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

I cannot appreciate you enough, sir. A girl I've been seeing wants a lot from me but wants me to be a "friend". I am, an honorable guy, sick and tired of raw deals like this and told her so! Awaiting her response. This video will be sent to her asap.
@@BeautiHacks A lot (and I don't have a hell lot of time) of things that cost me much time (and some money). I told her that no high-value, self-respecting, healthy man with blood flowing thru his veins would accept her arrangement (straight out of Orion's videos),
@@BeautiHacks she wants me to help her write her damn doctoral dissertation - specifically, doing high-level statistical analysis . the girl is pretty and may have someone in the background. I've known her for 4 months. Awaiting her response. I asked for more than being "friends", clearly suggesting some actions and romance. why are there such (unreasonable) creatures on this earth?
My girlfriend exceeded my expectations in every way while we were dating. She put herself together by dressing well and taking care of herself through diet & exercise, she read a lot of non-fiction which keeps the intellectual gears going, she cooked & cleaned her own place on a daily basis, and she showed me how much she cared for me beyond what I offered in resources or attention. And it's a two-way street. I levelled up my financial game by going after better work, kept in shape, and spent time with her where I showed her I cared for her beyond just the sex. We've been married for 27 years and we still strive to be our best selves for each other. Sure, we falter from time to time, but the intention to make ourselves the best possible partner to the other is always there. I don't think building a life together really works any other way.
While reading your comment, I wondered for a second if it was my boyfriend writing this comment under a throwaway account. You sound exactly like him, and the way I behave sounds exactly like your girlfriend (now wife). I am happy to hear that this type of relationship can be sustained for so many years, it gives me hope! May you have at least as many happy years in the future with your beloved ❤
The premise is valid to a point. My experience is that both genders are looking for someone they can relate to… that they connect with. Sex follows when there’s a nourishing, mature, human understanding. All this talk is not as relevant when there’s a connection. I think what’s important is for people to have the inner security and personality skills to know how to relate. Another thing: I think what we all really want is NOURISHMENT. We have many short term relationships, so we need to know how to enjoy the nourishment of being with each other. Unfortunately, there really are toxic and emotionally undeveloped people out there who skew the conversation. Date, Enjoy, and consider what a long term relationship would be. With God’s blessing you will find your love.
Life is a series of games and some of the games aren't worth playing. Key lesson from my business school years... "Don't play games you can't win." So, the last point, play your cards well, is critical to success. Your resources are limited and there are many rigged games, with zero or negative sum outcomes for you. Choose wisely.
@@constantinethesecond949 yeah but common sense/knowledge is not really commone that's because we're programmed since birth to remain dumb and poor and never learn any critical thinking skills
@@imjaimja "look for a guy that loves you more and can take care of a family with good character to pass it to their kids " Ha, ha. Do you watch Manosphere Highlights Daily? He did a video a year or two ago. It featured an attractive black comedienne. She was telling a GF what she wanted in a man. Her first list was Alpha traits: attractive, tall, muscular, charismatic, etc. Her second part of the convo was Beta traits: he truly loves me, he wants a family, he'd be a terrific father, etc. She then played the part of her GF, who pointed out to her that the man she WANTS in the first list, is NOT the man with the traits she wants in the second part of the convo. In short: w0men today don't want the man you described.
@@M0viLover stop with the extremes. There are many men out there with both alpha and beta traits. Your superficial Western culture tends to pedestalatize the alpha and denigrate the beta.
The second he said women can enhance their chance of becoming ceo “by showing up and doing your fucken job” I lost it 😂 I love how this channel isn’t afraid to be blunt. Even though these harsh truths are painful the only way to truly live harmoniously as male and female is to have this level of understanding for each other.
I wish I knew this information in my prime time. Instead I heard all the BS from the women around me who had no clue, including my mother. Now in my 50s and divorced it’s kind of late for me. I do share this valuable info with any women who will listen. Thank you doc!!! Another great video.
I’m sure you wouldn’t have listened to this info even if you got it in your prime. Feminism has done a great job at manipulating women, especially younger ones.
not too late. you look attractive in your pic. go out and dont be afraid to ask a guy out, its a huge compliment. men are not complicated- Secks, food, and lack of drama. thats it. women want newness drama, uberstimulation. Men just want stability, Good Luck
I have zero interest in a woman who rushes to make sex a central part of what is meant to be a long term relationship. Getting to know her first really helps men with their discernment too.
It's an interesting comment because: A. I agree with this video. B. Your statement somewhat contradicts the video and C. I agree with your statement. Good input, thanks. Feel free to elaborate on how your comment relates to his point in the video. I am trying to piece it together myself, and might be assuming you mean different than you do.
@freighttrain7143 it's been several months ago. But here is my reply given what I remember. The video makes sex the key point to whether or not a relationship is successful and says that this sex should occur quickly and early. I agree sex is a key element to the success of a relationship but that if you want relationships that are successful in terms of finding a woman whom you build a life with, in whom a long term relationship is the goal then quick and early sex may not be healthy. Sex can blind a man to things that are red flags in women. It keeps us from getting to know who she is as deeply, asking questions that develop personal connection and friendship rather than only sexual desire and lust. If a man dives into sex so quickly it's harder to then circle back to learn and grow with her in areas not sexual. I don't think it has to take years or anything but a man can blind himself to a bad woman for far too long if there is early sex. Figure out if she is even worth your effort first before you blind and limit yourself with sex as the core part of the relationship.
The issue here is that women think they ARE ALREADY the CEO of the company auditioning men for their personal assistant job, without realizing, or far too late, that, in fact, they are the candidate to the men they want...
You're right that women feel that they are already the CEO. Given the vast number of simps applying, women are right. More women than men are getting what they want in this marketplace.
The most important thing is how someone makes us feel. Which is very personal. Think of your past, what do you remember better, a list of things others did for/with you, or how you *felt* at these times? Which is the most vivid? The feelings of course. The vibes. Have you ever had vivid memories of days where you did nothing, but felt happy and content? I'm sure you have. Things are simpler than that. There are people who speak to our core. It's not enough to just have resources or beauty. No need to work hard to win others over. Some people just get each other, feel at ease with each other and get giddy feelings around each other. it just happens.
The saddest thing about it is that his title is putting it very simplistic and as a person who witnessed women acting bizarre, especially in the dating scene. I can definitely say for sure that unless you've been living under a rock 🪨 women have been doing this since the dawn of time. Depsite he made a bold title for the video. What he is saying is essentially nothing new! I've have a gut feeling his advice won't be taking seriously.
I don’t know if calling it “being used” is the right term. It emphasizes passivity. I think the idea is to be aware that some relationships may lead nowhere. However, if you start to feel exploited, have the courage to leave such a person. In essence, my approach is a “healthy” egoism. In relationships I try to prioritize both them and me. Because if you are too self-centered, it’s “using” another person. And if you are too selfless, you may end up “being used” and not able to protect yourself. One should love both others and themselves to be able to build a fulfilling relationship.
I completely disagree that women have to allow themselves to be used sexually if they want a man. I do agree that everyone is required to demonstrate value if they wish to be chosen by a potential partner. As a woman, I take a risk by opening my heart, expressing desire and respect for a man, letting him know I’m interested, listening to him, being nurturing. Providing companionship and things he can’t get from other men who are always competing with him or sizing him up. I’m different because I accept and appreciate him. Yet he could reject me even after all that. This is the way in which women must risk being used, not by spreading our legs. I preserve my value by not having sex with men who have not committed to me. And I am able to do this because I get interested in average, good men instead of obsessing over the Uber-attractive narcissistic men at the top 1%. Those men are never kind anyway, who wants ‘em. This is how I preserve my value, take risks to find love, and recognize high quality men that others may overlook.
This. As a man reading this warms my heart a little. Maybe we're not doomed after all, but I find it difficult to stumble across women with your mentality.
"Uber-attractive narcissistic men". They're not narcissitic, they just don't see you at their level. Also your choice (if true, because i suspect it's not) means you will have to eliminate and be eliminated by a lot of men. It's a sad reality that people with options pursue the best options available to them.
The best way to get a promotion is to do the job you want to get promoted into. Take on more responsibility and perform at a higher level, and the promotion is obvious because you're already there. If you want to be a wife, be a wife now. Any woman that says she'll be a good wife, but only after getting married is lying to you, if not to herself also.
Why would you get promoted by doing the job that you want to get promoted into? I would think that the company would save money by keeping you at the same level and USING you.
@@TaureanDreams Create a portfolio of sort, consisting of past work experience in said promotion work. If your current employer doesn't promote you, why not go to a competitor with the portfolio?
@@kurisey8020 I was just agreeing with the previous commenter b/c I have seen this happen. I personally will always leave and get a promotion and raise
@@brandonmartin8270 Considering the world's population, most people probably don't celebrate Christmas. Many people in the States don't for various reasons as well.😂
The worst advice I ever got in dating was to hold off on sex for three months. Denying his needs, not to mention MINE, felt counterintuitive! Every cell in my body railed against that notion. If sleeping with a guy “too soon”means he looks upon me less fondly, I don’t want that one.
A point of clarification, while sex before commitment is the modern norm. It is not what sets a women apart from her competition. A helpful and supportive women is the role when you are auditioning to be a wife to a highly successful man.
Women and men in long term relationships both feel like slaves. As a woman I work hard to look nice and keep the fridge stocked, pay my share of the bills, take care of the kids, weed the garden, keep up on laundry etc. There are times I feel burnt out and feel like a slave to my family. But the thing is my husband feels the same way. He has to pay his part of the bills, drive the kids around, mow the lawn, make home repairs etc. He often feels like a slave as well. It’s all about effort, no matter how tired we are we’ve just got to keep working as a team and picking up the slack where the other leaves off. Relationships and raising families are a team effort and it takes a LOT of effort from both parties.
A relationship man /women is like your partner at work, you work daily 8 hrs together or greater and with the right one. The pair of you will always get the good jobs or the ones that take skill to finish. Same as Marriage, If you can't work together and do your expected part your marriage does not meet his or hers expected goal. Then that problem just grows as a problem grows with your employee partner slacking off at work.
@@thomaspepper2201 Exactly. But unlike a coworker relationship you also have love and commitment. So there are times where there’s an imbalance and one person has to put in more work than the other due to various reasons like health issues, job loss, etc.
@@mamadoom9724 I've always needed the answer of if your spouse makes the choise of not taking care of ther phyisical health, drink to much, eating the wrong foods, basicly tanking their health and body image, You have ZERO control of that. Then there self esteme is lost, there grumpy, no sex, no fun as the past from things you did as young lovers. Basicly because of this choice from them ,now you work load has changed , you lost your fun, there angry. This is were the commitment thing comes into play. They are commited aswell to you and they fail there commit to you. You can't fix them, YOUR BEING HURT BY THEM, Whats the need to keep the relationship or job. As an employer you lose your job due to inability to preform, so how is leaving a relation ship any different THEY HAVE FAILED AT THERE COMMITMENT AT THERE choosing. i WILL NOT LET MYSELFD BE HURT ?
@@keijimorita1849 It is exhausting sometimes but I’d say it’s worth the effort. Two people working together as a couple can accomplish a lot. You can build assets quicker and it’s nice to have the security of knowing there’s someone who loves you. I spent a handful of years single and it felt kinda lonely, like there was always something missing. It’s nice to have someone you love to cuddle with at night.
If they allow themselves to be used, they will become used goods, and used goods do not fetch a high price. The trick is to be perpetually useful, perhaps indispensable, and not merely fit for one time use only.

