Part 3/8:
Echoing a study from the '90s, the narrator highlights a distinct difference in what men and women seek in potential partners. Whereas men evaluated women more flexibly, women tended to prioritize high-status males. This difference arguably sets the stage for unrealistic expectations. It has brought forth a culture heavily influenced by celebrity standards, with women feeling pressure to conform to unattainable beauty ideals propagated by media figures such as the Kardashians. This fixation on perfection can create tension in dating dynamics, leading to discontent among men who feel overshadowed by such expectations.
