Young women with high emotional intelligence more likely to be manipulative

Well, what else would they use it for?

People who are more social are better at being manipulators, who would have guessed!

...well, since it's a trait women are naturally better at, saying so is anathema to bluepillers.

What am I supposed to change. There isn't really anything to argue. I mean the study doesn't have a very good sample size or variables but I could believe the results.

If anything is proves that Red Pill are wrong with saying AWALT since there is a very definite difference between high EI women and women general EI.

I tried to look up how many women actually have high EI but couldn't find the stats. Anyone?

I always thought that Emotional IQ, rather than being a rival to the evil, unfashionable classic IQ, was a massive predictor of being a hardcore drama queen.

People use the tools available to them. I'm sure large/tall men are more likely to use intimidation than their smaller counterparts, and strong men are more likely to use physical force to get their way than weak men. Women don't have intimidation or physical strength in their toolbox, so they use their superior emotional intelligence to encourage favorable outcomes.

These women can manipulate men very easily. Pretty much explains the white knight/male feminist population.

buahaha, women don't manipulate shit. The guys who are used by women are the guys who let their dicks control them. A ton of guys complain women are manipulative but they are loathe to admit they did the shit they did to please women was in order to get laid, but if they don't get laid they start lashing out and saying women manipulated them.

As I have said before, college girls who are attractive will have the highest tendency to behave how TRP describes.

It's like you've never been in a classroom full of little girls. College aged girls use restraint; primary school aged girls do not.

It's probably a load of shit anyway:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence

The term gained popularity in the 1995 book by that title, written by the author, psychologist, and science journalist Daniel Goleman, but his model has been criticized within the scientific community.

Criticisms have centered on whether EI is a real intelligence and whether it has incremental validity over IQ and the Big Five personality traits.[11] Review finds that, in most studies, poor research methodology has exaggerated the significance of EI.[12]

If you're not good with people you're not going to get good results from attempting to manipulate people. So you stop and you attempt to find other ways to get by, if you've got any common sense.

winndixie · 2016-02-22T05:27:10+00:00

Nonsense. Women would never manipulate anyone, given skills like that, they'd all choose to use it for universal good, of course.

Emotional Intelligence isn't a bad thing... as a matter of fact, more people would benefit in the workplace if they had it. Here are some TEd Talks that delve into the Emotional Intelligence development process: http://bit.ly/1p50YvT

I'm more interested in the misleading way the information is presented. Based on the abstract, what the study found is that teenage boys with high EQ are less likely to engage in risky or criminal behavior than boys with low EQ, probably because they have a better ability to judge when something could get them in trouble. But teenage girls with high EQ are actually more likely to engage in risky behavior than low EQ girls. (The sample size is really small, so take it with a grain of salt.)

I don't even know how the psych blog turned that into "high EQ women are manipulative."

downunderit · 2016-02-18T09:00:48+00:00

Emotional intelligence is for people who think that feelings are more useful that intelligence..

Anyone who brags that they have a high emotional IQ should be avoided, as it means that they are, quite simply, an emotional idiot.
