  After reading many of these ridiculous comments under this video shows me that many of you fantasyland idealists didn’t hear this part -&gt; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgR01vEOdwU&amp;t=2629">43:49</a> “The knowledge that we’re looking for is awareness for how reality actually works. &nbsp;Not how we want it to work…not how we think it should work…not how our society tells us it’s supposed to look, but how it actually works. &nbsp;Because if we can understand the principles and the laws by which reality operates, we can flow with those currents, and we won’t be vulnerable when we’re out on the open sea” - Orion &nbsp;This is as real as it gets…

  If I actually believed relationships were like the way he describes them, I would rather live and die alone.

  Keep in mind that psychologists don&apos;t usually get people in their practice who are good at relationships.

  I have women friends who&apos;ve fallen terribly ill with cancer - lost their breasts, endured the ravages of multiple rounds of chemo, etc - and their husbands stayed with them and loved them through their grave illness. &nbsp;If the only thing keeping a man around a particular woman is that she&apos;s sexy and puts out, what a miserable, shallow existence. &nbsp;It&apos;s not just about money, status, or sex. &nbsp;Real relationships are much more complicated.

  I believe him when he said he&apos;s been heart broken far too many times. 80% of what I hear is logic and no heart...

  I&apos;ve been single for a couple years now and I have to say I am happier than I have ever been.

  This is a great example of why getting GOOD help with mental health is so difficult.

  I met my husband over 20 yrs ago when he was a dish washer. We fell in love and the rest is history. There have been times when I was the breadwinner and other times when he is. (Now I stay home with our baby son and he works) I&apos;m thankful I never gave a rat&apos;s ass about any of these games. We work hard together and lean on eachother for friendship and guidance. &nbsp;Thank God for good men!!

  He is clearly explaining lust, the science behind relationships is quite more complicated than this and I know this as a college student. He is exampling an exchange not a relationship.

  Last year I went through a phase of listening to this guy, and while he makes some logical points, the biggest effect his words had on me was making me feel suspicious towards my loving, supportive wife. His perspective encouraged me to resent working to provide our family with the stability we need in order to grow. <br><br>At the end of the day, it’s your own choice whether you reside in the worldview Dr Taraban spins. Remember that he has a target audience, and maybe you’re not it. If you have high goals and morals, don’t be swayed by anyone who leads you toward bitterness

  What I’ve learned from this video and the comments is that women definitely don’t like being generalized.

  As a psychologist myself, I&apos;ll just say that if any of you want to be in a fulfilling relationship, listen to everything this guy is saying... but don&apos;t forget that the purpose of your relationship is to rise above all that. He&apos;s talking about the game, not the winnings.
