In my model on the balance of attraction, I note that -- since it isn't possible for two people to like each other exactly the same amount -- one person (the adorer) must like the other person more, and one person (the adored) must like the other person less. While these two positions are gender neutral, I make the argument in this episode that it is actually better for women to be in the position of the adorer. This is due to the fact that adorers experience the lion's share of emotionality in a relationship, and women tend to mate and date up (suggesting that they actually want to look up to a man).

Women have no concept of honour. They won't stay loyal to you just because they gave their word and gave some invisible oath in their heads. That's a purely male phenomenon. It doesn't compute in their heads. Women's only value is towards their momentary emotions. What you provide them with. And how you make em feel about themselves and look to others for status.

It's super easy as a man to attract a woman when you aren't truly interested in her, because you don't care what she does, so you're being more of your usual masculine self, so you effortlessly give her enough room for her feelings to grow. When a man is truly interested in a woman, or adores her, he has to actually exercise some self-control and self-respect, because he tends to treat the one he wants a little differently than the others by reaching out too often and by other little things when interacting with her. This causes her to lose attraction and it gets in the way of the growth of her romantic feelings, because he essentially acts more feminine than her. This is why it seems to us men that the ones we like don't like us, but the ones we don't like always like us. Its due to our behavior. So with a little self-control and self-respect and being conscious of vetting the woman and seeing if she is good for us and treating her the same as we would any other woman, we can indeed have the woman we adore while also being adored by her. It's possible. Adoration doesn't equal pedestalization. It just has us acting less than our authentic selves sometimes without realizing it if we are not careful.

I think that is true. It can be a little more complex than that. If you are still highly attractive in other ways to her, then the sort of "chasing" can almost seem endearing to some women if you do it well and with charm. Every woman is different in some ways. But yeah, generally speaking, I think that's correct. You do have to keep some self control and self respect, and monitor yourself because its so easy to put them on a pedestal, and most of the time doing that is no good. It's allways the ones you're not that bothered about that come to you lol.

@@steph6109 I agree in general, but that is not the whole of it. A number of people, like marriage counsellors, have said that women switch off men more often after marriage than vice versa, especially after the kids come. I think there is something of a weakness in women in maintaining the connection with a husband. Men love women more than women love men. I was basically the same person before the marriage as after it. She was fine before but a few years in I was not taken into account in her thinking. It has been a difficult time getting some of that back. My wife is a good person, good mother, loyal, hard working, does housework, doesn't waste money. I am just pointing out what appeared to me to be a bait and switch, but is probably not contrived to be that. I don't think women are any better than men at recognising where credit is due. They are quite capable of totally taking people for granted, just as men are.

It’s strange, in my ex relationship I did admire him so much. I was obsessed with him. He was emotional about me as well and quite possessive. However, I think objectively I was the more attractive one (12 years younger, and a lot of people find me attractive, him not that much physically). He also didn’t have a lot of money. But he was an artist and I liked his character a lot, he was interesting. Anyway, I adored him more than the other way around I think. Unfortunately, he still left me. He didn’t want marriage in general also, a lifelong relationship yes but not a marriage. I think it doesn’t work to be the adored one for men who have attachment issues. Maybe for him, he needs to adore someone and she needs to be a bit unavailable…

@@Marivi247 Thanks for your story. Yes, I think he had issues with commitment. I didn't. I don't have trauma, I came from an intact family. My wife is the same. Of course, too much admiration from the women could lead the man to think he has better options. There is no one factor that explains everything, but to generalise, far more women file for divorce, and the most common reason is "lack of commitment".

I understand the fear men feel that a woman who isn't invested in a relationship can destroy their life, but asking for an "adorer" and a woman looking for that emotional high is really a devil's bargain. Those women are almost always more unstable and have self confidence issues. She will probably get bored eventually since infatuation always runs out. Worst case, she might find her self respect and realize she wasn't that in to you to begin with. That is a rude awakening - the whole thing will fall apart. People looking for "emotional highs" are almost always looking for something outside of themselves to distract from an emptiness inside, and that usually makes its way into the light eventually. Leads to misunderstanding and combustive episodes.

Profound. This dichotomy appears to suggest that in mate selection, a man is better advised to couple with a woman slightly below the man's status (social, economic, charisma). He thereby surrenders the pursuit of the "super-model sex object" that he would adore. Challenging. Your message resonates well with Aly Drummond's (RealFemSapien) insistence that most women do not get the man they want. Instead, they accept the adored status in a relationship.

