This is the third part in my three-part series on why successful men use escorts. Just like in the commercial marketplace, you typically get what you pay for in the sexual marketplace, as well. In this episode, I respond to the most common objections to the use of escorts, in particular, and to transactional relationships, in general. This should help women better position themselves to effectively target successful men for relationships, if they so choose.

Hi Dr Orion ! 😀 You say that men's sexual market value increases with time (due to more money and status) but women's decreases... then why do women intiate most divorces in their mid thirties and 40s ? Also, does the average man and even above average man really get better with time ? Because women in their prime (early twenties) rarely date men in their mid thirties unless the guy is a top 5% man like celebrity or an athlete, a status most men will never achieve, even with hard work. They date men close to their ages or few years older. Thanks,

[@sammyb1651]

This is a common refrain but it isn't exactly right and it needs to be put to bed. You have to remember how terrible they are at work. I'm not being facetious here-really consider it. HR didn't exist before women entered the workforce. In the past there were just a few personnel roles in companies-they dealt with holiday/payroll and other sundry admin functions. Because women complain and moan endlessly however HR is now an industry in its own right with vast phalanxes of people ministering to women's workplace-based complaints. In fact it's one of the few growth industries in the West, scandalously. You have to consider who the ultimate "boss" is. Ignore line managers and people you have to suck up to. Ultimately the real boss is the employer. Thats who cuts the cheque. That's all that matters. And to the employer they behave fairly appallingly. So it isn't very different at all really.

[@Focusembedded]

@@sammyb1651 I'm reminded of a rather unpleasant conversation I had with one of the most evil human beings I've ever encountered in my life: A woman in HR who was intentionally manipulating my healthcare benefits when I was undergoing surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy in order to get me to acquiesce to not filing a short-term disability claim for the four weeks I'd be out of work for IV chemo infusions every day. Her line was, "I'm here to help you." My response was, "No, I don't sign your paycheck, the company does. So you're here to protect the company's interests. The problem is you're also on a power trip and grinding me to a pulp is how you get your kicks. I'm sorry that you hate men. But you don't get to take it out on me. As a courtesy, since the chairman of this company's board of directors is a personal friend of mine, I'll discuss what you've proposed with him before I sue the company under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Perhaps he'll seek guidance from his wife, who nearly died of breast cancer." Thankfully, not long afterward, this HR Director "left to pursue other interests." I now run my own small business. And I have a zero-tolerance policy for any crap that remotely resembles this.

The same divorce lawyer I quoted above also said that "the marriage contract is the ONLY legal document that you can sign WITHOUT FULL DISCLOSURE OR TRANSPARENCY OF THE TERMS OR IMPLICATIONS OF THE AGREEMENT!"

[@jacquelinee1220]

This is so true. I have met a widower who lost 2 wives to cancer and said he would never want to remarry because of what he experienced in his second marriage; he told me that he felt used. Him and his first wife (whom he cherished) couldn't have children, but his second wife has a daughter, who has 2 kids. So, now he just enjoys spending time helping his late wife's daughter and her kids and...sometimes me as well. We've been good friends for about 4 years and as someone who keeps to himself most of the time, he considers me as one of his only friends. There was a transactional element but I still cared about him, checked in and sometimes paid a visit with no expectations of him paying, although he insisted to.

Cost and benefit is a REAL thing. Husbands often voice how their sex lives are often neglected and get more expensive as a product of time. They find themselves having to do more and more for women who start to desire them less and less. Lack of sexual tension and familiarity often breeds resentment.

