Being famous is like being a woman: musings on a haircut

[@psychacks]

Though I'm not particularly famous, I have noticed a number of changes in how people treat me since my channel became popular nearly a year ago. And these changes have overwhelmingly been positive: many men and women now go out of their way to show their appreciation and respect. However, this has taken some getting used to, since -- as I explain in this episode -- this is the first time in my adult life that people I don't know have shown me kindness. Ultimately, I conclude that being famous is like being a woman.

@psychacks I went through a much, much smaller but somewhat similar process to what you describe. I left a 10 year relationship that started in college. I remembered how hard dating was as a young, broke, man. How women treated me, how everyone disrespected and dismissed me. As I was getting ready to rejoin the dating world, I expected more of the same. Great was my surprise when I found out that achiving the top of your profession, making great money in a respectable job, having your finances under control, and showing more self assurance would drastically change my dating experience. I was the same person fundamentally, but now I had women chasing me and aggressively pursuing me. That really irked me. It dawned on me just how terribly I had been treated back when I had no money nor visible status. I had just assumed it was normal and when women complained about how tough they had it, I guess I had been projecting my own difficult experience to them. It's only after dating several gorgeous, young women, that I got a real glimpse at just how easy their lives really are. And they are completely obvious to this priviledge - convinced that they have it bad The contrast and particularly, the lack of awareness for the experience of the other 50% of the population was .... infuriating. Young men have it tough, and it's tougher still to swallow the reality that it's only by providing visible value that such treatment improves to be a fraction of what almost all women get, just for existing. All the while they complain about how oppressed they are and how difficult their lives are.

[@matthewbull338]

I can’t begin to overemphasize how hard it is to try and live up to women’s increasingly high expectations nowadays! Despite being over 6’ tall, college educated & emotionally articulate, women just seem to think that they deserve more & are indignant when men just inevitably don’t meet the men of their expectations! I can tell you all from personal experience that when you DO NOT give women unearned attention(as I have done ..for years now) they simply find a guy who will. And…there are simply plenty of men who will. So the question to Orion is what’s the point? It seems women hold all the cards as men will do whatever they have to, to attract a woman in the current dating market.

[@Laneous14]

Years ago my buddy and I were doing an independent film (just for fun) and I needed a haircut as my hair was super long. We went to a barber shop and decided to somehow incorporate the haircut into the film so he was walking around filming me while I was getting my haircut. When I got up to leave this attractive, older blonde woman came up and introduced herself to me and her eyes were just lit up. She actually thought I was someone important enough to have a camera man follow me around and she just had to make sure I shook her hand. It was so strange that it took me a minute to process. Never before or since in my life has a strange woman come up to introduce herself to me like that. It honestly made me lose a lot of respect for women to see how blatantly one of them will star chase. I think a shocking amount of men don't realize their one and only would leave them in a heartbeat to go bang a celebrity on a 'girls' trip'.

I immediately remembered once in college while sitting next to this objectively mid chick in the lecture hall, got a glance at her messaging app on her phone and there were 568 unread chats. I asked why she doesn't open and respond, she answered they were mostly stubborn men she wasn't interested in, and she didn't have the time to converse with all of them. At that time the most chats that could typically be active on my phone were 5, 3 of which were group chats, and 2 from someone asking for a favour.

[@ANOM110]

Scarcity and Exclusivity often determine value.....essentially, theres not alot of "it" and i'm the only one with "it".....its why commodities trade well....they are limited resources that are always in demand. Those 568 msgs were like 568 granules of sand on a very large beach.....they hold almost no value other than to add to the already existing and seemingly infinite swaths of sand. I remember a time when men were selective and there were subsets of women who got no attention and were therefore very grateful when they did get some. The power to create that environment rests with men as we can (and should) control that commodity which is our attention (time, resources, etc). Social Media is largely to blame as it has honestly made us all lazy and drove us further apart despite being more "connected" than ever.

