[MBTI General] Idealist Thoughts on INTP Romance

[Domino]

But what if she meant that she never answers the phone due to a crippling phobia and wishes to overcome her fears? We can't rain on that.

Ok, a little raining.

 

[JocktheMotie]

Degraded? That's the very definition of INTP romance!

Got a Twizzler stuck in my nasal cavity because of that one. Classic.

Although to be fair I get Twizzlers stuck in my nose more often than any other food, and I have no idea why.

There's something about a Twizzler that begs to be abused.

I once ate lunch with my ENTP and ENTJ friends. ENTP and I stuck french fries up our noses, laughed so hard they shot under the table. ENTJ friend was deciding whether or not it was worthwhile to kill us and leave us in the middle of the Burger King.

I come with keyboard! And JVM!
Plus I'm very low maintenance.

I want proof...

As long as I don't get bitched at about the pile of clothes on the floor...

I think you misunderstand. I was eating said Twizzler, laughed, and the half-masticated remains of the Twizzler found their way into my nasal cavity, which requires snorting them out.

This hasn't happened to anyone else before?

Sure. Classic INTP party trick. It's what we do if the old, stare-at-folk-like-they-are-morons routine isn't working so well.

Good heavens, Jock. You have quite a ...talent... there! I knew a girl who'd shoot milk out of her eye, if that's any comfort.

 

[Tallulah]

Indeed. The hardest part is shooting the Twizzler out your nose while staring at them like they're morons.

Dear <INTP>,

I need some curve analysis practice and I want you to help.

<NF>

I discovered this awesome site thanks to you:

Curve Analysis: Basic

 

[Martoon]

Oh intps and their lame attempts to make us giggle....you don't know if you want to kill 'em :steam: or hug 'em

There's a difference?

 

[JocktheMotie]

There's a difference?

It's a subtle one. INTPs may be one of the few, if not only, types able to suffer "death by hugging."

If the hugger is overzealous it may just be too much.

QFT. Overzealotry is to be avoided at all costs.

If you have an overzealous partner, I can't recommend one of these highly enough:

Thinking about it. What type of woman would approach a guy standing on his own, not talking to anyone, not smiling, not dancing(until he's very drunk)? ENFP, ENFJ? I don't know a whole lot about ESFJ or ESFP.

I would think an NF (definitely an ENFJ) would. "ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this."

Personally, I like making people comfortable and feel special. Even in parties where I am not the host, I am always walking around to make sure folks are comfortable / at ease, especially on the look out for folks by themselves - which observant folks such as INTPs take notice and appreciate.

Personally, I'll take as much as you got. Other than enfp, if you were any other type of NF or a male NF I'd be plotting to tape your mouth shut.

If that's not romantic, I don't know what is. Kidding!.

*INTP romance* lol.

*swoops in with cape* Did I hear someone had a logic problem?
...
Yeah, that's the adorableness I was talking about earlier. I do not lie.

Truly "adorkable" :blushing:

I iz?

Dear Minx,
What brain madness is this? Such discontent. Such longing! Such hunger as only the winter knows for the spring! I'm haunted by your gorgeous mouth. The curve of your neck, your silken hair... My lips brush your blushes, my hands caress your ....


Ahem.

Whoa. Professionalz. This is how it's done kids. Watch and learn.

This I know. What's hard is figuring out when ENFJs are being friendly and when they are flirting. Is flirting your way of being friendly? How can someone tell the difference between friendly flirting and "I like you flirting" without calculating the rate of change of your pupil dillation?

*INTP romance* lol.

This was my wacky sense of humor more than anything. NF from certain individuals can irritate me, but I have quite well developed feeling myself. I don't often admit it but I tested INFP as a teenager.

I really only get irritated when an NF tries to talk about something they know nothing about as though they know what they are talking about. There's a guy at work who makes up completely random stuff when talking about computers to other people. But he presents it in such a way that people listening actually accept what he's telling them. That is pure torcher to listen to.

There's a thread for you.

 

[93JC]

There's a thread for you.

That thread did nothing more than reinforce my stereotypes about how ludicrous the human mating process can be. "You can never really tell until you throw your cards on the table" doesn't help.

Ummm...

So?

You'd think it would be answered in this thread better?
You'll never get any relationships if you never throw the cards on the table.

regarding that thread...i think...as an intp who's supposedly very observant/perceptive that you should notice if the person acts differently with you...an outgoing person turning a bit more shy and/or giggly or a shy person making a bit more of an effort and giving you more attention then anyone else....and it's in the look...it's a look they would not give a sibling. you can tell the difference if you pay attention...i really believe you can.

Reading the thread now. It's pretty good.

I know the physical signs. Teeth smile is a friendly smile. Orientation of feet, pupil dilation, openness of hands, body orientation and crossed legs (or wide apart if you're really lucky), flush face, playing with hair. There is no way I will do that kind of analysis in a situation faced with a girl I like. If I say anything at all I will probably gush a little bit. I think I was hoping for a trick or a spell or something.

and it's in the look...it's a look they would not give a sibling. you can tell the difference if you pay attention...i really believe you can.

I know that look. But I would question it. Did she really give me that look? That's the kind of thing I would try to analyze or over analyze.
