Learning how to keep your cool when women become difficult or provocative is an emotional survival strategy. Failing to master this skill is an invitation to hardship and regret. The strategy is simple: no matter what woman you're dealing with, and no matter what a woman tells you, to the extent that she becomes emotional, you need to mentally create a verbal sandwich around her words. I'll demonstrate what this looks like in today's episode.

Literally the only way you could make me lose my cool is to do something that violates the marriage covenant. The advice on how not to seem defensive by listing counterfactuals is really helpful to me though
I feel I LOVE THIS CHAPTER right now! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Please Orion, then help US to know what to do if those words (feelings) comes with a Bad behaviour (attack) from the woman we love 😢 What to do in thar very moment and LATER then..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sorry, but defending yourself is necessary even in ungrounded accusations. Lack of any response is often taken as acquiescence. That said, a stronger defense is to simply deny and force the others to make their point. By doing so, making THEM look bad.
@@Mike80528 This very well could be true! It all depends on what kind of nutjob woman you managed to select. I think its worthwhile to try his suggestion first, especially with minor accusations, and see how she responds/reacts, and if she reacts as you suggest, then do the defense.
Adding the "I feel" and "right now" to the beginning and end of a woman's negative statements towards you is a great suggestion. Adding the "I feel" and "right now" to the beginning and end of a woman's positive statements towards you is a fugging genius level suggestion and brutal dose of reality when you do it. Brilliant episode.
Not just the negative statements.. But added to All statements. She says : I love you Quickly translate it to I feel I LOVE YOU right now. Do that and you'll never lose frame
I wish I knew this 10 years ago. Young millennials and Gen Z don't know how lucky they are hearing this type of practical information before they make any costly lifelong mistakes.
Those "men" don't really hear this advices, they defend the woke ideas and idealize women, they will only will value this things when they fall in that mistakes and awake. But they are extremely submissive, so meanwhile the will be attacking this kind of people and advices.
It's all good, we get practical advice about women that are very low quality this generation, and you got the ability to afford a house and raise a family, fair trade 👍🏼
@@drwayne_carter9115that's not true bro except your right about not being able to afford a house. those of us like me went through bad relationships then was forced to start over and now we can't afford stuff either. some like went over seas with our pension and now had to downgrade our life. I'm now in West Africa at 53 starting over. trust me you are getting great advice nowadays and most of it is being aware of family law corruption. good luck to you. live well and apply what you know now and help others.
Run dude, I've bought women houses, cars and a free life but you can Never buy their loyalty. 35 years of failed relationships here, costing me 2 houses and 3 fortunes. Here's an old man saying... Nothing ruins a perfect plan like a woman
@@aaronfogelsanger2550 BRO. Ur speaking the gospel. the most selfish creature on the planet is a woman. I've lost my share of time attempting to please my women. no more. a waste of time, energy, and resources. your comment needs to be highlighted
@@muditsingh5686They think they’ve worked out something, that was around for millennia. Reason this stuff has to be regurgitated, because we as humans have to learn the hard way & therefore keep repeating the same rubbish.
A man either accepts being a taken as a fool or live a life of solitude. Very few endure the path of loneliness indefinitely, at some point they cave in.
I've been following the pickup, social dynamics and redpill community for over a decade now and I'm positively blown away at the quality of information in your videos. It's so rare to see solid, masculine and relevant advice like this, which isnt defeatist or blackpilled.
Can we give this man a round of applause for him showing us a major wife hack. That was a real eye opener I needed because I instantly jump to defensive mode but I’m going to try this because it seems so much more peaceful.
Used to be me too. Counseling helped me, but the sandwich is amazing … reflecting is the win. Staying out of their emotions is very hard. Especially when being challenged. Feeling defensive is the right feeling, because it’s like wtf woman. 😂 definitely major wife hack
Something to remember: if she's still capable of getting upset, she still cares. Her passion may be temporarily misguided, but at least the spark is still there. Some woman need the full spectrum of highs and lows to feel alive. They'll create drama when the waters are too calm. They'll poke you with a stick just to hear your growl, to know you still care.
@@Kal-El207And immature, and selfish, and destructive, and chaotic, and annoying, and and and any number of other unpleasant things that no rational man would want to deal with.
@@ephraimwinslowthe same reason they wear g strings and thongs and underwears on beach, they are like dogs chasing their owner's attention in my eyes, "look at me master", they say they do it for themselves, tell me what will anyone get from getting their butt out around everyone, like what is it? What are they benefitting from doing so if it's really for them? Same goes with makeup.
The only problem is that the state will not see your point and you will be severely punished financially if you use it in that context. Unless you’re marrying up 🤷🏻♂️
Right now is ever always now. (Cant escape it). So basically now is forever. Ps the now is not to be mistaken with the “situation” unfolding of course!
The “sandwich” treatment applied to the positive statements is absolute GOLD. I’ve had to learn the hard way that many times what a woman says is only true in the moment.
Note to myself: The sandwich trick is 1) to place "I feel" in front of any emotional state she expreses of you and 2) to put "right now" at the end her statements, this will give you a bigger and clear perspective aswell as not to take whatever she said personal or somethintbyou need to disproof.. its just her experience so you cant argue. 3) To descalate situations of conflict, use reflection methods like repeating what she said with "you feel that .....same thing she said........" And let her continue, it will make her feel heard and calm her down.
Use the the "I feel" tactic against them, I do. Doesn't mean it works all the time, it certainly means they have less of a chance to ensare you in an emotional rant that's usually created in her own head then self projected onto you.
9:53 - This is called ‘Mirroring’ a Chris Voss classic that works 100% of the time. Also the sandwich technique is pure GOLD!!!! I think back on arguments with former lovers and I kick myself mentally, but this is a learning moment. Be the Mountain, not the Weather.
Jesus man this is 12 minutes of *solid* *gold*. ESPECIALLY the end, don’t just do this to negative statements, do it to the positive ones also, to keep your ego in check. This video is priceless
When women say "I love you" and want the man to say it back, men often hesitate, because they feel it's a huge, permanent statement that is not to be made lightly. Meanwhile women just meant it in a temporary sense of "in this moment" and are shocked that men can't say it, even though they clearly are enjoying the moment... ahaha, oh man, what a revelation!
Yeah but... maybe then the man tries to say it thinking it's only transient, and years later the woman says "but you said you loved me" as if it was a permanent thing... meanwhile when she says it she probably does mean it is transient?
@@GidarGaming You can't really win that game ever with any woman though and it's pointless to worry about it (in fact worrying about it will make you less attractive to her and push her away). As Orion illustrates in the video, if she says "you said you loved me" she's really just weaponizing intimacy to try and hurt/provoke you. The problem isn't the statement you made in the past, it's that you did something to make her feel uneasy or upset (or she just has other things in her life that make her feel uneasy/upset) and that's her way of expressing it. The salient point is when a person is communicating emotionally (even men) they don't necessarily care about the truth/logic/etc of the statement. They are just trying to convey their emotion often in the strongest way possible.
