Except women always think they have a high EQ when most don't have it at all.
Women have a high EQ in that they are attractive and desirable, there's also the aspect that feminine features and mannerisms that come from the female brain and biology produce innate responses in both sexes that correlate to their social successes.
Their EQ is just our evolutionary strategy of protecting women and giving them extra social consideration (because they were a valuable resource for our primitive tribes).
Are you thinking of EQ as sexual value? Maybe I'm getting it wrong, I always thought EQ was emotional intelligence, which most women are morons about, which is why they fall in love with men that beat them and believe in things that are clearly false.
Emotional Intelligence is just personality traits that show up more often in women then in men.
It's taking the big five personality test, and then arbitrarily deciding that the scores of something like extroversion correlates to a higher EQ score, when in reality, there is no objective advantage or disadvantage to a lot of the big five.
Men have a high EQ in that they are attractive and desirable, there's also the aspect that male features and mannerisms that come from the male brain and biology produce innate responses in both sexes that correlate to their social successes.
Their EQ is just our evolutionary strategy of indulging and giving them extra social consideration (because they were a valuable resource for our primitive tribes).

So tell me why the inverse is also not a true statement. Males subsidize females because they are useful to males. Females do the same. How’s it different?
I think the sort of EQ required to keep a baby alive is very high in women relative to men. The sort of EQ required to teach children language and how to socialize with others without getting killed.
I think convincing men to stick around and bring home food and other nice things and do what they want them to do in spite of being much smaller is certainly a sort of EQ.
Evolution is real. If women were so stupid and defective they’d be replaced by now by better smarter women. Women are the way they are because of evolution. All their traits may not be useful today, or may not be useful to you but they were all positive adaptations for survival at some point in some environment.
What if modern society, especially the internet and social media, caused a new kind of unhealthy evolution? I was proud of the majority of my classmates (private school), but when I enrolled in university I wanted to puke seeing the overwhelming (not all thankfully) amount of smartphone addicts (and foreigners…)
I think the situation is quite different in my generation (and perhaps country).
Okay, while this is true for women, we can make the same observation for men for any of the qualities that we have. Basically, yes, women and men are ignorant about a lot of things.
It's also important to subcategorize EQ into different categories. I have noticed that womens EQ is completely different to mens EQ. Their EQ seems to be evolved for hyperfocusing on partner acquisition, relationship maintenance (female social competition) and raising children up to about 5 to 7 years old. Men have an EQ probably tailored towards hierarchical groups and related organization for successful hunting and war parties.
So, for example, women simply don't care about male suffering. Not because they are horrible or somehow ignorant of our suffering, but because their EQ is not tuned for that. Millions of years ago our ancestors were more like gorilla social structures where one male had a hareem of females that he had to protect, today we have exchanged that for monogamy probably for good reasons but the vestiges of our ancestral EQ are still with us.
Additionaly, female EQ seems to be hyper tuned toward noticing an infinite amount of minutia while male EQ works at a different resolution. Womens radar seems to always be on and always scanning, but, while it can scan at a high rate and notice details it doesn't necessarily have depth and notice things far afield from a different perspective. So, some of the confusion might come from us men always telling them what they want to hear and combined with them knowing their radar sees everything but not realizing the EQ depth problem.
Probably a lot more can be written about this.
