Given the state of modern courtship, in which sex precedes commitment, many women are concerned about "being used" in the dating process. Unfortunately, there is no way around this. Just like most men have to expose themselves to potentially being used for their resources to secure a relationship, most women have to allow themselves to run the risk of being used sexually to get the same. The alternative to being used is being ornamental, which (for better or worse) is not a viable option for most women. That said, in this episode, I discuss how to reduce the likelihood of poor dating outcomes for women in light of this reality.

I cannot appreciate you enough, sir. A girl I've been seeing wants a lot from me but wants me to be a "friend". I am, an honorable guy, sick and tired of raw deals like this and told her so! Awaiting her response. This video will be sent to her asap.
@@BeautiHacks A lot (and I don't have a hell lot of time) of things that cost me much time (and some money). I told her that no high-value, self-respecting, healthy man with blood flowing thru his veins would accept her arrangement (straight out of Orion's videos),
@@BeautiHacks she wants me to help her write her damn doctoral dissertation - specifically, doing high-level statistical analysis . the girl is pretty, 29 and may have someone in the background. I've known her for 4 months. Awaiting her response. I asked for more than being "friends", clearly suggesting some actions and romance. why are there such (unreasonable) creatures on this earth?
My girlfriend exceeded my expectations in every way while we were dating. She put herself together by dressing well and taking care of herself through diet & exercise, she read a lot of non-fiction which keeps the intellectual gears going, she cooked & cleaned her own place on a daily basis, and she showed me how much she cared for me beyond what I offered in resources or attention. And it's a two-way street. I levelled up my financial game by going after better work, kept in shape, and spent time with her where I showed her I cared for her beyond just the sex. We've been married for 27 years and we still strive to be our best selves for each other. Sure, we falter from time to time, but the intention to make ourselves the best possible partner to the other is always there. I don't think building a life together really works any other way.
While reading your comment, I wondered for a second if it was my boyfriend writing this comment under a throwaway account. You sound exactly like him, and the way I behave sounds exactly like your girlfriend (now wife). I am happy to hear that this type of relationship can be sustained for so many years, it gives me hope! May you have at least as many happy years in the future with your beloved ❤
Life is a series of games and some of the games aren't worth playing. Key lesson from my business school years... "Don't play games you can't win." So, the last point, play your cards well, is critical to success. Your resources are limited and there are many rigged games, with zero or negative sum outcomes for you. Choose wisely.
@@constantinethesecond949 yeah but common sense/knowledge is not really commone that's because we're programmed since birth to remain dumb and poor and never learn any critical thinking skills
@@imjaimja "look for a guy that loves you more and can take care of a family with good character to pass it to their kids " Ha, ha. Do you watch Manosphere Highlights Daily? He did a video a year or two ago. It featured an attractive black comedienne. She was telling a GF what she wanted in a man. Her first list was Alpha traits: attractive, tall, muscular, charismatic, etc. Her second part of the convo was Beta traits: he truly loves me, he wants a family, he'd be a terrific father, etc. She then played the part of her GF, who pointed out to her that the man she WANTS in the first list, is NOT the man with the traits she wants in the second part of the convo. In short: w0men today don't want the man you described.
@@M0viLover stop with the extremes. There are many men out there with both alpha and beta traits. Your superficial Western culture tends to pedestalatize the alpha and denigrate the beta.
I get it if you're looking at a relationship as business like "what do I get out of it?" But it seems to be that all happy & healthy relationships are naturally about loving and giving without wondering what you get in return. I was with someone who wanted to know what "my offer" was and now my boyfriend naturally sees what my offer is and is of much higher value than my ex.
Just because you don’t worry about what you have to “offer” in a relationship, doesn’t mean others aren’t nor should be a bad thing. Because there’s a difference between knowing what you want or looking for and settling for whatever is available. Nothing in life is entirely free as there’s always a cost. Be it your time, resources, attention & etc.
Orion in another episode explained how all relationships are a medium through which value is exchanged. In plain terms, they are transactional by nature. Our platonic friends, family and romantic partners etc. by default expect a mutually beneficial relationship otherwise they're going to feel used and resentful. It is an uncomfortable truth that many couples tend to overlook when everything is all rosey and smooth however, the transactional nature inherent in relationships become apparent when one party begins to feel shortchanged as a result of unmet expectations they have of the other party. In short, there's no such thing as unconditional love in romantic relationships.
@@KwekuTed sometimes one person can be disappointed by shortcomings but if you’re in a committed relationship you make the choice every day to stand by your partner through thick and thin. I’m madly in love with my husband but at the moment I’m feeling disappointed by his failed business venture and string of bad financial luck, but it doesn’t change anything. I love him and I committed to stand beside with him through the hard times.
@@berlincrystal2873 My question to you is, you say your current partner is higher value than your ex. What determines his higher perceived value to you? You are choosing your current partner and recognizing his higher value and that’s what has you stay with him. That means you are sizing people up based on what they can give you, even if what you’re getting is status or some other indirect benefit. We are all always making choices in life based on perceived value. Which in other words just means, what am I getting in return for my investment?
I have zero interest in a woman who rushes to make sex a central part of what is meant to be a long term relationship. Getting to know her first really helps men with their discernment too.
This definitely is the channel I've run into that most subtly, cleverly and insidiously promotes absolute hedonic utilitarianism with relish and gusto, while completely undermining the necessary metaphysical basis needed for most men and women to find life meaningful and worth pursuing. The metaphysical assumptions of this "thinker" seems to be that everything can and should be optimized by utility in the alleged "sexual marketplace." One may wonder, however: since everyone is going to lose in the "sexual markeplace" at some point, what is the point? Why even play the videogame that this channel portrays as the nature of social reality? I've found the videos here to be compelling and attractive, which is what makes them so insidious. Be careful of dissolving the meaning you need to have the motivation to live life with too much "realism." Because unstated assumptions matter.
I wish I knew this information in my prime time. Instead I heard all the BS from the women around me who had no clue, including my mother. Now in my 50s and divorced it’s kind of late for me. I do share this valuable info with any women who will listen. Thank you doc!!! Another great video.
I’m sure you wouldn’t have listened to this info even if you got it in your prime. Feminism has done a great job at manipulating women, especially younger ones.
not too late. you look attractive in your pic. go out and dont be afraid to ask a guy out, its a huge compliment. men are not complicated- Secks, food, and lack of drama. thats it. women want newness drama, uberstimulation. Men just want stability, Good Luck
The premise is valid to a point. My experience is that both genders are looking for someone they can relate to… that they connect with. Sex follows when there’s a nourishing, mature, human understanding. All this talk is not as relevant when there’s a connection. I think what’s important is for people to have the inner security and personality skills to know how to relate. Another thing: I think what we all really want is NOURISHMENT. We have many short term relationships, so we need to know how to enjoy the nourishment of being with each other. Unfortunately, there really are toxic and emotionally undeveloped people out there who skew the conversation. Date, Enjoy, and consider what a long term relationship would be. With God’s blessing you will find your love.
I don’t know if calling it “being used” is the right term. It emphasizes passivity. I think the idea is to be aware that some relationships may lead nowhere. However, if you start to feel exploited, have the courage to leave such a person. In essence, my approach is a “healthy” egoism. In relationships I try to prioritize both them and me. Because if you are too self-centered, it’s “using” another person. And if you are too selfless, you may end up “being used” and not able to protect yourself. One should love both others and themselves to be able to build a fulfilling relationship.
Women and men in long term relationships both feel like slaves. As a woman I work hard to look nice and keep the fridge stocked, pay my share of the bills, take care of the kids, weed the garden, keep up on laundry etc. There are times I feel burnt out and feel like a slave to my family. But the thing is my husband feels the same way. He has to pay his part of the bills, drive the kids around, mow the lawn, make home repairs etc. He often feels like a slave as well. It’s all about effort, no matter how tired we are we’ve just got to keep working as a team and picking up the slack where the other leaves off. Relationships and raising families are a team effort and it takes a LOT of effort from both parties.
A relationship man /women is like your partner at work, you work daily 8 hrs together or greater and with the right one. The pair of you will always get the good jobs or the ones that take skill to finish. Same as Marriage, If you can't work together and do your expected part your marriage does not meet his or hers expected goal. Then that problem just grows as a problem grows with your employee partner slacking off at work.
@@thomaspepper2201 Exactly. But unlike a coworker relationship you also have love and commitment. So there are times where there’s an imbalance and one person has to put in more work than the other due to various reasons like health issues, job loss, etc.
@@mamadoom9724 I've always needed the answer of if your spouse makes the choise of not taking care of ther phyisical health, drink to much, eating the wrong foods, basicly tanking their health and body image, You have ZERO control of that. Then there self esteme is lost, there grumpy, no sex, no fun as the past from things you did as young lovers. Basicly because of this choice from them ,now you work load has changed , you lost your fun, there angry. This is were the commitment thing comes into play. They are commited aswell to you and they fail there commit to you. You can't fix them, YOUR BEING HURT BY THEM, Whats the need to keep the relationship or job. As an employer you lose your job due to inability to preform, so how is leaving a relation ship any different THEY HAVE FAILED AT THERE COMMITMENT AT THERE choosing. i WILL NOT LET MYSELFD BE HURT ?
@@keijimorita1849 It is exhausting sometimes but I’d say it’s worth the effort. Two people working together as a couple can accomplish a lot. You can build assets quicker and it’s nice to have the security of knowing there’s someone who loves you. I spent a handful of years single and it felt kinda lonely, like there was always something missing. It’s nice to have someone you love to cuddle with at night.
The saddest thing about it is that his title is putting it very simplistic and as a person who witnessed women acting bizarre, especially in the dating scene. I can definitely say for sure that unless you've been living under a rock 🪨 women have been doing this since the dawn of time. Depsite he made a bold title for the video. What he is saying is essentially nothing new! I've have a gut feeling his advice won't be taking seriously.
The issue here is that women think they ARE ALREADY the CEO of the company auditioning men for their personal assistant job, without realizing, or far too late, that, in fact, they are the candidate to the men they want...
You're right that women feel that they are already the CEO. Given the vast number of simps applying, women are right. More women than men are getting what they want in this marketplace.
The best way to get a promotion is to do the job you want to get promoted into. Take on more responsibility and perform at a higher level, and the promotion is obvious because you're already there. If you want to be a wife, be a wife now. Any woman that says she'll be a good wife, but only after getting married is lying to you, if not to herself also.
Why would you get promoted by doing the job that you want to get promoted into? I would think that the company would save money by keeping you at the same level and USING you.
@@TaureanDreams Create a portfolio of sort, consisting of past work experience in said promotion work. If your current employer doesn't promote you, why not go to a competitor with the portfolio?
@@kurisey8020 I was just agreeing with the previous commenter b/c I have seen this happen. I personally will always leave and get a promotion and raise
A point of clarification, while sex before commitment is the modern norm. It is not what sets a women apart from her competition. A helpful and supportive women is the role when you are auditioning to be a wife to a highly successful man.
I completely disagree that women have to allow themselves to be used sexually if they want a man. I do agree that everyone is required to demonstrate value if they wish to be chosen by a potential partner. As a woman, I take a risk by opening my heart, expressing desire and respect for a man, letting him know I’m interested, listening to him, being nurturing. Providing companionship and things he can’t get from other men who are always competing with him or sizing him up. I’m different because I accept and appreciate him. Yet he could reject me even after all that. This is the way in which women must risk being used, not by spreading our legs. I preserve my value by not having sex with men who have not committed to me. And I am able to do this because I get interested in average, good men instead of obsessing over the Uber-attractive narcissistic men at the top 1%. Those men are never kind anyway, who wants ‘em. This is how I preserve my value, take risks to find love, and recognize high quality men that others may overlook.
This. As a man reading this warms my heart a little. Maybe we're not doomed after all, but I find it difficult to stumble across women with your mentality.
"Uber-attractive narcissistic men". They're not narcissitic, they just don't see you at their level. Also your choice (if true, because i suspect it's not) means you will have to eliminate and be eliminated by a lot of men. It's a sad reality that people with options pursue the best options available to them.
Such spicy takes. I don’t disagree though. This is why a lot of people in corporate end up marrying each other-they have the discipline to show up every day, exercise enough politics, and make the necessary tradeoffs to get the job done. The problem is people become very complacent and feel like they get free passes to not do shit without realizing how competitive the market is.
Sorry Doc, have to disagree on this. A woman that let herself to be used outside of a commited relationship will be viewed as a used good, and lower her value in the sexual market place. To use your corporate analogy, if an employee lets himself to be used without having backed by strong labour laws and union, the employee will be used and squeezed without getting the appropriate compensation.
This goes along with Dr Taraban's advice to be the nastiest sluttiest version of yourself for the man you want a relationship with. There is nothing BUT risk out there if you are dating. If you have used proper discernment to select a candidate, why not throw all you can at it. To do otherwise is setting yourself up for failure or to be alone. The one who overpays, gets the job.
@@imjaimja I agree with you but both can be true. I think the guy in the video was more emphasizing that women should also make meaningful deposits into the relationship and I agree. Every man doesn’t have to be a CEO to have a vision. Allow a man to pursue and take care of course but it doesn’t mean that the woman shouldn’t co-create with him. A woman can help cultivate the relationship without depleting herself.
Give your daughter that advice. I hope you do that. Live what you preach. 😂 And your daughter gets used. We have three daughters. All of them in relationships with good men. Always told them to meet his family first & let us meet them too. If they are good, proceed with courtship & intimacy. There is less likelihood to be used when family’s involved. Our daughters have never been “ornamental”or alone. Quite the opposite. Very popular. They’ve dated different types under our supervision. And we have made friends with families. That’s how we do it in our circles. Keep the status of our daughters & family high. Our girls have always demanded respect & friendship first. Only mixing with good families. Your advice will let women get used without leading to marriage. It’s unsophisticated & lacks any sense of sensibility. Women have to question whether this is a good stable man from a good family or not. If they lay out this demand before intimacy, they get the chance to really see if it’s a good match or not. Know a man’s friends & family first. Spend a vacation together with his family & then go to bed. Unless it’s of course only for pleasure. If you’re a non stable woman from a traumatic family. Make sure to work on your self first. When you’re healed, you’ll know who to look for & don’t lower your standards of personality, but lower your standards of physical appearance.
Amen. This man clearly is not getting what he wants from women and is now being the devil telling women to give men what they want in exchange for a relationship. Ladies, please don't take his advice. It will ruin you. A real man will not take advantage of you. Only meet with men who are ready for marriage and that speak of the future on the first date. Men who are ready for commitment and responsibility will say they want to get married, they want to have children and they want ALL THIS in the near future! Make it easier for you. Don't interact or meet with any man who doesn't clearly showcase their seriousness. If you find dates on apps, only match with men who specifically look for long term partners. It will narrow down your choices. It's like shopping... if you're looking for yellow pants, why then look at red ones. Don't waste your time on devils. Look for god.
If they allow themselves to be used, they will become used goods, and used goods do not fetch a high price. The trick is to be perpetually useful, perhaps indispensable, and not merely fit for one time use only.

