    I do security consulting for banks as a career. Half the time I think if average people had a grasp of how easy it is on a widespread scale there would be a run on the banks, and the rest of the time I think they'd do what I've learned to do--shrug and say "it hasn't burned down, yet, so maybe it won't."

    If you really do this I am wishing you’d delete the post bc I have worked w some “gray hat” people on a project or two and worried they’d get overconfident. Seems like bragging or at least needing to talk about what they do is the thing that gets some ppl caught. Hope that doesn’t sound patronizing cos I assume you’re careful ... tho Lynx posted pix ostensibly of his real face and you two have a connection ... :/

    lol Thanks for the concern. It is appreciated. My job is all legal, though, so not much to sweat on that apart from privacy. Consulting pays less than crime but it's safer and I sleep easier

    Though paying taxes does get pretty annoying...

    Bankers are among the stupidest people on earth. The profession does not attract or require intelligent people.

    Investment firms, on the other hand, are filled with hyper-intelligent and seriously reckless and amoral people.

    I guess it’s clear now I’ve known some, and these particular ones are nice people with a skills set applied ... sometimes questionably.

    I've known a few myself and they were all really fun people with pretty bad judgement lol. One has fled the country which always stops me from feeling tempted to go that route.

    I went out to visit my cousin once and I drank air vaporiser for almost a week thinking it was cough medicine. I remember asking why it tasted like vicks vaporub and being told because "all cough medicine tastes like vicks." I was thinking, lady you pulled that out of your ass, but I continued having it anyway putting faith in my aunt and thinking that it was simply bad tasting cough medicine.

    Then one day, as I was about to have another drop, my cousin screams and slaps the bottle out of my hand. She's running around wildly and apologising profusely and I'm like "wut?". They all realise it's air vaporiser and freak out, meanwhile I am sitting there slowly nodding my head thinking "Oh, that makes a lot of sense. This thing tastes like shit and my cough still hasn't died down.".

    So now I don't put faith in anyone but myself and encourage everyone to read labels for THEMSELVES.

    I'm not emotional, in general. With one exception. My feelings to women. When I like a woman - I open my heart to her. She then may give me very good emotions or to hurt me very strongly even by minor actions. Sometimes the 2nd mb not seen, but I become unable to get the pleasure from the life and lose the interest to it.

    I meditated on idealised group dynamics this afternoon. This was what I came up with:

    For a start, the group must be offline.
    When we meet, we are always doing something creative and stimulating together, like an impromptu music practice, igniting wasps’ nests or breaking up a feminist protest. Then we eat and drink a lot.
    The atmosphere is fraternal, playful and enthusiastic with lots of jokes. People in the group are not rigid moralizers, and can entertain any idea without necessarily agreeing with it let alone taking it seriously.
    There shall be no “pecking order” or hierarchy within the group, and therefore no committee or official positions. Any member can suggest ideas and schedule events.
    The group “moves around” both ideationally (changing topics/perspectives) and physically (changing venues) to ensure that novel experiences continue.
    Cockblocking, shit stirring and power plays are forbidden and will result in expulsion from the group. Nobody pits a brother against his brother for selfish reasons.
    While women are welcome to participate in some activities (e.g. copulate with us), they cannot become members of the group and influence our maleness.


    Any suggestions for where I could look?

    Some people say that at 1st sight I look younger than I am on about 5-10 years. Psychically I do not feel myself other than was in that age. By men line the known relatives-men live some longer, keep relatively good health and working productivity on 5-15 years longer than in average. That could affect also the look. Some chance I may to have at least ~400 years of aristocrats by men line and this affected the genes.

    When I was eleven I fell in love with a created character whom I recently discovered was based on Brigitte Bardot (the prototypical ESI). The created character was introverted and sensing, pensive and beautiful, and in many ways, I still find her to be close to my ideal woman.

    as you said that most ESI women you dislike, then those ones who you think as your duals mb other types. your own type may differ too

    @Sol, I don't dislike ESI's, I just don't want to jump into bed with them at first sight, the way I do with LSI's.
    Part of this might be training. Now that I'm going out with some ESI's, I'm finding them a lot easier to hang out with. I find we're pretty compatible.

    You said that the ones typed by you to your duals are attractive for you very rarely. It's not what should to be. Among duals you should feel as sexually attractive ones more than average, as good type reduces the supressing of sexual attraction while the bodies are the same. What you notice can be explained by that IR are not your duals often, as you notice this situation systematically.
    The women I typed to my duals are rather cute and attractive for me more than average, - because I like them as persons and this rises the overal my attraction to them. Your case is different and against what is expected.

    Regarding Brigitte Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg (SEI) was nuts over her and he was in relationships with duals the later half of his life (at least with Jane Birkin and Bambou both ILE). Nothing I can find in the rare interviews of her tells me she's not ILE, Nicole Kidman who I think is ILE has that same camera-loving infantile walk/poses, and also in the Bonnie and Clyde clip below Gainsbourg seems to feel assured/purposeful with her at his side more than usual, and she could well be Fi polr. Just my two cents, doesn't mean I'm right.

    I read somewhere that Bardot was originally considered to be the prototype for ESI’s, rather than Dreiser.

    She would have been the only woman, then.

    Personally, I think Queen Elizabeth the second is a good prototype for ESI.

    In the childhood I had small collections of:
    - folding knives
    - flashlights
    - labels from bottles of carbonated drinks
    - anniversary coins
    - badge signes

    I'm still often attracted in shops to look what they sell among knives and flashlights. The reason holds me from spares on them, though I'd wish to get some relatively expensive models. I understand there will no be significant practical usage and are better ways to use those money.

    I also have some interest to old computer stuff and have some. Like P3 computer with ISA, Voodoo 5500, Vortex2, WinXP computer with hardware FM. Also I have made some noticable contributions to retro gaming.

    Have you developed some 2-ish traits over the years as an 8?

    I would not say so neccessarily. I partly identify with the possessive trait though, but that's a different discussion (sexual). I typed as 5w6 for many years because my type disintegrated under the pressure of external factors, it's first within the last two years that which I consider my true type have manifested itself.
