, but they'd just walk right up.
Isn’t that true for women also? All relationships are costly for women.
@manifest2203 How so? Financially, it always has been more costly for men as far as I can tell. Of course I'm just a human being and I don't know every circumstance that's ever happened
@@garymalone547we know, they just bent over right there in the bar for you, you didn't even have to buy them a hot dog or beer 🙄
The guy told you BS and you decided to agree against your better judgment as a human. You failed yourself.
That is exactly why traditional gender roles are important for a functioning society. The woman need and has invested enough into the men not leave for nonsensical reasons. But men also need to be true men, protectors and providers to be valued the way they should.
@@idib1739 exactly… a lot of men want women to invest in them when they themselves are not that worth something of value ie( providers, protectors and a man of value)
Having that mindset and vetting her properly is extremely powerful when dating, and ensures you get a high quality woman. Perfect thumbnail btw.
GREAT video... Conceptually it makes so much sense. The hard part for most men (me included, moreso in the past) is to have the emotional and mental discipline to execute this...
Years ago I read a book by Tony Robbins that said, "The relationship isn't the place you go to get something, it's the place you go to give something."
That was some truly crappy advice, and it's taken me thirty years of dating to realize just how bad it was. If you're not gatekeeping something, you're going to get walked on.
You don't understand love, and that's ok. Most people don't.
Tony was correct. The problem is people give to others who do not give. Givers attract takers. Maturity and boundaries vet this out of your life. People pleasers give more thinking the other person will see their value.
Taraban's advice comes from the state of survival,
Tony's advice came from the state of self-expression.
You decide in which mode they are, and most people are still in survival mode.
If you want to give, then give unconditionally without expectation of reciprocation. That way you will not get hurt when the taker just takes what you give. Give someone what she deserves and has earned it.
Taraban's and Robbins' messages do not exclude each other
So glad someone finally refers to the late great Patrice O'Neal. Well of wisdom who uses comedy.
This was my favorite video of yours so far, probably because I needed to hear it. Thanks for what you do, I'm planning to order the book.
clear, direct, and brutally honest. this man knows what he's talking about
This phenomenon actually applies to most/many things in life. It is part of the human psyche. For instance, when you fix something for someone else, don't fix it quickly....even though you spent 30 years gaining the skills which allow you to fix it in minutes. For most humans, in reality, they would take hours, or days. You did it in minutes. Well, guess what?...The person you fixed it for will NEVER appreciate the job you did for them. You made it look too easy! Do NOT allow the person you are fixing something for to see how you did it. Just let them be amazed when days later you give them back the repaired item. Even though you only took 2 minutes to do the fix, keep it to yourself. QED
OR.. as Mt late husband said "you are not paying me to fix the problem you are paying me for my experience" then walk away while leaving the bill.
Toxic
Let me explain it.. you wanna help people to the maximum point where they understand how much they're being helped.. over this threshold, they don't understand anything and can therefore not appreciate.. It takes understanding to appreciate..
This matters a lot more outside of the bedroom than inside the bedroom.
Women are very mental when it comes to their sexuality. If she doesn't respect you outside of the bedroom, then she subconsciously will feel like she's "giving" you sex: like the marriage is shackling her with having to meet the needs of the husband.
To go through life as partners, a lot of reflection and reevaluation is needed. Don't wait until you're years deep into a marriage to have tough conversations with your husband or wife.
I've found that waiting at least 10 minutes to send a text and waiting even longer (1-2 hours) makes women want to talk to me more (unless there is a back and forth conversation happening.) It drives them crazy for me and I'm actually doing less than I used to do.
That only works for anxious preoccupied attachment styles. A secure attachment will see you as playing games and be turned off.
That’s why u gotta always be doing stuff so to not always be readily available
@@untamedwildhorse that's cope coming from a woman. I've tried the return texts right when you seem them for most of my life and it leads to meaningless conversations that leave both parties unsatisfied. This new texting strategy I am doing, has for the first time in my life, multiple women chasing me and has boosted my confidence. Everyone wants a person of substance and if you return texts instantly 24/7 it clearly indicates you don't have anything going on and are not that person. This part goes both ways.
@@TheBadGuy69 Exactly, its best to actually be occupied with something but if you don't have anything you should at least make it seem like that.
@@comit135 I have mad respect for men that respond in a timely manner. Men that are genuinely busy and take the time to say, "I'm on Zoom meeting (or court or whatever), is it urgent? If not, May I can you later"
That response happens immediately and it shows me that I am a priority and I can count on them no matter what is going on in their lives. We all want partners that we can depend on.
Thanks!
This is so simple, yet so sagacious.
I wish this guy was my dad
Lol, for an agreed sum, he can be anything you want.