You're just playing with language, not adding anything
Thank you for stating this fact. There’s too many women operating as wives without a ring for men, simply to remain in dead end girlfriend relationships for YEARS because some men don’t buy the cow when the milk is free.
The first part is true, but I don't know how a woman can be perpetually useful. After the first one dumps her, her value is damaged and there is nothing she can do about it.
I get it if you're looking at a relationship as business like "what do I get out of it?" But it seems to be that all happy & healthy relationships are naturally about loving and giving without wondering what you get in return. I was with someone who wanted to know what "my offer" was and now my boyfriend naturally sees what my offer is and is of much higher value than my ex.
Just because you don’t worry about what you have to “offer” in a relationship, doesn’t mean others aren’t nor should be a bad thing. Because there’s a difference between knowing what you want or looking for and settling for whatever is available. Nothing in life is entirely free as there’s always a cost. Be it your time, resources, attention & etc.
Orion in another episode explained how all relationships are a medium through which value is exchanged. In plain terms, they are transactional by nature. Our platonic friends, family and romantic partners etc. by default expect a mutually beneficial relationship otherwise they're going to feel used and resentful. It is an uncomfortable truth that many couples tend to overlook when everything is all rosey and smooth however, the transactional nature inherent in relationships become apparent when one party begins to feel shortchanged as a result of unmet expectations they have of the other party. In short, there's no such thing as unconditional love in romantic relationships.
@@KwekuTed sometimes one person can be disappointed by shortcomings but if you’re in a committed relationship you make the choice every day to stand by your partner through thick and thin. I’m madly in love with my husband but at the moment I’m feeling disappointed by his failed business venture and string of bad financial luck, but it doesn’t change anything. I love him and I committed to stand beside with him through the hard times.
@@berlincrystal2873 My question to you is, you say your current partner is higher value than your ex. What determines his higher perceived value to you? You are choosing your current partner and recognizing his higher value and that’s what has you stay with him. That means you are sizing people up based on what they can give you, even if what you’re getting is status or some other indirect benefit. We are all always making choices in life based on perceived value. Which in other words just means, what am I getting in return for my investment?
Exactly! No need to ask someone what they are looking for or who they are. They will surely SHOW you! And in my experience, it won’t take very long. Just get to know people. It’s not that complex. Asking me what I’m looking for would be a wasteful question. I, like I imagine many others don’t always know exactly. Until it hits us like a Mack truck. And there may be something or someone to come along that I didn’t know I was “looking” for 👀. So answering the question could cause you to miss something 😊 you don’t know what you don’t know. I’d also add for me personally, I’m not looking for anything. But rather I’m continually working on being the best version of myself and living a life that makes me happy.
@@imjaimja I agree with you but both can be true. I think the guy in the video was more emphasizing that women should also make meaningful deposits into the relationship and I agree. Every man doesn’t have to be a CEO to have a vision. Allow a man to pursue and take care of course but it doesn’t mean that the woman shouldn’t co-create with him. A woman can help cultivate the relationship without depleting herself.
I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I normally agree with OT... but this sounds like "let's see where this will go" dating tactic. Discernment doesn't work if women date up only to become options or date down and elevate the down man to up and now he has options.
Women only date for benefit and attraction. If you have neither you get no woman. Now a woman may choose a broke man but she will leave when better option come. Same as a man he will leave when better options come. The difference is we a mem are penalized to the letter of the law while women are free to leave with no consequence. It's always lets see how this goes otherwise we'd be bound and honor the commitments we make, why do you oppose this
Maybe the best breakdown i have come across concerning the "commercial" nature of male-female relationships and "stock value" on the sexual marketplace. Honors.
The problem is that if we let ourselves be used physically we release chemicals that bond us with a person and I can’t stop those chemicals, then, once we’ve bonded, things change abd that’s where the fun starts feeling like pressure
now we understand why sex must have NEVER preceeded marriage when people said marriage protected women, they were right time to marry christian men I guess
I appreciate the advice. It definitely makes sense. The only stumping point is that if women's value go down the higher her body count, why should we keep adding to that count without proof of commitment/aka marriage? How can you get around this catch 22?
He goes over this in some other videos, of women having to be the “sluttiest version of themselves.” Means they can start out with handholding or making out or something more tame when first entering the dating market when young, and slowly working their way up for each subsequent guy. It’s definitely a balancing act, give enough to be considered, but don’t give everything in case it doesn’t work out. Also can be useful by making the man’s life easier, however that might be, whether cooking/cleaning/sex/therapy. Be someone he wants to keep in his life.
@@user-vx1up7ty7zwhy is the sentiment that a woman has to keep herself in a man’s life but not vice versa? What is a man doing to keep a woman in his life?
@@nstar1372 Because he's talking to women when he says that? He has plenty more videos geared towards how men can improve themselves as quality partners and attract/keep quality women
You can't. The only way you win is by betting on a future winner in your younger years like your mother and grandmother did. If he's already a winner, you're probably sharing him and being "used". You can always settle for a loser and he'll always commit but that's an L for you because you wouldn't respect him (and rightfully so).
There's nothing behind those eyes too 🤣 I would bet he deletes all comments that disagree with him and that get a lot of likes, just so that his content looks more accepted by the majority :DD
Yeah I don't trust him, having spent 2 years with a narc, there's too much of a similarity. Haven't seen enough of his content, but what I have seen I've yet to see any empathy. Hos whole approach is transactional however, the trademark way a narc operates.

