Men treat WOMEN the way women treat MONEY: how sex roles change the dating process

After my episode, "Women treat men the way men treat jobs," I received a lot of requests asking for the same treatment from the other direction, namely: what are women to men? I've given it some thought, and this is what I came up with. Keep in mind that my intention here is to help women understand some otherwise bewildering male behavior so they can accept, heal, and ultimately have more rewarding relationships in the future. This is a longer treatment, so be sure to say until the end.

This video is an intersection of many of the topics I’ve been delving into lately: the erosion of men’s confidence due to dating apps ( in which a small percentage of men get the majority of women), women remaining unmarried ( due to a rejection of traditional roles / expectations and a cultural emphasis on prioritising careers) and the general uncoupling of sex and commitment. Louise Perry’s new book says it best: the sexual revolution resulted in far more malcontent than anyone is willing to admit. Both men and women want security- what’s the benefit to marry a woman, have children and become financially intertwined if you know the courts will favor her with respect to custody / alimony? If a woman wants a man in marriage, she needs to reject the current social narrative and assure the man that he also has security: that she will be with him when the chips are down. An apt statement my father often said: Women decide if a relationship will begin, men decide if a marriage will begin.”

Apologies without change in behavior is manipulation

[@regionprince]

It's correct. And I see a lot of people (i.e. women) in the comments of both this and the other video struggling with the analogy. Lord help them. Women are more selective than men for relationships, which cause men to put in more effort into self improvement. Ideally, women should take the vow "till death do we part" more seriously and men should ideally not cheat. But the problem is that, as you said, women only get with the guy that can get women. And a guy that gets women will continue to get women. If he stopped getting women (that is, stop being attractive) she would no longer desire him and the happiness in the relationship will disappear. What women ask of a desirable man (don't cheat) is just as difficult as what men ask of desirable women (don't leave for a better option/when things get tough). If a woman truly wanted a faithful man, she would select the low hanging fruit in the dating market: a man with all the good qualities she likes but is practically invisible to women in general. But this goes against women's nature, but I notice that there are women that take this option later on in life (past 30). It's similar to how a man will wait until their late 30s/40s when they are established and successful to marry an early 20 something female because he'd clearly outclass her other options.

Although I'm not the type to cheat or keep options around, I can definitely understand why other men do it. My family was broken into pieces by 2 women - my mother who divorced my father, and my oldest brothers ex-wife who divorced him after having 5 young kids. Neither of them cheated or had any other options, and I grew up watching both of them fall into depression. All they did was work to support their families and in the end were stabbed in the back for it. After my mom divorced my dad she went and got breast implants and started sleeping around, needless to say I don't talk to her anymore. When I look around and see the statistics of women being the ones initiating divorces 70-80% of the time, it becomes hard not to sympathize with the men who do this. In a world where all of your hard work over decades can be flushed down the drain in the blink of an eye, and for no apparent reason, insurance becomes necessary.

Very well said. Some people here (mostly women) seem to be getting up in arms over this concept but this scenario is exactly how things would have been playing out before marriage and religion came along to put a lid on these motivators as they have perverse outcomes that aren’t desirable for a well functioning and inclusive society. No doubt in prehistoric society the “silverback males” as it were got all the females and the majority of males didn’t get to mate at all. This obviously wasn’t a desirable way to have a cooperative society where everyone pulled their weight so that situation was progressively restricted through societal norms like marriage and religion to ensure a more fair and equitable distribution of relationships to encourage societal inclusion. Ironically the result of the liberation of women has been to progressively remove this previous marriage/religious construct that forced a societal norm that discouraged men treating women like money and women treating men like jobs. You committed to one person and that was it, end of story, and the system made it very difficult if not socially impossible to divorce someone. Now women are financially incentivised to divorce men for no reason whatsoever and young women want to “play the field just like the men”. Thing is that most likely the vast majority of men were historically never playing the field as they were never of a high enough calibre to do so, it was only ever the upper 20% or so of men (the silverbacks as it were) that would get the pick of the women, and now women are making it as easy as possible for that 20% to have their pick of them! Women are shooting themselves in the foot by insisting on getting “Mr Perfect” and then filing for divorce if Mr Perfect puts the wrong shirt on in the morning! We are progressively reverting back to the historical norms that existed before we became an inclusive society and having a whole underclass of males unable to or unwilling to find a mate is one of the factors progressively tearing society apart. Next time you want to complain about crime or lament how unfriendly society has become just ask yourself, would this person be doing this if they had a loving partner, a roof over their head and three meals a day? The answer in the vast majority of cases would be no, most people doing the fucked up stuff in society are doing it because society never gave anything to them or broke them down!

