- sublinear 4y agoEmotionally intelligent and kind men also want emotionally intelligent and kind women. I don't want to say much more beyond this, but I don't think that ideal is the standard behavior for either sex. The common person wants someone better than them and they're not entitled to it.

- paulryanrogers 4y agoIf accurate then women on average will have to settle and men on average will be punching above their weight.
- sublinear 4y agoThe average man or the average father?
- fauxpause_ 4y agoEither? I’m surprised people don’t find it obvious that women have higher EQ on average. The kindness one may not be as visibly different.
- chmod775 4y agoTalking about differences between genders lands you in hot water quickly nowadays. People may simply wish not to discuss it or think it should not be discussed, hence the downvotes.
- mock-possum 4y agothat’s interesting, I’ve always wanted people who were complementary to me, not strictly “better” - I want people I can learn from, and I hope to reciprocate and be someone my partner can learn from in turn.
- macrolocal 4y agoI don’t buy this gender dimorphism. For starters, immature and manipulative women are about as common as immature and manipulative men.
- lr4444lr 4y agoSo those hard numbers on online dating site reach outs by women for guys >= 6'0 and six figure professions is what, fake? Cherry-picking?
- nawgz 4y agoThink about it for a second pal. Men are famous for hitting on women. Men are even more famous for doing this behind screens, like thru DMs or Tinder. Women WILL be pursued by every man that wants them. Then, the women already has loads of guys who aren't at the top echelon of attractiveness, so naturally when THEY initiate, it's to people who wouldn't initiate with them. It's literally the same reason you could easily see dudes trying to swipe on women better than them: people want to date someone "out of their league"
- bloqs 4y agoYour comment is deliberately omitting the other half, and I'm open to correction: while they might want the former, what is more desirable, is higher social status, regardless of emotional profile. Kind men who are not socially respected, and who do not offer resource security are largely sidelined as uninteresting. With good reason, too.
- antibasilisk 4y agothis is overwhelmingly not the case, they actively look for terrible men because they enjoy the drama. pain is better than boredom etc.
