The article highlights the double standards in heteronormative relationships where men are expected to build their value through success, while women's worth is often tied to their appearance. This leads to pressure on men to continuously pursue external validation and on women to preserve their perceived value, which contributes to stress and insecurity for both genders. Men often feel inadequate without achievements, while women struggle with societal pressures regarding beauty and fertility, leading to unrealistic expectations and emotional challenges.