You're just playing with language, not adding anything
The only problem with that reasoning is: It $TiLL doesn't account for the CHAD$ who can (and often do) have any and every woman they want. It doesn't matter how loyal and useful a woman makes herself... even if she's on the CHAD'$ level. He can have any woman he wants, even to the point that multiple women will $HARE him rather than "settle" for a man slightly above their own level. What is the answer for this conundrum? I don't know, because you're never going to be able to get women of every level to stop lusting after CHAD$ and taking up his offer to bed them (even if she's in a relationship) if/when he comes sniffing their way. 🤷♂
Thank you for stating this fact. There’s too many women operating as wives without a ring for men, simply to remain in dead end girlfriend relationships for YEARS because some men don’t buy the cow when the milk is free.
The first part is true, but I don't know how a woman can be perpetually useful. After the first one dumps her, her value is damaged and there is nothing she can do about it.
@@brandonmartin8270 Considering the world's population, most people probably don't celebrate Christmas. Many people in the States don't for various reasons as well.😂
Ahhh I am so happily single 😂 But when I was dating I used to not listen to anything that guys said, because they will say anything to get what they want. Instead I would just keep my eyes open and observe their behaviour; if you do this, you will understand everything and then you can make your choice accordingly.
His statement that you need to have sex before you can get a guy to have a relationship with you is absolutely false. However the principle that you must contribute value to someone’s life if you want them to desire you, is absolutely true. Be deeply valuable in a man’s life, contribute your femininity and positivity and support to him. Stick to your standards, whatever they are, and find a man who values that.
In principle, you’re correct, but I will say that for a man that highly values sexual compatibility and enthusiasm, indulging in that arena is apart of being of value. Sex is a form of intimate communication, after all.
He never made that statement. You assumed it and so many women in these comments are doing the same. Basically just telling on themselves. Your main point is correct.
So much about jobs, not all guys are super rich so why should females "work" for the average man? It's not about work. It's about respect for men. Plain and simple.
I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I normally agree with OT... but this sounds like "let's see where this will go" dating tactic. Discernment doesn't work if women date up only to become options or date down and elevate the down man to up and now he has options.
Women only date for benefit and attraction. If you have neither you get no woman. Now a woman may choose a broke man but she will leave when better option come. Same as a man he will leave when better options come. The difference is we a mem are penalized to the letter of the law while women are free to leave with no consequence. It's always lets see how this goes otherwise we'd be bound and honor the commitments we make, why do you oppose this
@@PlsSubramoni we all know of people who didn't pay the highest price when we did and we still lost. You mean to tell me I had to pay even more???!?!? I rather not play that game
It's a lottery tho. You'd for sure lose out on the best not giving your all. Your chances are at the highest when you give your all. Your chances are at 0 if you don't play the game @@jean-claudephilgence8371
A point of disagreement. Although many, if not most, average men have lower standards, all high value men hold higher standards and would not be willing to enter a long-term relationship with someone who has a high body count. You don't have to have sex to be used.
A woman can get a man to commit without being sexually used. You dont have to be a 10 out of 10 either or an "ornament". You just have to have self respect. Giving it up easy is terrible advice! He'll lose interest fast. If he respects you will wait, and if your smart ladies you " give in" when commitment is made.
Many women in the U.S. want a high value man. Sure, you can make a man wait , but not typically in the case of a high value man who, by definition, has a lot of sexual market optionality. But yes, a woman can often get a man she doesn’t really want to wait. That’s the definition of the friend zone; men who are waiting for acceptance of a woman who isn’t particularly interested in him.
I am a 52 yr old single female who just started to go back out in the dating world after 19 yrs. I really appreciate Orion's honesty, explanations and laying the truth out in each podcast. This one is golden!
If I may, you seem honest and open, and seeing you comment here makes me happy. Believe me when I say, if you take this channel's advice and apply it in earnest, you have the pick of the litter in men out there!
You are correct, I believe! Been around the block around the block and back again,you’re right! Doesn’t matter how old you are and how much you like them. If they’re in the mood to get it out there they will until they don’t.
I almost sent this video link to my sister, my only issue is that I feel like you're setting wonan up for failure. In that, if men gate keep commitment and woman gatekeep sex It doesn't benefit the woman to give sex without the commitment first. That example of the CEO and your boss decides to give you or not, how the cat decides the milk. I'm not so sure this advice is infact in the benefit of the females cos if she gave them all they want and allowed herself to be "used" as you put it, only sets her up for failure. There are relationship coaches that preach the opposite, it must be a win win situation This that you speak about, not balanced at all
The "used up" women in societies are called the whores and prostitutes who are ran through, nobody wants them. That's where this advice is leading the women who listen to you, into the arms of men to be easily used up and discarded. You don't even advice them to exercise their power to get the outcome they want as a win win cos you clearly think of that as "entitled" Please stick to topics for men, by men cos this is all this nonsense is.
@@Damesanglante let's use a different word. Men get to decide whether they give you commitment or not (they propose) Women decide whether they give you sex or not (the vagina is on her body) So, is it not entitlement what this man is saying? That the man is like the CEO or boss you must impress so give away all your power to him and expect for the best? Nah, women who hold off intimacy until exclusivity are all doing well in life, this man is just a clueless prick cos if you let them use you up, they won't infact respect you... You are immediately grouped under floozies What do you call a person who gives it up on the first date? Exactly, this advice is damaging and very patriarchal
The problem is that if we let ourselves be used physically we release chemicals that bond us with a person and I can’t stop those chemicals, then, once we’ve bonded, things change abd that’s where the fun starts feeling like pressure
I appreciate the advice. It definitely makes sense. The only stumping point is that if women's value go down the higher her body count, why should we keep adding to that count without proof of commitment/aka marriage? How can you get around this catch 22?
He goes over this in some other videos, of women having to be the “sluttiest version of themselves.” Means they can start out with handholding or making out or something more tame when first entering the dating market when young, and slowly working their way up for each subsequent guy. It’s definitely a balancing act, give enough to be considered, but don’t give everything in case it doesn’t work out. Also can be useful by making the man’s life easier, however that might be, whether cooking/cleaning/sex/therapy. Be someone he wants to keep in his life.
@@user-vx1up7ty7zwhy is the sentiment that a woman has to keep herself in a man’s life but not vice versa? What is a man doing to keep a woman in his life?

