I've consulted many men who were recently given the marriage ultimatum by their girlfriends, and who were legitimately conflicted about how to proceed. In this episode, I explain how getting more of what one wants is inversely related to both men and women's use of pressure in relationships. In particular, I note that any woman who gives this ultimatum is confessing that she loves what she wants more than she loves you. It's not personal, it's just business.

After all, it's much easier to remain loyal to one's perceived best interest.

What a childish position. Any mentally healthy woman needs security and clarity to have a happy relationship with a man and have her love blossom for him, because she will be the one getting pregnant. This is evolutionary psychology not business. A woman must love truth of her nature above all and not be a slave to man who tries to break down her biology just because he needs an extra ego boost. If you are a guy who don’t know what he’s doing with his life, just be a decent person and let that woman go. I don’t even know what to love a guy like that for? Women love guys who know what to do with them and life. Women are on the biological clock and our eggs become worse quality with every year passed. One year is enough to decide whether you want to marry her and have a family with her or not. If a woman has to pose a marriage ultimatum, it means that there has not been any meaningful development between you for years and it is a man’s fault. It is not fair or decent to hold a woman who has hope for the near future in such a fruitless and vague relationship.

the latest science on female desire has proven that you cannot beat biological programming... & after 3-5 yrs, romance plummets.... 20years ??? ... we've all been kidding ourselves, except maybe the French. ... Psychologist & Primatologist Dr. Kim Wallen (EmoryU Atlanta), has shown in his Rhesus monkey compounds, that female monkeys run the show wrt every aspect of monkey life, they are the Generals in War, the head of politics, they initiate ALL Sex, they do all the Objectifying & don’t hesitate to abandon their children to chase after various objects of desire .. they're basically *RAW*. Male monkeys on the other hand, tend to live to the side of family life & are SWAPPED OUT after ~3 yrs…why ? bc female monkeys get too bored to have sex w them (~3.5yrs in the wild) ... sound familiar ? If it does, no need to ever beat yourself up. Again, just don’t forget, gym/haircut. [there is no mystery based on what science has recently uncovered] [ See Daniel Bergner's 2013 TedX talk/Book "What do women really want" where he writes about 8 yrs worth of interviews w female & male researchers & scientists on the topic of female desire, a great read.. & likely a disturbing read for most uninformed men.. sidenote, why does the french culture embrace Mistresses? ... food 4 though :) ]

Looks quite the opposite to me. All of you are complaining about having lost material goods in divorce court. You are completely excluding the experience you had with the woman as though it counts for nothing. You are the ones looking at marriage purely as a business deal. You provided material goods and expected that to be your only concern. You reaped what you sowed. It could have been so much more and probably wouldn’t have ended if you had been contributing all the rest of the things that make a lovely and bonding experience for you both. Men receive testosterone brain damage in the womb and again at puberty. This makes them very bad at relating and feelings of others,

@Nitrodamous -- As a man, I can try to understand a woman's side. Her childbearing age is limited. No woman should wait till 40 before giving birth. Ideal motherhood age for healthiest possible first child is 18-25 . If her man does not even give her the hope with specification of the expected marriage date, then she needs to break up with him right now, because she needs to find a new boyfriend, then she needs to get him to marry her and then have his children. That could be a 3-5 year process. So, she needs to give the ultimatum. Love is an emotion that clouds the judgement to see the hard reality. Women are better off postponing love until marriage. A woman's biological purpose in life is to give birth to babies using seeds from high quality men. Human species' continuation depends on that.

all good points. If you ultimately don't want a family and children, don't get into a relationship with a woman who ultimately wants a family and children. Obviously, if you get in a relationship with her, she will treat the relationship as a pre-amble to the marriage, family and raising children, and manipulate you, consciously or subconsciously, to get to that next stage. The typical scenario for several decades has been that the guy really likes the woman, but isn't looking to start a family; he dangles in front of her the possibility of starting a family, to keep her companionship. Meanwhile, the woman provides her companionship but dangles the possibility of ending it if she isn't granted what she ultimately wants - family and children. It's a game on both sides, and when you think about it, quite ugly or at least distasteful. How can the guy, who wants to stay a bachelor, solve this on his end? Very simple. Be very clear, from the start, that you fully intend to be a bachelor. If the woman's goals are very different, she'll stay away from you.