Talking to women completely destroys all the effort put into the logistics of getting them. In other words, as I've gotten older the best discovery is that talking to women and actually listening to their thought process is all the antidote one needs to turn and walk the other way, making physical contact the last thing you'd want.

"Most women have absolutely no conception of the sheer amount of time and effort and skill and resources it takes to get them." I remember exactly when this first dawned on me. I was 17 years old, and was talking to some female friends about why I disliked taking girls (even if I truly liked them) on dates. They couldn't relate at all - they thought dates were fun.

[@BotondKuti]

What a messed up world we live in. I think a healthy target is to aim to find someone who you would never want to replace. I certainly feel like it's a possibility. I personally hate the process of finding someone, so I always hoped that "she" would be the last one. The more time passes, the more hopeless it seems to find that person I'm looking for. Also different people have different goals with their relationships. Again the good target in my opinion is to evolve the relationship and grow together. Or yeah ... Stay single

[@jamessan3404]

The best kind of person was described in Conan book paradoxically as full of muscular men and depravity as they were. If you look at it Conan never stayed for long with girls who were very soft and weren't ready to carry their weight. His longest romances were with queens and pirates who could really manage on their own ( though those were also people who often had at first too much pride to be fair). I dunno anymore if that idea is my conclusion of reading those books or it was explicitly written. But what use is a woman to a man when she comes to him when he already has his empire built. Then it's almost certainly she won't appreciate the effort it took to build it. If she however was there every step of the way, helping when it was hard, being helped in return when she struggled, it's pretty much assured she will look back at that time and be proud of her achievement no matter how it look right now. And even then taking authors logic it would be best for pretty young men to marry young women. Since woman will then have her work and man will cherish the credit of trust he got. However if they meet late in life its really hard for woman to transform a man since he is successful the way he was and its also easy for a man to wander to someone else since he really has no gratitude for her being in his life. Hahha I hope that made sense since I wrote this from phone and might be incoherent a bit too much

I don’t remember love being this complicated with my parents and grandparents. My grandparents 60 something years on both sides. My parents 49 years. Am I missing something, or am I slow this sounded like a very complicated analogy either you love money or you don’t. Either you love somebody or you don’t.

[@jaythenihilist4689]

Women used to have to get married. They couldn't work to support themselves, so women just had to settle for what they could get. Women don't have to do that anymore. Women are hypergamous and go for the most desirable men. And most women would rather be single than settle for a lower value man. This isn't a problem for young and physically beautiful women. But older women (35+), or overweight women, or women who simply aren't that pretty will have to choose between settling for a man that she likely won't find physically attractive. Or stay single. In the near future, about half of all women will never get married or have children.

[@Dr.Ken_11]

It's actually not that complicated of an analogy to comprehend if you understand male and female nature. Your parents and grandparents grew up and got married in a very different era of society. Average women married average men. It's not like this anymore. Currently, below-average up to higher-rated women all want to date/ marry the top 10 to 20 percent of men. And since options turn down options at roughly the same rate as women offered free money you can see how things can get pretty competitive for a woman aiming to nab a top-tier man who is flooded with 'free' pussy. Got it? Good!

