10 Manipulation Tactics Men Use to Gain POWER Over You & Keep You Hooked! | Dr Orion PT 2

from Women of Impact

Welcome back to Part 2 of this unfiltered, in-depth conversation with Dr. Orion Taraban. After laying the psychological groundwork in Part 1, Lisa Bilyeu and Dr. Taraban dive even deeper, breaking down gendered attraction strategies, healthy relationship “marketing,” and why understanding the captain vs. passenger analogy could forever change the way you approach dating and love. In this segment, Dr. Taraban unpacks the mechanics of authentic vs. performative displays of competence, the profound importance of relationship “mission statements,” and why both partners should rigorously inspect what they’re signing up for before setting sail. The conversation doesn’t shy away from sticky subjects: sex, exclusivity, money, “testing” your partner, and how so many women mistake potential for reality. If you’re ready for raw, research-backed advice on navigating modern romance from a place of strength, you won’t want to miss this.