Excellent advice to both men and women!! Each one of us gets used by the other gender, like by our work superiors or buyers. Exercising discretion, genuinely putting your best efforts and playing your cards well are the only way to go about securing the outcome desired. Learning by failure is the only way to grow. As the old adage goes, a princess has to kiss a lot of frogs to find the true prince! And just to add, it starts with knowing yourself very well and having reasonable boundaries. There is no other easy way for most people who are not gifted to be famous or gorgeous. But then, fame is a double edged sword and requires great self awareness and supreme confidence. Most people may find it uncomfortable to be shallow to work on being just famous or ornamental.
His statement that you need to have sex before you can get a guy to have a relationship with you is absolutely false. However the principle that you must contribute value to someone’s life if you want them to desire you, is absolutely true. Be deeply valuable in a man’s life, contribute your femininity and positivity and support to him. Stick to your standards, whatever they are, and find a man who values that.
In principle, you’re correct, but I will say that for a man that highly values sexual compatibility and enthusiasm, indulging in that arena is apart of being of value. Sex is a form of intimate communication, after all.
He never made that statement. You assumed it and so many women in these comments are doing the same. Basically just telling on themselves. Your main point is correct.
So much about jobs, not all guys are super rich so why should females "work" for the average man? It's not about work. It's about respect for men. Plain and simple.
Give your daughter that advice. I hope you do that. Live what you preach. 😂 And your daughter gets used. We have three daughters. All of them in relationships with good men. Always told them to meet his family first & let us meet them too. If they are good, proceed with courtship & intimacy. There is less likelihood to be used when family’s involved. Our daughters have never been “ornamental”or alone. Quite the opposite. Very popular. They’ve dated different types under our supervision. And we have made friends with families. That’s how we do it in our circles. Keep the status of our daughters & family high. Our girls have always demanded respect & friendship first. Only mixing with good families. Your advice will let women get used without leading to marriage. It’s unsophisticated & lacks any sense of sensibility. Women have to question whether this is a good stable man from a good family or not. If they lay out this demand before intimacy, they get the chance to really see if it’s a good match or not. Know a man’s friends & family first. Spend a vacation together with his family & then go to bed. Unless it’s of course only for pleasure. If you’re a non stable woman from a traumatic family. Make sure to work on your self first. When you’re healed, you’ll know who to look for & don’t lower your standards of personality, but lower your standards of physical appearance.
Amen. This man clearly is not getting what he wants from women and is now being the devil telling women to give men what they want in exchange for a relationship. Ladies, please don't take his advice. It will ruin you. A real man will not take advantage of you. Only meet with men who are ready for marriage and that speak of the future on the first date. Men who are ready for commitment and responsibility will say they want to get married, they want to have children and they want ALL THIS in the near future! Make it easier for you. Don't interact or meet with any man who doesn't clearly showcase their seriousness. If you find dates on apps, only match with men who specifically look for long term partners. It will narrow down your choices. It's like shopping... if you're looking for yellow pants, why then look at red ones. Don't waste your time on devils. Look for god.
It is true that some people lie about their intentions. Getting to know them and spending enough time with them will tell you whether they are genuine people. It might take some time and some mistakes to realize what types of people only want to use you. You want to be with someone who loves you and compromises with you, not uses you. It hurts to feel used, don’t allow it.
I am a 52 yr old single female who just started to go back out in the dating world after 19 yrs. I really appreciate Orion's honesty, explanations and laying the truth out in each podcast. This one is golden!
If I may, you seem honest and open, and seeing you comment here makes me happy. Believe me when I say, if you take this channel's advice and apply it in earnest, you have the pick of the litter in men out there!
I think the terminology may be misleading. In your analogy, you say your boss and customer need to be allowed to “use” you. To me that term implies giving something for nothing in return. My boss is not using me because I am being compensated for the service I am providing. I am absolutely available to be UTILIZED for a compensation of equal value I have agreed to. I am not available to be used and taken advantage of. Word choice can make a huge difference in the way a message like this is received, especially to women, but I suspect you know this. Wording likely intentional, maybe this comment is directed more towards the audience than the creator.
*"My boss is not using me because I am being compensated for the service I am providing. I am absolutely available to be UTILIZED for a compensation of equal value I have agreed to. I am not available to be used and taken advantage of."* Spot on 🎯👏👏👏🎯
You are correct, I believe! Been around the block around the block and back again,you’re right! Doesn’t matter how old you are and how much you like them. If they’re in the mood to get it out there they will until they don’t.
This isn’t for Christian’s. This is for worldly people. And it’s terrible advice at that. In these videos he some good points and a few good ideas. But most his advice is designed to make the woman a worthless doormat. Please stick to your old-fashioned and biblical principles. Find Christian dating advice. Because advice from this guy is the furthest thing and will leave you lonely and miserable. I am sure.
We just don't follow his advise because is only leading women for failure. What do I gain from losing my virginity to someone who isn't my husband? Just hear break.
Sorry Doc, have to disagree on this. A woman that let herself to be used outside of a commited relationship will be viewed as a used good, and lower her value in the sexual market place. To use your corporate analogy, if an employee lets himself to be used without having backed by strong labour laws and union, the employee will be used and squeezed without getting the appropriate compensation.
This goes along with Dr Taraban's advice to be the nastiest sluttiest version of yourself for the man you want a relationship with. There is nothing BUT risk out there if you are dating. If you have used proper discernment to select a candidate, why not throw all you can at it. To do otherwise is setting yourself up for failure or to be alone. The one who overpays, gets the job.
In a world where 80% of divorces are filed by women (90% if they're higher educated) and women win the vast majority of those divorces, I think it's safe to say that most men don't behave that way. Usually they are the victim of that. The only men that behave that way are the "top" 5% of men that have insane amount of options. He has other videos about the issues with dating those men. This is partially where discernment comes in. The big problem is, most women gravitate to those "top 5%" men (which is the main reason why those men behave that way). Hence this fear of "being used". Also, this risk can be reduced by interweaving herself into the other person's life (in a useful, non-destructive way) which would make it harder to (imagine) breaking up with her.

I almost sent this video link to my sister, my only issue is that I feel like you're setting wonan up for failure. In that, if men gate keep commitment and woman gatekeep sex It doesn't benefit the woman to give sex without the commitment first. That example of the CEO and your boss decides to give you or not, how the cat decides the milk. I'm not so sure this advice is infact in the benefit of the females cos if she gave them all they want and allowed herself to be "used" as you put it, only sets her up for failure. There are relationship coaches that preach the opposite, it must be a win win situation This that you speak about, not balanced at all
The "used up" women in societies are called the whores and prostitutes who are ran through, nobody wants them. That's where this advice is leading the women who listen to you, into the arms of men to be easily used up and discarded. You don't even advice them to exercise their power to get the outcome they want as a win win cos you clearly think of that as "entitled" Please stick to topics for men, by men cos this is all this nonsense is.
@@Damesanglante let's use a different word. Men get to decide whether they give you commitment or not (they propose) Women decide whether they give you sex or not (the vagina is on her body) So, is it not entitlement what this man is saying? That the man is like the CEO or boss you must impress so give away all your power to him and expect for the best? Nah, women who hold off intimacy until exclusivity are all doing well in life, this man is just a clueless prick cos if you let them use you up, they won't infact respect you... You are immediately grouped under floozies What do you call a person who gives it up on the first date? Exactly, this advice is damaging and very patriarchal
9:45 Women being used are hurt very badly - so, NOT not so much. Rape, incest, the children born from these that they have to raise. Or just having children and him skipping out and now they have to do everything, maybe he’ll pay child support but probably not. This In addition to the ego slam behind all of this. There’s domestic abuse and psychological abuse that takes decades to recover. Please talk to a woman before uploading. This is irresponsible given you have a doctorate degree.
From one Andrew H to another- dead on mate. Women are more sexual than men. Our drives express themselves differently but they spend MUCH more time thinking of, preparing for, and having sex across the board. One of the most successful gaslighting campaigns of all time was telling men that we are the drivers of sex, and are somehow inherently degraded as a result.
I love your social analytics just as much as your comparisons to other aspects of life. It really helps drive the point and also provides a reference to topics. Thanks!
A point of disagreement. Although many, if not most, average men have lower standards, all high value men hold higher standards and would not be willing to enter a long-term relationship with someone who has a high body count. You don't have to have sex to be used.
Use me, Baby. My BF and I have an understanding. I’m very generous and so is he, in some ways the same and in other ways different. I’m not a 10 but he loves the way I look and he loves my body. He’s not wealthy but he makes me feel taken care of. He and I know these rules intuitively. I’m very interested in listening to more of this guy mainly for the two sons I’m raising. I don’t need them to be CEOs but I want them to have options and I want their eyes wide open to the realities of dating. I’ll be listening more!
There are still pockets of men and women who believe marriage ought to preceed sex... it would be a lot simpler if that was the norm still, but it isn't.
I think Orion is right about the practical acceptance of physical relationships happening before committment/marriage. I also think this will eventually trend back towards abstinance until marriage. Might take a couple decades but nothing that is readily available is valuable. At some point men and women will not want to accept their intimacy should be cheaply obtained.
I hope you're right, but "abstinence until marriage" absolutely requires a woman to be a virgin. No self-respecting man wants to be treated [worse] than the last guy.
@@andyfranks1575 Yeah. I do think there is a middle point though, woman with low single digit body count and a month or two of dating/courtship before sex.
Agree and vice versa, if someone's addicted to physical intimacy then it speaks volumes about their own character and no self-respecting person sleeps around as if they have no respect for themselves or for others, it's easy to grasp why that's the case imao so does it need any further explanation? I think not. @@andyfranks1575