I've had a theory this is why women never shut up about how "vulnerability is strength". Yeah. Your choosing to be vulnerable for them is their strength.
or rather our SAFETY. Your vulnerability to US guarantees our safety FROM YOU. (because yes, you can actually become our threat). We want you to be strong to the rest of the world but vulnerable to US. How does this not make sense to so many men?
@@cloisonnegreen Too many of us have had our vulnerability taken advantage of by women that we trusted with it. Some of us the majority of women, some of us all of them. It DOES make sense to us in that we understand a woman's needs always come first, especially to her.
@@cloisonnegreen That sounds nice and poetic but the reality is, men have learned to listen not to what women say but what they do. And what they do is typically the opposite of what they say. So it sounds nice and poetic of what you say about women wanting men to be vulnerable, but men’s experience is that it’s used against tell AND/OR being too open/vulnerable is eventually is received as being weak. Even if she consciously isn’t thinking that directly, subconsciously she is because women are adapted to not look for weakness in mean because it’s a survival strategy. Women typically say things to get results whereas men say things they actually feel, to get to the truth. Words are a means to an end for women whereas words are a means to an end for men. This is why men can’t take what women say at their word. They must judge them by their actions.
I JUST used this strategy with my kid’s mom. It worked to PERFECTION. She literally couldn’t say anything else when I sandwiched her emotional thoughts with “you feel”…”right now” through accurate reflection. Took about two cycles. She was genuinely incapable of dragging me into an emotional argument. It was beautiful! Lol
Easy. Always be emotionally capable of letting her go if she wants you to change something fundamental about yourself and your dreams. I’ve experienced both sides of this. When you set boundaries and stay calm when they test you, maintaining the moral high ground, they know you aren’t naive. They will respect you. Then they can decide if they want to change themselves to stay with you or find another guy. Whether they stay or walk, you win by not losing yourself.
Add kids to this situation, now go! Doesn’t work, you must be willing to humble yourself, and find a way to compromise for the sake of what’s now more important than your life and dreams.. your family. If you’re dating, then yeah, this is great advice. If your married and/or have children, God be with you!
@@xARTi5Tx true. One would hope that these problems are uncovered before bringing innocent life into the situation. But many times they aren’t, in which case you must compromise your values to appease the woman’s feelings. Women are very smart and act differently before marriage and children so you must be very cautious. I know this first hand.
Yes. The moral high ground. Always play that card. However, they are so immature they will think of you as a cuck even if you have the moral high ground
Trouble is young people are 1. dealing very, very attractive other young people and 2. they are pumped full of hormones that dictate most of their decisions. Almost impossible for them to overcome either fact. If they were dealing with passive aggressive, post menopausal, overweight women after many decades in the same relationship, they would be much more able to see things clearly. Sexual attraction is very, very hard to overcome.
This made me laugh out loud. I turn 33 this November and have been with the same woman for nearly 12 years now. Not once has this concept been more clearly and concisely explained to me. This immediately clicked in my head. Great information. Next time I have some cash to spare I will be sending it your way. Much appreciated.
This may be one of his best talks yet. As a 39 year old recently divorced father of two leaving a 17 year relationship I agree 1000% with this message! Young men would we wise to absorb the message. This man is doing God’s work!
Outstanding video. A big mistake I have made in life is thinking the words from a woman were absolutes - being told I was the best man she had ever been with meant I had achieved something permanent, when it was just a temporary and passing moment of elation. Thanks for this video.
This is really a more detailed and eloquent version of 'Regard women as grown children, in their emotional responses'. And of course, holds just as true.
They change very little, past the age of 13 or 14. I remember very clearly in Jr high school, how fickle girls got by the time they reached 9th grade. How they felt yesterday, vs today about you, they could turn on a dime! But this " I feel \" insert comment\ at this moment" makes the concept CRYSTAL CLEAR. He is a very astute scientific observer.
100% correct but there is a difference. I expect these volatile behaviors from a child and I expect to teach them how to work past issues. What is not my expectation or responsibilities is to navigate volcano 3D verbal chess with a fully grown adult female just because I always have to be 100% perfect and in "control" while she flies off the handle or judges and remembers every small thing I did, didn't, or sat or do wrong. It's not worth it, not even innthe slightest just for a small amount of intimacy and "companionship"? No thanks, I can get better love from a dog coming home to a nice quite empty big house filled with objectives or projects that don't give stress or anxiety and have constant peace
I’m 51 now and a lot more stoic in the face of a female emotionally charged situation. Actually, I’m no longer dealing with it. I just use one word and then don’t say anything else. That word is, “Noted”. Then I go and spend my time doing something for me. My partner is either complimentary to my life or not. She has the choice to leave.
@@cc1drt also his choice men control the commitment women control the sex and so if he does not want to commit do to undesirable traits he doesn't have to simple really, and women can and do control there emotions and feels for bosses so why not for there husband or potential husband.
@@cc1drtalone isn’t a failure, especially if you’ve already had your children and raised them. I look at being alone in my 50s as a peaceful idea, friends and family are needed but a “life partner” is an option and can really hamper your one and only life if you’re not compatible. Not everyone is lonely when alone
I’m fairly natural and keeping my cool (very aware of my emotional response) Every girl I’ve dated that says “you don’t love me” or “you hate me” in a dispute I tell them to come here kindly, after some hesitation they usually come close. I always just wrapped them in my arms (after opening them to them so they know I want them close) and talked to them tell them they know I love them and some subtle soothing shshsh’s like I would a younger child (because they are usually emotional at this point) as it is comforting. And then we talk as I hold them as they feel comfortable and safe.
Wow, that's the best way to handle her, notice that a lot of women start to call their mate "daddy". You just totally helped her understand/reminded her that she is being loved by you (who's important to her). That's so brilliant ! I think you've got it , you've found the answer!!!!! 💖🙏✝️
They laugh when you say this and refuse to partake in the tomfoolery....they laugh, it's terrifying. I usually go straight to thinking she is cheating...
Fantastic... How many men have heard you're the greatest "blah" ever from a woman only to be in trouble an hour later. Women feel and change like the weather in WI..
This is the definition of cleverness. The fact that you can change your perspective of things by adding words to a statement is brilliant. I'm defenetly doing this in my next relationship
Since women's emotions are like the weather in Louisiana (if you don't like it, wait 15 minutes...it will change), this helps prevent getting swept up WITH her. Don't get too low, *OR* too high.
