  1. What an amazing post. Great assessment and beautifully articulated. It's that mix of truth with lies that is especially dangerous because it makes the lies or just toxic information more believable. In this video, for example, he tells the woman to think of the other person, but the extremely toxic part is that he also tells her to forget about herself. In this video, he basically just did his best to manipulate a woman into having sex with him. He has so much to learn, but he thinks he knows it all. And also because he is so well spoken, many people buy into the toxicity.

  2. ​@metsfanal Thats because he doesn't know so he can't truly help. The doc says stuff most of the time but never gives the "how" or the "why." There is no reasoning, and he says very generic things with no details for actual advice. In other words, the man isn't really saying anything.

  3. ​@marcusmcgraw3519 Bad way to go. Taking it personal is basically choosing to be in unnecessary pain, and gives an excuse not to try again and go for who you are interested in.

  4. Holding back something doesn't mean you are hurting your authenticity. Sometimes, you have to be able to read the room and understand what is appropriate at the moment and when something is appropriate. True authenticity requires that balance and makes you more civilized and mature and even more likable. To just NEVER hold back and ALWAYS let loose with no self-control no matter what is just going to make you a disrespectful wild animal that thinks of no one but themselves and as a result, no one wants to be around. So the truth is that the only healthy option is to be a balance of holder and sniffer. Because a 100% holder will not be themselves and never have any fun, and a 100% sniffer is inconsiderate of others and not kind at all.

  5. That issue that you had with those women being afraid to give up their "sexual liberation" was a difference in values that you had with them. You did not vet them properly or you ignored red flags. Either that, or that was just their excuse for leaving, and they really left because they lost attraction to you, because you stopped doing the things that made you attractive in the first place. Its pretty much guaranteed to be one of those two reasons. You cannot blame society. You have to take responsibility for your own choices so that you can learn to choose and do better next time. You blame society, then that means you have nothing to change, which means you'll keep getting the same results over and over again.

  6. That principle goes against healthy romantic relationships. A woman wants romantic love from her man, not just any kind of love that she can also get from her child. If you encourage her to accept any kind of love from her man like she does her child, she will lose romantic attraction to her man because she begins to see him as her child, and not her man. If a woman tells you to please listen for a bit without offering solutions, that means she acknowledges you as her MAN and she is only trying to help YOU help her feel heard, understood, and safe like her man should help her feel. A good mother will NEVER ask this of her child, but instead, will actually help her child feel heard, understood, and safe, because the mother is the leader and protector of the child. You see how the design works? This is showing love. So the original comment was right. The doc just doesn't understand women yet or how to properly show a woman love as the leader of the relationship.

  7. ​​ @Straga_Severa_ There's no guarantee he will stay because she gives up the s3x. So if he leaves because he wasn't truly into her, which happens A LOT in this world, and then she keeps following the docs advice and keeps giving up her milk to the next guy who might leave, now she potentially has all these men she's been with and according to the doc, her purity goes down which means she becomes less desirable. His advice to a woman is extremely contradictory. It's like saying 10+10=10. He excludes or ignores very real factors. His advice is catering to the temporary lust of the man, and it completely disregards the health of the woman. In other words, it's toxic advice that promotes misery.

  8. ​ @allanluis3696 She didn't agree. She said she did both. The doctor says to do one at a time. MOST women have relationships with men WHILE working or going to school. It happens literally all the time. Look around you. The doc is just unnecessarily ignoring reality and trying to make his own fantasy land where he feels more comfortable.

  9. Your experience is a great example of the type of person to avoid and how waiting to have sex can be beneficial to determine a person's character. If he was actually in love, he sure didn't understand how to show it and how to show self-control. He was like a child unable to control his need for candy. It's not manly or mature and will always be a turn off. He may have been successful with money, but that kind of success doesn't equal wisdom or authenticity. It's also possible that he just didn't care and wanted quick and easy sex and used "love" to try and manipulate you into giving him what he wanted. Either way, it was a major red flag in that it showed he had no self-control, and that definitely would have showed up a lot more in other toxic ways if you had continued with him.

