1213: Orion Taraban | Understanding Relationship Economics Part Two
Manage episode 508354365 series 2596092
Relationships are more transactional than we admit. Psychologist Orion Taraban explains what men and women actually want versus what they say! [Pt 2/2 — be sure to catch Pt 1/2 here!]

What We Discuss with Orion Taraban:
- Dating apps heavily favor the top one to five percent of men, leaving many others with few matches, creating distorted perceptions of choice and desirability.
- Relationship power dynamics mirror economics — the more power one partner holds, the more they shape outcomes and get their needs met.
- Love and relationships differ: love is self-sacrifice, while relationships are transactional exchanges of unequal but comparable value.
- Social media distorts desires — women often pursue “doing it all” because that’s what they see others doing, even if the order of life choices blocks future goals.
- Actionable takeaway: Build strong, resilient relationships by focusing on reality, not ideals — plan strategies around what is, not what “should be,” and invest consistently in exchange and growth.
- And much more...