As someone who grew up in The Netherlands, I can firmly agree. Being bothered by a woman's emotions is like getting bothered with the changing weather. it's pointless.
The part where you said, "I'm not responsible for someone else's emotions " is golden. But coping with their emotions is exhausting. It's easier to change them out routinely so that this behavior doesnt keep repeating itself. I dont need to be emotionally abused just because she feels a certain way. It is not okay to start shit just because they have emotions.
Finally you have shown us, not only the intellectual reason behind the emotional immaturity, but how as men we can love in the way, to help women mature emotionally. Thank you. Let's hope that will help women to better respect us.
No, the most recent time you needed this was 2 hours ago. There have likely been more moments in your life when this may have been useful, though - and it's definitely the same for me. Now is better than later, so keep your head high.
Smart AF. Thanks for sharing this technique. I work with men in The Netherlands who lead a men’s workshop teaching men how to disarm feminine drama (25 different destructive patterns). This technique for keeping your cool could be a nice adding. I’ll show them the episode.
his technique seems to be simply applying the ideals of creating distance to emotions. If I am feeling depressed, I can say to myself, right now I feel depressed. or I am having the feeling that I am depressed. It seems he repurposed this to create emotional distance between the man and his female partners emotions. Ideally the woman would do this herself before she has some childish outburst though.
Best thing I've ever learned about women is that they need drama and they feel uncomfortable with long periods of peace..Therefore, they'll purposely do things to start arguments or try to get under your skin. Someone who is committed to being offended by or arguing with you is going to find a way regardless of what strategy you ploy. You can't completely ignore them but you definitely don't want to get emotionally riled up in these situations. If you do, it's essentially reinforcing/rewarding bad behavior.
sounds like those are damaged/ delusional women. Drama isn't necessary in a healthy persons life but there needs to be some kind of entertainment/fun in order to balance the boredom of everyday life.
20 year old here. I found this so valuable. You have enlightened me. As you said, my responses to her "hurtful" and "untrue" statements were defensive, and i sometimes take everything she says in the moment of anger at face value, which have negatively affected my relationship. I used to be so hurt, after thinking all my efforts were in vain when she says things like, I dont love her. She had told me many times, she didnt mean the things she said when she was angry. Eventhough I too knew this in my brain, my heart couldnt catch up and I'd take long time to recover from the hurt. I didnt know every female were like this and it wasnt just me who was suffering until I saw the comment section of the video. We men make the mistake of using logic to counter the emotional behaviours of woman which is a losing game. Cannot thank you enough, sir. You sir, have saved my relationship. May god bless you ❤️
I would put this video on his top 5 best ever. The balance of insight for both men and women and the emotions stirred between both groups Is Not something you see every day on RUclips.
My mum asked me if I stole her diamond rings a few years ago. I said I didn’t steal them without being defensive. ‘Well where are they then?’ ‘I have no idea’ After telling EVERYONE that I had stolen them, a few weeks later she found them. She had forgotten where she had hidden them. Then she had the gall to say ‘you could’ve tried harder to reassure me that you hadn’t taken them’. I don’t talk to her anymore.
Your mom is a narcissist. Typical behavior where they resort to deflection in order to avoid being held accountable after they threw a smear campaign on you. Definitely keep her at arm’s length.
If a woman says that nonsense to me I'm skating. I don't care enough to parse their BS and play mental games in order to be able to tolerate childish behavior and manipulation. This is why I love the first 3 to 6 months of the relationship. I'm getting all the good stuff without any of this manipulative nonsense. When the nonsense starts, my attention is directed elsewhere. Audios muchacha.
“When the nonsense starts, my attention is directed elsewhere.” Identifying manipulative behavior and moving on from it is key to maintaining peace in life. Great comment 100%
Sad but fact. I know that I would like it otherwise, but after that 3-6 months, sometimes longer, yep, it happens. And I'm mentally out, if not completely out. Not by my predetermined choice, it's just I won't tolerate that crap. And a new gal won't do that. Even worse to numb us, a gal breaking up with her BF/husband after years will "feel" all these love emotions for a new guy right away. Oh, those will be fleeting too but for us men it's bewildering at first to witness. That we are the recipient of those "love" emotions or the ex discarded.
Describes to a tee my own experiences. Somehow after about those 6 months the BS starts happening, they can’t keep repressing those “feelings” they have. I have absolutely no patience or tolerance for that. (as I get older the lesser patience) Usually it means saying goodbye. The ‘funny thing’ is a lot come back after a while, sometimes years, to try to reconnect. Some would say it’s just how women are, take it or leave it, I usually Leave It.
Same. I told my ex, I didn't appreciate her lack of trust in me and the unfounded assumptions she made. She came up with a long list of things she wanted me to change while she was unwilling to make a single change in herself. I told her I don't want to be with someone who lacks basic trust in me and expected me to all the changes.
@@nodeout5465its a great way to permanently deteriorate your ability to pair bond. And dont say thats not the goal because if its not why are you bothering with relationships anyway? Also 3-6 months is pathetic, usually takes 1.5-2 years minimum before i hear a peep of anything like this. Maybe something shes saying really is your fault, but you wont hold yourself accountable either way because your ego is too fragile. poor guy
This is So true. Can’t even count how many times I’ve received fake factual accusations and I played right into it. Next time I’ll use the “I feel” trick.
I had heard a very similar advice a few years ago but simpler, and honestly it amazed me the way it worked so well. I was told to just say "I understand you feel" + repeat what she says, and 9 out of 10 times she will calm down. Women's brains are fascinating, in the same way worms' or flies' are.
I honestly don't care if it is, "I feel" or not. The fact she can't calibrate her words to the person she is speaking to is telling me she is too childish and immature and it is time to step away. Edit: if it keeps happening.
I agree. Although, this is useful for dealing with a family member because you can't as easily eject them from your life. Everyone else gets zero tolerance and is immediately replaced I say. If you can't adult, you can't be around me.
If you constantly have to manage her emotions with "tactics" just leave and go find an adult woman because she is a child. Life is short gentleman don't waste it. Don't be afraid of being alone.
Thank you, Dr. Taraban. This video just gave me a lightbulb moment, I can see this being an effective strategy in the face of accusations. I wish I knew this years ago, would have prevented so much heartbreak. Thank you for all that you do, please keep up the good work 🙏
It is great that psychologists are recognizing and validating Patrice'a O'Neils ideas. I just wish he were credited more for the brilliance he had with no academic training in psychological study.
Wow, an 87 year old on the internet. You are older than the oldest people I interact with (as my grandparents are all already dead tho I’m just 23) You are rare in these here spaces my good sir
I always by default used to counter using facts and used to wonder why it never worked even though the facts were on my side. This clears up a lot of confusion. Thanks a lot!
