Emotionally intelligent and kind men also want emotionally intelligent and kind women.

I don't want to say much more beyond this, but I don't think that ideal is the standard behavior for either sex. The common person wants someone better than them and they're not entitled to it.

I think the average woman is a lot more emotionally intelligent and kind than the average man.

If accurate then women on average will have to settle and men on average will be punching above their weight.

The average man or the average father?

Either? I’m surprised people don’t find it obvious that women have higher EQ on average. The kindness one may not be as visibly different.

Talking about differences between genders lands you in hot water quickly nowadays. People may simply wish not to discuss it or think it should not be discussed, hence the downvotes.

that’s interesting, I’ve always wanted people who were complementary to me, not strictly “better” - I want people I can learn from, and I hope to reciprocate and be someone my partner can learn from in turn.
