[NT] what NTs look for in a potential mate

[Domino]

Ah, you like the Mac do you?

Get. Outta here.

PPPwned.

Physical: A certain standard needs to be met, but generally, people tend to become a lot prettier if I am attracted to their personality.

Emotional: Not annoyingly emotionally needy.

Mental: Creative and intelligent. Appreciation of my intellect. Able to discuss anything.

I completely feel the same. Except about brunettes. I just like dark hair. Black, brown, those are cool with me.

 

[ThatGirl]

Physical? health
Emotional? ... What?...
Mental? No thanks

 

[murkrow]

[Maabus1999]

Physical: Primordial attraction is still nice to have

Emotional: Passionate but not every moment of the day

Mental: Intelligent and highly creative. Willing to discuss anything. Big one: Willing to explore and learn everything with excitement (I love traveling).

Smells like Teen Spirit.
Blathering.
Heedless blathering.
Heedless sensationalized blathering that cannot be done with pauses for air.
Contentious wrangling.
Pedantic fits.
Over-usage of unflattering primary colors, particularly in one's itchy sweater collection.
Coffee snob.
Miserly pinching of pennies until Lincoln screams... from the GRAVE!

Insistence upon saying "liberry" and "nuKular".

And here I thought "having the unusual skill to avoid pissing me off" was all it took.

Here at MBTIc, we're all about taking it to the next level!

editing McG's terse descriptions to my liking

Physical: Attractive to me

Emotional: Uncrazy and stable. Instability is the kiss of death.

Mental: Smarties! the most important of the three.


+ the ability to not annoy me regularly.

 

[Domino]

Let's go out to the New Kids on the Block revival at the local high school for five hours and then we can hang out at my house playing Jenga and watching reruns of "Blossom". Also, I don't mean to brag but...


I have YANNI.

 

[Spartacuss]

Ah Blossom. I'm probably dating myself with that.

 

[Domino]

I mentioned it. I'm clearly to blame. lol

 

[JAVO]

...I've had an ENTJ guy tell me I was "too smart". ?!

I thought smart was a good thing, but I guess not. I had it explained to me that NT men don't like to have mates that could possibly be smarter than them. This makes no sense to me - if my boyfriend had a higher IQ than I did, I would be proud of him, not see it as a competition. So, I don't entirely believe NT men who say they want an intelligent woman. They want a woman who is reasonably smart without threats of Supreme Intelligence usurpation.

I would not be threatened at all by someone "smarter than me." I would, however, be highly skeptical of this assertion.

 

[LadyJaye]

The way I've always understood it, and the way it most strongly manifests with myself, is that while yes, it is competition, it isn't competition as most people think of it....So, yes. I suspect NTs are generally threatened by partners that are substantially more intelligent than they, I'm not sure they aren't looking for intelligent women however. Does that help at all?

This was wonderfully explained! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out for me. It does clarify a great deal.

The mighty Greek fire of my superior actualized mind shall burn you to the waterline as your ancient Norse ancestors before you and then destroy your ashes in most despicable graceless way (i.e. scrape them into a jar and mix them in with the Jonas Brothers' vat of hair gel.)

You are deeply deeply hated.

The Jonas Brothers. Yes, she really hates you.

You're about 1000 years too late, Sven LittleAxe.

Beat me at Helicopter and I shall pretend that you are human, even if a heinous misshapen horrible sewer clown!

So THAT'S what came up out of the sewer! I mean, the screaming children, the fainting adults, the horrific stench, the lawyerly suit.... it all makes sense now.

I would not be threatened at all by someone "smarter than me." I would, however, be highly skeptical of this assertion.

LOL. You're a nut, so I will allow for your misguided disbelief.

It's probably a gender thing, too.


Intelligent guys are pretty sexy. I'd be happy to marry a guy smarter than I, so long as there wasn't such distance between our intelligence that I felt like an idiot often around him.

One of my ex-girlfriends told me I used too many big words...

So did you start using bigger ones?

 

[Shadowrose]

Er, nope.. I pretty much just went slackjawed and offered to explain them.