My experience is that nothing causes a more delusional disconnect with reality than incontrovertible facts that contradicted her feelings. Nothing. Narcissism is the abomination of desolation.
Ya, facts don’t stand a chance against her feelings in the moment. Later, when everyone is calm, facts may help. To a woman, her feelings often trump facts. Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars. It helps to remember this.
This episode gives validity to the statement, “she’s not yours it’s just your turn”. Most men forget that emotions are fleeting and apply a sense of permanence to their situation instead of simply being present and enjoying the moment.
man, this episode is purely gold, i have many failures with women both in dating or corporate world (too many female boss now days dominated hierarchy) ; really need this episode
When I got divorced after 13.5 years together, my ex constantly attacked me like that. She said that I never loved her, and never cared for her - even though my depression and self-cancellation fed her narcissism during the entire relationship. I wish I've seen your videos two years ago. Thank you for this.
Man I know the feeling. I have been separated 16 months after 19 years of marriage. I am not going back to her. I started to heal and be my self again. Blessings man!!
It shows you how many women are so emotionally minded. You can see how he adds "I feel" and "right now" in order for us to understand female behavior. It's all about the feelz and the immediate situation. Somewhat akin to children. Emotion always rears it's head first due to coming on automatically by itself but rational thoughtful reasoning normally requires work in a though process and takes time, intelligence and self control.
they never be not emotional. they work: instinct, emotion, reason. you can force them to reason first but it will never become the default. and in this extremist femnitzi world, you cant force them. they are basically children, their animalistic layer is always on top. because of that their whole existence is about "feel good" = always satisfy her instinctual needs (aka reproduction) in the moment. this is why they never became a leader class of societies. they are just useful idlots for the system.
Women are emotional and men logical. Even in the homosexual world one will be emotional aka more feminine. Two fem men are a mess. Cannot change how a person is created. Find a logical man is my best advice
There is a deeper spiritual meaning in this technique. It reminds us, that almost every thoughts and emotions, specially the intensive ones, are shortlived and temporary, So we shouldnt take them too serisously. Thanks for that !
I know for certain your wisdom will positively impact my interaction with women moving forward. In the past I gave reasons and explanations to an emotionally-charged woman. Not knowing I was validating what she felt in the moment. Now I am fully aware that doing so is like adding fuel to a fire. More accurate reflection instead. Thank you!
This is still one of the best channels to learn things about relationhips. Teraban has already been a top shelf content creator but this video is on another level.
This is awesome, you can just simply say, "interesting." One of my biggest boundaries with my women is, they are never allowed to say "I love you" to me. They find it hard at first but after some time they learn to adapt to "I adore it when..." Keeps me in pace with them and lets them feel like they are setting the stage. Reality I'm paying attention to their actions.
“Confession of her emotional state” Prepend “I feel” to the start of her confessions of her emotional state. And append “right now” to the end. What a revelation and game changer. Reminds me of Patrice O’Neal.
This one made me subscribe. My wife is 6 weeks pregnant now and she hasn’t learned yet how to manage the mood swings that come from the increased hormones. This video is a life saver that came right on time
This video provides good advice. It summarizes what I painfully figured out over time. Most women will be faithful to their feelings over facts. If you reply with facts, she'll take that as you ignoring her feelings. I've never seen a conversation that went that way to work out.
Putting your future at the mercy of the fickle whims of a woman, is one of the most foolish things a man can do. If regret & disappointment are your goals, this is how you get them. Do yourself a favor, learn from the mistakes of those who have been there and done that. Risk management should always be the centerpiece of any relationship with women.
@@filipkominos3111 The world is full of good women who have not been indoctrinated with the poison of feminism. For the most part, modern western women are a lost cause.
@@susanhaines7358 A woman can now get divorced with just a "I'm just not happy anymore", and poof, she knows the court system settlement will greatly favor her "fickle whim".
The easiest way yo not have an argument is, don't have an argument. Your advice absolutely helps one rearrange the tantrum into something that can be sorted.
Usually, when I watch videos like this, I pick up a few good tips, but this one? It’s on a whole different level. It’s like a cheat code, game changer. Keep it up 👍🏽
once again, my crazy uncle was right when he was teaching me game 30 yrs ago. his words: "when she's screaming out of control... don't pay it any mind. that's just her sweating-out her feelings in the moment. just repeat what she said (reflection), nod your head a/o smirk, and keep calm... it will blow over." this was a great episode. thanks Doc.
Wise wise words. The things you are talking about are something that men usually have to learn by experiencing these things with women. Failing first and slowly maturing.
Genius video. There's a necessary gap between what one person feels and what another is responsible for. Adam Ant said it best, "If it means heartache, then give it up for YOUR sake."
Profound knowledge. Great tool. When arguing with a woman once about honesty she stated I meant it when I said it. That statement troubled me for a long time. This video helps put that statement into perspective.
You are entirely correct, Doc. It took me 45 years as a man to understand this. I wish every young man understood this concept. It will save them lots of headaches in their relationships.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Reflection, is hilarious. The British Comedian, Benny Hill (RIP), used to do comedy skits on "reflection." He'd dress up as a middle aged woman, wearing a whig, doing dishes in the kitchen being interviewed by some off-screen voice. BH, in drag, would say to the camera, "I love doing dishes with Happy Spring Dish Soap." The off screen voice would say, ...you love doing dishes with Happy Spring Soap? "Yes, and it smells so wonderful." It smells so wonderful. "Yes, and it's easy on my hands and it makes my skin feel so good!" ...your skin is nice and you like that? "Yes, I'm so happy I feel good washing dishes with Happy Spring Soap." ...and you're happy. "Yes, and when the dishes are done, I can move on to something else." ...so you can move on to the next thing? "Yes, .... this skit never stopped! 🤣
Doctor Taraban with this episode you have confirmed that you are one of the most valuable archive of wisdom on any media, digital or not. My sincere thanks and sorry for you and your work.

The strategy is simple: no matter what woman you're dealing with, and no matter what a woman tells you, to the extent that she becomes emotional, you need to mentally create a verbal sandwich around her words.

Literally the only way you could make me lose my cool is to do something that violates the marriage covenant. The advice on how not to seem defensive by listing counterfactuals is really helpful to me though
I feel I LOVE THIS CHAPTER right now! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Please Orion, then help US to know what to do if those words (feelings) comes with a Bad behaviour (attack) from the woman we love 😢 What to do in thar very moment and LATER then..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
i hear that a part of you feels ... right now
Sorry, but defending yourself is necessary even in ungrounded accusations. Lack of any response is often taken as acquiescence. That said, a stronger defense is to simply deny and force the others to make their point. By doing so, making THEM look bad.