When a woman offers an ultimatum, the relationship is over. When you get an ultimatum, you have three options: 1. You give in. Now she knows what button she can press to get whatever she wants from you. 2. You negotiate. Now she knows you are willing to negotiate with terrorists and she ups the intensity until she finds your captulation point. 3. You call her bluff.

in theory and as an ideal yes it is. In practice i saw and heard of not so sacred stories. Engaged women cheating, men going to thai-massages, hookers etc. before and after the marriage happens. The common denominator IMO is a feeling of business, FOMO-feelings, oportunism and often lies. Those guy friends who married, where often the ones with a strong feeling of "she is not so ideal, but I cant get any better, and I want a wife and children (some to please their mums expectations)- so I take that suboptimal woman who kind of loves me and make the deal" (Then often cheat). Those "bad guys" who dont give in to these ultimatums, are often far more romantical idealists. They often dont give in, because she does not hold up to their expectations of a woman with sufficient wife qualities (loyal, honest). Under the risky circumstances of 80% divorce through women, we have to have high standards. Otherwise - wouldnt that be just a lil bit stupid?

Hm this is spot on advice, even admits to the darker side of men psychology. Well done, Dr :) This is a good example of why it's in the best interest to get with a woman has similar values to you: You will never find someone whose match yours perfectl, it's to make sure they *do not* contradict. If her high value is marriage, and yours is not, that's a contradiction- the relationship won't survive long-term.

"Women only become pushy about marriage because they aren't getting anything else from the relationship" - what? No, a woman who wants marriage commitment and kids, and tells her partner that, is just a normal traditional woman in love. If she expresses that wish and her partner is on a different page, it's normal to ask that question a few more times before deciding to have a painful breakup and move on to someone who wants the same thing.

Kindness trumps intelligence, it doesn’t matter how intelligent he is, if he’s not nice then it won’t matter, she needs a husband that likes her and is kind to her.

This is absolute truth. I once had a girlfriend that I loved very much. But we’ve only been together for a year when she asked me if I would marry her (no timeline, but it was implied that it better be soon). I hesitated in saying yes, and she cried inconsolably for many hours. This reaction scared the shit out of me, and I just got completed turned off on the relationship so we broke up shortly after. She was pretty much perfect, except for this one anxiety about getting married (and she was young, below 30). The big irony about this whole thing is that if we had just continued the same way for another year or two without the marriage pressure, I would have eventually proposed. I would send her this video, but I got a strong feeling that she wouldn’t get it and probably take it as a personal attack on her values and feelings. Oh well. Lesson learnt and we’ve moved on. I hope she’s found the right guy who will marry her.

I always appreciate Orion’s perspective on things. Many aren’t exactly applicable to me, but I have 5 boys so I’m still concerned with these issues that aren’t. There are women who want a certain lifestyle (they want to marry the lifestyle as someone else put it), but there are also women who want to protect their hearts. As men, we have to distinguish between the two. While it’s completely sane to be frustrated with toxic American women today, it’s not healthy to just lump every woman together or to dismiss a woman instinctively understanding that at some point, if a man loves her, there will be an offer of exclusivity to their relationship. Likewise, there are men who want a certain lifestyle, but there are also men who know deep down the woman isn’t someone he’d want to be with long-term. Women are going to believe they’ll change your mind even if you’re up front with them about not seeing them as a viable long-term fit for you, but I still think it’s better to be honest upfront. I’m not going to shame a woman for wanting to protect her heart. Voicing wanting to get married after a certain amount of time is a test to see if her intuition is right, IMO. Maybe not for all women, but I do believe so for the genuine ones.Whether or not modern marriage is the proper vehicle for a woman’s need for security/proof of a man’s commitment is a different discussion. But it’s only right that one party is paranoid about whether the other party truly loves/wants them or “the thing.” If a man said “put out or get out,” many would laugh and cheer in agreement, quite hypocritically, and lacking the self-awareness to prevent the irony of his disgust or anger about the female version of this (wanting a sign of exclusive long-term commitment). At this point, the dating scene is just a perpetual cycle of wounded people wounding people.