You can't. The only way you win is by betting on a future winner in your younger years like your mother and grandmother did. If he's already a winner, you're probably sharing him and being "used". You can always settle for a loser and he'll always commit but that's an L for you because you wouldn't respect him (and rightfully so).
I think the terminology may be misleading. In your analogy, you say your boss and customer need to be allowed to “use” you. To me that term implies giving something for nothing in return. My boss is not using me because I am being compensated for the service I am providing. I am absolutely available to be UTILIZED for a compensation of equal value I have agreed to. I am not available to be used and taken advantage of. Word choice can make a huge difference in the way a message like this is received, especially to women, but I suspect you know this. Wording likely intentional, maybe this comment is directed more towards the audience than the creator.
*"My boss is not using me because I am being compensated for the service I am providing. I am absolutely available to be UTILIZED for a compensation of equal value I have agreed to. I am not available to be used and taken advantage of."* Spot on 🎯👏👏👏🎯
Exactly! No need to ask someone what they are looking for or who they are. They will surely SHOW you! And in my experience, it won’t take very long. Just get to know people. It’s not that complex. Asking me what I’m looking for would be a wasteful question. I, like I imagine many others don’t always know exactly. Until it hits us like a Mack truck. And there may be something or someone to come along that I didn’t know I was “looking” for 👀. So answering the question could cause you to miss something 😊 you don’t know what you don’t know. I’d also add for me personally, I’m not looking for anything. But rather I’m continually working on being the best version of myself and living a life that makes me happy.

Yeah I don't trust him, having spent 2 years with a narc, there's too much of a similarity. Haven't seen enough of his content, but what I have seen I've yet to see any empathy. Hos whole approach is transactional however, the trademark way a narc operates.

It is true that some people lie about their intentions. Getting to know them and spending enough time with them will tell you whether they are genuine people. It might take some time and some mistakes to realize what types of people only want to use you. You want to be with someone who loves you and compromises with you, not uses you. It hurts to feel used, don’t allow it.
I think Orion is right about the practical acceptance of physical relationships happening before committment/marriage. I also think this will eventually trend back towards abstinance until marriage. Might take a couple decades but nothing that is readily available is valuable. At some point men and women will not want to accept their intimacy should be cheaply obtained.
I hope you're right, but "abstinence until marriage" absolutely requires a woman to be a virgin. No self-respecting man wants to be treated [worse] than the last guy.
@@andyfranks1575 Yeah. I do think there is a middle point though, woman with low single digit body count and a month or two of dating/courtship before sex.
Agree and vice versa, if someone's addicted to physical intimacy then it speaks volumes about their own character and no self-respecting person sleeps around as if they have no respect for themselves or for others, it's easy to grasp why that's the case imao so does it need any further explanation? I think not. @@andyfranks1575
You got a few things right, dating a man is a whole job, and you cant expect honesty from a man. It is for these reasons Women are opting out of marriage.
From one Andrew H to another- dead on mate. Women are more sexual than men. Our drives express themselves differently but they spend MUCH more time thinking of, preparing for, and having sex across the board. One of the most successful gaslighting campaigns of all time was telling men that we are the drivers of sex, and are somehow inherently degraded as a result.
Nonsense. He is trying to get women to be the way he wants, not what is best for women. His advice is terrible for women, but great for men. Notice how the men cheer him so much?? His advice will not land women quality men and will cause a lot of hurt.
Maybe the best breakdown i have come across concerning the "commercial" nature of male-female relationships and "stock value" on the sexual marketplace. Honors.
Maybe I'm missing the poinr, or maybe it's just that I am from a different generation, Men don't value; used. Especially not, well used. However, as I stated before, I am missing the point, or younger generations a men have a totally different value system.

