Trouble with my romantic relationships

[Meerie]

But even if I did I doubt I would be able to dictate being a woman, to a woman.

Well it is not necessary to dictate anything to anyone anyway… wow so many anys in one phrase…

I humbly suggest that perhaps those "soft skills" like emotional intelligence are masculine skills as much as they are female skills. The troubling factor here being that as a society we divided us up into roles. In my life I didn't have to learn the "female" skills. I had to learn the "male" skills. This is the case for most guys I know..

You are right, of course it does not mean that soft skills are a „woman only“ thing.. in fact I know some women who lack them entirely… and there are guys who are so soft that I sometimes think I probably have more testosterone LOL… I was just referring to the commonly associated “gender stereotypes”. It is easy to fall into that trap and get caught in generalizations, I realize that.
