    My first video with Orion was probably a bit too triggering for some viewers, but this longer talk shows his incredible insights and understanding. I urge viewers who were upset by last week’s post to give this video a chance and see if Orion’s definition of love isn’t the best and most beautiful one you’ve ever heard.

    When I was young in my 20’s 30’s and 40’s I put a value on everything I did at work and in my marriage. Now that I am in my 60’s I have come to realize how much it is an honor to perform Acts of Service for others. There will never be a paycheck for household domestic work; for cooking, doing laundry, vacuuming, cleaning toilets etc.. For many this “lowliest work of all” falls to women primarily. It’s easy to resent having to do this work and feel undervalued, unless a person feels inward value and pride in being a servant to those we love more than anything in this world. I used to think I was too good to do these things but now I am proud to be the good caregiver, the rock of the family. It’s a joy.

      This is pure truth.
      And yes, a man can have a "real" family if he chooses to have children with a woman of principle, whether he signs his autonomy away to the government via civil marriage or not. Signing that particular civil contract changes 0 of his prospects, but incurres him a mountain of liabilities.

      Because men are designed to spread their genes are women are very tough customers to get past, It’s is why the logic of fathers is so important.

      Similarly to how women can gather affinity to children, women can gather the same from men (just sexually). If the man proves himself useful, then by conceding to using his gifts and wanting him to remain around will she reciprocate.

    It’s just mind boggling to have such a vivid description of love and then be like: “that’s hopeless and no one actually wants that so don’t be sacrificial with those you care about…just care about you”.
    I haven’t heard him talk once about men becoming more comfortable sharing emotions, becoming more emotionally intelligent, etc. Just “the sexual marketplace.” There’s no solutions, which is the key sign of a grifter; if they gave you the solution, you wouldn’t need them anymore.

      Searching for "emotion" on his channel, the top 2 videos are: "Emotions are NEVER IRRATIONAL: feelings are not always justified" and "Emotions are living things: How to understand your feelings better"
      Seems fairly encouraging towards emotional intelligence...
      Sometimes there is no solution. If 1/3 young men aren't having sex, it's not because they aren't "emotionally intelligent," it's because they aren't presenting themselves attractively. Because I'm sure we all know emotionally stunted men who can sleep around as they please, so clearly that's not the definitive factor in engaging with women sexually.

Plus, if the emotion I'm feeling is "My d*^k isnt getting sucked enough," women aren't usually too thrilled about that emotion being shared.

      There is another aspect that has to occur for the male child. Children become aware of being male or female at about two years old. At that point the male child must cross over from his mother to the male side. This is usually seen in young boys as they initially reject everything they perceive as of a female nature. This is one more reason why sons need the father in the home. With too much female influence or not enough male role model, this transition may not happen, which is a primary reason for male homosexuality.

      -statistically dating for 2-3 years is best before engagement women is now 29 man is now 31
      - 1 year of engagement and wedding planning woman is now 30 man is now 32
      - 1 year of marriage before a child woman is now 31 man is now 33
      - First child (pregnant 9 months of course) woman is now 32 man is now 34
      - every Clinician will say you should wait atleast 18 months inbetween births
      - woman is now pregnant at 34 and the man is 36
      - The woman gives birth at 35 the man is now 37
      this is how you arrive at child birth rate of under 2.1 because the woman is now 35 and a doctor will not tell her to try again till she is 36-37 (18 months). This is the successful, well planned, married couple who only had 2 kids.
      now imagine a couple wanted 5 kids... when would they have had to start? 22-24, think about before modern medicine making conception past 35 a real possibility for the childs birth OR the mothers survival at birth.
      now remember replacement rate is 2.1 it is the minimum requirement which means for every 9 couples who has 2 kids the 10th couple must have 3 to keep that national average at the minimum, and that also means the 21 kids born from those 10 couples cannot have a birth defect that prevents having kids themselves, cannot die in there toddler years, teens, twenties, thirties or fourties and cannot choose not to have kids themselves, everything would have to be on the knifes edge for the population not to slip into complete decline.