This is a great Video. This brings back painful memories which i have been enduring. My relationship of 5 years ended 3 months ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
OMG this is wrong in so many ways, this advice does a great service for the pratriarchy, but very little to breach the gap between men and women. We need to learn to first love and grow ourselves a lot and then love and help other lives expand and evolve and become a better version of their selves. At least for me this is the way.
You just made me realize how happy I am as a traditional catholic with my marriage being based on the values of the encyclica casti cunubii. Happily married to my husband for 26 years with two adult children. We both were virgins with no boy- or girlfriend before. No contraceptives just simple Biologie to plan a family and always a good priest to confess and get a good advice round the corner. Assume if you look in a good Jewish communities your chances for a proper spouse might be higher as well. Ok some self discipline to follow but that trains for other problems and commitments in life aswell. So choose your values wisely because you will suffer their consequences.
Only way a woman can find out if a guy is a quality guy or not is to ask men to be trusted, meaning their father or their brothers. Other than that is will be shear luck. That mean that they can't and should not sleep around....
@PsycHacks ... first time caller, long time listener. And usually I do just listen. I agree with everything you said in this video except your opening premise on female vetting. Once upon a time I was a handsome teenager in Canadian (read: feminist) public school back in the 1980s. I was a Christian and would never "dishonour" a girl by playing around. My values included The Golden Rule and my spiritual belief demanded no sex before marriage. I never had any female interest until I would put out in my twenties, at which time I became a Toy Boy, having given up on "immature" women my own age. My male friends all told me I was too serious for the girls. I had a great time with women in my twenties and thirties , but no serious marriage interest until I became a Passport Bro at the age of 34. (I brought home my wife and child and, within 7 months back in Canada, I find myself in a traumatic Child Protective Services custody battle because I was raising my 10 year old daughter in home-school to be a 1950s self-reliant girl suitable for a high value man in another 8 years' time. The hateful attitude I get from the women here and from the CPS make me sick to my stomach. My daughter was the most well-behaved, selfless, and conscientious kid in our farming community until she was taken to the city without my even being given a hearing before a judge back in October. ) So my problem with your opening premise comes from my experience: that women are turned off with the notion of a serious relationship right from the start at an early age. This is due to gynocratic culture and the education system. If a man wants to find purity and honour in a girl/woman with whom to raise a family, he is SOL. And if he voices this goal to a potential mate, he will die an incel until he changes his attitude to pump and dump the women because this is all they have been taught to expect from themselves. I see the difference in my 10-year-old daughter's expectations for herself, and the old biddy hatred directed at her. So I cannot accept your opening premise, though I find the rest of your information to be spot on. Until women raise their self-expectations, believe in themselves as complements to a man rather than competitors, and are willing to approach being the COO of a family the same way they are taught to approach the C-Suite for the tax-office, there is no hope in your premise, in my honest opinion. .
I like a large part of this content. I do feel though, that it incites a lot of bitterness. The comments are filled with angry men and I really don’t feel welcome to comment without a lot of insulting replies. I don’t blame them; it indicates that the pendulum has swung and men are really fed up. But still, it feels kind of scary
Slight reframe in order to gain further perspective: many companies/bosses will see a worker so good at a particular role that the worker becomes viewed as indispensable ~ this can translate as un-promotable. I realize discernment comes into play here, curious if you would help round out this metaphor (ideally with advice on how to sense if/when this is the situation)?
A woman can interview without being used. That's what a relationship should be. Prove to me you have what I need. That my life would be better with you. They just don't get this. Instead, they put out bc feminism told them that is their worth.
9:45 Women being used are hurt very badly - so, NOT not so much. Rape, incest, the children born from these that they have to raise. Or just having children and him skipping out and now they have to do everything, maybe he’ll pay child support but probably not. This In addition to the ego slam behind all of this. There’s domestic abuse and psychological abuse that takes decades to recover. Please talk to a woman before uploading. This is irresponsible given you have a doctorate degree.
Why can't two things be true at the same time? People who "allow" themselves to be used are remiss but the exploiters are also bad people who should be scorned by society. This isn't a male vs. female thing it's a good person vs. bad person thing.
When committment stoped being a prerequisite for sex the argument of "exploitation" vanished. When modern women declare loudly that they have the right to sexual pleasure irrespective of commitment, then pure sex alone gets value.
I love your social analytics just as much as your comparisons to other aspects of life. It really helps drive the point and also provides a reference to topics. Thanks!
There are still pockets of men and women who believe marriage ought to preceed sex... it would be a lot simpler if that was the norm still, but it isn't.
You have completely convinced me that the feminist movement was a complete and utter failure. I feel so sad for young people today. When relationships are treated as a commodity.
Agreed. Actually if we went back to the religious and moral beliefs of a century ago, divorce rates would plummet. Marriages would increase and be happier than today.
Always remember that people behave the best they will ever behave during the trial (dating) phase of the relationship. If they behave badly in the beginning, it is only going to get worse. Most women these days have no idea, and don't care, what a man wants and if they did know, they would refuse to provide that thing just for spite.
Correct. What I've found of the women I meet just going about my day is that if they suggest something like hanging out together, in a way that would lead towards a relationship, they have no idea what to do except to sit back and be given free entertainment and experiences. It never crosses their minds that they have to do anything. When I indicate that if they want a relationship or want to spend time with me, they have to sacrifice the time, make an effort, and this horrifies them and they vanish.
@@EE12CSVTthe sad truth is that women (real ones, not the imaginary façade they wish to fool us with) do not seem to be designed for relationships. It seems like they are designed to be impregnated by the highest perceived value men (includes tingles and status) while simultarnously extracting resources from men they don't really value.
While I appreciate Ryan’s perspective on many things, I totally disagree with him on this matter, and I think he is giving bad advice to women in this video. There is no reason why the courtship process needs to include sex before at least a bf/gf level of commitment. No sex before commitment has been the norm throughout most of history in Western culture, and remains the norm in many non-Western cultures. The fact that this norm has been destroyed in the modern Western dating culture is one of the root causes for the horrible and ever worsening dysfunction we see in Western society today. The proof is in the pudding. If a man cannot accept investing the time necessary to get to know a woman first and then make a verbal commitment of asking her to be his girlfriend, then he shouldn’t expect to find a woman who is wife material, because insisting on sex before commitment necessarily filters out the women who are actually wife material. Similarly, if a woman puts out on the first date, no man in his right mind should view that woman as potential wife material, since she probably does the same for other guys too. “Why buy the cow when the milk is given out for free?” “A key that can open any lock is a master key; a lock that any key can open is a broken lock.” If a girl puts out easily, she is great for “fun”, but nothing more than that (i.e I put her in the “Friends with Benefits” Zone / “Situationship” Zone, which is the female equivalent of the Friend Zone.) If, on the other hand, she respects herself enough to put a high price of commitment on her own body and dignity (and respects her future husband enough to avoid running up her own body count before she finds her future husband) then THAT is the kind of woman I respect and that I see as potential wife material. That is instinctually how I categorize women with regard to dating, and I think most other men see it similarly.
"The fact that this norm has been destroyed in the modern Western dating culture": the norm has been destroyed by feminism and hormonal birth control. You can not get the genie back in the bottle, is not going to happen.
The price of sex has come down because it's supply has increased (contraception makes each encounter less risky from the woman's perspective). As a result, committing without sex no longer makes sense in the modern context
Is this directed to women who are "after" a very wealthy man? Is that what you consider a high value man? Otherwise...why not just tell women to stay away from players unless they want to play? Unless they are players themselves (for real)? The suggestion that women must put out sexually longer and even if it feels like "work" is absurd. That's the epitome of a rather meaningless and unfun relationship. The sex needs to be playful, fun and hot for both. Otherwise, what's the point? I certainly have never dated a guy and upfront asked "what is it you're looking for in this relationship?" Then again I've never been on dating apps and I've found plenty of interesting guys to be in relationships (and usually when I'm not looking). I think the most important thing is to be aware of pretty instant chemistry with a guy. Go slow, get to know him. You could be (and I'd say this is for women or men) when chemistry is that strong it's highly likely that unresolved family of origin dynamics are involved. Why not tell women to be smart, to know themselves and get to know any given man?
You're not mentioning the fact that a woman can go to a DIFFERENT "sexual marketplace" like in Pakistan, where they still believe in commitment first, ie marriage first, before sex, If they don't want to feel used and waste their time.
Hi everyone on the PsycHacks ✋🤗 Sometimes I compare a useful person to a piece of waste cloth or rags. In order to be valuable and important we need to be like rags which have many uses. Just my observation and POV .
I'm a huge believer in women who have had their 'fun' when they're 18-24, and when they're in their mid 20s and early 30's they want to settle down now with the men who they've turned down in the past who look pretty reliable for stability, and even still going behind their backs to cheat with the same guys who they had 'fun' with and offer no commitment.
At twenty, every single young woman will know exactly which kind of men she want to settle with. They won't reject a man fitting their needs unless they have a real and valid reason to turn down the relationship. Men look for fun while most women look for goals from a young age. If you help a woman to reach her goals, you're the man of the situation.
There's always the option of avoiding all this and abstaining until marriage, which is what we chose. Although, that *was* 15 years ago, before Tinder, and hook-up culture, and "sex precedes commitment" sadly all became the norm.
there isn’t actually a single set of rules that applies to everyone when it comes to relationships. Some people end up with their high school sweetheart, and that’s OK, but most people don’t, and that’s OK. If you weren’t aware, this channel is more about over-achieving men and the women that go after them. That’s why his main analogy is about “market value“. saving sex for marriage isn’t right or wrong, its a personal choice. it might be the best case scenario, but once you’ve “pulled the trigger” its do-or-die, isnt it? I believed in that and married the woman I lost my virginity to and years later found out she has borderline personality disorder and is a deceitful and manipulative sack of shit. too late now 🤷♂️
Usually I'm interested in vsrious ideas, hut now I finally decided to block this channel. Does he know any real men? Any real women? It's about respect and building a betterworld together.
What is a real man or a real woman in a mariage and its dynamics ? What’s the job description for a real man ? and the job description for a real woman ? How do a man & a women build a mariage, before children arrive. Those children have to be raised in order to become functioning and respectful adults ?
@@TaphaSow75 Just normal people who love and help, friends at work and family friends, not trying to use others for everything, not making everything a gender issue, just meeting people and caring for them.
I’ll likely watch this video later, but I want to comment on the title. My guess is once I watch the video I’ll realize that what you refer to “allowing ones self to be used” is what I’d consider not being used at all but rather being helpful in any way I can to someone I care about. Maybe it’s merely semantics but it feels like mere provocation. And it’s working. 😅
5:20 i love how you drop in sharp statements like this in your videos they’re bound to make most women’s blood boil haha but those who are genuinely looking for help will see the truth in your statements
Hello Orion: There is lady on TH-cam who makes short videos, her name is BillieRae. Regarding the question of "how to apply for the position of girlfriend", part of her answer was "when ever you are at his place, tidy things up for him." In different ways, both of you have said the same thing. Have a lovely day.

