Part 7/9:
As women grow more successful and independent, the expectations they place on potential partners often escalate. While having standards is essential, some argue that overly stringent expectations can alienate valuable connections. Relationships require compromise and vulnerability, qualities that can be stifled by perfectionist mentalities.

The fear of vulnerability can create barriers, preventing genuine partnership offerings from being fully realized.
