My experiences are based on the itialicized last few lines, which summarize everything above it, and it happens regardless of type.
I never said I didn't desire a connection. It's just that eventually these roles will play out.
Men and women often perceive the same message in different ways.
Let me be a little more clear - I'm explicitly telling you that these roles have played out in the opposite direction for me. I don't have a desire to talk about a relationship when it's going well, and I've dated guys who were unhappy at this "lack of connection".
I agree that women are often on the "wanting more communication" half of the relationship, but my experience tells me that it is not universal. Not everyone fits the stereotypes for their gender, race, nationality, etc. Direct assessment of personality (i.e. type) is far more meaningful than relying on stereotypes, even if the stereotypes are based on real observations (note: many aren't).