false premise . if i am being used ? I cannot be giving. I choose to give . Others , some ---see this exactly for the gift which it is . Would they want to be deprived of that aspect of me ? No. I get your point about the " transactional nature " of relationships now . Devoid of spiritual resonance . My dating pool has always been tiny. I choose to allie only with people who inspire that in me .
Is this directed to women who are "after" a very wealthy man? Is that what you consider a high value man? Otherwise...why not just tell women to stay away from players unless they want to play? Unless they are players themselves (for real)? The suggestion that women must put out sexually longer and even if it feels like "work" is absurd. That's the epitome of a rather meaningless and unfun relationship. The sex needs to be playful, fun and hot for both. Otherwise, what's the point? I certainly have never dated a guy and upfront asked "what is it you're looking for in this relationship?" Then again I've never been on dating apps and I've found plenty of interesting guys to be in relationships (and usually when I'm not looking). I think the most important thing is to be aware of pretty instant chemistry with a guy. Go slow, get to know him. You could be (and I'd say this is for women or men) when chemistry is that strong it's highly likely that unresolved family of origin dynamics are involved. Why not tell women to be smart, to know themselves and get to know any given man?
A woman can interview without being used. That's what a relationship should be. Prove to me you have what I need. That my life would be better with you. They just don't get this. Instead, they put out bc feminism told them that is their worth.
Maybe I'm missing the poinr, or maybe it's just that I am from a different generation, Men don't value; used. Especially not, well used. However, as I stated before, I am missing the point, or younger generations a men have a totally different value system.
Ladies, this is insane advice. Do not allow yourselves to be used. You deserve better. Hold out for a good and decent man who shares your values and genuinely loves you for your character. It's so sad that people are being mislead by terrible dating advice on the internet. Previous generations knew the value of love, sex and intimacy. Todays culture has downgraded it to the level of the dog. So sad and tragic.
This definitely is the channel I've run into that most subtly, cleverly and insidiously promotes absolute hedonic utilitarianism with relish and gusto, while completely undermining the necessary metaphysical basis needed for most men and women to find life meaningful and worth pursuing. The metaphysical assumptions of this "thinker" seems to be that everything can and should be optimized by utility in the alleged "sexual marketplace." One may wonder, however: since everyone is going to lose in the "sexual markeplace" at some point, what is the point? Why even play the videogame that this channel portrays as the nature of social reality? I've found the videos here to be compelling and attractive, which is what makes them so insidious. Be careful of dissolving the meaning you need to have the motivation to live life with too much "realism." Because unstated assumptions matter.
@@peteranon8455 It's a good way to get rejected by emotionalists who don't belong with rational and honest people. You want that. Just increase the vertical social mobility. Find your people! We have the internet today! Find groups that unite you by passion and IDEAS!
@@peteranon8455 If your truth does, in fact, make you a jerk, could you not accept that feedback? Especially if it's the same feedback a hundred times over. Instead of accepting it, you use that feedback to not be truthful.
Slight reframe in order to gain further perspective: many companies/bosses will see a worker so good at a particular role that the worker becomes viewed as indispensable ~ this can translate as un-promotable. I realize discernment comes into play here, curious if you would help round out this metaphor (ideally with advice on how to sense if/when this is the situation)?
@PsycHacks ... first time caller, long time listener. And usually I do just listen. I agree with everything you said in this video except your opening premise on female vetting. Once upon a time I was a handsome teenager in Canadian (read: feminist) public school back in the 1980s. I was a Christian and would never "dishonour" a girl by playing around. My values included The Golden Rule and my spiritual belief demanded no sex before marriage. I never had any female interest until I would put out in my twenties, at which time I became a Toy Boy, having given up on "immature" women my own age. My male friends all told me I was too serious for the girls. I had a great time with women in my twenties and thirties , but no serious marriage interest until I became a Passport Bro at the age of 34. (I brought home my wife and child and, within 7 months back in Canada, I find myself in a traumatic Child Protective Services custody battle because I was raising my 10 year old daughter in home-school to be a 1950s self-reliant girl suitable for a high value man in another 8 years' time. The hateful attitude I get from the women here and from the CPS make me sick to my stomach. My daughter was the most well-behaved, selfless, and conscientious kid in our farming community until she was taken to the city without my even being given a hearing before a judge back in October. ) So my problem with your opening premise comes from my experience: that women are turned off with the notion of a serious relationship right from the start at an early age. This is due to gynocratic culture and the education system. If a man wants to find purity and honour in a girl/woman with whom to raise a family, he is SOL. And if he voices this goal to a potential mate, he will die an incel until he changes his attitude to pump and dump the women because this is all they have been taught to expect from themselves. I see the difference in my 10-year-old daughter's expectations for herself, and the old biddy hatred directed at her. So I cannot accept your opening premise, though I find the rest of your information to be spot on. Until women raise their self-expectations, believe in themselves as complements to a man rather than competitors, and are willing to approach being the COO of a family the same way they are taught to approach the C-Suite for the tax-office, there is no hope in your premise, in my honest opinion. .
Only way a woman can find out if a guy is a quality guy or not is to ask men to be trusted, meaning their father or their brothers. Other than that is will be shear luck. That mean that they can't and should not sleep around....
There are more answers than "a long term relationship" when asking about what you want. "I want sex" "i just wanna have fun and see how i feel as we keep seeing each other"... If the girl is looking for that same thing too you wont be punished. Its not stupid to ask in fact id expect a psychologist to be in favor of direct and honest communication when it comes to relationships. "Its not mens responsability to be honest and transparent with you", id say yes it is, specially when it comes to relationships, and women as well. You can't expect all people to be responsible or to be told absolut everything but i dont see how honesty shouldn't be a responsibility for anyone in a relationship. I find surprising to see psychologist say to women that her job should be submissive "and be used" (even getting what you say what a bad choice of words). Maybe for the women who want to be in a relationship that is above their market value and are willing to sacrife their independence and to "not make any demands" but the average guy and gal setting in a relationship where it is expected for both people to have and make demands and be able to comunicate their needs and desires. I find manipulative how you advice women to allow themselves "to be used" instead of the advice a psychologist would actually give, that is to search for relationships where they will feel comfortable both making and accepting demands from their partner like functioning responsible adults. So yeah basically dont let anyone "use you" and be treated like a submissive employee, the healthy thing is to have apropiate expectations and search for a relationship where you talk and consent with your partner freely without submisive power imbalance.
Francisco, you're right about, "The healthy thing is to have appropriate expectations" But, sadly, way too many women do not have "appropriate expectations" these days when seeking a guy to have a long-term relationship with. Many women think they "deserve" that top 10% "high value man," when they don't (or are unwilling) to bring much to the table beyond their looks. And, many times, these types of girls aren't even all that attractive. They simply think they deserve that wealthy, attractive man, simply for being "who they are..."
@@Kritikanbringer it's an advice that recommends to be submissive and to get used instead of to be responsible when choosing partner. It's a very arrogant advice that prefers to shame and boss women over actually giving advice that good for men and women. He shouldn't advice women to get used to please some CEO he should tell them to learn to value the guys who aren't CEOs.
Why can't two things be true at the same time? People who "allow" themselves to be used are remiss but the exploiters are also bad people who should be scorned by society. This isn't a male vs. female thing it's a good person vs. bad person thing.
When committment stoped being a prerequisite for sex the argument of "exploitation" vanished. When modern women declare loudly that they have the right to sexual pleasure irrespective of commitment, then pure sex alone gets value.
Just saw Dating Doctor on Diary of a CEO. Checking out the videos. I have to disagree with the title as it’s not ‘being used’ if we both want the same thing. Everyone has to level up in the relationship for there to be one. However, caution should be used so that the relationship doesn’t become a game of performance with no genuine connection.
So then what are virgins supposed to do? Like I know a 30 year old virgin and she hasn't been with anyone just 1 boyfriend back in middle school and that doesn't count. She just never put herself out there and now she is lost in the modern dating game. She doesn't even have any of the dating apps and won't make a profile. What should she do?
Go to Church. Observe the men carefully. Smile and laugh when she is there. Learn to cook. When she has eased herself into being comfortable being in public around others, find a man who checks her MORAL boxes first and say "Hi". This is not hard, but like the rest of the real things in life it is tedious and that must be accepted.
@@hotlucky5622 It's the opposite where I live, most people who had arranged marriages I know are very attractive and they have such great jobs too so it's a total win. And it's not forced so if you don't like them when meeting for the first time, you can refuse the marriage
You just made me realize how happy I am as a traditional catholic with my marriage being based on the values of the encyclica casti cunubii. Happily married to my husband for 26 years with two adult children. We both were virgins with no boy- or girlfriend before. No contraceptives just simple Biologie to plan a family and always a good priest to confess and get a good advice round the corner. Assume if you look in a good Jewish communities your chances for a proper spouse might be higher as well. Ok some self discipline to follow but that trains for other problems and commitments in life aswell. So choose your values wisely because you will suffer their consequences.
Agreed. Actually if we went back to the religious and moral beliefs of a century ago, divorce rates would plummet. Marriages would increase and be happier than today.
A woman can get a man to commit without being sexually used. You dont have to be a 10 out of 10 either or an "ornament". You just have to have self respect. Giving it up easy is terrible advice! He'll lose interest fast. If he respects you will wait, and if your smart ladies you " give in" when commitment is made.
Many women in the U.S. want a high value man. Sure, you can make a man wait , but not typically in the case of a high value man who, by definition, has a lot of sexual market optionality. But yes, a woman can often get a man she doesn’t really want to wait. That’s the definition of the friend zone; men who are waiting for acceptance of a woman who isn’t particularly interested in him.
"It's not their job to be honest with you". Right. Because trust is irrelevant in a relationship. Trust that you can't trust them because it's not their "job" to speak the truth.
Given the state of modern courtship, in which sex precedes commitment, many women are concerned about "being used" in the dating process. Unfortunately, there is no way around this. Just like most men have to expose themselves to potentially being used for their resources to secure a relationship, most women have to allow themselves to run the risk of being used sexually to get the same. The alternative to being used is being ornamental, which (for better or worse) is not a viable option for most women. That said, in this episode, I discuss how to reduce the likelihood of poor dating outcomes for women in light of this reality.

