While book-smarts or street-smarts help a person in specific ways, Emotional Intelligence is what we use most in the real world -- it's the mindfulness, awareness and processing ability we have for both our feelings and the feelings of others.

Current research indicates that those with higher levels of EI draw others towards them... They're people who others genuinely want to be around for the long haul -- at work/school/relationships. Their kindness and compassion towards others shine through their EI, as does their ability to own up to their own decisions (instead of blaming them on others) and to treat others with respect and dignity.

Here 's a quick 20-point quiz for you guys and gals -- the most common signs of EI

(+1 for each point you "sort of understand" and +2 for each point you're really good at):

• Being able to know and accept yourself for who you are (with all your quirks and experiences)...
• Being able to accept responsibility for your actions and decisions...
• Being able to accept change as a standard part of life...
• Being able to control emotions rather than raging and lashing out and flying off the handle with verbal/physical outbursts...
• Being able to forgive yourself -- to show yourself some grace -- by leaving past mistakes in the past...
• Being able to talk through problems and challenges with others...
• Being aware of your own strengths -- and being able to admit to them...
• Being aware of your own weaknesses -- and being able to admit to them...
• Being modestly confident and poised -- and keeping your cool in challenging situations...
• Showing empathy and compassion -- putting yourself in another person’s shoes and seeing things from their perspective...

The scoring goes by 5s (see the poll, which keeps answers anonymous). Don't share your score in comments if you don't want to.

(Those with a low score wondering how to raise EI can search Google for free materials that are very helpful.)

I talked to a new guy on this app, but we ended up not meeting as he’s wanting marriage & babies until 5 years IF it works out. And that’s honestly a waste of time for me. If I was younger & met this guy when I was 18 then I could of been married by now but no. I’m 26 still no husband. So I want marriage & baby in 1-2 years.
A guy I dated that never met my family wasted many years of my life. So I have no time to waste. if it’s 5 years and living together than that’s fine , or else it’s pointless date& have sex 5 years and no ring.

For me it’s clear. Even when the debate was done specifically to Biden rules to favor him, he still was slaughtered.

even with commercials added, this poor man likely went to have a mental breakdown after this. It’s much for him. Maybe it’s karma

however for doing what he did to Ukraine for so many years people dying there.

Is a plate a container?

What’s your view (s)/opinion on this?

I understand they don't like their gfs nagging about wanting kids, being scared of being baby-trapped and feeling pressured into it. Ok let's say we were to play dumb, never baby-trap you and never mention anything about wanting kids, would men naturally want kids too? Would they be capable of bringing up the topic themselves if the woman doesn't even remind them? Do they naturally (free will) want kids or not?

Here is the irony, they don't like being nagged but if some of them were to be suffering infertility (unable to ever impregnant a woman), several wouldn't like that either. One of my good friends is a fertility nurse. Several years ago, one of her patients was a married couple that's been trying to conceive for 3 years. It was discovered (teste 3 times) the guy had no sperm count and he actually left the office in tears.

Many recipes only call for one part of the egg, either the white or the yolk. There are many types of egg separators on the market from jugs to strainers, but a lot of people like me prefer doing it by hand, passing it between shell halves.

So how do you separate your eggs?