@@chrishnah - I appreciate your input. Through my personal experiences over many years, women have repeatedly stated that a man's charisma (strength of character + fashion sense) are the single greatest attractions for a woman. But I agree with you that more and more it is becoming apparent that a man's career drive - particularly when mission focused - is a significant factor of a man's attractiveness for women. These attributes of men's attractiveness can be, frankly, chalked up to hypergamy. I don't view the term hypergamy as an inherently damaging phenomenon. When viewed within the broader context of human survival and advancement, hypergamy has remarkable benefits to the human species. Yes, there is a dark side to hypergamy, and it is easy to see examples of women's unethical behavior. But overall, women pursuing men who can "provide and protect" is a healthy thing. Likewise, men pursuing physically attractive women is every bit as healthy for the human species. "Young attractive" women are not only more likely to survive childbearing to become nurturing parents, but they are also more likely to produce healthier children! Nature plus nurture is a win-win outcome. But again, there is a dark side to this phenomenon. Porn industries, Hollywood, product advertising, and social pressures hold a near-monopoly on the definition of attractiveness. These industries leverage attractiveness as a profitable commodity. Men need to take charge, and define attractiveness for their selves. I believe this produces greater satisfaction and happiness for men.

This is absolutely true. The problem is that women only find about 1 in 5 men physically attractive. Also, single and childless women in America make an average of 9k a year more than single and childless men. If you're a good looking man with a good job, then life is great. But if you're an average looking man, with an average job and predictable and average personality, then it's unlikely he will find a woman who adores him. The majority of men will remain single. And the majority of women will have to choose between remaining single or settling for a man that she's not really attracted to.

I believe that the roles can switch fluidly when they need to. Everyone wants to be adored and to be the adorer also. I think finding someone that can happily trade these two roles with is worth the effort. Lest you find your relationship to be lacking and find yourself asking a lot of questions. Believing something so black and white can be harmful as well. Pro tip, understand yourself first before trying to understand someone else. In other words, know what you want/need and know the difference of wants and needs. I encourage this of both genders. Too many people nowadays don’t know what they even really want and enter a relationship blind and end up hurting the other person because everyone’s idea of something important could be very unimportant to the other party. The key is to understand that it is a relationship. Therefore more than just you are involved and you are choosing to involve another person into your life and space. I have made this mistake and hurt people I cared about and I have also been hurt. Date yourself first before dating someone else and have boundaries and stick to them. Stand on what you say and what you need. The rest will work itself out as long as both parties are willing to work on themselves while also working on your relationship.

If it's always one person being the adored and the other being the adorer, the imbalance will eventually collapse the relationship. I don't believe though that if I am the adorer and my partner is the adored my love for them is more than their love for me, his love is coming from a different place as is mine. If he loved me less when I am being the adorer I would not want to be the adorer for fear of losing his love.

I’ve been on all sides of this. I never liked being adored because it makes you feel like you owe the person something and they may feel that way too. However, adoring someone else is more safe and comfortable. It’s like a reason to live and gives you a lust for life to be in the presence of someone you adore. I would say relationships seem to lack the most love and sexual passion without a man being adored. Men and women need adoration in different ways for different reasons. Balance is the best period.

I have been through a marriage and divorce, and I 100% agree that if the wives get bored the relationship is dead as she is no longer feeling anything. I also 100% agree that the wife should be the adorer but this is hard to achieve in reality because men have been brainwashed into the adorer role by Hollywood, TV, media, etc. Also, to be the adored, you can't be lazy, you need to be someone worth adoring. Men should really put more effort into being adored (rather than adoring). Your work could actually save so many marriages.

Great video. Really like the adored/adorer breakdown, but it's getting harder for this balance to exist in the current environment with the tendency towards casual sex and polygamy. Mens' hookup standards are lower than their relationship standards, so men who women view as 9s and 10s are casually hooking up with (but not committing to) women that are closer to 8s, 7s, and even 6s. These women then conflate their hookup value with their relationship value (a 7 sees herself as a 9, or at least thinks she deserves a 9). In the past, a woman that was a 6 or 7 could adore a 7 or 8. Now, she has so much sexual experience with upper tier men, it would take a 9 or 10 to inspire adoration.

Interestingly, the same study found that 94% of women rate their selves as being above average. Hard to believe, really, but it explains much.

I find this concept of either being the admirer or the admired a bit like believing that in a conflict: someone is right and the other is wrong. At the beginning of our relationship, we found ourselves in many random disagreements. Upon delving into them and doing a bit of research, we frequently found ourselves coming to the same conclusion: we were both right, about different aspects. I am so grateful for this pattern appearing in our life. I believe it broadened our perspective and helped us see the importance of humility and curiosity. If you see things different than I, I should very much like to better understand where you are coming from, even if only so that I may attain a greater understanding myself, regardless of who is "right" or "more right."

Then they gradually lost attraction for me, and NOW all my bad traits came to be too much, all the bad stuff (and I sure did some early on) became unbearable to them - yet they could easily overcome that in the "adoring" phase. Which is crazy to me: we men tend to take much much longer to love, but when we do, it's strong and real, yet instead of making it a stronger relationship, it tends to be the start of the end! I'm starting to think that in the past, relationships lasted only because of social pressure.