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

@@pamelah9205they do they’re just buried in the other comments about the experiences of 99% of people
The premise is valid to a point. My experience is that both genders are looking for someone they can relate to… that they connect with. Sex follows when there’s a nourishing, mature, human understanding. All this talk is not as relevant when there’s a connection. I think what’s important is for people to have the inner security and personality skills to know how to relate. Another thing: I think what we all really want is NOURISHMENT. We have many short term relationships, so we need to know how to enjoy the nourishment of being with each other. Unfortunately, there really are toxic and emotionally undeveloped people out there who skew the conversation. Date, Enjoy, and consider what a long term relationship would be. With God’s blessing you will find your love.
I suspect most women will ignore this advice.
Good advice consists of ugly truths. They usually prefer "their truth".

The second he said women can enhance their chance of becoming ceo “by showing up and doing your fucken job” I lost it 😂 I love how this channel isn’t afraid to be blunt. Even though these harsh truths are painful the only way to truly live harmoniously as male and female is to have this level of understanding for each other.

I wish I knew this information in my prime time. Instead I heard all the BS from the women around me who had no clue, including my mother. Now in my 50s and divorced it’s kind of late for me. I do share this valuable info with any women who will listen. Thank you doc!!! Another great video.
What Orion said is common sense. How can women have so little common sense?
Work on being healthy and kind, and go to places where you can meet new people and you'll earn your chance. It is always possible, just harder.
It isn't too late for you. That's BS too.
I’m sure you wouldn’t have listened to this info even if you got it in your prime.
Feminism has done a great job at manipulating women, especially younger ones.
not too late. you look attractive in your pic. go out and dont be afraid to ask a guy out, its a huge compliment. men are not complicated- Secks, food, and lack of drama. thats it. women want newness drama, uberstimulation. Men just want stability, Good Luck
I have zero interest in a woman who rushes to make sex a central part of what is meant to be a long term relationship. Getting to know her first really helps men with their discernment too.

Good input, thanks.
Feel free to elaborate on how your comment relates to his point in the video. I am trying to piece it together myself, and might be assuming you mean different than you do.
@freighttrain7143 it's been several months ago. But here is my reply given what I remember.
The video makes sex the key point to whether or not a relationship is successful and says that this sex should occur quickly and early.
I agree sex is a key element to the success of a relationship but that if you want relationships that are successful in terms of finding a woman whom you build a life with, in whom a long term relationship is the goal then quick and early sex may not be healthy.
Sex can blind a man to things that are red flags in women. It keeps us from getting to know who she is as deeply, asking questions that develop personal connection and friendship rather than only sexual desire and lust.
If a man dives into sex so quickly it's harder to then circle back to learn and grow with her in areas not sexual. I don't think it has to take years or anything but a man can blind himself to a bad woman for far too long if there is early sex. Figure out if she is even worth your effort first before you blind and limit yourself with sex as the core part of the relationship.

The issue here is that women think they ARE ALREADY the CEO of the company auditioning men for their personal assistant job, without realizing, or far too late, that, in fact, they are the candidate to the men they want...
You're right that women feel that they are already the CEO. Given the vast number of simps applying, women are right. More women than men are getting what they want in this marketplace.
Women are the CEOs already to the men they don't want, and the humble employees to the men they do want.

So what? Sift the sand, collect the gold.
Yes, as do men. We are all valued for the “use” we provide.
The most important thing is how someone makes us feel. Which is very personal. Think of your past, what do you remember better, a list of things others did for/with you, or how you *felt* at these times? Which is the most vivid? The feelings of course. The vibes. Have you ever had vivid memories of days where you did nothing, but felt happy and content? I'm sure you have. Things are simpler than that. There are people who speak to our core. It's not enough to just have resources or beauty. No need to work hard to win others over. Some people just get each other, feel at ease with each other and get giddy feelings around each other. it just happens.

The saddest thing about it is that his title is putting it very simplistic and as a person who witnessed women acting bizarre, especially in the dating scene. I can definitely say for sure that unless you've been living under a rock 🪨 women have been doing this since the dawn of time. Depsite he made a bold title for the video. What he is saying is essentially nothing new!
I've have a gut feeling his advice won't be taking seriously.
I like how your videos are dating advice for women and workplace advice for men combined in one message.
I don’t know if calling it “being used” is the right term. It emphasizes passivity. I think the idea is to be aware that some relationships may lead nowhere. However, if you start to feel exploited, have the courage to leave such a person.
In essence, my approach is a “healthy” egoism. In relationships I try to prioritize both them and me. Because if you are too self-centered, it’s “using” another person. And if you are too selfless, you may end up “being used” and not able to protect yourself. One should love both others and themselves to be able to build a fulfilling relationship.
exactly. he is giving terrible advice. i wrote a rant above breaking his points down. but doubt anyone will see it.
@zenastronomy Agreed. His advice is terrible.
@zenastronomyI would like to see it
I completely disagree that women have to allow themselves to be used sexually if they want a man. I do agree that everyone is required to demonstrate value if they wish to be chosen by a potential partner. As a woman, I take a risk by opening my heart, expressing desire and respect for a man, letting him know I’m interested, listening to him, being nurturing. Providing companionship and things he can’t get from other men who are always competing with him or sizing him up. I’m different because I accept and appreciate him. Yet he could reject me even after all that. This is the way in which women must risk being used, not by spreading our legs. I preserve my value by not having sex with men who have not committed to me. And I am able to do this because I get interested in average, good men instead of obsessing over the Uber-attractive narcissistic men at the top 1%. Those men are never kind anyway, who wants ‘em. This is how I preserve my value, take risks to find love, and recognize high quality men that others may overlook.
Are you a virgin and will you become exclusive/marry a man without having sex with him first?
This. As a man reading this warms my heart a little. Maybe we're not doomed after all, but I find it difficult to stumble across women with your mentality.
"Uber-attractive narcissistic men".
They're not narcissitic, they just don't see you at their level.
Also your choice (if true, because i suspect it's not) means you will have to eliminate and be eliminated by a lot of men.
It's a sad reality that people with options pursue the best options available to them.
Yes if you are high value you can definitely do this. If you are an 8 you can do this with an 8 guy, although a 6 may be safer. 😅