Given the state of modern courtship, in which sex precedes commitment, many women are concerned about "being used" in the dating process. Unfortunately, there is no way around this. Just like most men have to expose themselves to potentially being used for their resources to secure a relationship, most women have to allow themselves to run the risk of being used sexually to get the same. The alternative to being used is being ornamental, which (for better or worse) is not a viable option for most women. That said, in this episode, I discuss how to reduce the likelihood of poor dating outcomes for women in light of this reality.

I cannot appreciate you enough, sir. A girl I've been seeing wants a lot from me but wants me to be a "friend". I am, an honorable guy, sick and tired of raw deals like this and told her so! Awaiting her response. This video will be sent to her asap.
@@jn3750 What does she want from you while only wanting to be friends?
@@BeautiHacks A lot (and I don't have a hell lot of time) of things that cost me much time (and some money). I told her that no high-value, self-respecting, healthy man with blood flowing thru his veins would accept her arrangement (straight out of Orion's videos),
@@jn3750 What did she say? How long have you known her? And what exactly does she want? Is she dating any other guys? How old is she?
@@BeautiHacks she wants me to help her write her damn doctoral dissertation - specifically, doing high-level statistical analysis . the girl is pretty, 29 and may have someone in the background. I've known her for 4 months. Awaiting her response. I asked for more than being "friends", clearly suggesting some actions and romance. why are there such (unreasonable) creatures on this earth?
My girlfriend exceeded my expectations in every way while we were dating. She put herself together by dressing well and taking care of herself through diet & exercise, she read a lot of non-fiction which keeps the intellectual gears going, she cooked & cleaned her own place on a daily basis, and she showed me how much she cared for me beyond what I offered in resources or attention. And it's a two-way street. I levelled up my financial game by going after better work, kept in shape, and spent time with her where I showed her I cared for her beyond just the sex. We've been married for 27 years and we still strive to be our best selves for each other. Sure, we falter from time to time, but the intention to make ourselves the best possible partner to the other is always there. I don't think building a life together really works any other way.
While reading your comment, I wondered for a second if it was my boyfriend writing this comment under a throwaway account. You sound exactly like him, and the way I behave sounds exactly like your girlfriend (now wife).
I am happy to hear that this type of relationship can be sustained for so many years, it gives me hope! May you have at least as many happy years in the future with your beloved ❤
It's sad that testimonials like these don't get any attention on RP channels. I love Dr. Orions work! But his audience is largely bitter.

@@imjaimja "look for a guy that loves you more and can take care of a family with good character to pass it to their kids " Ha, ha. Do you watch Manosphere Highlights Daily? He did a video a year or two ago. It featured an attractive black comedienne. She was telling a GF what she wanted in a man. Her first list was Alpha traits: attractive, tall, muscular, charismatic, etc. Her second part of the convo was Beta traits: he truly loves me, he wants a family, he'd be a terrific father, etc. She then played the part of her GF, who pointed out to her that the man she WANTS in the first list, is NOT the man with the traits she wants in the second part of the convo. In short: w0men today don't want the man you described.
@@imjaimja Well, you put the guy who loves you more in the friendzone. Chad was more interesting.
Your advice sounds cryptic. Why not provide actual examples as it pertains to these women?
@@M0viLover stop with the extremes. There are many men out there with both alpha and beta traits. Your superficial Western culture tends to pedestalatize the alpha and denigrate the beta.
I get it if you're looking at a relationship as business like "what do I get out of it?" But it seems to be that all happy & healthy relationships are naturally about loving and giving without wondering what you get in return. I was with someone who wanted to know what "my offer" was and now my boyfriend naturally sees what my offer is and is of much higher value than my ex.
Just because you don’t worry about what you have to “offer” in a relationship, doesn’t mean others aren’t nor should be a bad thing. Because there’s a difference between knowing what you want or looking for and settling for whatever is available. Nothing in life is entirely free as there’s always a cost. Be it your time, resources, attention & etc.
Orion in another episode explained how all relationships are a medium through which value is exchanged. In plain terms, they are transactional by nature. Our platonic friends, family and romantic partners etc. by default expect a mutually beneficial relationship otherwise they're going to feel used and resentful.
It is an uncomfortable truth that many couples tend to overlook when everything is all rosey and smooth however, the transactional nature inherent in relationships become apparent when one party begins to feel shortchanged as a result of unmet expectations they have of the other party. In short, there's no such thing as unconditional love in romantic relationships.
@@KwekuTed sometimes one person can be disappointed by shortcomings but if you’re in a committed relationship you make the choice every day to stand by your partner through thick and thin. I’m madly in love with my husband but at the moment I’m feeling disappointed by his failed business venture and string of bad financial luck, but it doesn’t change anything. I love him and I committed to stand beside with him through the hard times.
These dating advices nowadays suck. You can’t distinguish if they’re talking about business or genuine human connection 😅
@@berlincrystal2873 My question to you is, you say your current partner is higher value than your ex. What determines his higher perceived value to you? You are choosing your current partner and recognizing his higher value and that’s what has you stay with him. That means you are sizing people up based on what they can give you, even if what you’re getting is status or some other indirect benefit. We are all always making choices in life based on perceived value. Which in other words just means, what am I getting in return for my investment?
I have zero interest in a woman who rushes to make sex a central part of what is meant to be a long term relationship. Getting to know her first really helps men with their discernment too.
This definitely is the channel I've run into that most subtly, cleverly and insidiously promotes absolute hedonic utilitarianism with relish and gusto, while completely undermining the necessary metaphysical basis needed for most men and women to find life meaningful and worth pursuing. The metaphysical assumptions of this "thinker" seems to be that everything can and should be optimized by utility in the alleged "sexual marketplace." One may wonder, however: since everyone is going to lose in the "sexual markeplace" at some point, what is the point? Why even play the videogame that this channel portrays as the nature of social reality? I've found the videos here to be compelling and attractive, which is what makes them so insidious. Be careful of dissolving the meaning you need to have the motivation to live life with too much "realism." Because unstated assumptions matter.
I wish I knew this information in my prime time. Instead I heard all the BS from the women around me who had no clue, including my mother. Now in my 50s and divorced it’s kind of late for me. I do share this valuable info with any women who will listen. Thank you doc!!! Another great video.
What Orion said is common sense. How can women have so little common sense?
Work on being healthy and kind, and go to places where you can meet new people and you'll earn your chance. It is always possible, just harder.
It isn't too late for you. That's BS too.
I’m sure you wouldn’t have listened to this info even if you got it in your prime.
Feminism has done a great job at manipulating women, especially younger ones.
not too late. you look attractive in your pic. go out and dont be afraid to ask a guy out, its a huge compliment. men are not complicated- Secks, food, and lack of drama. thats it. women want newness drama, uberstimulation. Men just want stability, Good Luck