Patrice was ahead of his time
This is probably a lot more accurate than I'd like to admit.
This is incredible. I feel like I just discovered why my relationships have failed in the past. You’re great
Thanks!
RIP Patrice. Thank you doctor
All things being equal, I love this channel.
Long long looooong time ago, I stopped chasing women, and it's worked a lot better for the outcomes I want. Great. video.
9 mins of no bullsht.. straight to the point and time efficient..
In a weird way, my mom gave me a lot of the same advice when it came to women and anytime she’s giving me advice regarding women. It has always worked. Thank you for the video and incredibly helpful. Just a good reminder what my mother taught me.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

The moment I saw the title I knew this was a bombshell, and boom it was awesome
Great teaching! I think this concept helps to make both the man and the woman in the relationship happier and more fulfilled. I started using some of the concepts you teach in my own life and I'm already seeing much greater success. Young men need to know these life lessons as early as possible. Also, this video sold me on your audio book!
Agree. I've rarely worked to get a woman. I did the first move, and let her do the rest. I never get "the one" I prefer, but the one who wants to be with me. Then I am in control in the relationship.
8:00 "Sex in todays marketplace is insanely cheap" - Ah yea? I didn't have sex in 10 years, and not because I wanted none. And I'm a 6'2'', slender scientist, IQ ~130, not ugly, PhD with 2 awards for it, lots of talents, musical etc. - granted, I've pretty much given up and more or less mgtow'd since a couple of years, but saying that it'd be easy today is definitely wrong. 70 years ago, I would have been approached constantly by panicking women who were not married at 30. Today, these women are in the harems of Chads ... oh yea, did you mean sex is insanely cheap for Chads? Ya, that I agree with, *it's just not relevant for 90% of men* .
Correct. If you're a 6ft 6in Chad Thunderstroke, you have all sorts of options. Same if you're insanely rich and willing to be a sugar daddy. For everyone else, they've got to out simp all the other guys in the simp auction.
You need to visit Amsterdam my friend.. game changer trip.. try it.
Screw the Chads, I would've gone for you
@anjunatuna Hm, thank you, that's incredibly sweet of you, seriously (if you're really a woman, and more specifically, the one on your pic - yes, I'm interested in attractive women; like every man ... who isn't a hypocrite an/or delusional) ... but you don't actually know that. What people, both men and women, say and what they'll actually do is only very loosely correlated. If there'd be a real situation, I'm pretty sure you'd get extremely turned off e.g. by recalling the fact that I didn't have a woman in 10 years - even if you said now, that'd be irrelevant.
Interestingly, if you then also saw pictures of my ex-wife and my ex-girlfriends, even if you said now that'd be irrelevant either, you'd maybe revise said reaction - see what I did there? ;)
@@gewinnste haha yes it is me. What you described in your original comment sounds like the first (and last) man I ever fell in love with. I was not initially attracted to him, but after building a strong intellectual and emotional connection over time, I met him again and saw him in a completely different light. And he only ever became more handsome to me over time. :)
Shout out to the great Patrice O'Neal - words to live by.
This deserves millions of views !!!! So many gems here
MAN! You are SAVING MY RELATIONSHIP with a woman I want to be for a looong time. Thanks for your videos, really accurate and to the point.
I agree with the principles in this video. However, I've seen instances where women will work hard to secure commitment from a man, and once she got it, she switched up, so men need to be careful, ESPECIALLY if they're going to get married here in the States or in the West, which I do not recommend.
This video is pure gold. Can you please talk about creating avenues for women to invest in. How to invite investment and recognize it easily. This makes sense and it's just super new to me and while I'll meditate on these concepts I'd love to hear more about this topic from your perspective. Thank you!
Hey Doc. I bought your book Value of Others. I just wanted to say Im really enjoy reading it. Your writing style is clean but doesn't feel too sterile or dry. Rather it's surprisingly intricate and enjoyably complex(the flow of paragraphs, not necessarily the contents of the paragraphs, well that too haha). I was slightly disappointed when you said in chapter 1 that "dont worry it will get easier to read later on", or words to that effect, I was like noooooo I was enjoying that lol. Anyway cheers bro!
Well put. Us men sometimes get caught up in casing that one woman who rejected us.
Wow. You just answered a lot of questions that I had about a situation that I’m in right now. Catch and release. Got it
Patrice o’Neal reference … bravo Dr. Orion bravo 👏 Patrice is the 🐐
What are some reasonable examples of investment that women can do?
Your analogies are wonderful, Orion. They get to the heart of things and also show, for those of us on the less advantaged side of things, how we can give ourselves a boost.
"The Value of Others" has been a real eye opener for me. And like all of your advice, it let's the less advantaged see how they can compete. Turn flaws into assets! Yes indeed. 😊
You sound like a high value woman indeed❤
Oh. Probably one of the most important things EVERY man should learn about! Thank you, kindly!
