Vague phrases like emotional intelligence are often being used as a euphemism for other things unfortunately, for example, women are drastically less likely than men to be politically tolerant. So this can simply be women saying they only want to date very liberal men, but they don't want to phrase it like that because it sounds bad, so they decide that liberalism is the same thing as emotional intelligence (the liberal mindset seeing itself as more empathetic, in touch with other people's emotions). https://unherd.com/thepost/is-wokeness-killing-the-marriage-market/ https://unherd.com/thepost/is-wokeness-killing-the-marriage-... Two of the most important trends in American life are the increasing tendency for women to identify as liberal, and the increasing intolerance shown by liberals to their ideological opponents. These trends are no doubt related, since women are more ideologically intolerant than men. Put together, they spell trouble for the future of marriage in the US. [...] the 2020 American Perspectives Survey revealed that 79% of Democratic women and 48% of Republican men would be unwilling to date someone with a different view of Trump. No discussion of dating trends can be complete without this.
