  • Given what we understand about female mating and dating behavior, it's possible to play the chess out twenty moves and consider the various endgames that women will face in the sexual marketplace. There are actually not very many. In this episode, I discuss the five ways it can end for any given woman, and provide rough probability estimates for each scenario.

Another is the way she makes it easy for you to be together. I have often said that if a woman has genuine burning desire for you, she will walk through a mine field, in a snow storm, blindfolded, with your favorite hot meal in a thermal carry bag, and climb through your bedroom window and rip your clothes off. If a woman is lukewarm about you, she will flake on you, make excuses, or make you jump through hoops to get together.

    I recall a (conservative) woman a few years ago telling young women that between 18-22 the most important decision they face is choosing a mate. They'll never have a better selection of available men to choose from, and that choice is probably the most important they'll ever make.

      I mean some can and still hold up well in looks and personality wise to their late 20s but most of them can't. social media attention and the feminisation of public and private institutions destroyed womens perception of themselves and the value they hold in the dating world. every women dreams with the white picket fence, 2 kids and a husband. I mean everyone. But they live in this disney fantasy where they think a men in a white horse is gonna come up and sweep them out their feet withou doing anything. I mean, most women cant even communicate with men without trying to show some type of entitlement or competitiveness over you unless you have a great leverage over them. not even talking about the fact most of them nowadays cant cook, dress as women, they dress like sluts with tattoos, they prostitute themselves with makeup, I mean its a game most men are not playing because theres really no return whatsoever. If you cant vent or communicate or even have a decent intelligent and intellectual conversation with a women nowadays well you better stay with your own thoughts.

    Now all this is within my control. What I eat is within my control. Exercising is within my control. Sleep is within my control. Healthy life habits are within my control. Who I choose to be good friends with is within my control.
    How I take care of myself is within my control. It's all within my control is truth be told.
    Now I will need help with some of these life practices. So I'll Seek That Help! And I'll Follow Their Advice!

    Growing up in Germany in the 80ies one day my mum said she didn't like American films, because they always presented the journey towards one's wedding day as the journey and the marriage as the finish line, when in real life the wedding day is the starting point of the really difficult journey that ideally ends with death or tragically ends with a divorce.
    Now coming from such a mindset I think one reason the USA have so many frustrated people when it comes to relationships, it's because society promotes very unrealistic expectations for both genders. Nobody seems to prepare people for getting up at 4:30, because the toddler refuses to sleep any longer, trying to fix some breakfast, but because of your lack of sleep you end up burning it, then your partner gets up and complains about the dirty kitchen and you're trying not to yell at them, because they're taking the kid to change nappies while you're cleaning up the mess. Stories about couples who navigate through those things in a positive way, supporting each other would be so much more informative about what we really want from each other, than stories about how people fall in love. Falling in love is not difficult, transform that into long lasting, loyal love is the tricky thing. But those stories are very rarely told.

People expect harmony and then they lay awake all night next to a partner who hurt them deeply and think of getting a divorce, because that can't be "real love", when in fact that's a normal part of being married.
      I remember the time when my husband decided to leave his job, putting us through some financial turbulence as quite dramatic and exhausting. We nearly got divorced back then, but we managed to work things out. You could easily turn that into a film with tension, drama and a happy end. But for some reason people don't make films about these things, about fear of abandonment, about conflicts with the in-laws, about how dynamics change with the first child, about not being able to get pregnant, ... there's lots of things healthy married couple can go through that make a good story.

    My husband and I have been married for 44 years. When we got married my husband owned just two suitcases with a few clothes. We met at church, and got married during the big recession, so steady work was not a luxury that we were able to enjoy. We have three kids and 10 grandkids. My husband is close to retirement now. He has been a true and loyal husband and father. Had I judged him as an unworthy partner because of his lack of money, or the fact that he couldn’t hold on to a job during our first few years of marriage, I would have missed out on a wonderful relationship along with our beautiful family. BTW, he was willing to marry me in spite of a previous marriage that gave us our first daughter. We are not the beautiful people on the outside that we were back at the beginning, but our time together has produced many more important qualities than just being attractive and employed.