If a woman is giving you the "need marriage" ultimatum you can be confident that she doesn't love you enough. When a woman truly love you and love the life you give her then she will never give you this ultimatum. My Lady is free to go if she wants, she know this. I've been married before for almost 20 years and you think i will make that mistake again 🤣 You need to provide value for her and then you will never have to endure this ultimatum bullshit.

If a woman pushes you to marry her, it means that she's not getting other things from you. If a man pushes you for sex so much, it means he's not getting other things from you. Hence, the best strategy is to diversify what you provide to your partner whether it means resources, attention, good sex, knowledge, status or companionship. More often, a person who's satiated will not be looking elsewhere. I've never thought of heterosexual relationship dynamic this way. Thanks Dr Orion for the valuable insight.

Man, what you're saying is so true. I discovered this traits after dealing with and going through a toxic relationship. I ended up asking her for marriage, but oh boy, was I not able to sleep at night. I can say now that only God helped me get out of that relationship and I am feeling way better and at ease, not worried that in the future I will (maybe) have to have a divorce. Peace!

This is a fundamental incompatability. I have been through this exact situation and it was hell. I still struggle with missing my ex-girlfriend but at the end of the day I felt like she was in the driver's seat of the direction my life was heading in completely, and I had to go along with it or she would leave. I simply did not want to marry and have kids when she wanted me to. I wanted to want it, because I didn't want to lose her. Although as much as I loved her by the end of the relationship and four years living together we were already like an old couple you see at restaurants barely talking to each other, and it was painfully stale. I was not enjoying it at all anymore. I simply couldn't imagine continuing the relationship for decades on end, let alone bring marriage and kids into the equation. I knew if I gave in to her ultimatum I would be miserable, and the relationship would end in utter misery and resentment and the urge to get out, and I did not want to put my children through a divorce like I was put through when my parents divorced.

I WAITED for my wife to complete her residency & fellowship 1st. So she could start working as an M.D.. We agreed and got engaged a few months after she started working as a doctor. That was 19 years ago. Our marriage has worked out great. FYI - She loved that I helped her study for tests. Sidenote: We both agreed neither of us wanted children

Yes. Thank you for this one. My last serious relationship, sex was the last thing on my mind. And she pushed for it sooner than I wanted. And then the pressure for marriage started about a year later. And it is exactly as you have framed it here.

Here’s another way to think about it: if you’re with a woman you don’t want to marry, that means that there’s a woman out there somewhere that you really DO want to marry because you can’t live without her and you’re terrified someone else will marry her and take her off the market. And so you’re wasting your time settling for the woman you don’t really want to be with. Instead of settling, you need to level up and stay single for a while so that you can devote all your time and resources into becoming a better man so that you can attain your dream woman. Neither men nor women should ever settle. Men and women should become the best versions of themselves so that they can live up to their full potential and find their dream partners. Marriage is supposed to benefit both men and women.

Well, we can't keep saying men are more logical if they know the risks and still marry. The game is the game and if you bend the knee to her ultimatum, you forfeited your masculinity. How is she going to trust and follow you, if you caved to her on an ultimatum?!?!?!
@veritatepax

agree to a degree only. The logical part of the giving in despite the risk and our best interests is the fact, that many just want: 1) to keep that woman; 2) do kind of want to marry one day anyways; 3)it's a unnecessary burden, but still it often must be overcome to get the peace of being settled down with the prospect of children with a woman he loves. 4) some are just dumb, desperate, have fomo or cant be alone - and of course are fearful of not getting any better.

As a woman my wealth is growing 12-15% every year…. What does that have to do with anything? There are a lot of successful women having to watch out for money grubbing controlling men. Friend warned me about men…. They either want ‘a purse or a nurse’ if you are successful. But 9 months into a marriage to a fully grown man…. With a prenup to protect both of us.

@@jeanr8359huge difference. Men will still spend the majority of discretionary funds while dating. For every 4th spend by a woman will pick up the 5th. Let’s not be self referential and go with how most relationships work and the norm. Once a relationship is established, as the trope goes “your money is my money and my money is my money.” Your money will stay with you. Again don’t be self referential you are the exception.
