Why am I feeling resistance to being vulnerable with other people after listening to the episode "From Broken & Divorced To Confident Badass: 'I Changed My Life Once I KNEW THIS'" with Sonja Stribling and the clip "Vulnerability and Trust," as well as episode #110: "Relationships are Meant to be Hard" with Sheleana Aiyana and the clip "Understanding Emotional Defense Mechanisms"?
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.