    Theres quite a misogynistic vibe to this video. I was married for 32 yrs up until the death of my husband.
    The main difference with the younger generation is their tendancy to score on looks, personality and occupation which is an alien concept to me. This brings higher than realistic expectations in both sexes and can lead to loneliness in both males and females although the females are often more resourcful with dealing with this than males.
    The younger ones need to get out more and join clubs based on hobbies or other activities then they might meet someone with a shared interest and become friends first. They need to stay off Tinder which is mainly a hook up app if they want to find a serious partner. The emphasis is way too much on looks and sex these days so I'm not surpised younger people are feeling more depressed about their future prospects.

      I think what women offer is of interest and of value in different ways while a guy ages…especially the more a man gains a certain amount of experience!
      That’s why as a man at 53, now that I am divorced after an 8 1/2 year marriage since 2017 and childless?
      I am happy and even more so relieved at being aware (and experienced enough) I know what I have to invest in to attract and maintain a lay-dee doesn’t have a R.O.I as I thought it did in my youth and during my marriage…
      In fact, in my view, with the amount of M.E.A.T (Money, Energy, Attention & Time) required, I wouldn’t commit to any women no matter how ideal an example a woman may be…just b/c long term women become more incentivized to use their Hypergamy based on how well I fulfill what any one wants and needs in a relationship.

      To be married is to be a man trying to often unsuccessfully meeting the standards of one’s wife- all the while what one values and respects is either secondary, tertiary or non-issue or concern when everything else and everyone else important to the wife is first, second and etc.
      This is why it is my take that “all” women in degrees require that someone- someone usually a thirsty Beta-Bucks dullard is so blind to his own SMV but also even more so the SMV of his wife….as the lay-dee one invests in…

    What you have just described is basically a negative sum game. This "primitive" game evolved in times when survival rates were actually quite low so the relative risk of a hypergamous strategy was less.
    There's also the monumental problem of determining what a "high value" partner is - it ends up largely being what a manipulative and propaganda laden media system says it is.
    A much better way of looking at relationships is functional complementarity. People should form relationships to create and build something together. The ability to work as a team, agree on goals and work happily towards them is what matters. 99.9% of life is working towards goals, so it's the nature of the collaboration that matters most. Success is nice, but it's fleeting and nothing more than an optional icing on the cake. Any wise man or woman will know this. Wisdom is a rare quality.

      Western women are very arrogant and thinks she is on top of the food chain. Western women trash talks men every chance she gets. It is a waste of time to try to kiss up to western women. The divorce laws in western countries fully backs up western women. Only fools would try to marry one and when she divorces you, you men will pay dearly for it. The only way is to be with FOREIGN WOMEN. They are humble, maintenace free like Honda cars, and will make better wives. Don't say no one told you so, don't say no on warned you so!!

    Goal: Women getting a commitment from a top tier man (top 10%).
    Question: Of the five possible outcomes, which is most likely to happen:
    7:40 - A. Women keep price tag high & beat out competition.
    7:49 - B. Women lower their price tag and SUCCESSFULLY beat out competition.
    7:58 - C. Women keep price high, FAIL to beat competition and SETTLE FOR LESS.
    8:07 - D. Women lower their price tag, STILL FAIL and still SETTLE FOR LESS.
    8:16 - E. Women neither secure nor settle and, BY CHOICE, END UP W/ CATS & BOX WINE.
    Doc, my first answer is C. My second guess would be E.
    And for women, that “practical” handbag not only gets the same job done but it also isn’t trying to be stolen from you.

      Stop hanging out with your single friends.
      Women get jealous as they get older. They WILL start to poison your mind very slowly over time. They'll eventually try to convince you that you could do better.
      Say what you want now, but one day your husband will be at a low point. He'll need you more than ever. And the temptation to abandon him at that moment will seem overwhelming.
      I've seen too many decent women fall prey to peer pressure and start believing the lies.

    The behavioural economics of this is spot on. But the bit about option D/E being "bottom of the rung" is an outdated understanding. Actually the women I know who are 60+, childless, never married have the happiest of lives. Women make great girlfriends - maybe only a handful - but their friendships are very deep & wholesome. So they experience the joys of non-romantic companionship/togetherness just fine. I am a 40+ childless soon-to-be-divorced woman. And I'd be lying if I said I never once felt the ache of "I may never find someone again". But let me tell you, being alone, childless, with your sanity, your own money, and healthy friends - beats being married to a narcissist any single day. Choosing your inner peace is a top-of-the-pile, diamond-tier option.

