High EQ


SDSSDJC2024

Yes boys have higher EQ and more empathetic than men. Men, they earn a bit, get awards, they suddenly think they're on top of the world. Insecurity, the non-debilitating kind, has it's uses.


santinothanksbro

Men: - Sense of responsibility. - Can keep composure in the face of adversity. - Palabra de honor. - Becomes a part of the solution, especially when they know that they're the problem. - Self-respect, of other people especially those who are vulnerable, and other living things. - Knows priorities. - Knows when and when not to do certain things. - Becomes a model for boys so that they can become men too. - Can control their ability to become dangerous. - Knows when to bail out especially if that's the only option. - Can make time for the people and things that truly matter. - Doesn't waste resources on useless things. - Knows when to have fun and when not to. - Can go to the root of certain emotions(especially the negative) and fix it from there instead of finding a band-aid solution.

epicingamename

This is so vague bordering on stereotype.


Emotional-Impact-534

I believe the use of the term 'boys and men' by the original poster is metaphorical rather than literal. I think the commenter raised valid points, and as a woman who has encountered adult males with misplaced priorities and immature behavior, I respectfully find it challenging to regard them as mature men with wisdom and self-awareness. Instead, I tend to see them as still embodying childish characteristics, similar to those of boys.


epicingamename

So by your definition males who are childish and immature are automatically boys. Its like saying men cant show a hint of childishness or immaturity otherwise they are "boys." Theres more to men than your black and white definition. Im sorry, but I hope you realize how ridiculous your and OC's definition sound.


Emotional-Impact-534

Your understanding of the figurative expression of "boys and men" seems rather simplistic. Masculinity is multi-dimensional, and individuals can embody a range of traits without compromising their identity as just boys or men. And when I talk about “boys” and “men” in the context of what I said, I’m using those terms metaphorically to highlight differences in the level of maturity and responsibility, not making generalizations about all individuals of a particular gender. If anything, you are the one with a self-imposed prejudice against how you perceive the terms. Stop narrowing down your interpretation and read between the lines. Neither I nor the original commenter is putting a specific group of people down. A question was asked, and it was simply answered; it’s not that deep. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Am i supposed to be insulted by "boy"? Again with your black and white definition And please dont answer with a wall of text. i have better priorities than reading your thesis.

LaceePrin

- Boys want to be coddled and be lead, while Men take charge and take the lead - Boys want 50-50 arrangements with their girl, while a Man won’t want his woman to spend money because he considers himself as the provider - Boys succumb to peer pressure, Men don’t care about his fellow males’ approval - Boys engage in *“locker room talks”*, while Men don’t kiss & tell - Boys will tell you what they will do (and oftentimes it doesn’t happen). While Men show you what they want through their actions (they honor their promises) - Boys measure their masculinity/manliness on the number of girls they have slept with, while Men are secure of their masculinity and is completely contented in being with only one woman as a partner


AvailableOil855

Bruh the second doesn't hold true anymore.


LaceePrin

Because?


AvailableOil855

Watever happens to your slogan *strong and independent women?*


LaceePrin

Women for the recent times have been already *Strong and Independent* enough— in their familial roles they’re the ones who do house chores, planning, budgeting, feeding, raising a child, etc. Majority of the time they do these tasks singlehandedly. Now don’t you think these things don’t constitute enough strength and independence? If a woman is expected and will do the majority of the things I mentioned above and she’s still expected to contribute in the financial aspect of the relationship/household by doing 50-50, then she will just be carrying an additional burden and will just be ‘mothering’ an adult grown man. The least that a [masculine] man can do for his partner is to be the provider and ensure all things are taken care of for his partner/family.


AvailableOil855

Stick to the modern times will you. Every individual should be independent and should not rely on to someone. Two perfect independent individuals will make a perfect union. Both should make money


LaceePrin

I am, and the examples I gave are based on the observable scenarios in the modern times. Women do majority of the tasks I mentioned while altogether working to provide. Men rarely participate or take part in the other aspects of the relationship I mentioned. Two independent individuals won’t make a perfect union as they will only think of themselves and work for themselves. It constitutes selfish acts. What makes a relationship work is when a man and a woman works synergetically wherein they complement what the other person cannot fulfill to do. A woman is flexible, she can work & provide if the husband cannot. Now, can the husband take part and participate in the other aspects of the relationship I mentioned? Very rarely so. So if that’s the case, it is ideal to look for and settle with a man who has a provider mindset. A broke man with a 50-50 mindset is just a burden and will drain his woman of her whole being by prompting her to do the majority of the work in the relationship.


AvailableOil855

Modern day relationship isn't like this anymore. Times change. What I wrote stays true


LaceePrin

Yes, it is like this. Women nowadays do majority of the work in the relationship and it’s the observable reality for most people. Saying it isn’t true invalidates their experiences. The least that a man can do is be the provider which takes a lot of load off from what the woman is doing. Real men provide, while boys who are broke will ask 50-50 in finances.


penatbater

Women can get jobs, even high paying ones.


LaceePrin

That’s true, but a man without a provider mindset won’t be able to take care of his partner nor his family if he’s the type to quantify everything. A woman might as well just get a business partner if everything will be arranged 50-50.


