    If you're a man considering going down the path of marriage and children, it is essential that you learn how to maintain a woman's long-term commitment. This is because the more you invest in any one woman, the more leveraged you are and the riskier that relationship becomes, especially in contemporary society. The key to maintaining that commitment is to understand that everything you've ever done for a woman is irrelevant. I explain more in this episode.

      I dare to suggest that Dr. O might be mistaken on this. To minimize risks when partnering with a "modern woman," consider someone earning a similar or preferably higher income, committed to their career long-term. In case of a divorce, you may not be liable for spousal support, and there's even a chance she owes you. 😅

      It sounds like your describing an incredibly ungrateful women if anything. The exception not the rule.
      I'd think twice before letting this be the hill I die on. This perspective literally spits in the face of long term committal relationships which is what binds are society together and keeps it working.
      The picture that (from my perspective) you are trying to paint is that ALL women are never fully content with what you've given them. That they'll always want more.
      Are we even describing a human being with morals and intelligence at this point? I do believe that is a seriously unfair representation of women in general.

      So, it depends on the situation what is the right thing to do - to divorce if the guy is being violent and/or infidele or to stay, which is up to the other person to decide tbh.

    “Everything you’ve ever done for a woman is irrelevant”- That’s Briffault’s Law fellas, before entering a relationship every man must learn this. The conditions of a relationship will mostly be determined by a woman no matter how you look at it, and a relationship where a woman can no longer derive benefits is a relationship a woman considers to be nullified.

      True. And to get into the relationship depends on who you are, not what you do.

Do you demand respect or even intimidate, or get walked on?

      He's correct about the fact everything you've ever done becomes meaningless. It's true. They literally forgive themselves any 'indebtedness' for the good deed you've done for them instantly.
      Interestingly however they don't apply the same standard the other way. If they've done you a good turn or performed an act of service you will be reminded of it repeatedly. She will expect it to accrue continuing dividends for her well into the future.
      Ergo they're more than capable of understanding the credo BOTH people should live by. They just won't allow YOU to have the benefit of it.
      At the end of the day they mate for personal advantage. They're looking to gain more from the association than they give in return and if they're not deriving a net benefit from it they're gone.
      While it's their nature and can't really be criticised...it is nonetheless difficult to have respect for a person when you realise they're looking to go through life offering less value than they expect to receive in return.

    I don’t really get why this is a hard pill to swallow. This makes a lot of sense. When I paint a potential future with my girlfriend, as in « I want to have this, and this, and do this, this is the life I’m looking forward to », I can see her eyes shine. Firstly because I’m very confident in doing so, but also because they are very ambitious projections. So it projects a mix of risk taking mindset, boldness, and puts her in a future thinking mindset. And most importantly, everything is authentic and honest. I paint a picture of what the future with me can be, by also giving examples of what my life has been in the past. I think keeping her excited about her future is a massive skill set for a man.

      She'll be excited about your plans untill she won't. This was the case of my ex-fiancee. Since the beginning of our relationship I have told her that in the future I would like to buy and repair the other half of my family house from my cousin as I like the history of it and want my children to grow up here too. My ex was perfectly ok with that untill the visit of her mom a few months before our planned wedding. Suddenly she become more and more hesistant of my idea to the point she made an ultimatum 2 months before the planned wedding that we will buy together a flat. When I said that I can agree to rent something and after 1 year we can decide what will work for us the best but I won't drop my plans right away, she immediately gave me back her ring and didn't want any further discussion or looking for help in some pair therapy.
      I hope that it won't be the case in your relationship but keep in mind that even if she's excited about your plans for now, things can change drastically in the future.

She just benefits from them because she happens to be in your life. Take her to Fiji because you're already going there and you want the company. Buy her a car because you need her to have mobility but you can't be always there to drive her. Etc. Do these things for yourself and consistently invite her along for the ride.

  • @MrOdammy
    @MrOdammy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +367

    Great video. But to simplify things the answer is self improvement in all aspects of life. Let me explain. The more you improve spiritually, mentally, physically, financially and socially and in all aspects of life the more you have to offer. Do not waste your time trying to make a woman like you or to make her stay with you. You can only control your thoughts and actions nothing else. If you are constantly self improving people will want to be around you not just women because everyone wants to be associated with a winner. Even if she leaves (because women do make bad judgment calls a lot of time) the fact that you are constantly improving will make her regret her bad decisions due to hypergamy. Women want the best man. So you you simply become the best version of yourself. By the way that isn’t just having money, building muscles and being popular. Ask yourself who do I want to be. When you close your eyes what is the version of you you aspire to be, not what anyone else wants and strive to be that man. Once you are at that journey of being that man you only deal with people who fit in your life. Remember you are the producer, writer, director and main character of your life. Stop trying to force people in roles they can’t fit. Have a goal for your life and it’s either they fit in or they don’t. There’s a cool Nigerian saying “I can’t come kill myself”. Focus on being the best version of yourself simple as that. Things will fall in place. God bless you all.

