Could you help me understand if my thinking is accurate regarding the idea that men have to work hard to gain social status and financial stability to attract women, while women are pursued regardless of their qualities, as discussed in the episodes "Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life | Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying | EP 216," "Bowerbird Behavior Insights, Exploring the Cultural Impacts of Patriarchy with Elise Loehnen | #252 | Kelly LeVeque," and "758: David Buss | The Evolution of Desire," as well as the clip "Mating Crisis Insights"? 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 love women and don't want to have a negative mindset, but sometimes I can't help but feel this way.