The worst advice I ever got in dating was to hold off on sex for three months. Denying his needs, not to mention MINE, felt counterintuitive! Every cell in my body railed against that notion. If sleeping with a guy “too soon”means he looks upon me less fondly, I don’t want that one.
A point of clarification, while sex before commitment is the modern norm. It is not what sets a women apart from her competition. A helpful and supportive women is the role when you are auditioning to be a wife to a highly successful man.
but where I live everyone is like that 😂
If a woman is not forthright with sex then she won’t get a chance to be supportive and helpful. It’s got to be both.
Women and men in long term relationships both feel like slaves. As a woman I work hard to look nice and keep the fridge stocked, pay my share of the bills, take care of the kids, weed the garden, keep up on laundry etc. There are times I feel burnt out and feel like a slave to my family. But the thing is my husband feels the same way. He has to pay his part of the bills, drive the kids around, mow the lawn, make home repairs etc. He often feels like a slave as well. It’s all about effort, no matter how tired we are we’ve just got to keep working as a team and picking up the slack where the other leaves off. Relationships and raising families are a team effort and it takes a LOT of effort from both parties.
A relationship man /women is like your partner at work, you work daily 8 hrs together or greater and with the right one. The pair of you will always get the good jobs or the ones that take skill to finish. Same as Marriage, If you can't work together and do your expected part your marriage does not meet his or hers expected goal. Then that problem just grows as a problem grows with your employee partner slacking off at work.
@@thomaspepper2201 Exactly. But unlike a coworker relationship you also have love and commitment. So there are times where there’s an imbalance and one person has to put in more work than the other due to various reasons like health issues, job loss, etc.
@@mamadoom9724 I've always needed the answer of if your spouse makes the choise of not taking care of ther phyisical health, drink to much, eating the wrong foods, basicly tanking their health and body image, You have ZERO control of that. Then there self esteme is lost, there grumpy, no sex, no fun as the past from things you did as young lovers. Basicly because of this choice from them ,now you work load has changed , you lost your fun, there angry. This is were the commitment thing comes into play. They are commited aswell to you and they fail there commit to you. You can't fix them, YOUR BEING HURT BY THEM, Whats the need to keep the relationship or job. As an employer you lose your job due to inability to preform, so how is leaving a relation ship any different THEY HAVE FAILED AT THERE COMMITMENT AT THERE choosing. i WILL NOT LET MYSELFD BE HURT ?
Sounds fair but exhausting!
@@keijimorita1849 It is exhausting sometimes but I’d say it’s worth the effort. Two people working together as a couple can accomplish a lot. You can build assets quicker and it’s nice to have the security of knowing there’s someone who loves you. I spent a handful of years single and it felt kinda lonely, like there was always something missing. It’s nice to have someone you love to cuddle with at night.
If they allow themselves to be used, they will become used goods, and used goods do not fetch a high price. The trick is to be perpetually useful, perhaps indispensable, and not merely fit for one time use only.
You're just playing with language, not adding anything
Thank you for stating this fact. There’s too many women operating as wives without a ring for men, simply to remain in dead end girlfriend relationships for YEARS because some men don’t buy the cow when the milk is free.
The first part is true, but I don't know how a woman can be perpetually useful. After the first one dumps her, her value is damaged and there is nothing she can do about it.
@KennethFabritiushe says for women to use their discernment to pick the right person who wants to commit. I.e. avoid Tyrone and Chad.
@@SvenDettman this is not well thought out... Every woman will be used. Being useful is about more than sexual intimacy
I get it if you're looking at a relationship as business like "what do I get out of it?" But it seems to be that all happy & healthy relationships are naturally about loving and giving without wondering what you get in return. I was with someone who wanted to know what "my offer" was and now my boyfriend naturally sees what my offer is and is of much higher value than my ex.
Just because you don’t worry about what you have to “offer” in a relationship, doesn’t mean others aren’t nor should be a bad thing. Because there’s a difference between knowing what you want or looking for and settling for whatever is available. Nothing in life is entirely free as there’s always a cost. Be it your time, resources, attention & etc.
Orion in another episode explained how all relationships are a medium through which value is exchanged. In plain terms, they are transactional by nature. Our platonic friends, family and romantic partners etc. by default expect a mutually beneficial relationship otherwise they're going to feel used and resentful.
It is an uncomfortable truth that many couples tend to overlook when everything is all rosey and smooth however, the transactional nature inherent in relationships become apparent when one party begins to feel shortchanged as a result of unmet expectations they have of the other party. In short, there's no such thing as unconditional love in romantic relationships.
@@KwekuTed sometimes one person can be disappointed by shortcomings but if you’re in a committed relationship you make the choice every day to stand by your partner through thick and thin. I’m madly in love with my husband but at the moment I’m feeling disappointed by his failed business venture and string of bad financial luck, but it doesn’t change anything. I love him and I committed to stand beside with him through the hard times.
These dating advices nowadays suck. You can’t distinguish if they’re talking about business or genuine human connection 😅
@@berlincrystal2873 My question to you is, you say your current partner is higher value than your ex. What determines his higher perceived value to you? You are choosing your current partner and recognizing his higher value and that’s what has you stay with him. That means you are sizing people up based on what they can give you, even if what you’re getting is status or some other indirect benefit. We are all always making choices in life based on perceived value. Which in other words just means, what am I getting in return for my investment?
Exactly! No need to ask someone what they are looking for or who they are. They will surely SHOW you! And in my experience, it won’t take very long. Just get to know people. It’s not that complex. Asking me what I’m looking for would be a wasteful question. I, like I imagine many others don’t always know exactly. Until it hits us like a Mack truck. And there may be something or someone to come along that I didn’t know I was “looking” for 👀. So answering the question could cause you to miss something 😊 you don’t know what you don’t know. I’d also add for me personally, I’m not looking for anything. But rather I’m continually working on being the best version of myself and living a life that makes me happy.
I dig it…and I’m always here for that one perfectly timed and emphasized F bomb lol
@@imjaimja I agree with you but both can be true. I think the guy in the video was more emphasizing that women should also make meaningful deposits into the relationship and I agree. Every man doesn’t have to be a CEO to have a vision. Allow a man to pursue and take care of course but it doesn’t mean that the woman shouldn’t co-create with him. A woman can help cultivate the relationship without depleting herself.
I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I normally agree with OT... but this sounds like "let's see where this will go" dating tactic. Discernment doesn't work if women date up only to become options or date down and elevate the down man to up and now he has options.
Women only date for benefit and attraction. If you have neither you get no woman. Now a woman may choose a broke man but she will leave when better option come. Same as a man he will leave when better options come. The difference is we a mem are penalized to the letter of the law while women are free to leave with no consequence. It's always lets see how this goes otherwise we'd be bound and honor the commitments we make, why do you oppose this
Maybe the best breakdown i have come across concerning the "commercial" nature of male-female relationships and "stock value" on the sexual marketplace. Honors.
The problem is that if we let ourselves be used physically we release chemicals that bond us with a person and I can’t stop those chemicals, then, once we’ve bonded, things change abd that’s where the fun starts feeling like pressure
this is a really good point, we are all human, and therefore mammals. We can’t help what our body does to us.
now we understand why sex must have NEVER preceeded marriage
when people said marriage protected women, they were right
time to marry christian men I guess
I was thinking exactly the same. Thank you 💕 for your comment.
Thanks
I appreciate the advice. It definitely makes sense. The only stumping point is that if women's value go down the higher her body count, why should we keep adding to that count without proof of commitment/aka marriage? How can you get around this catch 22?
Accept the guys that give you the "ick". They mean it.
He goes over this in some other videos, of women having to be the “sluttiest version of themselves.” Means they can start out with handholding or making out or something more tame when first entering the dating market when young, and slowly working their way up for each subsequent guy.
It’s definitely a balancing act, give enough to be considered, but don’t give everything in case it doesn’t work out. Also can be useful by making the man’s life easier, however that might be, whether cooking/cleaning/sex/therapy. Be someone he wants to keep in his life.

You can't. The only way you win is by betting on a future winner in your younger years like your mother and grandmother did. If he's already a winner, you're probably sharing him and being "used". You can always settle for a loser and he'll always commit but that's an L for you because you wouldn't respect him (and rightfully so).
Life is all about win-win. If I’m being used and losing all around I won’t be sticking around.