They learned and still believe that if they provide access to sex, they have marriage. Plus by 40, they've been through all the emotional damage in life and want to "get it right" next time. So they're looking for something even more perfect and unattainable than they were in their 20s.

Meanwhile older men dating younger women always say "young women are so simple, they're so easily satisfied", if older women were easier you'd see the opposite effect, you'd see young men going for older women en masse, but "cougars" are rare and most women don't want younger men, meanwhile younger women are more open to dating older men than older women are to dating younger men.

    I neither have nor want a designer bag. None of my female friends, colleagues, or patients have them either.

    My husband died suddenly and very unexpectedly a few months ago. We were together nearly 44 years. I don't know whether you would have considered him "high value," but I certainly did.
    So the "endgame" for me-- insofar as this is the end, as I am likely to live quite a while yet-- is not a matter of what sort of marriage I have, but what sort of widowhood. A very different perspective.
    I think it's worth mentioning that no matter what sort of partnership a woman finds herself in, since women tend to live longer than men, unless she is with a much younger man the "endgame" is likely to be living alone. We need to plan for that contingency.

      While true, the problem is that a lot of 30-year-old men are just barely starting to acquire dating experience, while the women their same age or even younger have had a lot, lot more "experience." Some men reach their 30s having improved themselves significantly, motivated by the hope to be a more enticing partner choice for women so that they (the men) can then finally have some significant dating experience. We see a ton of women complaining about men, especially from women in their 30s and 40s. The complaints are usually that the men are "not committing", "immature", and "playing games" (or in other words "Men ain't s**t"). The thing is that most of these women in their 30s and 40s getting frustrated with men are either pursuing the "top 10%" of men who have way too many options and will likely never settle with anyone, or these women are "pursuing" (or perhaps you can call it "settling for" even though it really shouldn't be seen that way) a man that is close to their age and RMV, but who has had very little dating experience (and is totally justified in wanting to acquire more dating experience before committing).
      Modern trends are leaving most 30-something-year-old men with very little dating experience, and a very small portion of 30-something-year-old men with a ton of dating experience. If a 30-something-year-old woman pursues a 30-something-year-old man with a ton of dating experience, she is extremely unlikely to secure commitment from that guy. (Those guys rarely commit to any women and if they do commit, it is to a woman in the "top 5%" [and most 30-something-year-old women do not even really know a "top 5%" woman, because a huge majority of the "top 5%" women are in a younger age bracket.) If the 30-something-year-old woman pursues (or "settles for" - even though it really shouldn't be perceived as settles) one of the many 30-something-year-old men with very little dating experience, it would be very unfair for her to expect that man to commit to her unless she too has had very little dating experience, which is unlikely.

    My problem with the perceived SMV that people have is that it is based mostly on superficial attributes. Browsing a dating app is all about the superficial. Just because a girl is young and pretty does not mean she will be a good wife. Just because a man is tall and handsome does not mean he will commit to marriage or be a good husband. If you get to know someone in real life, you may discover a diamond in the rough. Character matters in the long run. We all age. Dating apps are cancer.

    I married down but allowed time to balance things out. When I met my husband I was earning twice as much as him and was the more educated. I chose to ignore all that as I am old fashioned. I married him, got pregnant and quit working outside the home. 18 years later my husband is earning three times what I was when we met and we live comfortably on one income while I stay home to homeschool. Life is great when you ignore feminism and live according to the old ways. Oh, and I don't own a designer handbag. I don't own designer anything. I don't even own a smart watch or a brand name mobile phone. I don't even have my own car or brand name clothes. I haven't even purchased any clothes for myself (besides under garments) for over five years now. All my other fit, are in my size, my colouring and body type why would I need to buy more??

