It is...? I can't think of a type that is less controlling, as a whole. Except in some reversal of being controlled, because we are also the type that probably hates being controlled the most.
Yes, I can't really think of many instances where I've tried to control someone else. I can think of several examples where I've gotten annoyed, upset, or outright mad at someone for trying to force me (or a loved one) to do something that they didn't want to do.
Maybe this guy just needs a hug.
I want a hug too.

"Dude, I post on this internet forum dedicated to a moderately useless and totally esoteric topic in psychology. We were talking about you, and somebody said you were lame."

Sorry, I didn't quote everything I replied to and worded my response poorly. I wasn't trying to say that the preference to control was in spec, but rather it's not unheard of that a male ISTP may have preferences on how his girl dresses/looks.
See, I don't see disharmony as something to get away from but as a challenge. When faced with a disharmonious situation my way of coping is trying to understand why there is disharmony and making sure that I am at least doing my part to be as accommodating as I can where I need to be. I would feel uncomfortable abandoning a situation before I feel like I've done my best to improve it.

I have always envied ISFJs and how decisive you are about your emotions. I often find myself sticking with a bad situation just because it's really difficult for me to admit defeat. If I can envision the best possible outcome, having to admit that the situation is not going to turn out as I imagined is SO HARD! It usually turns into self loathing because I feel that the situation being bad is my fault because I didn't try hard enough to improve it.
I don't mean to derail this thread further but I'd love to hear more about how sensing types would deal with a disharmonious living situation. Does any of the above paragraph make sense or is it just me beating myself up with Fi?
F***ing hugs!! Lead to hand-holding and babies! No hugging in here!
I suppose I would've surmised that the need or drive to create efficiency is evidence of a J, but I haven't done an amazing amount of thought on it.
Based on what you said about this ENTJ, seems likely she's got someone that she deserves.
