I have a question about this episode SEX RECESSION: The Dangers Of Modern Dating & Why NOBODY Is Having Sex Anymore | Emily Morse and this Navigating Intimacy Dynamics. Could you help me understand if my thoughts about gender dynamics in dating, as discussed in the episode 'Can Men & Women Be Friends Again? - James Smith | Modern Wisdom Podcast 505' and the clip 'Gender Dynamics Unpacked,' are 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.
