the following is an MSN conversation I just had

I think it sums up what being an ENTJ is like.

I'm Charmander Denholm Hine

Charmander Denholm Hine says:
cari I think you should know that you're really bad at taking pictures of yourself
Charmander Denholm Hine says:
you always make your nose look huge
Charmander Denholm Hine says:

Cari Cane I've been waiting. I've been waiting for this moment all my life, but it's not quite right! says:

Cari Cane I've been waiting. I've been waiting for this moment all my life, but it's not quite right! says:
u always put me down everytime we talk
Cari Cane I've been waiting. I've been waiting for this moment all my life, but it's not quite right! says:

Charmander Denholm Hine says:
I'M NOT PUTTING YOU DOWN!
Charmander Denholm Hine says:
I'm saying you dont have a big nose!
Cari Cane I've been waiting. I've been waiting for this moment all my life, but it's not quite right! says:

Cari Cane I've been waiting. I've been waiting for this moment all my life, but it's not quite right! says:

Murkrow, there is a time and a place for speaking objectively. And you don't do it to a female friend about her genetic appearances if you want to keep her as a friend. I think you severely miscalculated the balance of a point being proven and the worth of that point being proven.

There are more palatable ways of telling her that you found the picture less than flattering. I understand that what you were trying to say was essentially that you didn't like the photograph because it made her nose look large, when in fact you don't think it's actually large at all, therefore the picture doesn't do her justice. Work on your diplomacy. You could have chosen a softer way of conveying your opinion without making her feel assailed. Or, you could have just kept your opinion to yourself. So what if it's a bad picture and she happens to like it? Not your problem to fix. Consider that.

Don't argue with people, it's not worth it unless you are sure the other person really likes debating

Really recognize that :D My girlfriend misinterprets me a lot when i'm actually trying to say something constructive or even nice :D
But I like it, it often leads to a little arguing, and I love to do that sometimes :)

Edit: and since what I have said was said by me, I am the only one that can truly know what I meant... Right? I win.

Haha by the time she criticized you for telling her nose is to fat, you must have referenced to you meaning here pricturing skills are inaccurate because the nose you know as perfectly fine, seemed fat in the picture xDD.

But you replied her nose looks big in pictures that was your only mistake xDD

Ah, the arbitrary logic. Gotta love that.

Erm, it's not arbitrary to assign knowledge of intended meaning to the person who spoke.

I said "but it isn't"

hm... I think you might have something there though.

But I really don't know this girl that well, I don't like being complementary to women I'm not interested in, it's like lying.

Does anyone else read the title of this thread and giggle at ENTJ's being nutshells?

If it's any consolation, ENTJ's do get better with age. I know some really awesome ones. They're all over 30 though... and the two I knew before age 25 were real jerks up to then...

Speaking of which, what happened to Maverick?