@@Mike80528 This very well could be true! It all depends on what kind of nutjob woman you managed to select. I think its worthwhile to try his suggestion first, especially with minor accusations, and see how she responds/reacts, and if she reacts as you suggest, then do the defense.
Adding the "I feel" and "right now" to the beginning and end of a woman's negative statements towards you is a great suggestion. Adding the "I feel" and "right now" to the beginning and end of a woman's positive statements towards you is a fugging genius level suggestion and brutal dose of reality when you do it.
Brilliant episode.
Not just the negative statements.. But added to All statements.
She says : I love you
Quickly translate it to
I feel I LOVE YOU right now.
Do that and you'll never lose frame
No doubt. Women are almost like children whose emotions you have to manage...
I feel I should throw you out of my life right now.
Yeah, I agree, those are great words to add to the beginning and ending and acting upon 😂
What @jaytee5820 wrote above states perfectly what I was going to write. 👍 Brilliant episode from Orion Taraban, Psy.D.

I wish I knew this 10 years ago. Young millennials and Gen Z don't know how lucky they are hearing this type of practical information before they make any costly lifelong mistakes.
Those "men" don't really hear this advices, they defend the woke ideas and idealize women, they will only will value this things when they fall in that mistakes and awake. But they are extremely submissive, so meanwhile the will be attacking this kind of people and advices.
They don’t know how lucky we are that we aren’t a part of that generation.
It's all good, we get practical advice about women that are very low quality this generation, and you got the ability to afford a house and raise a family, fair trade 👍🏼
This Same info was around 15 years ago. You just wasn't looking for it. Nothing new under the sun or most of yt
@@drwayne_carter9115that's not true bro except your right about not being able to afford a house. those of us like me went through bad relationships then was forced to start over and now we can't afford stuff either. some like went over seas with our pension and now had to downgrade our life. I'm now in West Africa at 53 starting over. trust me you are getting great advice nowadays and most of it is being aware of family law corruption. good luck to you. live well and apply what you know now and help others.

Hey
What communities are these, where can I join them?
Can we give this man a round of applause for him showing us a major wife hack. That was a real eye opener I needed because I instantly jump to defensive mode but I’m going to try this because it seems so much more peaceful.
Used to be me too. Counseling helped me, but the sandwich is amazing … reflecting is the win. Staying out of their emotions is very hard. Especially when being challenged. Feeling defensive is the right feeling, because it’s like wtf woman. 😂 definitely major wife hack
The best wife hack is to not get any wife at all.
@@LeteNoff I can’t argue that
I just have my women learn NVC (Nonviolent communication) and take responsibility over how they express themselves.
Something to remember: if she's still capable of getting upset, she still cares. Her passion may be temporarily misguided, but at least the spark is still there. Some woman need the full spectrum of highs and lows to feel alive. They'll create drama when the waters are too calm. They'll poke you with a stick just to hear your growl, to know you still care.
Exactly... and I mean exactly... like a difficult child fishing for attention & validation.
And then they poke too much pushing one away and then wonder what happens.
That’s exhausting.

😂, fuck 😮
The only problem is that the state will not see your point and you will be severely punished financially if you use it in that context. Unless you’re marrying up 🤷🏻♂️
Right now is ever always now. (Cant escape it). So basically now is forever. Ps the now is not to be mistaken with the “situation” unfolding of course!
Yep. They’re the devil.
The “sandwich” treatment applied to the positive statements is absolute GOLD. I’ve had to learn the hard way that many times what a woman says is only true in the moment.
I wasn’t expecting it at all, but makes sense too 🥲
It is gold. Already used it on a positive today
You're all being fooled into a life of misery. Draw a hard line and put the nagging maniac in her place.
Note to myself: The sandwich trick is 1) to place "I feel" in front of any emotional state she expreses of you and 2) to put "right now" at the end her statements, this will give you a bigger and clear perspective aswell as not to take whatever she said personal or somethintbyou need to disproof.. its just her experience so you cant argue. 3) To descalate situations of conflict, use reflection methods like repeating what she said with "you feel that .....same thing she said........" And let her continue, it will make her feel heard and calm her down.
Use the the "I feel" tactic against them, I do. Doesn't mean it works all the time, it certainly means they have less of a chance to ensare you in an emotional rant that's usually created in her own head then self projected onto you.
9:53 - This is called ‘Mirroring’ a Chris Voss classic that works 100% of the time. Also the sandwich technique is pure GOLD!!!! I think back on arguments with former lovers and I kick myself mentally, but this is a learning moment. Be the Mountain, not the Weather.
Jesus man this is 12 minutes of *solid* *gold*. ESPECIALLY the end, don’t just do this to negative statements, do it to the positive ones also, to keep your ego in check. This video is priceless
Memento mori.
I thought the exact same thing
Yup.
When women say "I love you" and want the man to say it back, men often hesitate, because they feel it's a huge, permanent statement that is not to be made lightly. Meanwhile women just meant it in a temporary sense of "in this moment" and are shocked that men can't say it, even though they clearly are enjoying the moment... ahaha, oh man, what a revelation!
Yeah but... maybe then the man tries to say it thinking it's only transient, and years later the woman says "but you said you loved me" as if it was a permanent thing... meanwhile when she says it she probably does mean it is transient?
@@GidarGaming You can't really win that game ever with any woman though and it's pointless to worry about it (in fact worrying about it will make you less attractive to her and push her away). As Orion illustrates in the video, if she says "you said you loved me" she's really just weaponizing intimacy to try and hurt/provoke you. The problem isn't the statement you made in the past, it's that you did something to make her feel uneasy or upset (or she just has other things in her life that make her feel uneasy/upset) and that's her way of expressing it. The salient point is when a person is communicating emotionally (even men) they don't necessarily care about the truth/logic/etc of the statement. They are just trying to convey their emotion often in the strongest way possible.
Thanks for pointing this out. This explains why I have a tough time saying back to people.
Fickle creatures
And you say back: "you feel that you love me" 😂
I've had a theory this is why women never shut up about how "vulnerability is strength". Yeah. Your choosing to be vulnerable for them is their strength.
or rather our SAFETY. Your vulnerability to US guarantees our safety FROM YOU. (because yes, you can actually become our threat). We want you to be strong to the rest of the world but vulnerable to US. How does this not make sense to so many men?
@@cloisonnegreen Too many of us have had our vulnerability taken advantage of by women that we trusted with it. Some of us the majority of women, some of us all of them.
It DOES make sense to us in that we understand a woman's needs always come first, especially to her.
@@cloisonnegreen
That sounds nice and poetic but the reality is, men have learned to listen not to what women say but what they do. And what they do is typically the opposite of what they say. So it sounds nice and poetic of what you say about women wanting men to be vulnerable, but men’s experience is that it’s used against tell AND/OR being too open/vulnerable is eventually is received as being weak. Even if she consciously isn’t thinking that directly, subconsciously she is because women are adapted to not look for weakness in mean because it’s a survival strategy.
