All of this “compete”, “level up”, and looks focused content is why people are so insecure and depressed. Imaging getting to your lowest weight, perfect body with money, and status and still don’t get the dates you want. They trying to curate a picture perfect life to get a picture perfect partner who doesn’t exist. Everyone has flaws and that’s ok. People actually prefer people who are themselves.
Imagine that perspective as a man, that was always taught to "work hard" by default. So basically for a lot of men, they went BEYOND the clal of duty to level up, did unforeseen sacrifices like giving up a good amount of time hanging out with family and friends, spend their time doing something that never interests them, finally get the $$$/ body image they deserve, only to get downplayed and say to "compete harder" after giving everything they had.
