Why are women considered the empathetic ones?

They are better at reading emotions, and emotional manipulation.

It levels the playing field as they're so much weaker physically.

That can be used positively, aka empathy, but can also be used viciously.

Men haven't had such an extreme need to be tuned in like that, so we're not.

Same reason your pets will know more about you than you will them.

Their lives depend on reading your emotional state.

They are not more empathetic, they're more emotional. Men think with logic, women prefer what wets their panties

Blue pilled thinking imagined it

Women are weak, even when able to better empathise with others ( scientifically proven fact ) , they are ignorant and unhelpful, they also don't have the same concept of honor and men do. So they can empathise with weakness but not value and honor strength.

Go through a divorce and you’ll see how empathetic they are. Everything you need to know about a women you learn from a divorce.

Who cares, tbh.

Most women these days are a waste of time.

Women are children

Distractingyou · 2020-01-25T06:49:55+00:00

Yh woman are only empathetic to their children

Most women are hypergamous, selfish, and narcissistic creatures. And they should be considering their shelf life is usually until 35 and they need to utilize every trick in their book to get a successful male for genetics and/or financial security. It makes sense from a evolutionary standpoint, not that I think it is morally right.

Source: my second ex-girlfriend dated me, her best friend's ex. Didn't matter how good a friendship them two had, she still sacrificed her friendship and made advances towards me. Then this same woman dumped me and got with a doctor and played the part of the good girl. This woman preferred anal sex and ATM, and she got with a doctor by playing the part of Mother Teresa. She secured the bag before her expiry date.

My ex fiance threw away a year plus relationship to sleep with an older man who played the role of a sugar daddy (who had a wife and kids of her own), who gave her cash incentives and vacations. All of a sudden all the memories we made together and the future we had planned didn't matter. They move on quick. I'm 31 with a white collar career, no kids, bright future. Another man with $$$ came in and took the chick. Can't say I blame him.

I wasn't redpilled before all my experiences: I was a blue pilled simp. And I definitely wasn't an incel: I had plenty of luck and lots of sex in my 20s. I was in the camp that you should believe women and that they weren't capable of lying and cheating.

The media portrays women as saints. It couldn't be further from the truth. As men, I wholly believe that in life the only woman who is truly capable of loving you is your mother.

Your girlfriend/wife will never truly love you. You are an asset for resource extraction to ensure her survival and her offspring. That's it. And if she can secure a male with better genetics, higher smv, and better finances, she will fucking do it.

It came from Hollywood movies, the same source of that apparently women are capable of romantic love while males are not, when reality is the exact opposite and males start relationships as fast as females can ruin them.

leotard-princess · 2020-01-25T12:56:38+00:00

Come on guys.

MEN LOVE WOMEN. WOMEN LOVE KIDS. KIDS LOVE PUPPIES. PUPPIES LOVE MEN.

Immuchtooawesome · 2020-01-25T16:50:35+00:00

Stereotypes always have a bit of truth to em.

Women are physically weaker and needed social intelligence to get ahead in life. This translates well into empathy or at the very least, emotional understanding.

red_matrix · 2020-01-25T18:24:18+00:00

Women are like butterflies. They float here and there. Often beautiful to look at and to be in their presence. But they leave on a whim and often will have no memory of you. Men will try to chase them, and they will fail. Butterflies have to come to you (you need to attract), not the other way around.

WiterS2 · 2020-01-26T01:09:38+00:00

Women have higher capacity for empathy towards children, other women and unknown people, but not toward men they have a relationship with.

Romantically, women want a dad that fucks them. They only care for themselves, unless there is something to gain.

What women give to a man they admire is respect, not empathy.

HumanSockPuppet · 2020-01-26T03:59:20+00:00

Because we're evolved to think so.

Very interesting to have read some people's responses to this, really I'm not sure how many of the comments are tongue-in-cheek.

The scientific literature around this issue seems to be inconclusive, but generally follows two notions:

-Biologically, women are hardwired to be more responsive to the emotions of others (e.g women react quicker to the cries of a baby than men)

-Culturally, women are expected to be more empathetic (and take responsibility for handling others emotions.)

Personally, I don't think it is a difference between men and women, I think it comes down to maturity. If you're mature, you'll have an understanding of how your behaviour affects those around you.

In terms of women being more 'cold' than men, and moving on more quickly - which I'm presuming is in reference to dating, I'd say this is not a universal truth. Of course some women are 'cold', as some men are 'cold' too. I think women are taught a lot more about understanding their own emotions than men, and will rely on support from friends a lot more than men might in terms of handling relationships. Because we're taught it's OK to talk about how you feel! So from an outsiders perspective it may seem like, as a woman has moved on more quickly, said woman did not care as much, but (and obviously it varies from situation to situation) it's more likely that she would have been through the motions of coming to terms with how she feels, leaning on others for support, and opening her heart up again a lot quicker than the man.

Obviously, some women are just plain bitches, but I don't think that's the majority.

I think dating in 2020 is becoming almost impossible, as men and women both feel victimised by the other sex, and tar them all with the same brush. A lot of the time, the people you choose to date is more of a reflection on you than anything else.

I'm also sorry, some of you seem to have gone through some really rough experiences. I just would like to emphasise that not all women are like this!!! And maybe instead developing a mob mentality of sorts, it might be beneficial to talk to women directly about why they may behave the way they do :)

They are only empathetic to their children, it's in the readings

Transport127 · 2020-01-25T11:16:19+00:00

They are just emotional, not emphatic

circlingldn · 2020-01-25T11:57:20+00:00

empathy means understanding how people feel, on average women can understand how people feel better than men

empathy does not equal being nice

pebblefromwell · 2020-01-25T12:15:44+00:00

Because they have crotch goblins

trpthrowaway224 · 2020-01-25T16:38:04+00:00

Women are more emotionally intelligent. Not necessarily displaying more emotion.

HurricaneHugues · 2020-01-25T18:40:37+00:00

Because men have always been onoy recogbized for their brutish strength and dominance, and women the ones who take care of children. The lie is that women are more empathetic than men because they're less aggressive and competitive and less judgemental. Yeah right... The most judgemental people are women.

MVWeiss · 2020-01-25T18:46:24+00:00

They lie.

IntelligenceLtd · 2020-01-25T11:59:43+00:00

you need to to go back to the dictionary empathetic doesnt mean nice (sympathetic is what you mean) it just means your able to understand someone elses perspective but this actually allows you to manipulate them more if you are so that way inclined. to be fair to women they have less of an ability to use direct physical force than the average, man and so place themselves in much more danger by being openly confrontational and assertive so a lot of them have evolved (or at least are cuturally conditioned) to be sneaky and in that way.
