OP:
People on forums obsess over looksmaxing, gymmaxing, stylemaxing, cloutmaxing… but barely anyone talks about the one stat that quietly determines like 70% of your results in social life: EQ.
If you actually want long-term success with women, friends, networking, and even general quality of life, you need emotional intelligence. And most guys here are severely EQ-deficient without realizing it.
Here’s why EQ > everything else(except looks ofc):


You can be a 5/10 guy and get treated like a 7 just because you know how to carry a convo, read vibes, avoid awkwardness, and create comfort.
Meanwhile, you can be an 8/10 and still make girls bolt if your social calibration is trash.
EQ is a force multiplier.
Low EQ = hard mode.
High EQ = buff.
• Misreading signals
• Coming off weird or intense
• Oversharing
• Thinking confidence = aggression
• Not knowing when to pull back
• Not understanding female indirect communication

These aren’t “looks issues.”
They’re social intelligence issues.
A lot of guys try to fake charisma by copying TikTok lines or trying to act “alpha.”
Real charisma = timing + vibe + self-regulation + reading the room.
That’s EQ for yuo(pls get the reference)

Here’s why EQ > everything else(except looks ofc):
1. Good EQ multiplies the value of whatever looks you already have
You can be a 5/10 guy and get treated like a 7 just because you know how to carry a convo, read vibes, avoid awkwardness, and create comfort.
Meanwhile, you can be an 8/10 and still make girls bolt if your social calibration is trash.

Low EQ = hard mode.
High EQ = buff.
2. Lack of EQ is the root cause of 90% of “incel problems”
• Misreading signals
• Coming off weird or intense
• Oversharing
• Thinking confidence = aggression
• Not knowing when to pull back
• Not understanding female indirect communication
These aren’t “looks issues.”
They’re social intelligence issues.
3. EQ makes you charismatic, not cringe
A lot of guys try to fake charisma by copying TikTok lines or trying to act “alpha.”
Real charisma = timing + vibe + self-regulation + reading the room.