  10. "What works to maintain won't work to attract." This statement of yours defies common sense. If you attract her from the beginning with who you are, you will UNNATTRACT her by not MAINTAINING who you are. So, in other words, if you stop maintaining the person you are from the beginning in which she had attraction for, you'll obviously lose her attraction. Also, you FINALLY are understanding how masculinity and femininity create romantic attraction. It's refreshing. Now what you DON'T understand yet is that these things are due to BEHAVIOR. NOT superficiality. The more feminine a man acts, the more he loses her attraction, but that can be turned around with a BEHAVIORAL adjustment. Its that easy. Also, you've spoken out against boundaries before which is why you are wrong so often. Well part of that "negotiation" is for a man to HAVE PROPER BOUNDARIES and maintain them. This makes him attractive. This takes self-reflection and humility. When you finally eventually talk about this, I'll believe you finally FULLY know what you're talking about. Because i can really see you learning and slowly changing your mindset, and it's so nice to see it happen.

  11. Ultimatums are a bad way to go. Its manipulation with the hopes that losing them will make you do what they want. Ultimatums come from a place of insecurity. Ultimatums mean they don't truly believe they deserve what they want. It also means somewhere deep down, she knows you aren't really interested, but she doesn't leave because she doesn't believe she deserves to have what she wants, so she tries to force things with an ultimatum. The men that get the ultimatums are usually the men that date women they have no romantic interest in. So its better to break up with her when you know you aren't truly interested. So she can be open to find someone that really wants her.

  12. Well his definition of self-respect means to fight back and engage in more problems and potentially get hurt in order to protect yourself. He thinks engaging in more stress and drama is the only way to show self-respect. His definition is wrong. This is why it's confusing. True self-respect means you walk away from those that are treating you bad. It means taking actions that lead to no stress and more peace. You don't give your time to those that refuse to be nice to you. You don't associate with them unless they agree to be kind. The doc doesn't understand how a person truly shows respect to themselves, which is why he is against it in many cases.

  13. Literally anybody who complains about their ex on a date is definitely NOT over their ex and isn't ready to date other people. Even if they have only anger for them, they still are not finished emotionally with that person. The best thing to do in that case is to tell them that they seem to have some stuff to work out emotionally, and get in touch after they've figured it out, but you don't want to be in the middle of that. If you continue with someone like that, they'll likely use you as a rebound, or they will disappear like that lady did. It's a recipe for pain to stay involved with people in that position.

  14. I'd say love means kindness, upbuilding, respect, discipline, calm, teaching, and honesty. All of this is necessary from both mothers and fathers. Holding back any of these things or doing the opposite of them is what creates trauma wounds that must be healed. Its really that simple. Irresponsibility of either parent can cause the trauma wounds you speak of. The main difference of mothers and fathers is really just about who leads the family and who the calm rock is and who the softer one to go to is. Also, you really shouldn't teach that there is some kind of negative aspect associated with failing, because thats teaching fear. That may be an insecurity or fear that you personally have. In reality, failure is simply a means to learn and adjust. Its important that we teach kids AND adults that we must give ourselves permission to be a beginner. This mindset takes the pressure off and allows us to focus 100% on learning and improving with no fear to get in the way. We teach our own values and beliefs and boundaries to our children, even if we don't realize it. It happens no matter what, so the most important thing to do is to humbly self-reflect, so we can make sure we have things right with ourselves before we go and teach things to our kids.

  15. "For whatever reason". How can you make a whole video on it and not know the reason? Because everything else you said here is common sense. I mean, the take is interesting, and I can see the sense in it, but it's really just repeating the problem in a different way. No solutions. Also, don't enable how this is a "difficult experience" for a man. That is promoting codependence. Sure, rejection isn't nice, but it's only difficult if you have the wrong perspective on it, which most of us do.

  16. True. He is trying to make himself feel better about paying for it by basically saying he is "above" everyone else. There would be no need for such a rationalization if he truly thought there was nothing wrong with it. And if any dude is spending 15 grand on a date, EVEN if its a super rich man, he is coming off as a desperate man that has no clue what he is doing and is setting himself up to be taken advantage of by a toxic woman.

  17. When it comes to money, you have a true abundance mentality. When it comes to women and your romantic life, you have a major scarcity mentality. I know this because in truth, you don't have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to date a woman you are attracted to. Thinking you do have to spend hundreds or thousands is a scarcity mentality, even for a billionaire. It also sets you up to be taken advantage of and you lose out on an actual connection with a genuine person. Business does not translate to romance at all. You have to accept they work completely differently if you want a chance at fulfillment in romance. Also, maybe it was just a saying, but you mentioned your brothers in Christ as if you are following the Christ. If you truly were, you wouldn't be promoting such principles. Christ would tell you that you are spreading the opposite of what he teaches, which is basically satanic.