Exactly ... a great study. My dad tried to explain this to me as a teenager ... say about 1967. The world had not yet turned to liquid excrement. I wouldn't have characterized myself as a "high value male" at age 20, because I wasn't 6' tall and did not play varsity sports. But, I did have some good mentors, and I guess I grew into what is now considered to be a high value man. I never thought much about it though. I was too busy working my a$$ off at work, coming home to make sure we all got fed supper, that the kids had a parent there to see that homework was done, that they had lunch for school the next day, that the kids had clean clothes for school the next day. I didn't think at all about it until, as a 70-year old my youngest daughter, now 22, said to me: "Dad, I found your high school picture on line. You were HOT. You could have done much better than my mother! I'm glad you didn't because I wouldn't be here, but DAMN, you could have done better." Oh ... 💩. Young men, listen to an old man (75 this year) who has had three wives and reared three children who all turned out well, three kids, two grandkids, and now a great granddaughter who is pretty as a picture and smart for her age. I hope to have more grandchildren and great grandchildren before I pass. Please listen to Dr. Taraban. He speaks the truth. The cost of sex married to a wife who doesn't care about you easily reaches $50K a sexual encounter, maybe closer to $100K in today's money. That's the cheap part. The constant psychological abuse from a woman who is sure she could have done better will destroy your soul and imperil the mental health of your children. Wait for a good woman. Vet her as if it mattered. Talk to her teachers, her friends, her siblings, her pastor or rabbi. If you're a mature man seriously dating a younger woman, get a prenup that protects you both, and protects the children.

Romantic relationships such as marriage need to be recognized and treated as transactional to be successful. For example, the husband role may require being the primary financial provider, protector, leader, heavy-lifter, handyman, s3xually masculine, being father of children in the relationship in exchange of wife-provided services such as feminine s3xuality, cooking, cleaning, house-managing, birthing of babies, nurturing, and so on.

[@matthewcampbell2947]

I agree, wholeheartedly. I’ve noticed that in the last few generations, women seem to want men to provide like a husband yet act like a boyfriend and keep them entertained, affirmed and pursued. America is full of lazy harlots that spend their time tearing down their mates then complaining that the same has become worthless. Until that changes, it’s passports and escorts.

[@martinh8784]

I managed Indian offshore teams for years. Nearly all of the IT workers are in marriages arranged by their families. Most IT workers are Bhramin, which is still a thing in India today. Embarrassingly for our Western marriages - the Indian arranged marriages appear to be a lot more successful than our "romantic ones". Contrary to popular Western belief, as long as spouses are very discreet about it, both sides have a lot of leeway. That is one advantage of never having sworn any unworkable romantic claptrap to each other. Practically, commercial interest beats romanticism every single time.

This is the ideal for a "successful" relationship, however in Modern western culture, WOMEN and MEN are no longer CULTIVATED to embrace or taught interdependent gender roles in marriages. Men AND women come up short, too often, because they choose mates for the WRONG reasons or misinterpret their purpose within a marriage. Married couples of yesteryear had VALUE that was beneficial and respectable to each other. VALUE wasn't about a big wallet or exceptional beauty. Ironically, in current society, Feminist women are the most masculine. However, we still won't admit that too many men have been feminized and struggle with the core concepts of masculinity. It has nothing to do with being a rich "chad", "bad" boy or a "nice" guy.

This is accurate. I'd argue that instead of trying to "win" the game, play to enjoy the adventure and its challenges, you'll be happier. Put the right guards in place (prenup, making time for the kids and wifey if you're getting married, low attachment and stoicism of you're casually dating), and the game is actually enjoyable. Those who typically complain about it are the ones who think there's some grand prize at the end of it: there isn't. At best, you'll die with your loving, faithful partner, and that's no different than if you've had three different loving partners to arrive at the same destination. Or you can choose to die alone, that's another quest in the game, albeit boring in my opinion.

Man at bar talking to woman he thinks is an escort: I can't afford you. Woman at bar: I'm not an escort. Man at bar: Well, then I REALLY can't afford you. I am a regular at several bars primarily because the women bartenders there remember my name and make me feel welcomed. I totally understand it's in a business context but for the price of a nice meal and a few drinks I get to experience someone giving a shit about me. If that sounds pathetic then note that all my recent first dates found me paying for TWO meals and drinks, going home alone and never hearing from them again.

I am sorry for you, money is great but it is only part of our's life, personal relationship should be built for feeling and being together good and the basis should be separate from money exchange also good part of life. If we only count love as something to get, only giving instead money, this leads to sad situation. We just even lose any feeling if someone is good or bad for us as the person, if he/she is compatible with us to feel good together because of relationship, not money exchange.