He says if a woman adopts this attitude, it will help her get what she wants. I was in a 40 year marriage where I brought the morning coffee to my husband while he was shaving, did his laundry etc etc. because of the un-equal power relationship in our marriage ( he disagreed with my desire to return to work after our kids were getting older) it didn’t matter how many thousands of cups of perfect coffee I’d brought him, he still wanted everything his way, to control everything.

    He has a very valid point at the end. I've dated many women who had nothing but "toxic and abusive ex's" in their dating history along with an impenetrable victim mentality. When I was younger I used to say to myself "awww these poor unfortunate women". When I got a little bit older I would say "are all of her ex's really toxic or is it her?". And now I say "why the hell was I attracted to these types of women in the first place?".

      It's always a two-way street. The ex's may be toxic or not but it's her choice also, which means that maybe she wasn't really toxic to begin with but gradually, due to bad choices, has become toxic like her ex's. In any case, stay away from women like that, they deserve little pity, and same goes for men of similar ilk. Some people will look in the mirror and make the necessary hard changes and some will not. I think in my experience, most do not as they are too immature and weak to be critical of themselves. It's much easier to be a victim. In fact, stay away from any person that is of this type, unless they show you clearly that they deserve your respect and time. You do not have to publicly mock them, but internally, you do not need to respect them or give them any of your time. Move on and find people worth the effort.

    Recently I have been dating a new man. I myself am a full-time caregiver to my handicapped child from her birth. I was shocked to hear him say, love is a sacrifice. I rarely meet a Man, whom understands that love is a sacrifice and he completely respects me for caring for my daughter, for the past 22 years. I meet few men that understand what love is actually. The fact he finds my work, as a caregiver admirable and respects it, it speaks volumes for him and his understanding of what love is.

    • @todds.6028

      If love is sacrificial, that means it has to be sacrificial for YOU TOO.
      And since you're devoting all of your "sacrificial love" for your child (And understandably so. Your child clearly has needs), there's really not much left over for a man.
      Unfortunately you CAN'T have it all. You CAN'T devote your entire life to your child AND ALSO expect a man to just sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice with little to nothing reciprocated.
      Maybe you've found a man who is willing to. Good for you. If he's really a good man, then he deserves more than table scraps. And if that's all you can "sacrifice" for HIM, even HE will grow tired of being neglected sooner or later.

      No, in fact relationships have a higher chance to be satisfying now, although not guaranteed. Marriage and commitment never guaranteed satisfactions for everyone. Only legal stability.
      Most marriages have never been based on similarly yoked matches and fulfillment, so in time they became devitalized even if they stayed intact. People were simply required to adapt because divorce was not an option. This is control, not love.
      Today the defective ones end in divorce, as it should be.
      Marriage is a highly controlling, limiting institution, which is erroneously confused with pair-bonding. Hardly the same thing.
      Pair-bonding, on the other hand is what the focus should be on - marriage or not. In fact, pair-bonding without contract is even better because it stands on its own.

    This guy is correct about marriage being transactional … when my ex husband told me he didn’t believe in unconditional love, I knew we would not last. And we didn’t.

    "Bad things don't always look like bad things." is a great disclaimer. I can see why this guy is... intriguing to a "King" like Mark.

      Like having Chris D’Elia on recently, it seems he’s opened himself up to grifters and celebrities who need an image rebranding. I get that it makes for good views, but these guys don’t need more coverage

    This is true! I can’t say I was ever truly in love before I had my daughter. And she may be the only person I actually love. And that’s ok…

      I read through many comments on this video, and yours appears to me as the only comment that describes love accurately. Love is selfless, unconditional, and self-sacrificing. Love is a strong word, and not to be taken lightly 👍

    He’s spot on about divorce. My cheating ex-wife got a huge payday and took six figures that she didn’t help build. I was working 50-60h work weeks building our wealth and future while she was at the beach with our son or spending her summers with her family while I worked. Marriage was definitely her winning the lottery and elevating her living standards. I should’ve stuck to my guns on the prenup but I caved when she cried and said I didn’t believe we’d make it. Turns out I was right. We didn’t make it because she started cheated on me with her HS boyfriend. 🤦🏻‍♂️