Excellent advice to both men and women!! Each one of us gets used by the other gender, like by our work superiors or buyers. Exercising discretion, genuinely putting your best efforts and playing your cards well are the only way to go about securing the outcome desired. Learning by failure is the only way to grow. As the old adage goes, a princess has to kiss a lot of frogs to find the true prince! And just to add, it starts with knowing yourself very well and having reasonable boundaries. There is no other easy way for most people who are not gifted to be famous or gorgeous. But then, fame is a double edged sword and requires great self awareness and supreme confidence. Most people may find it uncomfortable to be shallow to work on being just famous or ornamental.
His statement that you need to have sex before you can get a guy to have a relationship with you is absolutely false. However the principle that you must contribute value to someone’s life if you want them to desire you, is absolutely true. Be deeply valuable in a man’s life, contribute your femininity and positivity and support to him. Stick to your standards, whatever they are, and find a man who values that.
That's why he said use discernment.
In principle, you’re correct, but I will say that for a man that highly values sexual compatibility and enthusiasm, indulging in that arena is apart of being of value. Sex is a form of intimate communication, after all.
He never made that statement. You assumed it and so many women in these comments are doing the same. Basically just telling on themselves. Your main point is correct.
Exactly!
This is an incredible video. It really does answer women’s question of, “what are you looking for?”.
So much about jobs, not all guys are super rich so why should females "work" for the average man? It's not about work. It's about respect for men. Plain and simple.
Every video I watch from Orion brings me closer to buying his book. Well done.

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

I think the terminology may be misleading. In your analogy, you say your boss and customer need to be allowed to “use” you. To me that term implies giving something for nothing in return. My boss is not using me because I am being compensated for the service I am providing. I am absolutely available to be UTILIZED for a compensation of equal value I have agreed to. I am not available to be used and taken advantage of. Word choice can make a huge difference in the way a message like this is received, especially to women, but I suspect you know this. Wording likely intentional, maybe this comment is directed more towards the audience than the creator.

This isn’t for Christian’s. This is for worldly people. And it’s terrible advice at that. In these videos he some good points and a few good ideas.

Because advice from this guy is the furthest thing and will leave you lonely and miserable. I am sure.
We just don't follow his advise because is only leading women for failure. What do I gain from losing my virginity to someone who isn't my husband? Just hear break.
Sorry Doc, have to disagree on this. A woman that let herself to be used outside of a commited relationship will be viewed as a used good, and lower her value in the sexual market place.
To use your corporate analogy, if an employee lets himself to be used without having backed by strong labour laws and union, the employee will be used and squeezed without getting the appropriate compensation.
This goes along with Dr Taraban's advice to be the nastiest sluttiest version of yourself for the man you want a relationship with. There is nothing BUT risk out there if you are dating. If you have used proper discernment to select a candidate, why not throw all you can at it. To do otherwise is setting yourself up for failure or to be alone. The one who overpays, gets the job.

In a world where 80% of divorces are filed by women (90% if they're higher educated) and women win the vast majority of those divorces, I think it's safe to say that most men don't behave that way. Usually they are the victim of that. The only men that behave that way are the "top" 5% of men that have insane amount of options. He has other videos about the issues with dating those men. This is partially where discernment comes in. The big problem is, most women gravitate to those "top 5%" men (which is the main reason why those men behave that way). Hence this fear of "being used". Also, this risk can be reduced by interweaving herself into the other person's life (in a useful, non-destructive way) which would make it harder to (imagine) breaking up with her.

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

9:45 Women being used are hurt very badly - so, NOT not so much. Rape, incest, the children born from these that they have to raise. Or just having children and him skipping out and now they have to do everything, maybe he’ll pay child support but probably not. This In addition to the ego slam behind all of this. There’s domestic abuse and psychological abuse that takes decades to recover. Please talk to a woman before uploading. This is irresponsible given you have a doctorate degree.
These are the women with poor discernment. He clearly emphasized this in step 1.
Deadass
Only one point you missed here:
Men can be used sexually too.
Not all men want casual sex.
Many woman these days, do however want casual sex.
From one Andrew H to another- dead on mate. Women are more sexual than men. Our drives express themselves differently but they spend MUCH more time thinking of, preparing for, and having sex across the board. One of the most successful gaslighting campaigns of all time was telling men that we are the drivers of sex, and are somehow inherently degraded as a result.
I allowed myself to be used and was left behind alone, replaced and thrown away like a used sock.
I am so glad I am not in the relationship market.
I love your social analytics just as much as your comparisons to other aspects of life. It really helps drive the point and also provides a reference to topics. Thanks!
A point of disagreement. Although many, if not most, average men have lower standards, all high value men hold higher standards and would not be willing to enter a long-term relationship with someone who has a high body count. You don't have to have sex to be used.
Use me, Baby. My BF and I have an understanding. I’m very generous and so is he, in some ways the same and in other ways different. I’m not a 10 but he loves the way I look and he loves my body. He’s not wealthy but he makes me feel taken care of. He and I know these rules intuitively. I’m very interested in listening to more of this guy mainly for the two sons I’m raising. I don’t need them to be CEOs but I want them to have options and I want their eyes wide open to the realities of dating. I’ll be listening more!
There are still pockets of men and women who believe marriage ought to preceed sex... it would be a lot simpler if that was the norm still, but it isn't.
I think Orion is right about the practical acceptance of physical relationships happening before committment/marriage.
I also think this will eventually trend back towards abstinance until marriage. Might take a couple decades but nothing that is readily available is valuable. At some point men and women will not want to accept their intimacy should be cheaply obtained.
I hope you're right, but "abstinence until marriage" absolutely requires a woman to be a virgin. No self-respecting man wants to be treated [worse] than the last guy.
@@andyfranks1575 Yeah. I do think there is a middle point though, woman with low single digit body count and a month or two of dating/courtship before sex.
Agree and vice versa, if someone's addicted to physical intimacy then it speaks volumes about their own character and no self-respecting person sleeps around as if they have no respect for themselves or for others, it's easy to grasp why that's the case imao so does it need any further explanation?

Is this directed to women who are "after" a very wealthy man? Is that what you consider a high value man?
Otherwise...why not just tell women to stay away from players unless they want to play? Unless they are players themselves (for real)?
The suggestion that women must put out sexually longer and even if it feels like "work" is absurd. That's the epitome of a rather meaningless and unfun relationship. The sex needs to be playful, fun and hot for both. Otherwise, what's the point?
I certainly have never dated a guy and upfront asked "what is it you're looking for in this relationship?" Then again I've never been on dating apps and I've found plenty of interesting guys to be in relationships (and usually when I'm not looking). I think the most important thing is to be aware of pretty instant chemistry with a guy. Go slow, get to know him. You could be (and I'd say this is for women or men) when chemistry is that strong it's highly likely that unresolved family of origin dynamics are involved. Why not tell women to be smart, to know themselves and get to know any given man?
An amazing episode. What do we need to do to increase womans wisdom about it ? 😅
A woman can interview without being used. That's what a relationship should be. Prove to me you have what I need. That my life would be better with you. They just don't get this. Instead, they put out bc feminism told them that is their worth.