Nailed it! BigLaw Corporate Law Partner here ... The providers I used to see prior to retiring from the hobby (because I was fortunate enough to find a high-value woman with whom I formed a genuine relationship) were very charming and engaging. If I couldn't have great conversations with them, and if they were not age-appropriate, I wasn't interested. Having clearly defined boundaries is wonderful. Yes, they are compensated (a few $1k or higher at the highest end), but after that is discussed and settled, money doesn't come up again. These ladies are highly intelligent and engaging - very expensive therapists. At the tail end of a loveless marriage, it was very nice to have an intelligent and engaging woman take genuine interest in me - as a client, yes, but that was fine. There's much more to say on this topic - but I will leave this comment brief.

Since you are talking about what you know so little about let me help you. i've used escorts hundreds of times since the 1970's until a few years ago when my libido, not my money ran out. The 70's-80's was the golden age of escorts, mainly college kids trying to make a buck. For a little extra you got a marvelous experience. They were real 'girl-next-door' types from the days where you hankered after but never got the girl next door. The internet and porn videos in the mid 90's killed it. Tattooed, breast implanted, barbie types, often on drugs, with no personality offering the 'girl-friend' experience' which was anything but, took over.

How incredibly sad it is, that modern marriage has become a situation where compared to the services of an escort, it has a higher potential level of connection than with an escort, however it also runs an obscenely higher probability of risk, and far greater consequences of damage for the man, when it goes wrong. We have reached a tipping point where now half of all marriages fail, and more than 70% of the time, it is the women who end it. Also, the greater your starting point of wealth, status and achievement going into the marriage as a man, the more you will lose. I suspect that no fault divorce has made marriage not just worthless as a life long commitment. It is now demonstrably a health, wealth and sanity killer for men under most western legal systems. Which is why the rate of marriage is actually dropping, certainly in Australia, and I suspect in other parts of the western world too. . The people who also suffer enormously from this situation are the children of these marriages. They not only come off the rails far more often, early in life - they often become damaged adults.

If you do this they will each have about 10 other friends who they can call for help on any matter. This means you have around resources to call on when times are tough or you need a hand. The secret is that you ALSO have to be a person of value. This way, regardless of if it's WW3 or whatever you will have a massive pool to help you get ahead and make wise choices. From time to time you will think someone is of value as as one of these friends, but then you find out they are not, so you trim/prune and add new people of value to this list.

"This type of relationships are not the highest experience you can aspire to, but they are far from being the lowest". Many men are truly trapped in loveless marriages with a trainwreck of a woman full of baggage. And they dont even get sex with a hot body. i think its a series to offer self reflection, and the entire theme of his channel: "what am i bringing to the table, what im i getting from it, and why am i in this relationship?" The values of some people that really dont care emotionally about a woman, they might as well just be with an escort.

Love yourself first and share your hard fought wellness with those yoy love ❤

I still remember going tp a Taco Bell drive thru 5 years ago and the person on the other side said, 'Hello..how are you today?' And I got a mint with my food. Small gestures that literally cost them a few pennies all in that people remember so yes..being paid gives you an incentive to be friendly and pleasant when dealing with the public.

This is especially relevant today as "relationships" have become more and more transactional. Women, thanks in no small part to social media, I believe, have reduced dating to a game where they see how much free sh*t they can get from a guy who thinks they like them before they cut the cord.

You are very eloquent. You have a solid skillset to be an excellent attorney! Weather you want that or not... is not relevant to this complement! ❤

Brilliant, Doc! Just, Brilliant!!!

Marriage means legs close & mouths open.

[@rayrwyr]

mouth open selectively.

[@martinh8784]

I like your accurate and concise summary, and I will borrow it in the future!

[@roses6564]

I think you mean hands out. Mouth open would still be something, no?

[@SiphoOriginal]

I like the way you said it at the end " your customers are buying a different product" and they won't change even of you you talk bad to them...😂 you have a way of outing things professionally and respectful..I respect you Doc

[@Kshep84]

I love your work. Hopefully women will watch this and get a different perspective on what men go through to try and pick them up...

[@martinh8784]

Hopefully, young men will see this and stay away from marriage.

We hope, but don't hold your breath.

Some women treats their partners worse and they go outside and treats strangers better.