    Thanks for video, well done. Although I found this analysis interesting, I assume I'm too old for much of it to apply to me at this point in time. After ending a 30-year marriage that had become unfulfilling 12 years ago, I tried dating for 10 of those years and have all but given up. I had success attracting women and began relationships with a few of them but they ended in heartbreak and regret. Even though I presume the dynamics are different for people dating in their 50's, 60's and 70's, some of the factors mentioned in the video do apply. Since many single people over 50 are still seeking a mate or at least considering it, I wonder if the doctor would consider making a video similar to this one that focuses on older folks. Sex is still the main driving force for older men, although probably not procreative sex. Older women are well past their need for concern over their biological clocks. But the 'market forces' in the dating pool amongst older people are still very much in play but in many ways the stakes have changed. It could make for an interesting sequel to this video.

    • @edithflood631
      @edithflood631 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Agreed. In many ways the stakes (asset pool) is higher and disparities greater and interested parties (children) more numerous. Then there are the complexities like testamentary issues (wills)… life tenancies, mutual wills with accompanying deeds, testamentary trusts…all the complex ways people need to organize their affairs so that children (even step-children who may have little legal standing) from prior marriages are not left out of the estate. Maybe we need a video on the love side and another one on the legal side for older people?

      @Proj.A.Z 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think what women offer is of interest and of value in different ways while a guy ages…especially the more a man gains a certain amount of experience!
      That’s why as a man at 53, now that I am divorced after an 8 1/2 year marriage since 2017 and childless?
      I am happy and even more so relieved at being aware (and experienced enough) I know what I have to invest in to attract and maintain a lay-dee doesn’t have a R.O.I as I thought it did in my youth and during my marriage…
      In fact, in my view, with the amount of M.E.A.T (Money, Energy, Attention & Time) required, I wouldn’t commit to any women no matter how ideal an example a woman may be…just b/c long term women become more incentivized to use their Hypergamy based on how well I fulfill what any one wants and needs in a relationship.
      In fact long term, considering the dwindling SMV of Lay-Dees…?
      Time may be on men’s side but only if we refrain from committing and investing long term or in LTRs…
      ….sadly, men still may falter knowing this b/c we still suffer terribly for our thirst and delusions on what we think want from Lay-Dee physical intimacy and validation…even as we as men age…
      My choice Dr. Taraban? Yup, you got it right…as women age they become more and more expensive to invest in and maintain, including the cost of rearing and caring for “their” children, meeting the demands and expectations by name, considering their goals (said to be “Our goals”)and wants for ideal lifestyle and as well as managing often their bad choices economically and in regard to their own health related concerns that require real attention- apart from having to deal with one’s own….
      To be married is to be a man trying to often unsuccessfully meeting the standards of one’s wife- all the while what one values and respects is either secondary, tertiary or non-issue or concern when everything else and everyone else important to the wife is first, second and etc.
      This is why it is my take that “all” women in degrees require that someone- someone usually a thirsty Beta-Bucks dullard is so blind to his own SMV but also even more so the SMV of his wife….as the lay-dee one invests in…
      MEN are hardly knowledgeable of what we are sharing versus what women are really actually investing in the guy they marry….
      My view of what the end game is for MEN investing in a woman in one of your noted “end games” for women?
      Men will actually or learn to see through experience how women are really just costly “sacks” of wants, expectations and demands- that a man has to buy over to risk all he has all the while the same “sack” costs more, more and MORE…overtime!
      …while anyone of US (in a committed LTR) gets less and less from what we invest in over-valued “Sack”!!!
      Boys and MEN? We are quite pitiful! WE would be better off NOT investing at all in dumb, legal Ponzi-Scheme!

      You are a "regular woman" and he is a "regular man" to the world. To each other you are the one. We need to remember that all these categorisations and ratings are not meant to bunch up people as products and even the term "sexual marketplace" and "high and low values" are only meant as metaphors to enable us speak of these issues. If we go by these metaphors, then it is always best to chose a spouse that is roughly matching your own value at least speaking of external appearance and then if possible of the same broad socio-economic bracket, catering of course for the fact that in very higher echelons you find mostly men, hence men will always be expected to be earning substantially more (ideally more than 150% of what their women earn). In plain metaphoric terms, if you as a woman you are a 5 you better look men between 4,5 and 5,5 - these are the ones closest to your level and these are precisely the men that are more prone to propose to you and not see you as merely a few nights stand.
      Both men and women fail often in this. Women mistake sexual interest with romantic interest which for men is not at all the case. A woman that is 5/10 may very easily lure a 7, even an 8 for one or two nights of sex but that is the best she can get out of him - the best scenario is that she becomes his booty call that he uses when he passes a dry spell period. In fact men who are 8s have a list of 5s-6s which they rotate to keep them entertained but when they start thinking of marriage they will only consider 7s and 8s not their "f-buddies". Then those wealthy men who are a 5/10 in appearance and with average game skills mistake the monetary interest of sexy women in them as genuine interest thus falling prey to their predatory patters. They may marry them but too soon they will find out their wives are not interested in them, just in the lifestyle and thus their marriage ends up becoming miserable, suffering cheating and humiliation let alone the divorce rape they undergo in courts.
      You may find hyper-wealthy men such as Zuckerberg who married their college sweetheart. He was a 5, she was a 5 or 4,5, both very average the "regular man and regular woman". With his money and wealth he could have married just any hot woman he wanted, but he stuck with the woman that picked him back when he was just a random young student. And good thing he did, he risks not seeing her filing for divorce or cheating unless she catches him doing so in the first place.

