Could you help me understand if my thoughts are correct regarding gender dynamics in dating as discussed in the episodes 215: Self-actualization, spiritual curiosity & choosing your “yeses” | Jen Hatmaker and episode #380: Take Accountability For Your Relationships: How to Do The Work with Sabrina Zohar? I feel that men have to work hard to gain social status and financial stability to attract women, while women are pursued regardless of their qualities. It seems like there are often many men interested in one woman, giving her the power to choose. I'm frustrated by the idea that men have to chase after women and navigate complex social games to gain their interest. I love women and don't want to have a negative mindset, but sometimes I can't help but feel this way.
