Lol, what do you mean? I think I know what you're thinking but I need to see it written out.

How does one express non-clininess while replying to your post? It's practicaly impossible as any positive reply could easily be seen as clingy. I also just thought it would be funny to answer that way *shrug* ^_^

Well, it's not that much of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. When I say clinginess, I'm thinking of something that's pretty pathological. For example, I almost became invoved with an ENFJ a few years back. He was very sweet and very interesting, and now he's mellowed out a lot, but he pretty much showered me with compliments before getting to know me well enough to know that I'm not the compliment-adoring type. It felt fake. And he'd try to touch me all the time. That's the "clingy vein" through which I am running. What a bad metaphor.

I'm more physical, but it takes time for me to warm up enough that it happens even though inside I'd want it... I just hate things getting weird.

Yeah, well there's nothing inherently wrong with being more physical, it's just being more physical when you barely know someone and aren't even sure if their feelings are mutual. Cos that's what happened to me. :D

But barring that sort of behavior which inevitably makes things wierd, NFs is my favorites.

Uh, yeah, I typically avoid physical contact unless I know the girl likes me first, AND seems to be comfortable with the close contact.

You know that's interesting because I know at least 2 INFP females IRL.

The first word that comes to mind is 'quirky'. Very quirky. And even a bit awkward.

But that's why I like them! :yes: It's all part of their charm!

I can also see sexy, but it's you know, an awkward, quirky sexy.

Just from personal observation. I think one of the INFPs may actually be INTP though or just not have well developed whatever it is that helps you express your emotions.

Oh yeah! thats how i discibe myself, very quirky and akward! yay

Female INFPs, totally. They often have this "innocent-yet-beautiful" appearance about them, at least the few I've known.

Agree with this. The "innocent yet beautiful" look is sexy and it does seem to follow a lot of the INFPs.

Men constantly tell me this that I look "innocent and beautiful". I have NO IDEA what they are talking about :huh:. It's flattering but I don't really dwell on it. I don't really like all the attention which they find equally puzzling.

thats because they use words like toliet paper,
and what you hear is shitty

what they mean is that your appeal is a softer connotation of what one would call " fine or exotic "

its like cute, but a bit higher in allure.

look in the mirror, then allude to Jennifer Love Hewitt, Audrey Hepburn, Joanna Newsome, and other INFP's

its like a girl next door thing with you gals
whereas ISFPs have more of a raw beauty

ISFPs are in this world, INFPs are off in another and this difference can really show.

Haha, it's true. We seem stupid to some S's for that xD....It must be an N thing to constantly get the rolling eyes or sight: where are your car keys? You plan a trip and forget where you put your keys five minutes before you have to get in the car o.o...just a typical "n" day.:D

Why it is said "innocent yet beautiful"? Why not "innocent and beautiful"? The "yet" seems to me like the innocent are usually not able to look beautiful. Or, maybe my intuition on English aint that good...?

Maybe we should blame the ESFPs. :rolleyes:

INFP females are definitely sexy, generally speaking :) At least the few I have known. Including my girlfriend, she's the best :)
