"Not everyone should be in a relationship." Thank you for that. I realized in my 60's that I do better on my own. I am healing from a lifetime of unhealthy relationships. I see now how my intrinsic codependency affects all of my interactions with people. How do I stop?

[@createmorecontent]

I'm only in my mid 30s right now and I can relate to your comment. Sometimes I feel a bit selfish and even lonely but those feelings fade and I genuinely have a certain peace/solace by being alone. I would love to have someone I can trust and love me unconditionally but the older I get the more comfortable I am being single. Even though I'm half your age the best advice I can give is to love yourself and always put God first. (Not sure what your beliefs are but this was not intended to offend)

[@createmorecontent]

@bane8257 To love yourself, take care of your mind, body, and soul. Find a purpose in helping others, not to where it would turn into co-dependency or toxic but helping others in life and not on an intimate/personal relationship level. Understand that people are going to disappoint you sometimes and hurt people hurt people. Know when to remove yourself from a situation that is having a negative impact on your mental health!

And something they just said really hit home for me. Getting in a relationship is not going to make you happy. If you're not happy in your life and happy with who you are and what's going on then you're just going to make somebody else miserable or you're going to find somebody else that's miserable and then you're both really going to go off the deep end.

[@izzydeadyet7336]

I learned this early on but it was easy for me because I'm an only child and was always a loner anyways. Watching my friends follow their attractions and then watching them crumble.. I realized you have to be happy alone before adding someone to your life . But trying to find someone who's in it for the same reasons is hard, because when you first meet someone both parties offer their best selves for the first little while until the masks fall off .. if you can go six months without seeing the person change into a jerk you might be on to something

As someone who grew up on a farm, loved it and had no interest in ever living a city life, my definition of a “successful man” seems to differ from most women. I actually find it very unattractive when a man can just pay for something vs having the skill to do it himself. My definition of a successful man is someone who has learned a variety of skills and is able to really tackle anything and just figure it out, nothing more attractive than a guy who can fix anything and has a lot of try. Someone who wants to provide attention and asks how he can best support you is so much better than someone who wants to just work all the time and make loads of money. But I get we are all a little different in what we want.

SAME! ….and I don’t fit his yucky thinking on ‘beautiful women’’, about having things handed to me on a silver platter. F that. There’s a lot of hard work that needs to be done on a farm and makes you a practical woman. My Dad didn’t let us slack off AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO EITHER. We were a part of the success and we shared in that success together. I don’t expect men to really understand the female experience, so I forgive his best guesses on ‘’women’’. I’m really put off by men who don’t know how to do stuff, don’t have skills. I often know more than tgey do, and they lost interest because of that. I’d expect that because of the man’s need to be the leader, it just doesn’t make it easy for me to find a suitable partner. That’s skill set is a solid resource more so than some CEO who weaseled his way to the top, he can easily be fired too. What then? Money is a resource, but having the skills and health IS REAL RESOURCE. You might be rich but you can’t eat money.

Through my divorce after a long term marriage I found that age doesn't equal wisdom. Older men don't know more than younger men. Sometimes they are more damaged because of life's circumstances. Men and women alike. Embracing someone's damage and loving them anyway is a beautiful thing. Helps to heal. I don't think anyone comes out of life unscathed.

[@brandon-toddhutchinson3798]

💯 As a young man, I recall feeling like one day I'd suddenly understand what was wrong with me as to why so many men around me came across so unwise in my eyes- while being seemingly functional adults paying bills and doing their taxes etc.... Suddenly I'm a man and I'm being slowly pushed into positions where older men would be under my authority. I kinda hate it, and I almost always reject those roles for more than just that one reason. It's so unexpected (and excruciatingly tragic to me anyway) that wisdom can halt for 20 or 30 or more years- for men and women alike

[@michaelfrench3396]

