How can women possibly claim to have superior "emotional intelligence" to men?

[Laughing with Me]

That's because women naturally are more "sensitive" and "socially perceptive" because when they become mothers they need to be able to understand what their offspring try to communicate even when their offspring are unable to talk at all (babies by example) and only can use body movements and facial expressions. Women then use that ability in social contexts to understand what happens to other people without them talking about it, so the "female intuition" thing is born.

I know, that's basically what it says in the article I posted. But I do have to wonder if female psychics are actually more common (and how much so) than males ones

I would say that yes. Women are more open to the "feelings spirituality" and being a "psychic" is just that; men just don't care as much about it.

Also in psychic-related blogs and website there is the assumption that there are more females than males in such a business, like this one: https://www.californiapsychics.com/blog/psychic-tools-abilities/male-vs-female-psychics-2.html

Anecdotally, seems to me, more women, than men, especially in the medical field, have stepped up and challenged the COVID-19 narrative. "Whitecoats" is one such movement where a doctor, name escapes, lost her job in calling for hydroxychloroquine as a preventative. Dr. Delores Cahill is THE tower of power in condemning the narrative, is another one. Yet another is Pamela popper (tremendous), and on. All of these women have shown great resolve, and emotional intelligence by expressing their views, on this scam, in a professional, calm, dignified manner.

I do realize the above may not be popular with many of you...

I'm pretty cynical about this at my age. When you get older, you keep meeting different versions of the same type people over and over, so you're better able to see how they do what they do.

Women think they can read people better emotionally because they manipulate people better than men. When men talk facts, opinions, and ideas, they generally do so to get those points across. Women will often say things that are designed to get an emotional response. They then can "read" that response because they set up the scenario to begin with.

So, if you meet a woman and she starts talking (let's say) about her bra size or love for sex, you respond in a certain way. And, lo and behold, your response is no surprise to her. "Guys are so predictable!" she chirps. Hm...wonder why? It's almost like she planned that out.

The same goes for women who bring "damsel in distress" drama to the table right off the bat. Somehow, they were able to know you'd be there to rescue them. Imagine that. And so on.

Women have less physical strength, so they evolved to use emotional cunning to get what they want. Shame it took me so long to realize this.

Yep, you are right and at my age I have pretty much seen it all. I have been married three times, long term, on my third. I have learned many things about women. The emotional response game, button pushing is a favorite of women, learn it, see it, counter it. I have learned that many husbands or just men will not respond to a woman's conversation or talk, this is not because they are uninterested, though that could be the case, but because it always leads to a bad place. Talking to women is like playing chess, you need to be several moves ahead, you need to know that whatever you respond with can lead to some other door being opened, one you would rather not open. Don't just respond even if you think it is a correct or truthful response, think, what will that do? Where will that lead? Anything you say can and will be used against you.

My first wife was a master, I learned well. Talk about button pushing, boy howdy, she would slam both hands repeatedly on the keyboard until you blew a fuse. My second wife, thought she liked me because I was intelligent, turns out that was a bad thing. She was used to dumb guys that she could manipulate and it wouldn't work on me, learned from her some things but I was getting to a certain place, after her I had no intention of ever being in a relationship again. My third and present wife, she is so sweet, not so smart but a very good heart. She tried at first with games but gave up, I saw them coming before they even entered her mind.

Yeah, women think they can read you and sometimes they can but that is only because most of their readings are on the same kind of person, the men that they draw into their lives. Doesn't always work though. I had some woman read me in front of my wife, telling her all that was going through my mind, nothing good mind you. The funny thing and I did laugh out loud was, I wasn't thinking anything, which is common for me. I was listening to birds singing and enjoying the breeze on my face.

Self-absorption. They are so lacking in empathy that they project their feelings on to others, assuming everyone else is the same. Then, because they engage in a self-indulgent fixation on their own emotions, they assume they also know about everyone else's.

It's nice that we all get to agree with each other here, but let's not go crazy now!

Of course it's not as simple as saying "don't give them a reaction". There's more to it than that.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to hear a few of the more specifics in which your first wife tried to push your buttons. You can PM me if you want.

Power and the feeling of power. Nothing more to it.

But then why are there more fake female psychics than fake male psychics? (all psychics are fake as far as I'm concerned!).

What do you mean? I ment to respond to the original question posed by OP: The power and the feeling of power are the main sources of human interaction between each other in a purely social setting. Be it a woman insisting "muh women are queeens" or a man insisting "muh men kingzz" to impose their opinion/perspective that reaffirms their own feeling of power (be it real or not isin't important). The question isin't more complicated beyond looking into our natural biological laws, which majority of people tend to use as their modus operandi.

Which is to say: seeking complicated "psychological" "answers" to such "questions" is pure human vanity and masturbation. Whatever a person says to raise his/her own dominance is insignificant and shouldn't be taken with any more value than what it really is: a quest for power.

Oh right. I was just saying that seeing as it takes a lot of emotional intelligence to pretend to be a psychic, that it's an argument for why women claim to have better emotional intelligence, as well as your argument for their claim... that being for the feeling of power.

Emotional intelligence isn't the ability to be stoic - it's related to understanding emotions and interpreting them in real time. Think empathy.

In this definition, women are far more emotionally intelligent then men in most cases. Women are also far more socially intelligent than men in many cases, due to the fact that logic fails in the real world with beings that are by nature, emotional. Men have to learn about this if they want success in business, dating, and socially; I would argue it doesn't come naturally for 80-90% of men.

What do most women like to talk about? People.
What do most men like to talk about? Ideas and concepts.

The dark side of this is that women can be manipulative by their deep understanding of emotion. I know far more 'social climbers' that are women than men. Although with the overarching feminization of men, this line is getting blurred.