      Someone, please pin this comment to the top. I started watching these videos because while after 20+ years of marriage, our relationship is still strong and I could easily give my life for my wife, occasionally I go bonkers and run with my head in the wall trying to understand how to 'satisfy' my wife's desires which seem to be contradicted within the same conversation. The answer I've come to is just accept that she'll always be complaining no matter what I do. I just need to work on my mission in life, become the best version I can be, and not be bothered by her complaints. If one day the best version of me is not good enough for her, I'll at least be good enough for myself or hopefully another woman.

    My experience correlates with this approach. That said, the challenge then becomes the trickling in of the wants in such a way that there is nearly a lifetime of them. This would necessitate that a man execute on a list of known wants while simultaneously creating new ones at a controlled pace. All I can say is there better be a good ROI for all that work.

    My favorite thing in the whole world is cuddling with my husband when he's happy with me. Thats it. Thats what I want. Thats what I wanted when I first ever thought of romance as a kid/teen. thats what I want after three kids. Its something he cant always give me because work sucks or he's stressed with some crisis or whatever. But...I want happy cuddles forever. I want hugs that are full of "we've got this". The two of us have had nothing to our names but debt collectors and medical bills and we've had a big yard with roses- but what I really, really want is tactile "I'm happy you're here with me" -- not that thays easy to give because its not. It takes work to remember to just set your stress basket down for a second and be with me. But its not something any man has to be hamster wheeling for either. Thats it. Hug me while thinking something positive. Or smiling after taking my hand. Or giving me a peck on the cheek with a smirk. It's not that hard. And I'm not that weird. I've had a hundred girls nights and playgroups with people that have been wives for years. This is nigh universal. We want happy cuddles. We want 'this is nice, you're nice' affection and facial expressions concurrently. Its free.

      @TheXavier20000 short answer, I'm sure both of us could have been perfectly happy with someone else. But I chose him and he chose me and we have a whole life together. Optimizing further gets in the way of actually living an enjoyable life.
      Long answer, He uses a different accent everytime he plays toys with our toddler. He is as invested in our kids as I am. And when I was depressed and hopeless while uncontrollably sick with the pregnancy for that toddler, he sat on my bed and told me about the proof for close pair prime numbers because he couldn't help but wanted to, and getting my mind off of the nausea with what was the most interesting thing he could think of was how he decided he would help. And that was uniquely his kind of love. Not any one else would show he cared in exactly that way. And not every man acts like he does. He accepts apologies and he gives apologies. He doesnt rage. Not on the road, not at video games, not at me or our kids. He doesnt make his mother or my mother or me the punchline of any joke or the crux of criticism. He doesnt comment on bodies with praise or judgement, not women in real life or on screen or in passing. I 1000% trust that he's as faithful to me as I am to him.

    4:29 After the kids, you can grant her and/or be central in facilitating her increasing status in the community, a renewed exploration of being-in-itself in terms of travel and luxury as empty-nesters, and, finally, someone that cares and negotiates in the world -- her health and wellbeing -- as she grows feeble and tired in her old age.
    I see this in my father and mother's matrimony. My older brother's is very squarely on the road to that.
    Granted, to give those advanced things as a man (the things that had been listed in the video not requiring much from one's sociological miilue), one has to be growing both personally and professionally in the lead-up to starting a family together while maintain a fair measure of health, good routines and virtue (in the Grecian sense: moral and physical excellence), in order to be a champion to her in both hers and your old age.
    It's no small feat, and there are innumerable slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that will both delimit and/or prohibit one's ability to be that man for her who increases her status, grants her luxury and adventure, and still be fit enough to fight, as a "village elder" on her behalf.
    It also requires a woman who is capable of appreciating -- noticing -- you both are embarked on that trajectory since, just like any fitness program, the improvements are slow and measured but can go unnoticed if the waypoints and measures of your mutual success aren't explicitly defined. (success/luxury for some women and couples being, simply, a homestead, an occasional fancy dinner and vacations once or every other year; no debt, current on one's bills; kids that managed to stand on their own two feet ... not necessarily fame and fortune, per se).
    The bitter pill here is that, sadly, most men nowadays don't ever get a shot at this latter-stage "giving," especially now that the middle class has been gutted and hollowed out in most industrialized states; and, the current zeitgeist for Western women is encouragement to jump ship prematurely, loosing heart too easily with the inevitable setbacks, the viciousness of FOMO culture, the staking of happiness and its confabulation to hedonistic pleasures, within a culture oozing of degeneracy and/or moral, intellectual and spiritual privation.