And where did you receivve your PhD? Best relationship advice by far
bro u need to step away from OF and see if u could attract a woman in IRL, simps getting all the p and u b 👀lonely 😩
The premise is valid to a point. My experience is that both genders are looking for someone they can relate to… that they connect with. Sex follows when there’s a nourishing, mature, human understanding. All this talk is not as relevant when there’s a connection. I think what’s important is for people to have the inner security and personality skills to know how to relate. Another thing: I think what we all really want is NOURISHMENT. We have many short term relationships, so we need to know how to enjoy the nourishment of being with each other. Unfortunately, there really are toxic and emotionally undeveloped people out there who skew the conversation. Date, Enjoy, and consider what a long term relationship would be. With God’s blessing you will find your love.
I don’t know if calling it “being used” is the right term. It emphasizes passivity. I think the idea is to be aware that some relationships may lead nowhere. However, if you start to feel exploited, have the courage to leave such a person.
In essence, my approach is a “healthy” egoism. In relationships I try to prioritize both them and me. Because if you are too self-centered, it’s “using” another person. And if you are too selfless, you may end up “being used” and not able to protect yourself. One should love both others and themselves to be able to build a fulfilling relationship.
exactly. he is giving terrible advice. i wrote a rant above breaking his points down. but doubt anyone will see it.
Women and men in long term relationships both feel like slaves. As a woman I work hard to look nice and keep the fridge stocked, pay my share of the bills, take care of the kids, weed the garden, keep up on laundry etc. There are times I feel burnt out and feel like a slave to my family. But the thing is my husband feels the same way. He has to pay his part of the bills, drive the kids around, mow the lawn, make home repairs etc. He often feels like a slave as well. It’s all about effort, no matter how tired we are we’ve just got to keep working as a team and picking up the slack where the other leaves off. Relationships and raising families are a team effort and it takes a LOT of effort from both parties.
A relationship man /women is like your partner at work, you work daily 8 hrs together or greater and with the right one. The pair of you will always get the good jobs or the ones that take skill to finish. Same as Marriage, If you can't work together and do your expected part your marriage does not meet his or hers expected goal. Then that problem just grows as a problem grows with your employee partner slacking off at work.
@@thomaspepper2201 Exactly. But unlike a coworker relationship you also have love and commitment. So there are times where there’s an imbalance and one person has to put in more work than the other due to various reasons like health issues, job loss, etc.
@@mamadoom9724 I've always needed the answer of if your spouse makes the choise of not taking care of ther phyisical health, drink to much, eating the wrong foods, basicly tanking their health and body image, You have ZERO control of that. Then there self esteme is lost, there grumpy, no sex, no fun as the past from things you did as young lovers. Basicly because of this choice from them ,now you work load has changed , you lost your fun, there angry. This is were the commitment thing comes into play. They are commited aswell to you and they fail there commit to you. You can't fix them, YOUR BEING HURT BY THEM, Whats the need to keep the relationship or job. As an employer you lose your job due to inability to preform, so how is leaving a relation ship any different THEY HAVE FAILED AT THERE COMMITMENT AT THERE choosing. i WILL NOT LET MYSELFD BE HURT ?
Sounds fair but exhausting!
@@keijimorita1849 It is exhausting sometimes but I’d say it’s worth the effort. Two people working together as a couple can accomplish a lot. You can build assets quicker and it’s nice to have the security of knowing there’s someone who loves you. I spent a handful of years single and it felt kinda lonely, like there was always something missing. It’s nice to have someone you love to cuddle with at night.

The saddest thing about it is that his title is putting it very simplistic and as a person who witnessed women acting bizarre, especially in the dating scene.

What he is saying is essentially nothing new!
I've have a gut feeling his advice won't be taking seriously.
The issue here is that women think they ARE ALREADY the CEO of the company auditioning men for their personal assistant job, without realizing, or far too late, that, in fact, they are the candidate to the men they want...
You're right that women feel that they are already the CEO. Given the vast number of simps applying, women are right. More women than men are getting what they want in this marketplace.
Women are the CEOs already to the men they don't want, and the humble employees to the men they do want.

If you want to be a wife, be a wife now. Any woman that says she'll be a good wife, but only after getting married is lying to you, if not to herself also.
Why would you get promoted by doing the job that you want to get promoted into? I would think that the company would save money by keeping you at the same level and USING you.

A point of clarification, while sex before commitment is the modern norm. It is not what sets a women apart from her competition. A helpful and supportive women is the role when you are auditioning to be a wife to a highly successful man.
but where I live everyone is like that 😂
I completely disagree that women have to allow themselves to be used sexually if they want a man. I do agree that everyone is required to demonstrate value if they wish to be chosen by a potential partner. As a woman, I take a risk by opening my heart, expressing desire and respect for a man, letting him know I’m interested, listening to him, being nurturing. Providing companionship and things he can’t get from other men who are always competing with him or sizing him up. I’m different because I accept and appreciate him. Yet he could reject me even after all that. This is the way in which women must risk being used, not by spreading our legs. I preserve my value by not having sex with men who have not committed to me. And I am able to do this because I get interested in average, good men instead of obsessing over the Uber-attractive narcissistic men at the top 1%. Those men are never kind anyway, who wants ‘em. This is how I preserve my value, take risks to find love, and recognize high quality men that others may overlook.
Are you a virgin and will you become exclusive/marry a man without having sex with him first?
This. As a man reading this warms my heart a little. Maybe we're not doomed after all, but I find it difficult to stumble across women with your mentality.
"Uber-attractive narcissistic men".
They're not narcissitic, they just don't see you at their level.
Also your choice (if true, because i suspect it's not) means you will have to eliminate and be eliminated by a lot of men.
It's a sad reality that people with options pursue the best options available to them.
Yes if you are high value you can definitely do this. If you are an 8 you can do this with an 8 guy, although a 6 may be safer. 😅
@@simontmn yup - women date up, but marry down or across
I like how your videos are dating advice for women and workplace advice for men combined in one message.
Life is all about win-win. If I’m being used and losing all around I won’t be sticking around.
Such spicy takes. I don’t disagree though. This is why a lot of people in corporate end up marrying each other-they have the discipline to show up every day, exercise enough politics, and make the necessary tradeoffs to get the job done. The problem is people become very complacent and feel like they get free passes to not do shit without realizing how competitive the market is.
Everybody uses everybody. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
It's the basis of almost all trade and employment so it's logically hard to be against it.
Exactly
As long as all parties are honest.
Yea. Because every relationship is a transaction.
People can digress all they want, but this is one of the core aspects of human nature.
It's literally to derive a benefit from someone subsequent to a direct interaction with them
Sorry Doc, have to disagree on this. A woman that let herself to be used outside of a commited relationship will be viewed as a used good, and lower her value in the sexual market place.
To use your corporate analogy, if an employee lets himself to be used without having backed by strong labour laws and union, the employee will be used and squeezed without getting the appropriate compensation.
This goes along with Dr Taraban's advice to be the nastiest sluttiest version of yourself for the man you want a relationship with. There is nothing BUT risk out there if you are dating. If you have used proper discernment to select a candidate, why not throw all you can at it. To do otherwise is setting yourself up for failure or to be alone. The one who overpays, gets the job.

@@imjaimja I agree with you but both can be true. I think the guy in the video was more emphasizing that women should also make meaningful deposits into the relationship and I agree. Every man doesn’t have to be a CEO to have a vision. Allow a man to pursue and take care of course but it doesn’t mean that the woman shouldn’t co-create with him. A woman can help cultivate the relationship without depleting herself.
Give your daughter that advice. I hope you do that. Live what you preach. 😂 And your daughter gets used.
We have three daughters. All of them in relationships with good men. Always told them to meet his family first & let us meet them too. If they are good, proceed with courtship & intimacy. There is less likelihood to be used when family’s involved. Our daughters have never been “ornamental”or alone. Quite the opposite. Very popular. They’ve dated different types under our supervision. And we have made friends with families. That’s how we do it in our circles. Keep the status of our daughters & family high. Our girls have always demanded respect & friendship first. Only mixing with good families.
Your advice will let women get used without leading to marriage. It’s unsophisticated & lacks any sense of sensibility. Women have to question whether this is a good stable man from a good family or not. If they lay out this demand before intimacy, they get the chance to really see if it’s a good match or not. Know a man’s friends & family first. Spend a vacation together with his family & then go to bed. Unless it’s of course only for pleasure.
If you’re a non stable woman from a traumatic family. Make sure to work on your self first. When you’re healed, you’ll know who to look for & don’t lower your standards of personality, but lower your standards of physical appearance.
Agreed. If women follow this piece of advice without criteria, they will soon be physically and emotionally spent.
amen
@@greyhoundssss Good for you! Your father is king 🤴
Amen. This man clearly is not getting what he wants from women and is now being the devil telling women to give men what they want in exchange for a relationship. Ladies, please don't take his advice. It will ruin you. A real man will not take advantage of you. Only meet with men who are ready for marriage and that speak of the future on the first date. Men who are ready for commitment and responsibility will say they want to get married, they want to have children and they want ALL THIS in the near future! Make it easier for you. Don't interact or meet with any man who doesn't clearly showcase their seriousness. If you find dates on apps, only match with men who specifically look for long term partners. It will narrow down your choices. It's like shopping... if you're looking for yellow pants, why then look at red ones. Don't waste your time on devils. Look for god.

If they allow themselves to be used, they will become used goods, and used goods do not fetch a high price. The trick is to be perpetually useful, perhaps indispensable, and not merely fit for one time use only.
You're just playing with language, not adding anything
The only problem with that reasoning is:
It $TiLL doesn't account for the CHAD$ who can (and often do) have any and every woman they want. It doesn't matter how loyal and useful a woman makes herself... even if she's on the CHAD'$ level. He can have any woman he wants, even to the point that multiple women will $HARE him rather than "settle" for a man slightly above their own level.
What is the answer for this conundrum? I don't know, because you're never going to be able to get women of every level to stop lusting after CHAD$ and taking up his offer to bed them (even if she's in a relationship) if/when he comes sniffing their way.
🤷♂
Thank you for stating this fact. There’s too many women operating as wives without a ring for men, simply to remain in dead end girlfriend relationships for YEARS because some men don’t buy the cow when the milk is free.
The first part is true, but I don't know how a woman can be perpetually useful. After the first one dumps her, her value is damaged and there is nothing she can do about it.

