[INTP] How many girls can an INTP juggle at once?

[ajblaise]

Maybe the Aries in me is helping me make the stride.

You believe in astrology too? That's not logical! There goes some more INTP points...hah.

 

[FDG]

Yeah maybe you're ENTP or ENTJ

 

[ZPowers]

Seconded. A lot of INTPs have a pretty rough time believing in things like God or general mysticism, much less something that you can fairly effectively punch full of holes with statistics, experiments and observation.

How do you reconsider your type?

have you learned about the cognitive functions?

Also, this(down) is very interesting. (buwahahaha)

The picture is actually from a professional photographer. It's actually, the only one I like since I'm so hard on myself. Hiring a good photographer is of major importance to an INTP in my opinion.

I like to look at it as realizing that life works in funny ways. Example. You meet someone 5 years ago. You have a relationship. It grows. It slows down. Another person comes into your life 3 years ago. It grows, number 1 wants back in, she comes back in while number 2 is acting dumb and out in the "free" world playing hard to get. Number 2 returns while number 1 is acting dumb and playing mad because you let number 2 into your life in the first place and pissed when you remark that you care about her and will not put up with hearing her speak about her in a derogatory manner.

Maybe a year or so down the line, number 3 magically appears, the moons shifts, number 1 begins to watch things develop from the sidelines all the while acting like she doesn't know about a thing when in fact she is spying on me and invading my privacy rights to have visitors come to my home. Number 2 comes and goes because she wants me to come looking for her and sporadically pops up on the radar to let me know she is around and wants to see me, go shopping or watch a movie.

This is just normal stuff. What is my way of life? A cool nerd who hangs out at his house building websites, going to the gym, riding his bike and watching movies with girls? Why do I need to act like a public service agency and "inform" people of my personal life when they are not around?

What exactly is not ok? Dating?

Personally, if I was one of those women, I'd wanna know what it is you want. A serious relationship? Fuckbuddies? Open relationship? [insert whatever you can think of]?

You do what you want, and what suits you, but not letting me know or deceiving me into thinking you'll build a life with me while you rather have an open realtionship is something I'm not exactly down for, and yes, I do believe I have a right to know, and get the same privileges as you. Instead of leaving me guessing and having a whole bunch of drama to deal with.

Mmm...this sounds more judgemental than it's meant to be. I don't have a problem with the way you view life. I have a potential problem with the apparent lack of information you provide these girls with. Let them know that you prefer this lifestyle. And let them decide if they wanna be a part of that. If you already did this, feel free to disregard my comments.

And yes, you sound very much like a young ENTP to me.

most of time a fuckbuddies, you would know if you had a serious relationship with INTP.

Where the fuck does an INTP get the energy to "juggle" women?

Well actually... I guess you COULD savor all your social energy and channel it into 2-3 women but seriously... what a fucking waste... you must be a zombie around your family, friends and work etc

[Siúil a Rúin]

you might want to reconsider your type.

Or at least the introversion can't be especially strong. I agree with the people noting social exhaustion. Juggling romantic interests that result in emotional blow-ups doesn't sound appealing to the person who especially enjoys being alone with their thoughts. Hopefully the women are juggling as well.

It would be more socially innovative if you were actually juggling the women.

Amusing.

The intps I've known are usually very introverted and don't have the energy to waste on multiple women when they could be learning something. Juggling multiple women seems like a more extraverted behavior, honestly.

 

[Oaky]

Maybe ENTPs. INTPs... more unlikely.

 

[kelric]

In my experience, more often than not, it's been zero.

But, when I've had the opportunity to try my hand, I generally don't stray or have much interest in doing so. Even unrequited crushes are strangely monogamous. It'll gradually fade, then I can develop a new object of affection.

This. I have exactly zero interest in "playing the field", or however the saying goes.

Mine is the kind of guy who could give Horton a run for his money in the faithfulness department. Which is very good for his life expectancy.

Actually juggling benefriends can be easier than a typical single LTR. Usually the benefriends eventually gets neglected and moves on to more stable pastures. Even so it sucks up tremendous energy. What seems to happen more is that some of the targets of affection get into a commitment and consistency mode and the relationship continues off its own fumes/drift and the INTP not insisting on closure. (i.e. have sex with a partner(s) and they still come around on occasion for conversation and intimacy.

In general I think most INTPs would be ideally happy just to have one mate who would give them their space and put up with occasional flirty or idiosyncratic behavior.

Could be a generalization, but I believe that INTP's are knowledge seekers more than anything. To rid that life purpose of theirs is to remove "women" in some.

Spending time alone, concentrated on thought, learning (having zits) =/= unsatisfactory for the INTP. It is an acceptable behavior, and if you don't agree, you can fuck off. The norm doesn't objectify what is proper.

(of course, a decent amount of socializing is needed here and there. But even those extroverted acts are ultimately for the benefit of Ti and Ne. Share ideas with others through Fe and learn through communication.) Happiness is being what you are.

As to anyone's type, if well-informed, can only be the true judge of his/her character.

I think this is accurate for some intps from what I've read and seen. There will obviously be variation.

Duh? We each do what is best for ourselves. *shrug*

No disagreement here.

Ofcourse.

On average: four.

 

[marquix]

On average: four.

Wow, four??? Now that I find really tough. I think three is the max (unless you have a career where you travel alot and lots of cash to finance it).

I've found 2 to be a nice harmony but I can say that I really miss my third angle in the mix right now.

 

[marquix]

Of course I believe in Astrology!! What do you think got me this far to begin with

Actually, I think there is a higher "spiritual" side to believing in Astrology/Religion and other things like destiny, coincidence and the like. I'm definitely an INTP that simply reads, begins to see patterns, bases his beliefs on tried and tested observations. I theorize. Ask a person at a social gathering their sign and then test my knowledge of them in the same manner one would casually list off a few traits on a INFJ or other type.

I generally focus on the profile and character descriptions of Astrology instead of the "what will happen tomorrow" stuff. I have although had visions where I seem to see how the future stuff may make sense but I decided not to really get into that since it conflicts with my strong Catholic views on God and what we should and shouldn't do.

Could be a generalization, but I believe that INTP's are knowledge seekers more than anything. To rid that life purpose of theirs is to remove "women" in some.

For theory purposes, let's assume that an INTP is seeking knowledge on women. He begins to understand life after a divorce, losing a child, near death experiences, economic cycles and world events. Well, this knowledge seeking is still there but it creates a thread on human emotions. The human emotion thread (thought thread) is not really something he consciously decided to do but rather part of a situation that developed and he rationalized as a fruit of all the confusion that initially arose. Believe me, I've been confused at times and have so far been able to get on my feet by resorting to my logic, my verbal proficiency to communicate my feelings and proactively, from then on, continue with whatever outcome. Let's not forget that I do believe in spiritual things as well. I believe location, meeting a person and a particular spot, a particular time when a minutes difference or change of situation could have prevented that encounter from happening in the first place. When you live life in "the zone" per se, I like to see myself as a wonderfully lucking bystander enjoying life who is seeking knowledge, piling up mountains of love and releasing it all back to the world that brought it to begin with.

yeah, yeah, by multiply cheating on his girlfriends.

you'd be a good seller though, perhaps. Like those scam television astrologists you know.
