Hahaha I'm glad we have cleared that up. Basic animal attraction then. Grrr baby very grrr

Yeah ah-hah, i think there is some truth to that but the delivery is executed in a way which appeals. Some kind of verbal undressing... fast paced... and befor you know it you are backing off nervously .... "woah wait, i want to keep my underwear on, how did this happen"

Why would you want to keep your underwear on?

The ENFP I dated told me that out of everyone she had been with, for some reason, I had the most raw sex appeal out of all of them and she couldn't explain it because she had dated people who were more attractive than I was (haha!) and that it didn't make sense but she never seemed to lose her attraction...*ENFP ramble*

I thought that was funny.

Ha! Well it's more like..."how did we get here?" We havn't yet had a chance to weigh up exactly what is going on yet...but at the same time feel (at least semi) seduced. I think i have worked it out in as much as... i need to keep a lil distance or i'll be sucked in. Theres probably an alternative where you can talk straight up at first contact ... but that's never been my forte. Usually i like to dance first.

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of example i was looking for... the raw heat. I'm not sure it makes for great relationship compatability...i'm curious about that too.

For me, it was her own construct. Whatever it was about me put her on major defense and that doesn't make for a good start. I was turned off and ended things when I sensed she was playing head games, wanting me to prove or vie for her love. I don't do that.

Yes, you ISTPs are extremely attractive, I can't stop looking at you.

A funny fact is that I know 3 or 4 female ISTPs, and ALL of them have that Kristen Stewart look on their face, which I find really sexy.

Is Kristen Stewart an ISTP?

I generally don't find them attractive. I've encountered too many of the meathead and/or manwhore variety, which is instant turn-off for me. An ENFJ friend of mine has an ISTP brother who has tried to flirt with me, but he does that whole "I'm a bad boy who is really sensitive at core & I just need the right woman to bring it out in me". BARF. I'm pretty sure that works with a lot of women though.

I met once met this ISTP who I first thought could be an xNFJ though, because he had this Fe cuteness. However, I'm pretty sure this Fe was inferior, as it also seemed strained at times (not phone...just like it was being pushed to its limit & it was tiring to him). He described a trip he took to Greece; all the scents & colors... I've never heard anyone speak of travel so sensually. He was also reeeeaally good-looking. He wasn't interested in me of course :mellow: .

Few things...

First of all, at some point or another, an ENFP will find every type of MBTI to be "mysteriously alluring with sexual intensity about them". That doesn't mean shit. It's just an ENFP being an ENFP.

Second, theoretically speaking, it's not just ISTPs, but SPs in general that tend to exude a vibe of raw sexual appeal due to a combination of sense-oriented, utilitarian/experimental nature of their type.

Having said that, to assume that all SPs are untamed sexual wonderbeasts is the equivalent of assuming that all NTs are visionary geniuses.

And just for the record, I've met my share of retarded NTs.

On the final note, yes, Kristen Stewart is an ISTP. I mean, just look at her "I've got nothing really interesting to tell you but I've got this pipe that we can hit, what you don't like weed? well then fuck you" attitude. It's got ISTP written all over it.

why do you think so? based on her roles? her interviews? personal experience?
Interviews mostly. I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure, just that ISTP seems probable.

how would you know whether or not she's T vs. F? why not ISFP?
Because Edgar said so. :D

Yeah, i'm just not seeing that so much in regards to SJ's. They have plenty of good/attractive traits... just that exuding a sexual intensity might not rank so highly. Hardly see it so stark with any other types tbh.

Second, theoretically speaking, it's not just ISTPs, but SPs in general that tend to exude a vibe of raw sexual appeal due to a combination of sense-oriented, utilitarian/experimental nature of their type.

Agreed in general. Though for myself, the STP's and especially ISTP's i have encountered seem to exude the most. Just my personal experience, and things i have picked up on, not claiming any fact based evidence here.

Having said that, to assume that all SPs are untamed sexual wonderbeasts is the equivalent of assuming that all NTs are visionary geniuses.

Right, was just placing some weight on the Sp side of the scales.

And just for the record, I've met my share of retarded NTs.

Uh huh, That word dosn't sit well with me but i understand your point. Many different types of intelligence, many different levels within those.

*Goes off to research internet info/interviews on Kristin Stewart*

P.s... We are (Most of us forumers) guilty of labelling/stereotyping, generalising e.t.c.. One of the points to the forum is to identify traits common to the types no?

I guessed you missed all those threads where ENFPs were fawning over ISTJs

You can call a retard all sorts of nice euphemisms, but it won't make him any smarter.
