EI has nothing to do with being a bimbo.
you could have a PHD in astrophysics and still have low EI.
or you could need velcro shoes and have high EI.
where does 'bimbo' come into it?
I was thinking this too. EI is different from IQ. I've taken both kinds of tests and consistently come out with a high IQ but low EI. And I love sex! :smile: As for 'bimbo', I think of that as a particular type of woman - one who is attractive (possibly through "surgically enhanced means" though and fake-y looking, but not necessarily), but not too bright (in the IQ sense, not necessarily the EI sense). And yes, there are men who are this way too, someone mentioned "himbos"... they're the guys who look good but are not too bright. I dated a himbo once, a long time ago. :biggrin1: He thought science fiction was the name of a movie and that alternative rock was the name of a band. I had to chuckle over that. We only had one date though. And no, I never found out what it was like to have sex with him - I was turned off more by his homophobic comments (on a first date - sheesh!) than by his "himbo-ness".
EI and evolutionary psyche are b.s. for the most part.
But if a woman with "higher EI" is better able to participate in getting herself off by either being comfortable touching herself while engaged in sex with her man, or if she can better empathize with him and not take a critical nature to bed with her, she will likely get off more than a woman not quite in touch with herself or her s.o.
I'll totally agree that evolutionary psychology is BS! I refer to it as "sexism disguised as science".
But I do see a need for EI, even though mine is rather low. It can be developed though - it's not hard-wired (unlike the evo-psych types, I think that
very few things are hard-wired, and those that are, are hard-wired into
all of us, not just men, not just women, and not just those with seemingly high EI, etc.)
I'm cool with touching myself during sex! As for empathizing and not being critical, well it depends on the situation. Usually I don't think I'm either extreme, but probably closer to empathizing. Of course if you do something that I find obnoxious, I'm going to be critical about that! But that doesn't happen all that often, although it
has happened...
