Would you say most INTPs then are/or end up with an ISFJ partner? This INTP is very goal driven, (but is not a J) - maybe he leads with an sp factor - stability and need to provide for his children (yes, he has those too) ... - maybe he is an sp/sx.
I am starting to gain a real sense that men, no matter what their type, may periodically "test the waters." However, a lot of men to know when/how to curb down more *serious* flirting if they have no intentions to go farther - maybe I am wrong here - but I've been around the block a bit and could "have gone there" with some who were definitely putting it out there and I chose not to - for same said reasons.
My take is that people who allow themselves to *fall* for something deeper than casual flirting and move it to the "next stage" are vulnerable themselves in some sense.
INTP men want to marry stable woman. Basically the archetypal damsel-in-distress, does the household, strong moral fiber archetype. But I guess it's the same for quite a number of men.
The difference here would be the reason for the INTP cheating, if he ever pulls off such act. It's less sexual in nature than the reason of men of other types. I'm theorizing "sense of growth" as the culprit, though I'm not sure if I speak for other INTPs. Definitely the urge for sex is not the primary motivation.