But people delude themselves, thinking, 'Oh, it won't happen to ME!'. With the first child, her husband is now playing second fiddle to those kids for the rest of his life. How many married men are still having hot, spontaneous sex as much as they want to? Very, very few. Because the wife is now in charge of his sex life; he no longer has any other option other than his five fingers.

    Great analysis. I'ts so accurate and perfect, I've had to watch twice.

Mainly because of red-pill movement which raises men conscious about women nature and situation we are facing.

    The problem for women is that they've internalized a sense of high value to the point of delusion from their experiences in their 20s, and "feel" they still have that value in their 30s and 40s, but they no longer do. Only those women that realize eventually that men are the prize, and they need to work to earn his love, respect and attention, will find a mate who will commit to them. I don't date women who think the men are lucky to get their time on a date (that kind of girl ends up alone long term).

    The reason why the tradition of men asking at women has survived is because asking someone out requires a great deal of courage. And while women can half courage and many do.

    The way it’s supposed to work is that women marry a man early, before he got into his prime. It’s an investment. She chooses wisely, ensures she doesn’t violate the agreement by sleeping with other men, or failing to support the husband. In return the husband succeeds in his career and ensures that the woman is protected and cared for. Both parties fill their role. The roles are different…but equal in importance. In return the woman got the ability to divorce for half and alimony if the man was unfaithful or just a bad guy, because it’s expected she can’t do that again with another man.
    Now There’s no investment, no support, no chastity.

    I'm 60 and married for 28 years. With age and experience, it seems so obvious what women should do to secure a great partner and family for life. (Admittedly, 30 years earlier I had no clue). The solution for 30's women getting up in age, and still single should do the following: Live more conservatively (buy the knock off handbag), be realistic about their dating / mating options. This likely means settling for the trust worthy, loyal man who is less exciting, somewhat lower (but stable) earnings, and somewhat lesser in looks who will love and provide for you for life. Finally be courageous enough to actually ask a man (on your level) out on that first date - you will triple your chances of success rather than waiting for him to approach you. Also from experience, I can tell you that such women will do the exact opposite.

    I think the sad thing about this video (and current outlook on relationships in general) is that it only focuses on a transactional relationship. Value/worth of a partner doesn’t pertain to money, looks, or possessions or what you will receive from the other person… there’s an immeasurable value to the quality of a person, the emotional intelligence and choice to care for your person, that far outweighs an offer of just financial security or a pretty face. Because women can now better support themselves financially, requirements are beginning to shift. If you choose to look at partners as a commodity, then you will grow tired of them; it’s inevitable.

    Many people focus on women's biological clock, or, fertility window. It seems to me that men have a window too, but it looks like this: By the time a man reaches 30 he is more likely in charge of his libido, rather than the other way 'round. His rational faculties cause him to assess the situation in terms of cost/benefit vs risk of being destroyed by the situation.
    If a woman cannot lock a man down within that 10 year window, her quest to acquire a commitment becomes much more difficult. In youth, a man can be more easily captured by the simple offer of physical gratification. After 30 women keep trying to secure commitment by offering more of the only relationship skill they know. Men accept the offers but there are rarely any reciprocal commitments. Once men learn to enjoy living alone, with all the risks involved and virtually no benefits (apart from the physical), men have no incentive to change their status quo.