  18. It doesn't work in the US either or anywhere in the world. The doc just doesn't know what he is talking about. The only time it would work is with very extremely desperate and insecure women or disingenuous women like gold diggers who don't really care for you, and its those desperate and disingenuous ones that are more likely to be bombs as he puts it, because they tend to develop lots of anger because of not having respect for themselves. So he doesn't realize that while he says to stay away from unhinged women, the very next piece of advice he gives leads right to those same unhinged women.
    3
  19. It takes actual humility to overcome insecure attachment styles though. Also, pride is a HUMAN problem. Tons of men suffer from it too. The doc just doesn't know any better.

  20. ​ @Kritikanbringer Yet having discipline makes you more masculine. You can either give in to all of your natural urges like an animal or an undisciplined child, or have some boundaries and standards for yourself and have some self-control and be a more attractive man as a result.
    3
  21. FINALLY DOC. You FINALLY advocated for a man to actually take RESPONSIBILITY for himself instead of blame women like a weak man. You finally taught STRENGTH. And notice the only time you've done this, you did NOT make the usual mistake of comparing relationships to business. You deserve many commendations for this one. Awesome job, doc. Also, a slight correction. Giving in ALWAYS has the same negative result, no matter how soon or late you give in. It signals you won't stand up for what you believe in all the same. By the way doc, you just taught how to be more HONEST AND GENUINE in this video which is finally correct. Instead of the usual bad advice you give to be dishonest.

  22.  @Sataneal42069  "Your life sucks and it's getting worse, so you might as well as just take my offer now or you'll be alone and miserable because NO ONE will want you!" That's his message. It's trying to instill fear in the woman so she will say yes to you. It's manipulative. This will only work with very insecure women with low self-esteem, because it's easier to take advantage of them, because they already live in a state of fear. But giving into fear does not cause passion or true desire for the man. So he still won't experience actual romantic fulfillment like this. So it's just a bad way to go.
    3
  23. At this point, you're just not paying attention to the world around you, and you prefer to make up your own reality. Young working women are getting into relationships and getting married all the time WHILE in a career. Pay attention to the world around you, doc. You're always trying to put limitations on people when reality constantly defies the limitations you pretend are there. And tons of older women still get romantically pursued. Thats the reality you seem to have a hard time accepting.

  24. ​ @donjindra  What a phenomenal comment. So well worded and easy to understand. Your comment is the truth. So few people refuse to try and understand what you are saying here, and therefore, so few people experience that type of fulfillment. I think thats why people develop limiting beliefs that make things easy for them. It helps them to justify not doing the work to address their insecurities, because frankly, it's not fun to address our fears and insecurities and it's easier to find a way to go around them. It's a bad way to go, though.

  25. ​​​​Its only life for those with no integrity and those who don't care about the feelings of others. It's a depressing mindset that makes the world worse. Its a scarcity mindset full of struggle and avoidance. We can choose to be better than that.
    3
  26. Yeah. Its generally due to a human insecurity. It's not exclusive to women or men.
    3
  27. @roses6564  That makes sense. Still, worrying about fertility and eligibility is also a fear. And making a decision based on fear leaves us all vulnerable to settling for someone we don't want. As a matter of fact, fear is the sole reason for settling for someone we don't truly want to be with. So, facing our fears and becoming ok with that outcome we once feared is the solution. It makes us more calm and not in a rush, which actually makes us more attractive.

  28. You'll need some healing from your trauma wounds. It's hard to see past it. Red pill just keeps those wounds open. Thr crappy childhood fairy and Corey Wayne are good youtubers that might help you move past your trauma and learn ways to detect healthy women.

  29. She was looking for you to be direct and decisive like a man so she can feel an attraction to you. You should have just answered the question honestly without the sarcasm. "Because I think you're cute, but I'm not trying to date a woman who is already taken. A man's just gotta make sure." An answer like that shows self-respect on your part and boosts her attraction for you. So her "why" was her subconsciously giving you a chance to attract her even more. You'll notice women do that a lot, especially when they like you. At least you'll know for the future if you come across a seemingly common sense question like that again, which you likely will. Just don't be sarcastic and answer honestly to stuff like that. It will make a huge difference with how people respond to you.

  30. You're not overthinking it. You just caught on and can see past the smoke and mirrors, which I think is unintentional. He also says a lot of extremely obvious common sense stuff like, "a woman won't date you unless she likes you." And many times I find that he usually gets a little truth mixed in with extremely bad and misleading info. Like here, he says not to brag about winning, but he promotes it as a "strategy" instead of actually promoting it as a personality quality of being humble that would be good to practice within ourselves. So by calling it a strategy, he maintains an air of manipulation and haughtiness, as if he is above others and must tame them. It's just patronizing and disingenuous, but I don't think he realizes he comes off that way, because he ultimately is always trying to avoid being vulnerable by using his intelligence to find a way around having to be vulnerable. This issue with that is a person can never truly be confident if they aren't willing to be vulnerable, and you end up being manipulative instead of genuine.
    3
  31. Yeah, taking his advice is actually dangerous. It's mostly dangerous because he mixes a little truth in with his false beliefs, and mixing truth with lies is the most effective way to mislead people. Not that I think he is doing it on purpose. He really just doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time.