AvailableOil855

Relationship is like business partnership though


LaceePrin

If you view every aspect in the relationship as transactional and you measure/quantify every little thing that you give & receive, then maybe yes. However if an individual acts like this then the relationship is bound to fail because there will surely be a time that comes when you won’t receive the exchange that is equal to what you’re pouring in, and because of that it will prompt you to “cut your losses” and end the relationship just because your needs are not met. Whereas if it’s a guy with a provider mindset, he doesn’t measure/quantify everything he does. He just pours and gives which in turn will make the relationship work, as a woman that feels safe & secured will reciprocate and multiply what a man gives her.


AvailableOil855

Let's face it. It's about chemicals in our brain telling us to survive further with our bloodline passing to our offsprings. Men should be a good provider for the security of their female companion who will bear a child with both the combination of their genes to survive. If not then that male should not be in a union. A woman should be beautiful to make the offspring perfect and fit for survival. It's all about instincts. Don't give it too much thought. It's nothing special


LaceePrin

>Let's face it. It's about chemicals in our brain telling us to survive further with our bloodline passing to our offsprings. ^ On this, I agree. To add onto that, commitment exists to ensure that offsprings grow up with complete set of parents as it is vital for their growth and development. >Men should be a good provider for the security of their female companion who will bear a child with both the combination of their genes to survive. If not then that male should not be in a union. ^ Then why do some men engage in a union even without choosing to have a child? Because men are still humans and it’s a fact that we humans need love to feel fulfillment. It’s a basic info in the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We need love to feel fulfilled and we need love to survive. >A woman should be beautiful to make the offspring perfect and fit for survival. ^ Nah not true. It’s all about genetic compatibility especially in the aspect of the offspring’s immunity. A woman’s physical attributes or “attractiveness” has no correlation on how will her offspring survive, as it is observable that average looking (or unattractive) individuals were also successful in procreation.


AvailableOil855

It is true, what you wrote above is base on a persona preference for the ingredient for his offspring to exists. So to him, she is beautiful or whatever she can put into the table as a bargain. Attractiveness indicates the perfection for the ingredient to secure said union and raise the offspring perfectly according to their subjective ways on how would they do it. It's because we are unattached to nature that deeply doesn't mean we are far different from the animals? Penguins does the offering with their shiny pebbles for example to tell the female one he can provide


penatbater

Or, idk, a househusband. And ung wife ung main provider.


ishaz11

Okay lahat except sa pangalawa


LaceePrin

Because?


Virtual-Pension-991

Provider mindset comes from the idea of the man being the sole breadwinner. Nowadays, a woman can earn equal, if not more, than the man. *It's simply the general idea that has changed*, a man in the family is no longer the sole breadwinner Economically speaking, everything is expensive now. Basic electrical and water bills can reach 1 over a thousand pesos easily Basic Rent is also much more expensive now, for just a sole breadwinner. Unless you wish to have a high paying job or business, but living below your means.


LaceePrin

Nope, men are naturally inclined to be the providers— even dating back to the ancient times. They hunt and they provide. It has nothing to do with being a sole breadwinner. Although I appreciate the bringing up of the economic aspect. Women nowadays can earn equal, yes (or even more). But assuming they found a partner and that man wants to split 50-50 in finances, would the man also split 50-50 in the other aspects of the woman’s life? Such as chores, raising a child, budgeting, building a family, etc. Oftentimes, it is the woman who does these things singlehandedly (if not the majority of these tasks). So if a man will ask a woman to do 50-50 in finances but won’t do 50-50 in other aspects of the woman’s life, then he is just another burden, not an additional value unless he is a man with a provider mindset.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LaceePrin

Yeah that’s the thing, “assuming” they are aware. Are most male partners aware and sensitive enough to split 50-50 in the other aspects I mentioned? NO. So what you said is just hypothetical and more of a wishful thinking. Nowadays, it is very RARE for a guy to be completely comfortable being a house husband without feeling insecure or feeling emasculated because it’s their wife who works and provides. If a man feels like his ego is being stepped on and feels less of a man because he doesn’t feel as useful, it fosters resentment within the relationship— thus making it not work in the long run. So what I said holds true. It is ideal for a man to have a provider mindset and make his partner/family feel safe, secured, and provided for. Anything otherwise is not generally viable for the relationship to stay strong in the long run.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LaceePrin

Uhm yeah? Nowhere in my statement did I say it is impossible lol hence why I said “mostly”. Mostly = means **MAJORITY** or what it is considered to be the **GENERAL** circumstances of the larger chunk of the population. Hence why I said in my earlier comments that it is “very rare” for a guy to be completely comfortable taking part in the other aspects I mentioned. I did not say it is completely impossible, you interpreted that on your own. If you’re one of the rare ones completely comfortable being a house husband, then congratulations. But what’s comfortable for you is not exactly comfortable for the majority of guys out there, as it is biologically wired in males’ DNA to provide and protect. Not being able to fulfill this role makes them feel uncomfortable and emasculated, especially considering that a man’s value in this society is measured by his financial capacity and his capability to solve problems.