Women typically say things to get results whereas men say things they actually feel, to get to the truth. Words are a means to an end for women whereas words are a means to an end for men.
This is why men can’t take what women say at their word. They must judge them by their actions.
this is the power of the internet, married 40 years and have lived and breathed everything this man said. I have been educated thank you sir
I JUST used this strategy with my kid’s mom. It worked to PERFECTION. She literally couldn’t say anything else when I sandwiched her emotional thoughts with “you feel”…”right now” through accurate reflection. Took about two cycles. She was genuinely incapable of dragging me into an emotional argument. It was beautiful! Lol
Easy. Always be emotionally capable of letting her go if she wants you to change something fundamental about yourself and your dreams. I’ve experienced both sides of this. When you set boundaries and stay calm when they test you, maintaining the moral high ground, they know you aren’t naive. They will respect you. Then they can decide if they want to change themselves to stay with you or find another guy. Whether they stay or walk, you win by not losing yourself.
Wow well said, I need to write this down somewhere!
Add kids to this situation, now go!
Doesn’t work, you must be willing to humble yourself, and find a way to compromise for the sake of what’s now more important than your life and dreams.. your family.
If you’re dating, then yeah, this is great advice. If your married and/or have children, God be with you!
@@xARTi5Tx true. One would hope that these problems are uncovered before bringing innocent life into the situation. But many times they aren’t, in which case you must compromise your values to appease the woman’s feelings. Women are very smart and act differently before marriage and children so you must be very cautious. I know this first hand.
👆🏼
Yes. The moral high ground. Always play that card. However, they are so immature they will think of you as a cuck even if you have the moral high ground
You said in 12 minutes what takes years to comprehend through experience , On point !
And there's actually quite a lot of repetition in that 12 minutes!
Every young man needs to hear this. I learned all this the hard way.
Trouble is young people are 1. dealing very, very attractive other young people and 2. they are pumped full of hormones that dictate most of their decisions.
Almost impossible for them to overcome either fact. If they were dealing with passive aggressive, post menopausal, overweight women after many decades in the same relationship, they would be much more able to see things clearly.
Sexual attraction is very, very hard to overcome.

Outstanding video. A big mistake I have made in life is thinking the words from a woman were absolutes - being told I was the best man she had ever been with meant I had achieved something permanent, when it was just a temporary and passing moment of elation. Thanks for this video.
This is really a more detailed and eloquent version of
'Regard women as grown children, in their emotional responses'.
And of course, holds just as true.
They change very little, past the age of 13 or 14. I remember very clearly in Jr high school, how fickle girls got by the time they reached 9th grade. How they felt yesterday, vs today about you, they could turn on a dime! But this " I feel \" insert comment\ at this moment" makes the concept CRYSTAL CLEAR. He is a very astute scientific observer.
Don Draper: "I feel like I'm talking to a little girl."
100% correct but there is a difference. I expect these volatile behaviors from a child and I expect to teach them how to work past issues. What is not my expectation or responsibilities is to navigate volcano 3D verbal chess with a fully grown adult female just because I always have to be 100% perfect and in "control" while she flies off the handle or judges and remembers every small thing I did, didn't, or sat or do wrong. It's not worth it, not even innthe slightest just for a small amount of intimacy and "companionship"? No thanks, I can get better love from a dog coming home to a nice quite empty big house filled with objectives or projects that don't give stress or anxiety and have constant peace
I’m 51 now and a lot more stoic in the face of a female emotionally charged situation. Actually, I’m no longer dealing with it. I just use one word and then don’t say anything else. That word is, “Noted”. Then I go and spend my time doing something for me. My partner is either complimentary to my life or not. She has the choice to leave.
This. Stoicism saves lives.

*I love the idea of starting and ending with positivity; it makes the whole interaction feel balanced and respectful!*
I’m fairly natural and keeping my cool (very aware of my emotional response) Every girl I’ve dated that says “you don’t love me” or “you hate me” in a dispute I tell them to come here kindly, after some hesitation they usually come close.
I always just wrapped them in my arms (after opening them to them so they know I want them close) and talked to them tell them they know I love them and some subtle soothing shshsh’s like I would a younger child (because they are usually emotional at this point) as it is comforting. And then we talk as I hold them as they feel comfortable and safe.
Wow, that's the best way to handle her, notice that a lot of women start to call their mate "daddy". You just totally helped her understand/reminded her that she is being loved by you (who's important to her). That's so brilliant ! I think you've got it , you've found the answer!!!!! 💖🙏✝️

If that doesn’t work, get a dog.
No this is the definition of cope.
Since women's emotions are like the weather in Louisiana (if you don't like it, wait 15 minutes...it will change), this helps prevent getting swept up WITH her. Don't get too low, *OR* too high.
LOL we have this same saying about New England weather! But i reckon we get a lil more snow here than you do in cajun country!
Hey fellow Louisianan! So I guess winter is just over now and summer came early this year huh? 😂
As someone who grew up in The Netherlands, I can firmly agree. Being bothered by a woman's emotions is like getting bothered with the changing weather. it's pointless.
The part where you said, "I'm not responsible for someone else's emotions " is golden. But coping with their emotions is exhausting. It's easier to change them out routinely so that this behavior doesnt keep repeating itself. I dont need to be emotionally abused just because she feels a certain way. It is not okay to start shit just because they have emotions.
Finally you have shown us, not only the intellectual reason behind the emotional immaturity, but how as men we can love in the way, to help women mature emotionally. Thank you. Let's hope that will help women to better respect us.

Do you mind sharing your Website?
his technique seems to be simply applying the ideals of creating distance to emotions. If I am feeling depressed, I can say to myself, right now I feel depressed. or I am having the feeling that I am depressed. It seems he repurposed this to create emotional distance between the man and his female partners emotions. Ideally the woman would do this herself before she has some childish outburst though.
@@ParisTNT Basically a tutorial for men to deal with wild animals
Best thing I've ever learned about women is that they need drama and they feel uncomfortable with long periods of peace..Therefore, they'll purposely do things to start arguments or try to get under your skin. Someone who is committed to being offended by or arguing with you is going to find a way regardless of what strategy you ploy. You can't completely ignore them but you definitely don't want to get emotionally riled up in these situations. If you do, it's essentially reinforcing/rewarding bad behavior.
sounds like those are damaged/ delusional women.
Drama isn't necessary in a healthy persons life but there needs to be some kind of entertainment/fun in order to balance the boredom of everyday life.
I beg do defer sir. They definitely can be ignored indefinitely.
@@Candlelight787 I agree...If you're not living with them
This is true, and why I've broken up with so many women. I value my peace over everything.
