Emotional Intelligence

[jhonny9546]

Lack of emotional intelligence means a man is highly reactive. That's a flat out beta trait to have.

That's generally how women behave, so if women are saying that men don't have emotional intelligence, what they're really saying is that men are sensitive and overly reactive to things that shouldn't bother them.

You're describing the majority of Italian guys here.
but

men aren't behaving like the rocks they're supposed to be.

this is actually when women here get crazy.
If you ever try to be non reactive,they'll actually ask you why're you doing so, making you doubt of your own "correct" behaviour.
Or just giving advice to you on how to become more reactive

This is something that these stupid zoomers and looksmaxxers etc can't understand and why women despise a lot of men today.

The concept you're looking for is called emotional fortitude.

Emotional vitality is the concept of how good or bad you feel. See my post https://www.sosuave.net/forum/threads/sanity-is-attractive-heres-how-to-do-it.280221/

Emotional fortitude is a virtue, emotional vitality expresses virtue, and emotional intelligence is pattern recognition of emotions (both yours and others).

I just watched Jordan Belfort being interviewed by Vlad Lyubovny (DJVlad/Vlad TV) and it's clear (imo) Jordan possesses tons of emotional intelligence, it's obvious by how closely he listens to every question asked, excellent eye contact, he's intuitive and skilled at reading people/the room etc.

Guy doesn't miss a trick!!

I can understand why he's so great at sales and why people got sucked in and fell for his manipulations and elaborate schemes!

He's also smart! He was discussing penny stocks and "pump and dump" techniques etc and I tried to follow but jeez! Extremely complicated stuff imo and I'm a fairly smart person!

Re: his character, people say you can't change one's character, you can fake having good character but it's a facade.

After watching/listening to this interview, I am not sure now because it seems Jordan during his Wall Street years, while insanely successful business wise, had piss poor character and would use any means he could whether ethical or not to manipulate, control, scheme in order to get richer!

Now 30 years later, after serving time and writing the book (which is an amazing story in and of itself as admittedly he couldn't write even a page to save his life!), he's done some major introspection and self-reflection, acknowledges mistakes, owns his shyt and the chaos he created, paid all the money back to investors and displays humility!

He appears to have done a complete transformation and is now a legitimate motivational speaker helping others!

OR is this just more pretending, more manipulation?

Another different facade?

Right here my dudes, is how you get a woman’s spidey senses tingling