    In my case, the script was flipped. She out earned me by 2 to 1, and I was according to her and her circle of friends, a trophy husband, but with one major difference: I’m a man, and being a man, you “man up” and always finish what you start. She knew this; I knew this. We were together for 37 years until she passed. I spent the last 3 months being her nurse/shadow 24/7 during her cancerous demise. Despite my lifelong commitment to her, towards the end, she said to me the most shockingly profound thing, “if you were going through this, I couldn’t help you through this”. But, being a man, I’ve always understood that we have certain gender burdens that come with being a man. I’m just a man.

    You have such excellent metaphors. The past is prologue to what she wants to be a neverending story, and you'd better be ready to keep that swashbuckling romance alive. This goes with the idea of being a ship's captain, seeking to employ a navigator, and during courtship she is keenly considering the benefits package -- counterbalanced with your advice that "only founders get equity," since so many girls open their bidding with a straight-faced ask for an equity stake, whether she was there at the start with you or not.

    That's why when a woman breaks a long relationship and gets with a new man, she can quickly be already "in love" with (what she images of) him. She sees all that potential, even if she barely knows the guy. When you're the ex, it sucks of course. But even when you're new guy, it's shocking, how easy they convince themselves, while they don't even know you yet. Both kind of sour us. As the more we invest, the more we lose, instead of the more we build. I'd venture that at least half of the "players" were looking for serious relationships before. It's just the game is way easier that way.

    I feel like this is a rather myopic take on a deeper truth about leadership. Good leadership always requires working towards the next horizon- that's really important for morale. When it come to traditional relationships, it's generally the men who steer the ship and so it's the men who need to be gung ho about the next port.
    So, if you want a traditional woman, you need to be masculine and lead. If you get stuck for too long, most people in general will start to avoid you for your negativity or complacency. It's not necessarily gendered.
    Anyway, I still like the video for giving me food for thought. Thanks Orion!

    I wish you had given examples so it sounded less like manipulation and more like life mapping. I see this as the “we grew apart” issue. If you are family and life planning, the two of you grow together. You are setting and attaining goals as a unit. Marriage, finances, home, health, kids, career, business, community, retirement. Those are some areas you can look forward to making shared strides in that are organic, productive, meaningful. You don’t have to keep manufacturing odd things like expensive gifts or trips unless you have the wrong person. I just feel like this video was thin in what this future planning could look like. Find out your partner’s interests and passions and set goals in those areas and support each other in reaching them.

    Well… I would say that companionship, love, comfort, partnership and growing old in this lifetime was some of the things I looked forward to him giving me. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after his 70th birthday. I love your advice for the under 40 viewers. Those of us over the age of 50 have figured out the things that really matter in life. I have discovered through your channel the type of woman I don’t want to be.

      Thanks for sharing your story and I'm sorry for your loss.
      The most important information I've seen on any of these channels (in terms of a predictor of relationship success) is that the woman has to actually value male companionship. In it's pure sense (just the enjoyment of it) and not solely for it's associated benefits.
      It didn't come from this particular channel. I cant remember which one it was now. For all Orion's posts throw up some interesting little insights, I don't think any have any real significance compared to that one simple, foundational point.
      I was struck by what you said as you appeared to reference it yourself. Sadly it's a very rare trait! Thats a shame for men and women alike.

      @@sammyb1651 strangely it seemed when I hit 60 I began to really love and respect what my man did to keep me attracted to him.

    A sumnary for both men snd women.
    A womans interest is not maintained by what you do for her. A womans interest is maintained by what said woman does for you. Just as your interest as a man is maintained in her by what you are willing to do for her.

    So true and so much value in this. Wish it was articulated to me like this years ago. One thing I would challenge is the view “after kids there’s only divorce” for a woman to look forward to. I get where it’s coming from but I also think growing the kids into independence and enjoying the success of a stable family into older age is something we as men can continue to offer.