I agree with all of these comments.
20 year old here. I found this so valuable. You have enlightened me. As you said, my responses to her "hurtful" and "untrue" statements were defensive, and i sometimes take everything she says in the moment of anger at face value, which have negatively affected my relationship. I used to be so hurt, after thinking all my efforts were in vain when she says things like, I dont love her. She had told me many times, she didnt mean the things she said when she was angry. Eventhough I too knew this in my brain, my heart couldnt catch up and I'd take long time to recover from the hurt. I didnt know every female were like this and it wasnt just me who was suffering until I saw the comment section of the video. We men make the mistake of using logic to counter the emotional behaviours of woman which is a losing game. Cannot thank you enough, sir. You sir, have saved my relationship. May god bless you ❤️

Wtf, you need to take her to get mental health checkup. That's not normal. I mean my grandma did that before onset of dementia.
She’s mentally ill, but still pathologically toxic. Have empathy for her, but still avoid her if she’s so toxic it brings you down.
😢
If a woman says that nonsense to me I'm skating. I don't care enough to parse their BS and play mental games in order to be able to tolerate childish behavior and manipulation. This is why I love the first 3 to 6 months of the relationship. I'm getting all the good stuff without any of this manipulative nonsense. When the nonsense starts, my attention is directed elsewhere.
Audios muchacha.
“When the nonsense starts, my attention is directed elsewhere.”
Identifying manipulative behavior and moving on from it is key to maintaining peace in life.
Great comment 100%
Sad but fact. I know that I would like it otherwise, but after that 3-6 months, sometimes longer, yep, it happens. And I'm mentally out, if not completely out. Not by my predetermined choice, it's just I won't tolerate that crap. And a new gal won't do that. Even worse to numb us, a gal breaking up with her BF/husband after years will "feel" all these love emotions for a new guy right away. Oh, those will be fleeting too but for us men it's bewildering at first to witness. That we are the recipient of those "love" emotions or the ex discarded.
Describes to a tee my own experiences. Somehow after about those 6 months the BS starts happening, they can’t keep repressing those “feelings” they have. I have absolutely no patience or tolerance for that. (as I get older the lesser patience) Usually it means saying goodbye. The ‘funny thing’ is a lot come back after a while, sometimes years, to try to reconnect. Some would say it’s just how women are, take it or leave it, I usually Leave It.
Same. I told my ex, I didn't appreciate her lack of trust in me and the unfounded assumptions she made. She came up with a long list of things she wanted me to change while she was unwilling to make a single change in herself. I told her I don't want to be with someone who lacks basic trust in me and expected me to all the changes.
@@nodeout5465its a great way to permanently deteriorate your ability to pair bond. And dont say thats not the goal because if its not why are you bothering with relationships anyway? Also 3-6 months is pathetic, usually takes 1.5-2 years minimum before i hear a peep of anything like this.
Maybe something shes saying really is your fault, but you wont hold yourself accountable either way because your ego is too fragile.

This is So true. Can’t even count how many times I’ve received fake factual accusations and I played right into it. Next time I’ll use the “I feel” trick.
I had heard a very similar advice a few years ago but simpler, and honestly it amazed me the way it worked so well. I was told to just say "I understand you feel" + repeat what she says, and 9 out of 10 times she will calm down.
Women's brains are fascinating, in the same way worms' or flies' are.

Bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@St.Buddha_Brahman-Sun_of_Light Lol, be my guest.
I honestly don't care if it is, "I feel" or not. The fact she can't calibrate her words to the person she is speaking to is telling me she is too childish and immature and it is time to step away. Edit: if it keeps happening.
I agree. Although, this is useful for dealing with a family member because you can't as easily eject them from your life. Everyone else gets zero tolerance and is immediately replaced I say. If you can't adult, you can't be around me.

@NickMart1985 Nah, SimonCameron is right, your way sounds like being a doormat.
If you constantly have to manage her emotions with "tactics" just leave and go find an adult woman because she is a child. Life is short gentleman don't waste it. Don't be afraid of being alone.
One of the most helpful videos I’ve ever watched on relationships. Thank you
Thank you, Dr. Taraban. This video just gave me a lightbulb moment, I can see this being an effective strategy in the face of accusations. I wish I knew this years ago, would have prevented so much heartbreak. Thank you for all that you do, please keep up the good work 🙏
It is great that psychologists are recognizing and validating Patrice'a O'Neils ideas. I just wish he were credited more for the brilliance he had with no academic training in psychological study.
I'm pretty sure it was from him that I originally heard the "I feel"... "right now" trick.
Thanks. Just went through a similar exchange with an 83 old lady 'friend' and I am 87 - so, life goes on - no matter what else happens. Good advice,
How is it being an 87 year old on RUclips?
@@cijalrahim6875What I wouldn’t pay to see his algorithmic feed?
@MountainViews90 Let’s not mock him now, we don’t know anything about him.
Wow, an 87 year old on the internet. You are older than the oldest people I interact with (as my grandparents are all already dead tho I’m just 23)
You are rare in these here spaces my good sir
@@user-go2xi7zq5q He should create a RUclips channel in which he relates stories about his life. I would subscribe to it in a heartbeat.
I always by default used to counter using facts and used to wonder why it never worked even though the facts were on my side. This clears up a lot of confusion. Thanks a lot!
My experience is that nothing causes a more delusional disconnect with reality than incontrovertible facts that contradicted her feelings.
Nothing.
Narcissism is the abomination of desolation.
Females HATE FACTS ...never use facts.
Ya, facts don’t stand a chance against her feelings in the moment. Later, when everyone is calm, facts may help. To a woman, her feelings often trump facts. Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars. It helps to remember this.
What she thought she was saying: I feel... etc.
What she heard you respond with: You don't feel that way because [facts].
This episode gives validity to the statement, “she’s not yours it’s just your turn”. Most men forget that emotions are fleeting and apply a sense of permanence to their situation instead of simply being present and enjoying the moment.
man, this episode is purely gold, i have many failures with women both in dating or corporate world (too many female boss now days dominated hierarchy) ; really need this episode
Wow... give this man a Nobel!!!
“I feel” like that is some of the best advice I have ever heard regarding women and relationships “right now” 🙂. Thanks for sharing this.
When I got divorced after 13.5 years together, my ex constantly attacked me like that.
She said that I never loved her, and never cared for her - even though my depression and self-cancellation fed her narcissism during the entire relationship.
I wish I've seen your videos two years ago. Thank you for this.
Stop engaging with her. Narcissists are gone gone.
Man I know the feeling.
I have been separated 16 months after 19 years of marriage.
I am not going back to her.
I started to heal and be my self again. Blessings man!!