  32. It can't be transactional because it won't work. When things are going well and both of you are showing love and consideration for one another, it's easy, but what if one person becomes sad or down or angry for a time and does not show the same affection? Your relationship will end if you treat it like a business and just hold back your love and affection and start returning the same treatment. A big part of love is continuing to be loving, even when your partner isn't being loving. This is why treating relationships like a business will ultimately fail. That, and it would feel unfulfilled, because you would think your partner doesn't love you, but only loves your "product", which is a bad way to go. It would be like being a prostitute.

  33. Not bad. One major issue, though. You MUST already believe in yourself and know that you can do it. This is how you can be much more likely to pass the test and know that even if you don't, you'll still be ok. Waiting until you've actually done it to know you can do it is to remain uncertain, and uncertainty is low confidence, which results in not getting what you want and being less likely to pass those tests. Also, the notion of having to "prove yourself" is approval seeking behavior. That results in a lack of confidence and needy behavior. You should already know that you are capable. There is no need to go out of your way to show off. If a job asks that of you, maybe, but definitely NOT in a relationship. This is why relationships and business are not the same. Also, tests from women are things like to see if you can keep your cool, making sure you don't have a short temperature, seeing if you are really interested in her, and checking if you can handle not hearing from her for a little bit or if you'll flip out. Women do this so they can feel your calm masculinity so they can feel attraction toward you. These things have to already be developed in you as a man. If you go LOOKING to get her approval, that will show, and you'll come off as a little boy, and a woman can't be interested in little boy behavior. This is why all your talk about status and money and success is awful and misleading advice, because thinking you need that to be attractive is another form of seeking a woman's approval. One day, I hope you finally understand this and have the courage to admit that for a long time, you really didn't know what you were talking about.

  34. Awesome comment. Few people notice the constant inaccuracies and unhappiness in Orion's business to relationship comparisons. Also, I notice how you refer to in this video how he literally called women stupid for not following exactly what he said to do WITHOUT even bothering to address the woman's feelings in that example. Which is much like your ex-girlfriend that you mentioned. Selfish and uncaring, and he teaches others to be that way. Also, him calling a woman stupid without seeking to understand the reasons for the answer also shows his personal general bitterness that he refuses to address within himself.
    3
  35. ​ @kldimond True. His perspective misses that balance and nuance a lot. He doesn't necessarily seem like a bad guy, so I don't mean to tear him down either, but it's not tearing a person down to just be honest about they're mistakes and the things they say. If someone doesn't tell them, how will they know they were wrong?
    3
  36. ​@msSerene55 Good points. It's not because he is a man, though. Based on his story and how his view of it as an adult is the same, it's safe to say he has been dealing with a psychopathy disability without realizing it. This is why he can't understand that his mom had empathy for his sister. He doesn't realize his mom was looking to appeal to his empathetic side. He thinks it was pure manipulation. Even now, he doesn't realize that was the real issue. Being hyperfocused on the competition, even as an adult speaks to how he literally can't feel empathy. This also explains his worldview.
    2
  37. It's a sign of a personality disorder. Namely, psychopathy. It's an actual disability where the person can't feel empathy, or remorse and can possibly be antisocial as a result. Notice that he never fully understood WHY his mother wanted his sister to win. He thinks it's because she didn't want to deal with the "consequences" of a crying kid. He is literally incapable of understanding that his mother felt empathy toward his sister. Even now, as an adult, he is hyperfocused on winning the competition and still doesn't fully understand his mother's actions. Psychopathy is basically a disability by the way. It doesn't mean he is crazy and insane like movies and entertainment make psychopaths out to be. And I think it's safe to say he has psychopathy because that would actually line up with everything else he teaches on this channel. That would completely explain his worldview.

