Female NTs and Men: What do you need in a relationship?

[Marc790]

I am guessing we are all the same, huh? Although I do find myself to be more aggressive than most other ENTPs.

Very untrue in my case. It is a plus if someone is as intelligent as me, but what I demand is an intellectual, and possibly a desire to be more intelligent, not intelligence itself.

For the most part, true. Though it would be hypocritical to demand that the partner is in control of emotions.

Not applicable for now. I don't expect a 18-24 yeard old to be able to do all that

(4) Understanding: Many men do not understand female NTs and will attempt to woo them with traditional gifts and gestures like flowers, candy, a romantic date, or a love letter. Many female NTs get slightly nauseated at the thought of these cliché gifts, and want their partner to understand this preference without judgment. (NT females are more likely to respond to something personal or educational, like a book, tickets to an interesting event, or a trip.)

Therefore they look for a mate who is interested in doing the things they want to do, like participate in sports or other hobbies, go on trips, learn about a certain topic, etc.

Really? In a situation that required it, I would expect a 16-year-old to be able to do all that.
