In short

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions and to recognize, understand, and influence the emotions of others. It involves skills like self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, and is crucial for success in both personal and professional life.

This was an ok article. I give it a 2.5 out of 5.
I will give it points for the bold headline and the variety of women they quoted.

I will deduct points for the lack of originality in subject matter (dating pool complaints are DEFINITELY not new from either side).

I'm neutral on the structure because it seems they just shared feedback from one woman before going to the next.

So yeah, 2.5 chairs (is it chairs now?) out of 5

But you used the headline as a thread title when nothing the women said in the article actually spoke to it? 🤔 You got caught by a bullshit headline, missed that the article didn't actually allude to that and tried to take us down to hell with you. Lol.

Oh, I see where the disconnect is

I literally just used the title of the article for the thread

The hope as always is for people to read the information and let's have a discussion about it

Yeah, that's what happened, but not in the direction you were hoping for.

‘Men seem to make life for women worse’: single US women share the woes of dating in 2025

Here’s why some women feel like there’s little hope in the current dating pool of men – if they’re still in the market for one

So now you wanna be disingenuous and treat niggas like they dumb.

Explain to me what premise it was that you agreed with and what you wanted to discuss there after.

I'm not being disingenuous at all

Maybe you missed it but this is what I was agreeing with

Many of the responses were surprisingly similar. The most frequently listed qualities women said they were looking for in a partner were kindness and emotional intelligence, mental and physical health, shared values, ambition and being “hardworking”, financial stability, masculinity and maturity, and a willingness to commit to an equal, monogamous relationship as well as, in many cases, having a family.

And

One of the phrases respondents used the most was that they were looking for a partner capable of “adding to” or “enhancing” their life – as in, someone who was entirely self-sufficient and capable of adding romance, children or a unique intellectual connection to their lives. A large number of women complained about past suitors who had been “lacking effort” or “unable to keep up”.

And this is just from the first few paragraphs.

Yes, niggas need to do better. I come on this very board everyday and read some of the most sexist shit I encounter in a week so it's not like I'm making shit up

And by niggas, if it doesn't apply, let it fly. But I'll be more specific and say men in general need to be better. That's not to provide cover for women who aren't up to par but I am going to charge men with being better in areas where they lack
 
Im the last person to be on some gender wars shit but the article would have better been suited being titled "women are having trouble finding suitors in their respective dating pools" or some shit like that.

First thing 3 of yall did was come in here acting sassy for no reason. @SeaSnake probably never bothered reading it, Craig Robinson told us we were wrong before any of us said a word and you @AP4.0 missed that the article didn't actually allude to its claim.

I'm not going to argue about the title. Is it responsible journalism? Maybe not

Did it get me to click? Yes. I named the thread after the title of the article which most posters tend to do when including the article in the OP.

This isn't a sticking point for me. I agree the title could've been better received if it used the wording you suggested

My larger points still remain