Instead I would just keep my eyes open and observe their behaviour; if you do this, you will understand everything and then you can make your choice accordingly.
The Title is crazy, but I totally understand.
His statement that you need to have sex before you can get a guy to have a relationship with you is absolutely false. However the principle that you must contribute value to someone’s life if you want them to desire you, is absolutely true. Be deeply valuable in a man’s life, contribute your femininity and positivity and support to him. Stick to your standards, whatever they are, and find a man who values that.
That's why he said use discernment.
In principle, you’re correct, but I will say that for a man that highly values sexual compatibility and enthusiasm, indulging in that arena is apart of being of value. Sex is a form of intimate communication, after all.
He never made that statement. You assumed it and so many women in these comments are doing the same. Basically just telling on themselves. Your main point is correct.
So much about jobs, not all guys are super rich so why should females "work" for the average man? It's not about work. It's about respect for men. Plain and simple.
I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I normally agree with OT... but this sounds like "let's see where this will go" dating tactic. Discernment doesn't work if women date up only to become options or date down and elevate the down man to up and now he has options.
Women only date for benefit and attraction. If you have neither you get no woman. Now a woman may choose a broke man but she will leave when better option come. Same as a man he will leave when better options come. The difference is we a mem are penalized to the letter of the law while women are free to leave with no consequence. It's always lets see how this goes otherwise we'd be bound and honor the commitments we make, why do you oppose this

A point of disagreement. Although many, if not most, average men have lower standards, all high value men hold higher standards and would not be willing to enter a long-term relationship with someone who has a high body count. You don't have to have sex to be used.
The way this episode starts, i wouldn't expect alot to get more than 10 seconds through it
A woman can get a man to commit without being sexually used. You dont have to be a 10 out of 10 either or an "ornament". You just have to have self respect. Giving it up easy is terrible advice! He'll lose interest fast. If he respects you will wait, and if your smart ladies you " give in" when commitment is made.
Yup!
Many women in the U.S. want a high value man. Sure, you can make a man wait , but not typically in the case of a high value man who, by definition, has a lot of sexual market optionality. But yes, a woman can often get a man she doesn’t really want to wait. That’s the definition of the friend zone; men who are waiting for acceptance of a woman who isn’t particularly interested in him.
He doesn't think of women interest. Only of men interest of women opening their legs for them.

I almost sent this video link to my sister, my only issue is that I feel like you're setting wonan up for failure. In that, if men gate keep commitment and woman gatekeep sex
It doesn't benefit the woman to give sex without the commitment first.
That example of the CEO and your boss decides to give you or not, how the cat decides the milk.
I'm not so sure this advice is infact in the benefit of the females cos if she gave them all they want and allowed herself to be "used" as you put it, only sets her up for failure.
There are relationship coaches that preach the opposite, it must be a win win situation
This that you speak about, not balanced at all
The "used up" women in societies are called the whores and prostitutes who are ran through, nobody wants them.
That's where this advice is leading the women who listen to you, into the arms of men to be easily used up and discarded.
You don't even advice them to exercise their power to get the outcome they want as a win win cos you clearly think of that as "entitled"
Please stick to topics for men, by men cos this is all this nonsense is.
In my opinion, gatekeepers are redflags.
@@Damesanglante let's use a different word.
Men get to decide whether they give you commitment or not (they propose)
Women decide whether they give you sex or not (the vagina is on her body)
So, is it not entitlement what this man is saying?
That the man is like the CEO or boss you must impress so give away all your power to him and expect for the best?
Nah, women who hold off intimacy until exclusivity are all doing well in life, this man is just a clueless prick cos if you let them use you up, they won't infact respect you... You are immediately grouped under floozies
What do you call a person who gives it up on the first date? Exactly, this advice is damaging and very patriarchal
yep. he's giving bulllshit advice here. i broke it down in a reply. but i suspect he'll delete it.

Condolences.
The problem is that if we let ourselves be used physically we release chemicals that bond us with a person and I can’t stop those chemicals, then, once we’ve bonded, things change abd that’s where the fun starts feeling like pressure
this is a really good point, we are all human, and therefore mammals. We can’t help what our body does to us.
I appreciate the advice. It definitely makes sense. The only stumping point is that if women's value go down the higher her body count, why should we keep adding to that count without proof of commitment/aka marriage? How can you get around this catch 22?
Accept the guys that give you the "ick". They mean it.
He goes over this in some other videos, of women having to be the “sluttiest version of themselves.” Means they can start out with handholding or making out or something more tame when first entering the dating market when young, and slowly working their way up for each subsequent guy.
It’s definitely a balancing act, give enough to be considered, but don’t give everything in case it doesn’t work out. Also can be useful by making the man’s life easier, however that might be, whether cooking/cleaning/sex/therapy. Be someone he wants to keep in his life.
@@user-vx1up7ty7zwhy is the sentiment that a woman has to keep herself in a man’s life but not vice versa? What is a man doing to keep a woman in his life?

You can't. The only way you win is by betting on a future winner in your younger years like your mother and grandmother did. If he's already a winner, you're probably sharing him and being "used". You can always settle for a loser and he'll always commit but that's an L for you because you wouldn't respect him (and rightfully so).
Every video I watch from Orion brings me closer to buying his book. Well done.
I think the terminology may be misleading. In your analogy, you say your boss and customer need to be allowed to “use” you. To me that term implies giving something for nothing in return. My boss is not using me because I am being compensated for the service I am providing. I am absolutely available to be UTILIZED for a compensation of equal value I have agreed to. I am not available to be used and taken advantage of. Word choice can make a huge difference in the way a message like this is received, especially to women, but I suspect you know this. Wording likely intentional, maybe this comment is directed more towards the audience than the creator.

Exactly! No need to ask someone what they are looking for or who they are. They will surely SHOW you! And in my experience, it won’t take very long. Just get to know people. It’s not that complex. Asking me what I’m looking for would be a wasteful question. I, like I imagine many others don’t always know exactly. Until it hits us like a Mack truck. And there may be something or someone to come along that I didn’t know I was “looking” for 👀. So answering the question could cause you to miss something 😊 you don’t know what you don’t know.

It is true that some people lie about their intentions. Getting to know them and spending enough time with them will tell you whether they are genuine people. It might take some time and some mistakes to realize what types of people only want to use you. You want to be with someone who loves you and compromises with you, not uses you. It hurts to feel used, don’t allow it.
I think Orion is right about the practical acceptance of physical relationships happening before committment/marriage.
I also think this will eventually trend back towards abstinance until marriage. Might take a couple decades but nothing that is readily available is valuable. At some point men and women will not want to accept their intimacy should be cheaply obtained.
I hope you're right, but "abstinence until marriage" absolutely requires a woman to be a virgin. No self-respecting man wants to be treated [worse] than the last guy.
@@andyfranks1575 Yeah. I do think there is a middle point though, woman with low single digit body count and a month or two of dating/courtship before sex.
Agree and vice versa, if someone's addicted to physical intimacy then it speaks volumes about their own character and no self-respecting person sleeps around as if they have no respect for themselves or for others, it's easy to grasp why that's the case imao so does it need any further explanation? I think not. @@andyfranks1575

@PsycHacks ... first time caller, long time listener. And usually I do just listen. I agree with everything you said in this video except your opening premise on female vetting. Once upon a time I was a handsome teenager in Canadian (read: feminist) public school back in the 1980s. I was a Christian and would never "dishonour" a girl by playing around. My values included The Golden Rule and my spiritual belief demanded no sex before marriage. I never had any female interest until I would put out in my twenties, at which time I became a Toy Boy, having given up on "immature" women my own age. My male friends all told me I was too serious for the girls. I had a great time with women in my twenties and thirties , but no serious marriage interest until I became a Passport Bro at the age of 34. (I brought home my wife and child and, within 7 months back in Canada, I find myself in a traumatic Child Protective Services custody battle because I was raising my 10 year old daughter in home-school to be a 1950s self-reliant girl suitable for a high value man in another 8 years' time. The hateful attitude I get from the women here and from the CPS make me sick to my stomach. My daughter was the most well-behaved, selfless, and conscientious kid in our farming community until she was taken to the city without my even being given a hearing before a judge back in October. ) So my problem with your opening premise comes from my experience: that women are turned off with the notion of a serious relationship right from the start at an early age. This is due to gynocratic culture and the education system. If a man wants to find purity and honour in a girl/woman with whom to raise a family, he is SOL. And if he voices this goal to a potential mate, he will die an incel until he changes his attitude to pump and dump the women because this is all they have been taught to expect from themselves. I see the difference in my 10-year-old daughter's expectations for herself, and the old biddy hatred directed at her. So I cannot accept your opening premise, though I find the rest of your information to be spot on. Until women raise their self-expectations, believe in themselves as complements to a man rather than competitors, and are willing to approach being the COO of a family the same way they are taught to approach the C-Suite for the tax-office, there is no hope in your premise, in my honest opinion. .

