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.