Pure interpersonal-communication gold!
Thank you a lot.
Clearly one of the best peace of device I have ever received. Thank you so much!
It shows you how many women are so emotionally minded. You can see how he adds "I feel" and "right now" in order for us to understand female behavior. It's all about the feelz and the immediate situation. Somewhat akin to children. Emotion always rears it's head first due to coming on automatically by itself but rational thoughtful reasoning normally requires work in a though process and takes time, intelligence and self control.
they never be not emotional. they work: instinct, emotion, reason. you can force them to reason first but it will never become the default. and in this extremist femnitzi world, you cant force them. they are basically children, their animalistic layer is always on top. because of that their whole existence is about "feel good" = always satisfy her instinctual needs (aka reproduction) in the moment. this is why they never became a leader class of societies. they are just useful idlots for the system.
Women are emotional and men logical. Even in the homosexual world one will be emotional aka more feminine. Two fem men are a mess. Cannot change how a person is created. Find a logical man is my best advice
This episode is pure 24k gold. I’m glad people (me included) are reviving this wisdom. Thanks a lot!
Reading that, I can't help but hear MHD in my head saying "puuure gold!" 😆
"I feel like you're the father of my baby right now."
😂
Yup, sad but true.
"I feel like getting some milk right now" should be your answer.
I feel like i am not the father of your child:)
I feel like eating a halal pita sandwich 🥙
This advice is pure gold.
There is a deeper spiritual meaning in this technique. It reminds us, that almost every thoughts and emotions, specially the intensive ones, are shortlived and temporary, So we shouldnt take them too serisously.
Thanks for that !
I know for certain your wisdom will positively impact my interaction with women moving forward. In the past I gave reasons and explanations to an emotionally-charged woman. Not knowing I was validating what she felt in the moment. Now I am fully aware that doing so is like adding fuel to a fire. More accurate reflection instead. Thank you!
This is still one of the best channels to learn things about relationhips. Teraban has already been a top shelf content creator but this video is on another level.
This is awesome, you can just simply say, "interesting."
One of my biggest boundaries with my women is, they are never allowed to say "I love you" to me. They find it hard at first but after some time they learn to adapt to "I adore it when..." Keeps me in pace with them and lets them feel like they are setting the stage. Reality I'm paying attention to their actions.
This is a great life hack! A lot of men need to know this. Amazing!👏🏾
I learned this method on my own after a few years of a really tough relationship. It definitely works.
“Confession of her emotional state”
Prepend “I feel” to the start of her confessions of her emotional state. And append “right now” to the end. What a revelation and game changer.
Reminds me of Patrice O’Neal.
Patrice would frame the whole discussion around, ‘as a woman is r*ping your time and mental state, just prepend…’
@@wellnesspathforme6236lol
This one made me subscribe. My wife is 6 weeks pregnant now and she hasn’t learned yet how to manage the mood swings that come from the increased hormones. This video is a life saver that came right on time
Great timming, brother. Good luck!
I feel so sorry both for your wife and the unfortunate child you will have.
congrates in advance but... why would she learn if you havent taught her and why would she? thats just how women are
@@cosmicystn3626 Hope it's a girl.
This is possibly the most useful tool I've heard shared in any of your videos I've come across. Thank you
Man, I thought I was good at understanding the female psyche, but Dr Taraban is on another level. Incredible.
This video provides good advice. It summarizes what I painfully figured out over time. Most women will be faithful to their feelings over facts. If you reply with facts, she'll take that as you ignoring her feelings. I've never seen a conversation that went that way to work out.
Those who understand women never argue with them.
Possibly the most valuable episode you've put out and that's saying something.
Putting your future at the mercy of the fickle whims of a woman, is one of the most foolish things a man can do. If regret & disappointment are your goals, this is how you get them. Do yourself a favor, learn from the mistakes of those who have been there and done that. Risk management should always be the centerpiece of any relationship with women.
I wonder why marriage rates are at an all time low, and dropping rapidly?
So what do you propose to do instead?
@@filipkominos3111 The world is full of good women who have not been indoctrinated with the poison of feminism. For the most part, modern western women are a lost cause.
Why would they do that? How does anyone's emotions change your frame?
@@susanhaines7358 A woman can now get divorced with just a "I'm just not happy anymore", and poof, she knows the court system settlement will greatly favor her "fickle whim".
The easiest way yo not have an argument is, don't have an argument. Your advice absolutely helps one rearrange the tantrum into something that can be sorted.
Usually, when I watch videos like this, I pick up a few good tips, but this one? It’s on a whole different level. It’s like a cheat code, game changer. Keep it up 👍🏽
once again, my crazy uncle was right when he was teaching me game 30 yrs ago. his words:
"when she's screaming out of control... don't pay it any mind. that's just her sweating-out her feelings in the moment. just repeat what she said (reflection), nod your head a/o smirk, and keep calm... it will blow over."
this was a great episode. thanks Doc.
Wise wise words. The things you are talking about are something that men usually have to learn by experiencing these things with women. Failing first and slowly maturing.
The concept of everything a woman feels is temporary is very true. Loyalty would require a permanent love, and women aren't capable of that I believe.
Genius video. There's a necessary gap between what one person feels and what another is responsible for. Adam Ant said it best, "If it means heartache, then give it up for YOUR sake."
Profound knowledge. Great tool. When arguing with a woman once about honesty she stated I meant it when I said it.
That statement troubled me for a long time. This video helps put that statement into perspective.
You are entirely correct, Doc. It took me 45 years as a man to understand this. I wish every young man understood this concept. It will save them lots of headaches in their relationships.
"I feel I love you 'right now'.." LMAO
😭 shit is crazy
That is the reality though.
Han Solo knew about this, which is why he only said "I know" as reply 😜
This is scary bro ,i can't go back to my old way of thinking 😂
Living in the moment 😂
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Reflection, is hilarious. The British Comedian, Benny Hill (RIP), used to do comedy skits on "reflection." He'd dress up as a middle aged woman, wearing a whig, doing dishes in the kitchen being interviewed by some off-screen voice. BH, in drag, would say to the camera, "I love doing dishes with Happy Spring Dish Soap." The off screen voice would say, ...you love doing dishes with Happy Spring Soap? "Yes, and it smells so wonderful." It smells so wonderful. "Yes, and it's easy on my hands and it makes my skin feel so good!" ...your skin is nice and you like that? "Yes, I'm so happy I feel good washing dishes with Happy Spring Soap." ...and you're happy. "Yes, and when the dishes are done, I can move on to something else." ...so you can move on to the next thing? "Yes, .... this skit never stopped! 🤣
Doctor Taraban with this episode you have confirmed that you are one of the most valuable archive of wisdom on any media, digital or not. My sincere thanks and sorry for you and your work.
