Are my thoughts about gender dynamics in dating, based on the episodes Dr. David Buss: How Humans Select & Keep Romantic Partners in Short & Long Term | Huberman Lab #48, episode 573: David Buss | When Men Behave Badly, as well as the clips Understanding Sexual Conflict and Mating Crisis Insights, 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.
