Part 2/10:
Men are increasingly questioning the reasons behind their relentless pursuit of women. The landscape has changed dramatically; what once represented romantic effort has morphed into a frustrating game of emotional labor with minimal rewards. The argument suggests that if men face a bare minimum effort from women, why should they continue to chase?
Historically, the culture surrounding dating portrayed a time when men had to earn the right to get close, often through serious commitments. Fast-forward to today, and many men feel disillusioned, discovering that not only are they expected to chase after women, but they receive little reciprocation or respect in return. The emerging narrative argues that men are seeking peace and self-respect over a tumultuous quest for approval.