So many men (and women) see the opposite sex as a prize… I hope everyone is lucky enough to one day be in a loving longterm relationship, where you love and trust your partner like theyre your child/parent/best friend. You would instinctively sacrifice your life to save them. You’re not separate beings at all, your whole existence is intertwined. It is possible, but you have to have to make a choice regarding your future. I chose one woman because she makes me happier than being with numerous girls ever made me. And she feels the same. Still there are occasionally things that split us apart. But we made a choice, so we talk it through and overcome the misunderstandings. Then were back to the bliss of knowing were presently unconditionally loved.

[@davew4998]

There's an old saying: 'Marriage is the price men pay for sex, and sex is the price women pay for marriage'. For women marriage means security (in the form of wealth mostly) for herself and her children, and for men marriage means providing that security. Of course, over the last 50 years or so women have been able to provide more and more for their own security and be less dependent on men. The arrival of children however usually makes women dependent on men again, which can lead to resentment for the woman. It's not unusual also for the woman to transfer all or most of her love onto the children making the man resentful. It's no wonder then that he might seek solace elsewhere if he feels that he is just being used.

[@lifestoryguy]

It struck me recently that, in a very real sense, women are a man's muse. Just like a writer must do all the writing and only get glimpses of inspiration from the muse, so all men receive inspiration from the women they date. I suppose I'm saying that the women you date are your muse and not your mother for a good reason. If you start to feel like your girlfriend is looking after you like your mother would, then you're probably doing the whole relationship thing the wrong way. If a woman is mothering you, that will trigger her maternal instincts, which is the polar opposite of sexual desire. In the end, a woman can't desire a boy. So, for me, I'd rather date a woman that's like my muse rather than like my mother.

[@ptgsdr589]

💯

[@javier.alvarez764]

if you depend on women to be your inspiration wouldn't that also mean you are doing the relationship wrong? If you are someone who doesn't depend on anyone to get their life together and do things. I find women don't really add any value, in fact, they are an obstacle to men's success.

Wow this is a great analogy! Although I don’t necessarily agree this applies to every men and women on earth cause I myself have rejected money in many occasions and that for my own principles. I also know of men who would have no problem rejecting women. I understand men and I agree we both have to feel secure if marriage be an option make sure nothing’s getting stripped out of him. I now know why men in general are afraid of commitment, I have never really look for it myself so far but I do like exclusivity which may be the same thing. I would never force a man to give up his freedom or single life I want to find someone who wants to offer it to me and of course make sure we are both safe in the relationship or after it if it wouldn’t work out.

[@jordanosborne6610]

Excellent breakdowns. Glad I followed this channel

[@leadharb]

I'm just going to respond purely on the level of the argument itself. The problem with the analogy is that money is a fungible object with no emotions. 5 dollars in the hand of one person is equivalent to the five dollars of another person. Interchangeable, undifferentiated. Humans are not mutually interchangeable like money. That means one person would have a unique emotional, sexual and physical trait dissimilar to another. So it is way easier to get free money because the other money won't complain, won't feel anything and has no attachments.

[@psychacks]

True -- but your employer might, which was my argument. This is why many high-status professions have exclusivity clauses, to protect their "investments" (i.e., human "resources").

[@jamilavibar9698]

Yeah, I think that the analogy disturbed 👺some people.

[@asheekitty9488]

So women are both the employer and the money? These days job commitment is at an all-time low. People change jobs regularly. Also this analogy would imply that men trade in women (money). Once you use the money you earned you have to get new and more money. Also, more money = more women. Kind of funny because men also buy women with their wealth. But thats how it works right? Personally I think we have to outgrow these outdated pathologies for the sake of evolution and as a testimony to our claimed intelligence as a species. These unconscious motivations and methods deny humanity of its social potential and prove our lack of self awareness. Increasingly, women will no longer date men because of what they have to offer since women will have everything they need for themselves. Men have always had this privilege. The emerging values sought after in the dating marketplace for both genders will be companionship and paired problem solving (enabled by psychological compatibility). Those who continue as subjects of these instincts/outdated psychological methods (male and female, perhaps excluding the highly underpriveleged who operate on even greater primal psychological modes) will be seeded out or remain the subjects of objectification, heartbreak, loneliness and existential bitterness. Whether it's men who objectify women, or women who objectify men, it is something that denies the personhood of human beings. Its something that is entirely necessary to change and rethink. Yes, things are like this now, but when will the field of psychology ever make developments and contributions as effectual and meaningful as in science and technology unless the thinkers of that field begin to innovate and challenge the problems they encounter instead of simply accepting things as they are and calling it a day. Pathologies die when society call them out and begin challenging them as was the case with slavery which was once considerably "normal". Abuse in world war 2 under nazi regime would have been a normal occurence in those times. But normal and statistically average does not equal good or beneficial to society.