This definitely is the channel I've run into that most subtly, cleverly and insidiously promotes absolute hedonic utilitarianism with relish and gusto, while completely undermining the necessary metaphysical basis needed for most men and women to find life meaningful and worth pursuing. The metaphysical assumptions of this "thinker" seems to be that everything can and should be optimized by utility in the alleged "sexual marketplace." One may wonder, however: since everyone is going to lose in the "sexual markeplace" at some point, what is the point? Why even play the videogame that this channel portrays as the nature of social reality? I've found the videos here to be compelling and attractive, which is what makes them so insidious. Be careful of dissolving the meaning you need to have the motivation to live life with too much "realism." Because unstated assumptions matter.
The assumption is that there is no such thing as "metaphysics", only harsh reality.
1:06 - "There are guys out there who will NEVER give you the relationship outcome you would prefer, no matter what you do. Ever."
They know that but do you think they care…
The only valuable advice this whole video gave. The rest were total garbage.
« It’s not a man’s job to tell you the truth » .. it’s no one’s job to be truthful ever it’s just the right thing to do.
Nope. I've done it a hundred times and learned it's just a good way to get labeled a jerk.
@@peteranon8455 It's a good way to get rejected by emotionalists who don't belong with rational and honest people.
You want that.
Just increase the vertical social mobility. Find your people! We have the internet today! Find groups that unite you by passion and IDEAS!
@@peteranon8455 If your truth does, in fact, make you a jerk, could you not accept that feedback? Especially if it's the same feedback a hundred times over. Instead of accepting it, you use that feedback to not be truthful.
Slight reframe in order to gain further perspective: many companies/bosses will see a worker so good at a particular role that the worker becomes viewed as indispensable ~ this can translate as un-promotable. I realize discernment comes into play here, curious if you would help round out this metaphor (ideally with advice on how to sense if/when this is the situation)?
This is very true indeed - wanting to keep that CEO job for a long time is a challenge. How do you do that 😮
Smart women already know this. Question is: how many men are worth the trouble?
Smart women already know the answer.
@@fanfanthomas9688 smart men have sense of humor..
They do. But why change the subject?
Men that are smart spot narcissists.
Spot on. All that for what exactly?
@PsycHacks ... first time caller, long time listener. And usually I do just listen. I agree with everything you said in this video except your opening premise on female vetting. Once upon a time I was a handsome teenager in Canadian (read: feminist) public school back in the 1980s. I was a Christian and would never "dishonour" a girl by playing around. My values included The Golden Rule and my spiritual belief demanded no sex before marriage. I never had any female interest until I would put out in my twenties, at which time I became a Toy Boy, having given up on "immature" women my own age. My male friends all told me I was too serious for the girls. I had a great time with women in my twenties and thirties , but no serious marriage interest until I became a Passport Bro at the age of 34. (I brought home my wife and child and, within 7 months back in Canada, I find myself in a traumatic Child Protective Services custody battle because I was raising my 10 year old daughter in home-school to be a 1950s self-reliant girl suitable for a high value man in another 8 years' time. The hateful attitude I get from the women here and from the CPS make me sick to my stomach. My daughter was the most well-behaved, selfless, and conscientious kid in our farming community until she was taken to the city without my even being given a hearing before a judge back in October. ) So my problem with your opening premise comes from my experience: that women are turned off with the notion of a serious relationship right from the start at an early age. This is due to gynocratic culture and the education system. If a man wants to find purity and honour in a girl/woman with whom to raise a family, he is SOL. And if he voices this goal to a potential mate, he will die an incel until he changes his attitude to pump and dump the women because this is all they have been taught to expect from themselves. I see the difference in my 10-year-old daughter's expectations for herself, and the old biddy hatred directed at her. So I cannot accept your opening premise, though I find the rest of your information to be spot on. Until women raise their self-expectations, believe in themselves as complements to a man rather than competitors, and are willing to approach being the COO of a family the same way they are taught to approach the C-Suite for the tax-office, there is no hope in your premise, in my honest opinion. .
Only way a woman can find out if a guy is a quality guy or not is to ask men to be trusted, meaning their father or their brothers. Other than that is will be shear luck. That mean that they can't and should not sleep around....
There are more answers than "a long term relationship" when asking about what you want. "I want sex" "i just wanna have fun and see how i feel as we keep seeing each other"... If the girl is looking for that same thing too you wont be punished. Its not stupid to ask in fact id expect a psychologist to be in favor of direct and honest communication when it comes to relationships.
"Its not mens responsability to be honest and transparent with you", id say yes it is, specially when it comes to relationships, and women as well. You can't expect all people to be responsible or to be told absolut everything but i dont see how honesty shouldn't be a responsibility for anyone in a relationship.
I find surprising to see psychologist say to women that her job should be submissive "and be used" (even getting what you say what a bad choice of words). Maybe for the women who want to be in a relationship that is above their market value and are willing to sacrife their independence and to "not make any demands" but the average guy and gal setting in a relationship where it is expected for both people to have and make demands and be able to comunicate their needs and desires.
I find manipulative how you advice women to allow themselves "to be used" instead of the advice a psychologist would actually give, that is to search for relationships where they will feel comfortable both making and accepting demands from their partner like functioning responsible adults.
So yeah basically dont let anyone "use you" and be treated like a submissive employee, the healthy thing is to have apropiate expectations and search for a relationship where you talk and consent with your partner freely without submisive power imbalance.
Francisco, you're right about, "The healthy thing is to have appropriate expectations"
But, sadly, way too many women do not have "appropriate expectations" these days when seeking a guy to have a long-term relationship with. Many women think they "deserve" that top 10% "high value man," when they don't (or are unwilling) to bring much to the table beyond their looks. And, many times, these types of girls aren't even all that attractive. They simply think they deserve that wealthy, attractive man, simply for being "who they are..."
Just because you don't like the feelings you experience when listening to his advice, it doesn't mean that there is anything wronr with his advice!
@@Kritikanbringer it's an advice that recommends to be submissive and to get used instead of to be responsible when choosing partner. It's a very arrogant advice that prefers to shame and boss women over actually giving advice that good for men and women. He shouldn't advice women to get used to please some CEO he should tell them to learn to value the guys who aren't CEOs.
Why can't two things be true at the same time? People who "allow" themselves to be used are remiss but the exploiters are also bad people who should be scorned by society. This isn't a male vs. female thing it's a good person vs. bad person thing.
Most ppl are "bad" ppl
They will get what they want by hook or crook and the person who pays is the exploited
When committment stoped being a prerequisite for sex the argument of "exploitation" vanished. When modern women declare loudly that they have the right to sexual pleasure irrespective of commitment, then pure sex alone gets value.
Just saw Dating Doctor on Diary of a CEO. Checking out the videos. I have to disagree with the title as it’s not ‘being used’ if we both want the same thing. Everyone has to level up in the relationship for there to be one. However, caution should be used so that the relationship doesn’t become a game of performance with no genuine connection.
So then what are virgins supposed to do? Like I know a 30 year old virgin and she hasn't been with anyone just 1 boyfriend back in middle school and that doesn't count. She just never put herself out there and now she is lost in the modern dating game. She doesn't even have any of the dating apps and won't make a profile. What should she do?
Go to Church. Observe the men carefully. Smile and laugh when she is there. Learn to cook. When she has eased herself into being comfortable being in public around others, find a man who checks her MORAL boxes first and say "Hi". This is not hard, but like the rest of the real things in life it is tedious and that must be accepted.
Arranged marriage. That was the traditional solution.
Except that nowadays, the men& women that go through that route ain't the hottest of the block.
@@hotlucky5622 It's the opposite where I live, most people who had arranged marriages I know are very attractive and they have such great jobs too so it's a total win. And it's not forced so if you don't like them when meeting for the first time, you can refuse the marriage
I am a woman and approve your either useful or useless. I have a great advantage over most women "I listen when men speak"😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You just made me realize how happy I am as a traditional catholic with my marriage being based on the values of the encyclica casti cunubii.
Happily married to my husband for 26 years with two adult children. We both were virgins with no boy- or girlfriend before.
No contraceptives just simple Biologie to plan a family and always a good priest to confess and get a good advice round the corner.
Assume if you look in a good Jewish communities your chances for a proper spouse might be higher as well.
Ok some self discipline to follow but that trains for other problems and commitments in life aswell.
So choose your values wisely because you will suffer their consequences.
YES
The third option for those of us who trust in God is to be pure and trust that God will do the matchmaking for you.
Agreed. Actually if we went back to the religious and moral beliefs of a century ago, divorce rates would plummet. Marriages would increase and be happier than today.
@@donnajones7499 Which God?
You have opened my mind to another way of thinking and earned a sub as well. 😊
A woman can get a man to commit without being sexually used. You dont have to be a 10 out of 10 either or an "ornament". You just have to have self respect. Giving it up easy is terrible advice! He'll lose interest fast. If he respects you will wait, and if your smart ladies you " give in" when commitment is made.
Yup!
Many women in the U.S. want a high value man. Sure, you can make a man wait , but not typically in the case of a high value man who, by definition, has a lot of sexual market optionality. But yes, a woman can often get a man she doesn’t really want to wait. That’s the definition of the friend zone; men who are waiting for acceptance of a woman who isn’t particularly interested in him.
He doesn't think of women interest. Only of men interest of women opening their legs for them.
@@CarlWithACamera but in that case he will be serve the divorce he set himself up to for, no high quality wife will fall for this womanizer tactic.
"It's not their job to be honest with you". Right. Because trust is irrelevant in a relationship. Trust that you can't trust them because it's not their "job" to speak the truth.
One problem is that most women in corporate jobs _do_ get promoted without being extremely good at their job or exceeding expectations.
Is that a 'woke' thing?
The exemplary effort 😮😘😅😇💖
Only the angels is perfect 😮😢
Straight up truth. Listen, accept, thrive.
