[Other/Multiple Temperaments] Do you find your same type fellas to have less appeal than other types'?

[kotoshinohaisha]

Like ex: you're an enfp and you see your same enfp fellas having less appeal than other types?

 

[treetophideaway]

No; in fact I seem to be drawn to ISFPs. I'm definitely drawn to them mentally/emotionally. I tend to notice when I'm around a kindred spirit; I can sense the same tendencies in the person which enables me to feel relaxed and comfortable around them and that's the appeal that draws me in. Whether it turns into a friendship or something more really just depends, but I'm definitely drawn to them more easily than different types.

 

[Amargith]

It's more like a sibling effect where you know the toolbox they're using intimately and are therefore less likely to be in awe of it, but all for banding together

 

[Poki]

I enjoy fellow IStP and find them just as appealing as other types.

Other ENFPs are awesome to hang out with and be around. I think there's a lack of mystique that might make us less drawn to each other than we are to other types. We typically like more of a challenge than someone we inherently 'get'. Conversely, I am very interested in getting to know other ENFPs because the added nuance gained there is unmatched.

^ agree with FS

We need a bit of a difference. It creates curiosity wich leads to excitement.

No, 29% of my friends are ESFJs.

I love having ESFJs as friends. I've noticed they tend to be reliable and caring, and tend to pass most of the character/moral feelers I put out when I'm considering someone as a friend. Also, they rarely do that thing where they're like "you're going to be my best friend ... actually I've decided you're obnoxious" thing that I've had other people do to me before. I love that they tend to understand the give and take of relationships as I'm very much a giver and so have to steer clear of those people who will let me pull them up the side of a sled hill all day, escort them to all of the boring gift shops, and then claim they're tired once I request we go look at ice sculptures, now, thus forcing me to take them back to the bus (still have a grudge about that!!!!! ). And they actually aren't annoyed by my zany humor, high energy levels, or positivity.

 

[Hiraeth]

It depends really. I actually don't know many other ISFPs in real life. Nearly all of my friends are extroverts too. I think my sister is one, but we both have very different interests and we drive each other crazy. Although, a person I idealize in my head is an ISFP, so I guess I'm drawn to them in an idealistic sense.

As long as I have things in common with the other person, I don't think there would be a big issue...

 

[Peter Deadpan]

No, I am quite fond of the INFJs in my life, even if we barely communicate with one another, lol.

 

[Norrsken]

INFJ men are a hit or miss. The good ones are really awesome, but the bad ones are always flying over the cuckoo's nest.

Truth.

 

[fetus]

It's hard for me to identify ESFJ guys. I think especially at my age they try to put on a "tough" ESTP exterior.

Spanky, you're one of the good ones.

Spanky, you're one of the good ones.

Drat! Fine, you win... this time... *hair flip*

 

[Peter Deadpan]

Spanky, you're one of the good ones.

It's cuz he's a near type clone of me.

 

[geedoenfj]

There are certain things that I like about people and certain things that I don't, it doesn't depend on type, it depends on the person..
Most ENFJs I have known are incredibly helpful and kind people, so..

 

[Wunjo]

Not at all, two people who are extremely close in my circle are INFJ's. The male one is a best friend, who I can play chess with for 3 hours and discuss psychoanalysis, the female one, seems to be my confidant who is out of this world. She's... something more than a friend and by this I do not mean sexuality, I just can not define the relationship between her and me with any concept.

 

[Trash Panda]

my type brethren tht i meet on forums, yeah. But I also find my types "negative" qualities more tolerable than the other types.

 

[Yama]

Most other ISFJs are pretty fucking annoying. Some are tolerable though. I prefer ISTJs.
