(No) Hidden Information

The dynamics of relationships between men and women have undergone significant shifts in recent decades, driven by increased independence and opportunities for women. This shift in attitudes has impacted on dating culture, marriage rates and even the stork’s visits as people navigate these new relationship dynamics.

Traditional gender roles, once defined by men as providers and protectors and women as caregivers, are no longer black and white. In some modern cities, women are now expected not only to handle household responsibilities but also to contribute financially to their families, challenging traditional notions of gender roles. This shift has led to a reevaluation of women’s contributions to relationships, including their financial input. There’s also a growing sentiment among modern women that they don’t necessarily need men for financial or emotional support, as they are capable of being strong and independent on their own.

While gender roles are becoming more fluid, some aspects of traditional chivalry persist. Biological factors, such as the way women feel loved when receiving and men feel needed when providing, still play a role in relationship dynamics. And let’s not forget the ever-ticking biological clock, which may also influence the attitude towards relationships for some individuals.

As we move forward, how men and women find harmony and balance on this chessboard when information is becoming more hidden?
