Are my thoughts about gender dynamics in dating, as discussed in episode 681, "Saying No to Say Yes: Healthy Boundaries in Modern Love with Mark Groves + Kylie McBeath," and the clip "Gender Dynamics Explored," accurate? 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.