I've been with my wife for 10 years. We've been married for 6 years. My life's not an addict. I have been in recovery from drinking for a year before I ever started trying to date anybody. And she was not the first person I met. I dated like three other women were wet on dates with three other women I guess and because I had been sober for a year I wasn't looking for a crutch. I was looking for a relationship and I could immediately say that the other women that I went on dates with were clearly still trying to figure out who they were and what they were going to be. I already knew. I was a fisherman. I just needed to quit drinking. Once I did I was fine. Like I knew what I wanted out of life and I knew what it where I wanted to be. And when I met my wife for the first time we just clicked like we had talked beforehand online. But like when we actually met in person that first night. We spent 7 hours together because I think for the first time neither one of us was trying to satisfy anybody else in the relationship. We were just completely being ourselves and like letting each other know everything about us. Even the bad stuff. I actually farted when we were walking to a restaurant to get dessert. This was like 4 hours into it and she just laughed and said she was happy that didn't happen the first half hour but now it didn't matter 😂 The biggest thing I've gotten or figured out that is a variety is you know the Golden rule stands from treat people the way you want to be treated. No matter what the situation. That doesn't always mean that you're going to be treated well in return. But you deal. Cuz you know you did your best. And when you put those good things out in the universe and you treat other people well and with respect and you treat yourself well and with respect other people notice. I don't know if people just gravitate towards folks like that and that's why it seems to be easier. But I can tell you the things have gotten better and easier for me every year since I quit drinking

My oldest we just had the 10th anniversary of the day she was shot and killed yesterday actually. Her sister had a tooth pulled and developed dry socket. She was in a lot of pain and the dentist did not want to give her pain medicine. So, a "friend" offered her what she thought was a pill she had taken from her MD. That proved fatal. The coroner told me she was tricked and poisoned by fentanyl. I miss them terribly and I cry almost every day. However, I feel when they are nearby.

In my experience he’s hitting the nail right on the head. I could be here all day explaining how much I used to simp over girls. I used to have the thinking to some extent that being in a relationship with a lady was going to solve many of my problems. Kinda like the saying “every great man has an even greater woman behind him”, not to mention everyone around me had one too so it seemed like it was just what I should be focused on. However after 12 years of being on my own with nothing but bad experiences in the realm of relationships before that, I’ve finally reached a place of genuine happiness within the last year or two of my life while being on my own and now the idea of allowing anyone in that would jeopardize that just repulses me further from the ideology that I once held onto. I hope I can be able to still find a connection out there but after hearing this confirm what I pretty much already knew and seeing many of the comments, I’m not exactly going to hold my breath on finding anything truly worthwhile. Anyways, great interview Mark with much food for thought. Hopefully some can take something away from it.

I truly wish everyone could really hear his comments at the end about pain. Coming from my experience in the pharmaceutical and managed care industries, I can confidently say that one of the biggest and most damaging lies we're told is that our lives should be free from pain. None of us were ever promised that! Pain is a part of living! It's inevitable and if we can grit our teeth and bear it's (temporary) sting, there is so much to be learned about ourselves and what we're capable of! I feel like people being under the impression that they have the right to live life without experiencing pain is a major reason for the opiod epidemic. Listen to how many of them started down the path of addiction after being prescribed pain medicine for an injury. It's heartbreaking.

I agree with him that some people aren't meant for or ready for relationships. I also agree that people go into relationships with the idea of molding others into what they want instead of just accepting them for who they are. I'm one of those "relationships aren't for me." this isn't because I am not good at relationships; I don't try to change people and I accept people for who they are. I'm not meant for relationships for many reasons, some of which include the following: I value my independence over nearly everything, I don't like that relationships often become parental where one party is telling and controlling the other, I don't like that people try to change me, I value my alone time. I am genuinely happy to live alone and not date at all; I'm not sure why that is so hard for people to believe when over 50% of marriages fail, and rarely are people happy in their marriages. Sometimes, I feel like people want me to be as miserable as they are, so they are trying to push a relationship onto me. The problem is society and their need to push others into relationships. There is so much pressure for it, and we can't seem to be able to accept people for the choices they make for their lives to be best for them. I can not tell you how often it happens that I tell people I am single by choice and not looking to change that the response I get back is "Oh, you just haven't found the right person yet." I'm like did you not just hear what I said? I am not even looking or wanting it, so no, I haven't found the right person because I don't want the right person I want to be alone. I'm not an addict, I don't commit crimes, I don't bother people, I don't intrude upon the lives of others, I don't create chaos, so just let me live my life the way I want to live it and accept it. Like why do people care if I am single? They aren't paying my bills, doing my job, or taking care of me in any way, so just let me be single.

Thank you Mark. With his empirical view of this seeming basic question, has helped me understand things and potentially be less bitter about it as a whole. I’ve had most of these observations myself, but this gentleman was able to articulate and put it into a whole picture in one sitting. Amazing

“Life is long and mysterious.” A gem of deep reflection among a bunch of stereotypical drivel about what men/women want, their attractability shelf lives, dating app type of mentality that does not reflect real life or soul matters.