  38. Think of this video as a projection of himself. This is not the truth, but instead, this is how the doc views himself. Which, by the way, is a false and limiting belief that he holds of himself. He can, in fact, be all three, but he either feels like he can't be when in reality he CAN be, or he has just developed this worldview in order to enable himself to be disloyal.
    2
  39. ​@voccessbg5396 You got it right. Orion is basically always projecting his personal desires and his toxic attitude and wrong conclusions toward women that he developed after his experiences. We know this because he is wrong about most things and he literally told a story in this video about some of those difficulties with women that has led to toxic videos like this. Those stories only showed that he doesn't know what he is doing. He literally caused an argument before the first date. He doesn't realize it, but HE is being the red flag. The women that argue with him in the story just don't realize it, because otherwise, they wouldn't argue, but instead they would just cancel the date.

  40. You don't have to lie and pretend doc. Thats a weak mindset. Be genuine about what you want, especially when called out. Being honest and genuine makes you 50x more attractive as a man, it keeps you from acting like an akward little boy, AND you have a much better chance of finding a woman that shares your same values. You'll speed up the process of finding a woman like that, actually.
    2
  41. @Mark & Vicki  That's true. I think you summed it up well. Balance is super important.
    2
  42. @LaciRae  Wow, thank you for that compliment. I read a little about those personality types, and yeah, I would say that they both describe me pretty well.
    2
  43. @Anne Boyer  Beautiful explanation. Many people are not taught this, so it really does need to be spelled out. The doctor doesn't seem to understand love, because he constantly uses superficial business analogies to explain deep personal relationships. There is no actual relation between the two. This tells me that he looks at relationships as transactional and superficial, and not loving. So you'll only get extremely superficial advice from him when it comes to relationships. Granted, he is clearly a master at running actual businesses. That logic alone doesn't directly translate to relationships though. The truth is that respect for most people is determined by a person's viewpoint of themselves. They will treat you in the way that they view or feel about themselves in that moment. Although, this only applies to people with a low level of self-control. I will say though that he has a point when it comes to a man standing up to his woman though. It's just more attractive to her when he is willing to enforce his boundaries by walking away, and not giving his time. Also, if a woman is not genuinely respectful at work, this would ba a huge red flag about how respectful she would be in her personal life. You can glean some information by looking at it from that perspective, but that really goes for both men and women.

  44. Their definition of it is different than yours. Your definition is the original, and that's pretty much reached its goal. Their definition is basically what has been invented through the internet from complainers and haughty people. Since no one is ever on the same page due to different definitions of the word, it breeds nothing, but fights and complaints, so there is no point in discussing it or focusing on it.
    2
  45. ​@voccessbg5396 There are few people out there who are genuine truth seekers. Even though its hard to do, they'll drop their beliefs if something else is proven to them to be the truth.
    2
  46. This is the truth. Even in the docs example, he just wasn't interested in the ladies that told him that. Telling him that was just their way of coping with his rejection. Seems like he was just overthinking the reason why they would tell him this, or he was just looking for an excuse for himself as to why he is continuing messing with those particular ladies, even though he isn't romantically interested in them. Granted, perhaps some men actually are afraid for various reasons, but usually, he is just trying to use the woman he won't commit to for quick sex.
    2
  47. It's likely due to the way you are showing up. You as the man have the power to elicit desire within her.
    2
  48. You can't do anything about that. All you can do is make yourself more attractive. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Get back to the man you were that she was attracted to at first. Plan dates, have fun with her, be playful, open her up with conversation showing that you care. Do not be perturbed if she doesn't respond favorably sometimes. Set goals for yourself and have things to work toward. Do not be complacent and lazy. Make sure your words ALWAYS match your actions. Make sure you keep all of your promises. Keep your household up on your own, and let your wife help as she pleases. Be consistent. Make sure your words to your wife are often upbuilding. Don't be afraid to respectfully, but firmly tell her when something is inappropriate. Take the lead and get stuff done. Don't seek her approval or commendation when you do things you know she'll like. Just take the lead. Lead by your own example. Keep your emotional center. These are all masculine traits that will cause feminine women to be attracted to you and feel safe with you. This can make things easier on her. Love in a way that allows her to feel free.

  49. He literally spoke out against authenticity and loving yourself in another video. He thinks it's pointless. This is why he still struggles so much, and this is why he promotes inauthenticitity and lying. He thinks it's the only way. He is determined to have an inauthentic, and therefore weak mindset.
    2
  50. ​@RussellDeacon That's because material success or literal hard work isn't what determines someone's bad or critical attitude. Orion's advice about that is incomplete. It's their own fears and insecurities that they have not addressed, and people like that like to make themselves feel above others by putting them down in order to make themselves TEMPORARILY feel better about themselves. Thats that guy's issue. So you are doing the right thing by setting a boundary and just not associating with this man who refuses to respect you.