Nah, it's because there are three stages of love. In the first stage you find each other attractive. That's when you start dating and are getting to know each other. In the second stage you idealize each other, and start to accept some stuff you actually might dislike. Like if you never take out the trash and that bothers her, she will be more tolerant of your behavior in this phase. And in the last stage you accept them for who they are. If you can't, that's when the relationship ends. That's when you not taking out the trash for example starts to bother her. Because then she realizes that you'll never change. That's when the "bad stuff" becomes unbearable to them. While it was bearable in the second stage, when they were idealizing you as someone you are not. This is also why women like bad boys so much. They think they can change him. They can't. And miserably fail at that. And that leads to them breaking up. But it's fun for them while it lasts. Or if they succeed, they get bored with him. I also think that it often has to do with how mature a woman is. If she's still chasing bad boys, it feels like she hasn't outgrown her teenage phase. I wouldn't want someone like that to be the mother of my children.

I was in this exact situation. I dated a woman who was really into me but then I felt like I could do better and was not investing in the relationship as much as I should. I ended it saying she deserved someone who matched her energy. We didn’t align on core values so life would’ve been difficult with her.

This guy is totally right. Believe me, guys, just try. Don't chase any woman for at least two months. Just focus on your career, your studies, your work. Get better at it. Work out, read, listen to music. Be nice to the people around you. Help a friend. Try to dress well, get a haircut. Make a plan for your vacations. Set yourself some minor goals, it doesn't have to be anything fancy. You don't need to be rich. Women can smell that independence, I really don't know how, but they just know you are not needy and they love that. They start feeling a genuine interest in you, writing you messages first, asking how you are doing, etc. Which is good, because you have so many things to talk about, since there's so much going on in your life. Believe me, it works like a charm.

A simple way to put it is that women Date UP, and men Date DOWN. When things don't go this way, the relationship doesn't last, or the woman is always looking for a better man. When she finds him, she's GONE. Women want their superior, a man who is taller, stronger, funnier, smarter, wealthier, higher status, etc.

Yes. A lot of men aren't even aware that they aren't UP from the woman they are pursuing or they don't think this aspect matters. Add to this that men often don't know what they look like, tending to think they are better looking than they are and you'll have many rejected men who keep chasing women who aren't attracted to them.

Many thanks for this video. It kinda confirm my current situation is a good situation, even tho a bit unusual and somewhat new, but I still love it. I've tried both sides and there's litterally a different and nurturing dynamic when the lady is the adorer as opposed to the adored. And often when I was the adorer it would turn that I would be with women that are either emotionally unavailable or not as emotionally invested as I was. When the lady she's in a place of adorer, this is when the magic begins and where she can and will do wonders; not only do wonders but when giving back to she will appreciate and be already in a good place to receive as well.

This sounded depressing as hell. Why can’t we swap the roles? I would adore my wife at small moments when she evokes it in me and she does the same at her own leisure. Both parties have to have the self-esteem to not accept a relationship in which they don’t adore AND aren’t adored every once in a while.

♥️ This is one of the key requirements in a relationship! Can we have a PART 2 with specific EXAMPLES, ROLEPLAYS & SCENARIOS for different relationship settings: first dates, long term, casual hook-ups? e.g. It is Bob & Mary's first date. Bob gives Mary flowers and chocolates. He opens the door for her like the gentleman that he is. He doesn't know which diner to eat in so he defers to Mary. The date doesn't go well and Bob is left dumbfounded. After watching Dr. Taraban's videos, Bob realizes that he was putting Mary in a pedestal which robs Mary of the emotional experience. How should Bob ACT DIFFERENTLY without appearing TOO ALOOF & INDIFFERENT?

This is an excellent breakdown! From the RP community this would be "Men lead, Women follow" dynamic.

I hope this finds those less favorable of the RP community so they may come to understand RP, even if they still disagree.

I think there's some truth here. I'm 30 and I've been both adored and the adorer. The woman I adored, after some time I understood she was the wrong woman. Because I was unable to see her defects, I put her on a pedestal and made her the perfection rather than acknowledging her minuses. It was a crazy good relationship after all but it came to an end. Today I know I can get her back but for some reason I'm not willing to do so. Then for a year I've met with another woman, once a week, in the format of friends with benefits, just to enjoy the time together. But it was like a relationship altough I declared that I wasn't ready for one then. We were exclusive. She was fun and adored me. I left her. But I can't forget that feeling I had with her, that felt real, empowering but at the same time down to earth. Honestly I'm a bit nostalgic of her. That's when I understood how it's like to be with a well functioning woman. Now I believe that being the adorer for men isn't good, it's like smoke in the eyes, it's like being drunk, one can take dangerous decisions in that situation. And one can fill his head with bullshit that will take years to acknowledge and get rid of. Men must have control of the situation and they should refrain from flying too high.

Im glad I saw this. I feel more like the adored in my relationship buy my fiance is a very emotional person who wears her heart on her sleeve and forehead haha. I was thinking of myself as a bad person because some of her family and herself alone (and sometimes msyelf) would point out that they feel like she is more in love with me than I am with her which isn't true. She is just more expressive and affectionate than I am, and I am more relaxed and non-chalant but I would do just about anything for her and try my best to make her happy. I guess I show more through acts of service which im pretty sure is one of my love languages and her family doesn't always see that because they are never around all the time.

100% correct. Hypergamy is real. It's also consistent with biology.

Happens all the time. Great video.