[@diesel46809]

Very true, not everyone is ready for a relationship, I found out myself, more than most people are just looking for a hook up and not a relationship. I myself was looking for someone to spend time with and have fun while doing the relationship thing. Not just to hook up and then move to the next person as soon as you could after being with them physically. You need to be safe and careful, not everyone is honest and loving as they seem to be. Sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses and kick back, let the real person come out as time passes. You will see the real person in time.

[@lilliannarine7357]

I love Orion and his vocabulary! Thank you Mark!🎉

[@DaRkPlUm]

My thoughts are jumbled on Orion, but I'll try my best to explain. Mark, I feel like Orion's presence on the channel is *_necessary_* . In a way, he almost feels like the bonus episode at the end of a shows season (the season comprising of all the interviews between the last time we see Orion on the channel), that contextualises and explores the many facets of people and how we interact with each that can help us to better understand the past interviews. Or, at the very least, to allow us to bring some more empathy and understanding into the next interview we watch and how the relationships that have formed around that person have lead them to where they are today. Thanks for continuing to invite him and, Orion, thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us.

If you think the presence of Orion videos on this channel are a necessity, you will not be splitting atoms anytime soon. 😂

@shyamlynn243 hahaha! I do too, but I'm also slightly immature 😅

[@rolotomassi5173]

Nobody asked but I’m 23 and I’ve never been in a relationship before. Orion makes an excellent point in empathizing healing before relationship building. I’ve dealt with a lot of anxiety and depression over the years. I’ve felt unworthy of romantic love my entire life. When I think of the kind of boyfriend I would have been if I had started dating in high school or college it scares me. At the time I felt completely ready to date, hell it was all I think about. But looking back at my mental state I failed to realize just how unprepared I would have been. I had no self esteem, I felt I needed a woman to love me before I could love myself. That never happened, so instead I was forced to cultivate that on my own. And I’m glad that’s how it turned out. If I had been in a relationship I probably would have made my partner miserable and in turn make myself miserable too.

[@Dana-wc6bx]

Something that's rarely talked about in regards to attraction.....women often choose partners that will give them what they seek in life. But also there are women who choose a partner based on lust. Women can feel very lustful based on physical attraction just as much as men. When that lust wanes, it can be hard to rekindle. And if there are no other benefits achieved, the relationship is doomed.

[@hookedoutfitters4153]

Mark, I hope you and your family and friends are safe maybe on your way out of town from the fires please be careful out there. We are praying for you and all the friends we have through you.❤❤❤❤❤

[@Ruby_nba]

OH yessss! its about time Orion is back on this channel.

[@michaelvilli09]

i know the street interviews pay the bills, but these interviews are so good because they show how we're all searching for the same things at every level.

[@anna.rarytska]

The title! 😂

[@alteredbeast7145]

One of your most interesting ones, especially when taken in the context of the divorce lawyer.

[@brandimyhren6317]

I believe people are looking for specifics with looks of somebody because that’s the first thing one sees that makes them interested. Where if they paid more attention to a person’s qualities for their future. They end up with an attractive person and all they do is argue and get cheated on. Also people can’t be honest in the beginning of relationships and end up wasting time on figuring out relationships they never should of been in had they been honest as soon as they knew it would not work between them. Immaturity and not having enough time to live and know yourself and have confidence in who they are with. It’s ok to be honest and it’s ok to end relationships that aren’t good for you. Timing can be all that’s keeping relationships from working. People need space and need a chance to show you their feelings .

[@annemarie172]

I needed to hear his truth. Thank you for this interview.

[@lanniele2214]

Thank you Mark! This man is a genius so I’ve been trying to get into his own videos but I personally found it dry, almost lecture-like. However, with the help from your questioning… Orion has some incredible insight!

[@rosalind442]

Mark, I hope you’re safe and secured. I just learned about the fire. Great video. Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️

If you are a man i can tell you do not have much experience with women, if you are a women, it is safe to assume you may not be the top choice of a man, based off your comment.

“It must be so frustrating to women” (that men cheat on them). Guest says: “In what way?” That told me everything I needed to know. Dude.

He is a man .He will never understand how a woman would feel when she gets cheated on.

[@rogerteaminski6351]

You are very low IQ, unsurprising this was made by a woman. Too emotional to take half a second and breathe and figure out the 50 ways he could've meant this. Since you can't figure it out, replace "in what way" with "elaborate". Men do this thing where we think, and understand that a set of words said by 50 people can mean 50 things, so explain what you mean so I am not assuming what you meant. Kind of like what you did :). Welcome to conversation and adulting 101.