I like the analogies you make...they make it worthwhile to listen to you speak all the way❤
laughing at the idea you picked up on patrice. the mans a legend. was married 20 years and it fell apart. i listened to him for months non stop and he honestly probably saved my life - i no longer let the same concerns rule me and the results show
It scares me when men go into ‘head over heels’ mode in such a short period of time. It’s obvious they don’t know me very well, so I think they are falling for something they made up in their imagination, or something very superficial. As you said, sex just isn’t that hard to find…… A lot of people, men and women, don’t cope well with ‘being alone’ so they tend to jump in too deep, too fast and waste time in failed ‘relationships’. Quality over quantity - that’s the ticket.
Omg same here. They put you on a pedestal which you will eventually be knocked off, because you’re human.
@juliatodhunter6454
Sorry for the wall of text. I hope you find my take on your words interesting still.
_"As you said, sex just isn’t that hard to find"_
Well context matters. Orion means it in the sense, that women don't have meaningful leverage with sex. At least not considering the men they want. For the vast majority of guys sex actually isn't cheap or easy to find. Not in the slightest. *That's exactly the reason why they commit too fast.* But as you demonstrated, that's not the men who most women want. That's why this kind of behaviour gives you the ick in the first place. It demonstrates neediness due to a lack of optionality.
Sex is only cheap for the top 10% of guys that all women compete for. Hence the women competing for these men can't negotiate any meaningful privileges with sex. But that's not because sex is inherently cheap. It's just cheap for *those men,* since they have easy access to it already. It's basically "dating out of your league" with extra steps.
To make matters worse, the current dynamic is accelerated by a feedback loop, driving the dating market into a "the winner takes it all" situation. Which is bad for everyone. Even for the few lucky bastards at the top who get (and bind) all the sexual attention from women.
_"It scares me when men go into ‘head over heels’ mode in such a short period of time."_
I guess that's universal, at least when you are not that sure about the other person yourself. If both have a crush on each other the same way, this "head over heels" mode is the best thing in the world. So I suspect the problem is not the "being wanted" but the "not wanting". It's the whole "being the adorer vs. being the adored" dynamic, that Orion talked about in the past.
_"so I think they are falling for something they made up in their imagination"_
Filling in gaps with imagination affects both sexes. According to Orion it's even an integral part of seduction. Like, you want the other person to stay in the dark and imagining things up for a while. For so long, that they are already "pot commited" when they realize, you are somewhat different than what they have imagined. It's something to take on conciously and methodically.. very unromatic, so naturally nobody wants to even acknowledge it let alone do the work. But it seems that someone has to do this work in order for things to develeop and eventually work out. If it's not you, it's the man you are with. And here is the fun part: he will look down on you exactly the same way you look down on the guys who are "head over heels" for you too soon.
That's the crux so many women struggle with today. You can meet eye level, but then you'll have to earn your place and carry your own weight. Or you get your prince charming who will lead (and provide and protect), but then you are not eye level anymore naturally. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
_"Quality over quantity - that’s the ticket."_
What you fail to see is, that quantity is an absolute necessity in order to find some quality. Before you can sieve out the gold, you first need some base material with which you can do the sieving. You have to meet a lot of people in order to do that. I guess that's a thing where women and men have a complete lack of understanding for the other sex, since their lived realities are so starkly different. As a women, you get a lot of material for free w/o any effort. It just throws itself on you. Thirsty men are abundand. And as a woman it can get tiresome to be forced to deal with that. I get that. But it's not the same for men. It's the exact opposite even. That's why there are so many thirsty men to begin with - doing stupid and undignified things. They are thirsty for a reason. They can't afford to select for quality, because they have no optionality to begin with.
@@rainerminusunfugFANTASTIC comment wow 👏🏽👏🏽
@@rainerminusunfug You’re misunderstanding of me/where I’m coming from is profound. The gentleman in the video said sex isn’t that hard to find and I agree because I’ve seen so many women throw themselves at men in a desperate attempt to ‘be loved’ or be taken care of - there’s plenty of it. Of course, there are plenty of men to take advantage of them too.
It scares me - because I’m not interested in spending time on delusions - not all women do that - I don’t. There’s drive, which needs to be self controlled. I have never considered myself a competitor with other women for some version of a ‘better man’. The right person is the one to hope for because that’s the one you build a life with. No, I don’t agree that people must be deceptive to themselves or anyone else. Romance is good in its place. As adults, we need to realize that life ain’t no Disney princess movie. In relationships, we are going to see the real person at some point, and they see us as we are too. It is an utter waste of everyone’s time to try to fool another person into being attracted to you/them. People don’t get time back.