[@Khan-rz8qi]

Women are born with their value, Men must build their value. This inherent bias in humans comes from women’s ability to give birth. Men don’t have this ability, therefore they must externally seek materials and value in order to gain basic human respect and consideration. I’m not famous, but an attractive and wealthy man, and I’ve made the same observation; Life for the average man is hard and it sucks.

[@louniis]

Even if you are average you can increase your value fast by improving your physic and your intellect and making money and more.... , in my experience the worst thing I have seen the last 10 years is simp pandemic if attention return to it's value lot of things would in sexual dynamic between men and women.

[@Khan-rz8qi]

@@louniis Physical attractiveness matters for sure, but as a woman getting an attractive man to sleep with you is easy. Increasingly women are demanding more resources from their male counterparts, demands that the average man simply won’t be able to match on a wide-scale. Men improving their physics will for sure be beneficial to themselves and for some increase their chances of getting laid. But that’s about it, it won’t fix the problem on a wide scale. When men and women become equals, most women view most men as undesirable and unfit for sexual reproduction.

[@hakan9693]

I think it´s less about capability of giving birth, but more about the unnecessarily high amounts of testosterone which somehow did not decrease during evolution. An overwhelming majority of men cannot control/manage the impacts of high testosterone and degrade themselves in the sexual marketplace. As a result, all men suffer collectively.

[@ozertayiz]

I don't get that. Why is "giving birth" more valuable than "getting women pregnant"? Look at fatherless stats, arguably, a father is more important than a mother in raising functional kids to adulthood.

They are born with value beause that value is perceived by us (men). We give them that. Too bad most mem (90% or more) will never stop giving women that kind of attention, it´s unfixable.

If the attention is appropriate, and it isn't appreciated, that's just bad manners. I happen to have been born with genes that have blessed me with really beautiful hair. People have noticed and complimented me on it since I was a toddler -- thousands of times. Perfect strangers have reached out to touch it (unnerving). The one thing I've learned to do is for every compliment I receive, is to say: 'Thank you, how sweet of you to say that!" to every single person, like I'm hearing that compliment for the first time in my life. And that's because it's the first time THAT PERSON has said it to me, and I hope that my appreciation for their compliment will encourage them to keep complimenting others, and we'll all just become a whole lot nicer to each other. So please don't stop giving women -- or anyone -- your kind attention. You could be 'educating' someone else on how to 'do it right.' Blessings!

Interesting observation and a really great point. This phenomenon happened to me also back when I served in the Navy. I was at New York during fleet week wearing my dress whites and my God, the amount of attention and admiration we received was incredible. People were asking for photos taken, when we dined out to eat, people offered to pay for our meals, even a kid asked for my autograph! I really felt like a rock star during that week. It was surreal.

[@TheEurostyler]

I do remember going to bars and clubbing sometimes, and often, with a few female friends. A scenario that was good enough on both sides to enhance our status. You get me here I do remember vividly, after this great video, that my attitude as a man was low key ‘till I was able to mingle or possibly prowl. Sometimes, when I/ we were away from the girls we would reconcile halfway through the evening. If they hadn’t had enough attention they would moan aloud that no one was approaching them to the least buy them a drink. These were pivotal moments in my development and that’s why I don’t buy a drink. These videos are so good because they actually break down the evolutionary process that allows for many men to lower their standards. Keep it up.

I think there is a piece missing here. For a lot of socially aware women, we don’t see these offers from men as something we’re entitled to. We actually see it at something that is only offered because they want something from us and we have to eventually give or do something back in return. And in all honesty that can be a very scary position to be in because some of these offers come out of no where and threaten our sense of safety because again we feel pressure to 1 decide and 2 come out of the interaction safely. Even if it’s a man we find attractive we still don’t know him and have the fear of trusting his intentions. So yeah most women don’t see men offering us things as a completely positive and validating thing.

