    Default Do ISFjs prefer to date "bad boys"?

    ISFjs like bad boys. This is true.

    The question is: why?

    Are they the givers or the receivers, in terms of masochism

    IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO GET HURT/MISTREATED OR SOME DERIVATIVE THEREOF. I SUPPOSE THEY ARE NOT OPPOSED TO GIVING AS WELL AS RECEIVING. BUT THEY SEEM TO GET TURNED ON BY LISTREATMENT, PAIN, HUMILIATION.

    NOT SURE HOW IT WORKS EXACTLY.

This same person would probably do that anyway for people she's loyal to even if they didn't ask her nicely. When she describes her family situation, I get the feeling she secretly feels rather under appreciated, or simply is rather under appreciated.

    I wonder if I have her type wrong. Maybe this is being confused with the Myersian ISFJ (which she incidentally tests as).

    And of course most people would be willing to do just about anything for someone they're strongly devoted to... it was the "if you ask me nicely" part that seemed particularly striking to me.

    she sounds more ISFP.

    what I have in mind is the type of girl that goes to have an orgy, or the one who dates a gangster, the trophy wife, that sort of ting.

    One of my sisters, who I'm pretty sure is ISFj, has said this describes her. But she's not marrying a bad boy - ha, just the opposite! And the other ones I know are very supportive spouses, but they're certainly not being taken advantage of...

    yeah, this is more the idea i get. i don't see why ISFj = pushover. or why an ISFj would want to marry a bad guy. i would think the opposite.

    I don't have in mind being taken advantage off. I mean being treated roughly, hard, mean,

    They invest a lot on their spouses and expect a lot from them. They also pick spouses that have a good social standing. But not really nice boys. They often go for powerful and respected/feared guys. If they think you are a wimp, you are out.

    ENTjs also like it rough. But they want to be the boss.

    also, the iSFJ will notice your needs and go out of their to fulfill them. the opposite with ENTjs, they do not notice your needs and see no reason to fulifill them. they will hawever do almost anything to fulfil their own needs, so you can hook them up that way.

    And what exactly is this conclusion based on? Because the ISFjs I know are quite the opposite.

    That's a good example of someone approaching socionics without ever really bothering to understand socionics in its own terms.

    I think that that view of ENTjs and ISFjs only makes any -- sense if based on some Keirsey and MBTI description of ENTJ and ISFJ.

    So are male ISFjs supposed to like bad girls then? That definitely does not apply to me. I don't enjoy someone ordering me around; infact, it is major turn off.

    I don't understand where you are drawing your conclusion from Dio.

    Well I hope you're joking too. Anyway, I agree completely with ifmd

    You will find ISFjs to be somewhat aggressive when they dislike a person's behavior and they do not have an attachment-relationship with the person. You will not find them to be aggressive in their close interpersonal relations for a very obvious reason: you do not have a relationship if you quarrel, bitch and pester all the time - the opposite.

    And anecdotally, I would say ISFj's seem to expect someone sturdier than a Beta NF is described typically. Which interestingly enough is consistent with what I've noted earlier about Si POLR being less inert in "Jack London" than in "Hamlet".

    That's not to say I think ISFj's like "bad boys" but perhaps "they don't like wimps" has some truth. And although it's possible I'm confusing some INFj's for ISFj's - I wouldn't describe ISFj's as "bad girls". Anecdotally and in description, I think you'll find that character of person better fitting Beta ST. (although there could be some overlap in the sensing subtypes.)

    Interestingly enough this would also be consistent with FDG's observations that ISFj's aren't quite as confrontational as other users describe.
    You have the mental capacity of a 5 year old.
    Well I am back. How's everyone? Don't have as much time now, but glad to see some of the old gang are still here.

    You will find ISFjs to be somewhat aggressive when they dislike a person's behavior and they do not have an attachment-relationship with the person. You will not find them to be aggressive in their close interpersonal relations for a very obvious reason: you do not have a relationship if you quarrel, bitch and pester all the time - the opposite.
    Depends on the ISFJ, many bitch in order to get their needs met. Have you ever tried to get something from an ENTJ? It's almost impossible.