Or just having children and him skipping out and now they have to do everything, maybe he’ll pay child support but probably not. This In addition to the ego slam behind all of this. There’s domestic abuse and psychological abuse that takes decades to recover. Please talk to a woman before uploading. This is irresponsible given you have a doctorate degree.
Straight up truth. Listen, accept, thrive.
Why can't two things be true at the same time? People who "allow" themselves to be used are remiss but the exploiters are also bad people who should be scorned by society. This isn't a male vs. female thing it's a good person vs. bad person thing.
Most ppl are "bad" ppl
They will get what they want by hook or crook and the person who pays is the exploited
When committment stoped being a prerequisite for sex the argument of "exploitation" vanished. When modern women declare loudly that they have the right to sexual pleasure irrespective of commitment, then pure sex alone gets value.
I love your social analytics just as much as your comparisons to other aspects of life. It really helps drive the point and also provides a reference to topics. Thanks!
There are still pockets of men and women who believe marriage ought to preceed sex... it would be a lot simpler if that was the norm still, but it isn't.
One word reply
NO.
You have completely convinced me that the feminist movement was a complete and utter failure. I feel so sad for young people today. When relationships are treated as a commodity.
The third option for those of us who trust in God is to be pure and trust that God will do the matchmaking for you.
Agreed. Actually if we went back to the religious and moral beliefs of a century ago, divorce rates would plummet. Marriages would increase and be happier than today.
Always remember that people behave the best they will ever behave during the trial (dating) phase of the relationship. If they behave badly in the beginning, it is only going to get worse. Most women these days have no idea, and don't care, what a man wants and if they did know, they would refuse to provide that thing just for spite.
I say this all the time!
Correct. What I've found of the women I meet just going about my day is that if they suggest something like hanging out together, in a way that would lead towards a relationship, they have no idea what to do except to sit back and be given free entertainment and experiences. It never crosses their minds that they have to do anything. When I indicate that if they want a relationship or want to spend time with me, they have to sacrifice the time, make an effort, and this horrifies them and they vanish.
@@EE12CSVT EXACTLY.
@@EE12CSVTthe sad truth is that women (real ones, not the imaginary façade they wish to fool us with) do not seem to be designed for relationships.
It seems like they are designed to be impregnated by the highest perceived value men (includes tingles and status) while simultarnously extracting resources from men they don't really value.
I like your Barcelona chair in the background. I have one too.
While I appreciate Ryan’s perspective on many things, I totally disagree with him on this matter, and I think he is giving bad advice to women in this video.
There is no reason why the courtship process needs to include sex before at least a bf/gf level of commitment. No sex before commitment has been the norm throughout most of history in Western culture, and remains the norm in many non-Western cultures. The fact that this norm has been destroyed in the modern Western dating culture is one of the root causes for the horrible and ever worsening dysfunction we see in Western society today.
The proof is in the pudding. If a man cannot accept investing the time necessary to get to know a woman first and then make a verbal commitment of asking her to be his girlfriend, then he shouldn’t expect to find a woman who is wife material, because insisting on sex before commitment necessarily filters out the women who are actually wife material.
Similarly, if a woman puts out on the first date, no man in his right mind should view that woman as potential wife material, since she probably does the same for other guys too. “Why buy the cow when the milk is given out for free?”
“A key that can open any lock is a master key; a lock that any key can open is a broken lock.” If a girl puts out easily, she is great for “fun”, but nothing more than that (i.e I put her in the “Friends with Benefits” Zone / “Situationship” Zone, which is the female equivalent of the Friend Zone.)
If, on the other hand, she respects herself enough to put a high price of commitment on her own body and dignity (and respects her future husband enough to avoid running up her own body count before she finds her future husband) then THAT is the kind of woman I respect and that I see as potential wife material.
That is instinctually how I categorize women with regard to dating, and I think most other men see it similarly.
Orion!
"The fact that this norm has been destroyed in the modern Western dating culture": the norm has been destroyed by feminism and hormonal birth control. You can not get the genie back in the bottle, is not going to happen.
The price of sex has come down because it's supply has increased (contraception makes each encounter less risky from the woman's perspective).
As a result, committing without sex no longer makes sense in the modern context
Awesome knowledge, thank you.
Is this directed to women who are "after" a very wealthy man? Is that what you consider a high value man?
Otherwise...why not just tell women to stay away from players unless they want to play? Unless they are players themselves (for real)?
The suggestion that women must put out sexually longer and even if it feels like "work" is absurd. That's the epitome of a rather meaningless and unfun relationship. The sex needs to be playful, fun and hot for both. Otherwise, what's the point?
I certainly have never dated a guy and upfront asked "what is it you're looking for in this relationship?" Then again I've never been on dating apps and I've found plenty of interesting guys to be in relationships (and usually when I'm not looking). I think the most important thing is to be aware of pretty instant chemistry with a guy. Go slow, get to know him. You could be (and I'd say this is for women or men) when chemistry is that strong it's highly likely that unresolved family of origin dynamics are involved. Why not tell women to be smart, to know themselves and get to know any given man?
What do you say to a pretty Christian girl waiting til marriage?
Yes!!!!
You're not mentioning the fact that a woman can go to a DIFFERENT "sexual marketplace" like in Pakistan, where they still believe in commitment first, ie marriage first, before sex, If they don't want to feel used and waste their time.
No woman is going to Pakistan for a husband lol
yes...this is a video for a doomed and disgusting society
🤣🤣🤣You think they want to be traditional? 🤣🤣🤣Always the ones who are not traditional asking for traditional men….
Hi everyone on the PsycHacks ✋🤗
Sometimes I compare a useful person to a piece of waste cloth or rags. In order to be valuable and important we need to be like rags which have many uses. Just my observation and POV .
People attract partners based on their unresolved trauma. 80% of people probably shouldn't be in a serious relationship lol
I'm glad other ppl know this
I'm a huge believer in women who have had their 'fun' when they're 18-24, and when they're in their mid 20s and early 30's they want to settle down now with the men who they've turned down in the past who look pretty reliable for stability, and even still going behind their backs to cheat with the same guys who they had 'fun' with and offer no commitment.
An ever-increasing number of these 'safety net' guys know the game now, and are opting out.
*DO NOT* be Mr. Cleanup.
18-24?! 😂 homie, they're still getting ran through way into their 30s and 40s now.
At twenty, every single young woman will know exactly which kind of men she want to settle with. They won't reject a man fitting their needs unless they have a real and valid reason to turn down the relationship. Men look for fun while most women look for goals from a young age. If you help a woman to reach her goals, you're the man of the situation.
@@tobe-you-tube6612 😂😂😂...oh, you're serious?
@@jth_printed_designsGrow up please.
There's always the option of avoiding all this and abstaining until marriage, which is what we chose. Although, that *was* 15 years ago, before Tinder, and hook-up culture, and "sex precedes commitment" sadly all became the norm.
Dating apps ruined everything. I've given up on dating.
there isn’t actually a single set of rules that applies to everyone when it comes to relationships. Some people end up with their high school sweetheart, and that’s OK, but most people don’t, and that’s OK. If you weren’t aware, this channel is more about over-achieving men and the women that go after them. That’s why his main analogy is about “market value“. saving sex for marriage isn’t right or wrong, its a personal choice. it might be the best case scenario, but once you’ve “pulled the trigger” its do-or-die, isnt it? I believed in that and married the woman I lost my virginity to and years later found out she has borderline personality disorder and is a deceitful and manipulative sack of shit. too late now 🤷♂️
Usually I'm interested in vsrious ideas, hut now I finally decided to block this channel.
Does he know any real men? Any real women? It's about respect and building a betterworld together.
Naive little child.
What is a real man or a real woman in a mariage and its dynamics ?
What’s the job description for a real man ? and the job description for a real woman ?
How do a man & a women build a mariage, before children arrive. Those children have to be raised in order to become functioning and respectful adults ?
@@TaphaSow75 Just normal people who love and help, friends at work and family friends, not trying to use others for everything, not making everything a gender issue, just meeting people and caring for them.
One problem is that most women in corporate jobs _do_ get promoted without being extremely good at their job or exceeding expectations.
Is that a 'woke' thing?
I’ll likely watch this video later, but I want to comment on the title. My guess is once I watch the video I’ll realize that what you refer to “allowing ones self to be used” is what I’d consider not being used at all but rather being helpful in any way I can to someone I care about. Maybe it’s merely semantics but it feels like mere provocation. And it’s working. 😅
5:20 i love how you drop in sharp statements like this in your videos they’re bound to make most women’s blood boil haha but those who are genuinely looking for help will see the truth in your statements
You have opened my mind to another way of thinking and earned a sub as well. 😊
Hello Orion: There is lady on TH-cam who makes short videos, her name is BillieRae. Regarding the question of "how to apply for the position of girlfriend", part of her answer was "when ever you are at his place, tidy things up for him." In different ways, both of you have said the same thing. Have a lovely day.