I've been lucky to experience a "local fame" twice. Once in my research career where I would clean up as a 8 or 9 grabbing the eyes of the ladies at local business functions going to hear me speak. The second time was as I got older and really invested in tennis and pilates. I became crazy fit. Women who played in my drill classes or saw me often asked to "hit a few after hours". The problem was that outside of those two very special situations, I would suddenly drop from 8 or maybe 9 to suddenly 5-6. I couldn't walk around with a statistics book or a Babolat tennis racquet at all times. I think this "local fame" is more within everyone's grasp. The top local darts player, best frisbee golfer, the guy pacing the local jogging club. Everyone has a shot at "famous" enough to meet a cute woman.

Problem is this: if I treat a woman well, she will think I'm trying to get her into bed. If I treat her poorly, she will think I'm a PoS and leave. The only other option is to ignore her, in which case she will ignore me (unless I'm already famous). The trick is to find a certain golden balance between all this. Be polite and charming but don't do her favors. Tease her but don't insult her. Ask her questions but always be ready to leave.

Hi and Thank you Dr Taraban! I have several comments: 1. Even if most men stop giving women unearned attention, there will still be some men that do, and those will have strong advantages over the rest of us in the dating market place. I could go into more details and examples on this if you'd like. 2. I agree with you regarding women that get a lot of unearned attention feeling like they are entitled to it. We can see this as one of the strong reasons that ageing is psychologically so much more difficult for many women than it is for most men; they stop getting the unearned attention and "pretty privilege" that they think is part of basic human decency. 3. Regarding being visibly competent: I try to be humble in most ways. I believe it is better in the long run to be around people that will treat me well without them necessarily knowing or caring what I'm good or not good at, and also that it's better in terms of human relations when all parties are humble. However, I do agree that is a disadvantage in the dating market to be humble, especially in the early stages when a women doesn't even know the man yet. Humble men are almost always "friend-zoned" early on, unless they are unusually good looking. 4. Finally and most importantly, I think that most young women can't tell the difference between a man being humble versus that man lacking confidence or lacking ability. Similarly, I believe that most young women can't tell the difference between deserved confidence versus ego or braggadocio, or sometimes even narcissism. It took me decades to figure this out, and I hope that soon research will demonstrate this somehow. It's so odd how sometimes a man can walk into a room, behave in an inappropriate attention-getting way, and seem like an incompetent clown to most men in the room, while at the same time appearing to be a confident, assertive, and charismatic man to most of the young women in the same room.

I was brand new to that meeting famous people thing, so I made the mistake of temporarily leaving the a conversation with one of the stars during a break to get something from my car in plain view of throngs of their female fans. I got accosted by about a dozen of their fans to get them an autograph. The were feral almost. I told them I was just a normal dude with a regular job and zero influence in getting them a sandwich, let alone an autograph. They said, bullshit, you’re in there and we’re out here, and we saw you talking and laughing with him. Luckily someone had the good sense to send one of their security people after me and the star actually did autographs sometime later. Those girls were right. Not a dime came out of my pocket that entire weekend. I was just offered stuff and catered to because I was with the entourage, nothing more. I enjoyed it because it was understandably temporary. Had it been normalized, I think I too may have become expectant of it. Great video.

I don't entirely disagree.

Her reaction when she opened the package is one of the greatest memories that I hold from that relationship. I was very happy to make her that gift, because she had on other occasions showed great kindness too. I think it is very dangerous to not believe in kindness, for mental health.

So true... From the age of 14, I found myself the focus of unwelcome attention from men. As someone naturally shy and reserved, I sought to escape this attention. Yet, paradoxically, it seemed that the more I distanced myself, the more persistent their efforts to win my favor became. Over time, I became accustomed to a life where I rarely had to reach for my wallet, receiving favors and gifts almost effortlessly, even when I was reluctant to accept them. Despite this, I pursued independence. Men appeared driven by a desire to be indispensable, to offer assistance and care.
