could we maybe just have a system of levels and attainments for emotional maturity so I can just specify a preference for an emotional blue belt or higher and trust that they've done the work?
haha background is the replies to this poll & prev threads where men were complaining that "emotional maturity" is an unclear demand with no obvious path to achieving it https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1634388909105852417
and imo we'd all be better off if some of the energy that goes into deadlifts and side hustles was instead directed at social & emotional development