[@Dmoriarty1993]

@@asheekitty9488 The unconscious element of humanity is arguably the strongest part. Based on what I have been told, our decisions occur several seconds before we are aware of them. Ultimately, we do not possess the free will that we believe we do. Therefore, it would probably be hard to overcome the motivations you mentioned. I think in an age of materialism, everything and everyone is disposable. That's the impression that divorce rates and failed relationships give. Men have a responsibility to make themselves better in order to be attractive. Women have inherent value and men do not, which is hardly a privilege. One of the things driving this is that women seek men who are better than they are, as in richer, taller and more socially notable. Since this instinct aims to better humanity, it's unlikely that anyone will overcome these 'methods'. I wouldn't expect any new answers from psychology or science. Spreading awareness is probably our best bet. I think the issue with the pathologies you outlined is that they were practices i.e. not the cause of the problem. They were simple enough to stop, but the mindset that caused them is alive and kicking. The exploitation of others, ruthlessness and hard-heartedness. That which is currently in vogue is not what is good for humanity, particularly in the west. We have thousands of years of instincts. The last few hundred years are simply an experiment that is still waiting for results. All that is likely is a collapse if we continue on this trend. The only way to overcome the problems is through the opposite of materialism, increased consciousness using esoteric spirituality. Not the exoteric kind which is used en masse, and focuses on dogma instead of understanding and growth.

[@bramposthumus9300]

@@asheekitty9488 "Men have always had this privilege." You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

There’s only one reason to turn down money, for women as for men: it’s called integrity. It’s not a matter to stay faithful to a partner, but to a one’s value system. A full grown up, well-rounded personality will behave that way, at least most of the time (we all make mistakes, of course). We have two issues these days with relationships: one it’s linked to an endemic immaturity, the other to turbocapitalism making us treat people like disposable goods. Honestly, it makes me sick and want to stay single for the rest of my life. P.S.: I did happen to turn down money or commodities, if I felt that for some reason it wasn’t legitimate for me to own them. Go figure.

[@haselbasil2488]

Agreed. This guy does not know what he is talking about.

[@justlurkin]

What integrity is, is fully dependent on pre-established notions of what is right and what is wrong. Different people have different ways of measuring rightness and wrongness. For example if one's value system is based in the full acceptance of the nature of men and women without shame or blame then based on that value system, having multiple women does not invalidate their integrity. Is your moralistic value system superior to someone else's naturalistic value system? I personally don't think so. One who's value system is based on acceptance of the way we are has just decided to avoid conforming to societally imposed standards of the way they should behave because those ways are mostly unrealistic just as its mostly unrealistic to turn down free money.

Im only mimicking your approach of making sweeping statements because of a bit of experience had here: Men would rather do all the chasing and complain about it than have someone choose them and pursue them. The frank truth is that either gender with a lack of perspective will make mistakes and incorrect assumptions and society's commentary on these issues is what establishes a prejudiced narrative.

Great video! Ty for helping to put this in perspective! To me, self-discipline, self-control, and self-respect are attractive qualities in a man. The ideal is a guy who has the ability to cheat with anyone he wants, but chooses not to. That takes strength and character. To me, a guy who has the capacity to cheat and acts on it is on the same level of attractiveness as a guy who is unable to cheat due to lack of options... perhaps even lower because the latter guy still has potential. Once a man has options, we get to see what type of man he truly is and therefore how attractive.
