What do you guys think of duality outside of romance? What's the relationship like? There's generally a limit on intimacy, and as such on the benefits of duality, but aside from that, pretty cool, no?

I prefer EII friends to EII mates. They're really nice people, easy to get along with, and often fun.
Hmm........then who do you prefer as mates? :)Quote:

EIIs are great because they are someone who shares your disposition and you can get good feedback even if there is no emotional involvement or connection there.
I don't know about limiting the relationship because it's not romantic. It doesn't go to its 'full potential', but I think that's how most relationships that are non-romantic go. I think there are tons of practical benefits to having duals that are non-romantic - especially if they have similar life-paths or values or interests as you. In those cases, I feel like duals and other intra-quadra relationships can be seemingly invaluable. They are the people I tend to find myself wanting to seek out the most and stay in touch with the most.
Ryu, that is possibly the first time I have seen you use a smiley. :)
Abbie, maybe you just haven't met the right EII yet. :love:
Omg, the air is so thick with Te right now....... *faint*
That is probably the longest string of all-delta responses in a 16types thread outside of the delta quadra in a while. Good for you, deltas, the forum shouldn't just be beta playland.
My best friend is probably SLE, but I'm not sure. Good friendships make life easier, or at least less boring. On a somewhat related note, I bet Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Hallam were duals. But I can't quite picture Hallam as LSE, so I might have to change my typing of Tennyson.

I think some links are in order.
An LSE all out of composure, now this I would not miss for the world. :)Quote:
Sounds like that EII is going to have to 'meet' her. Abbie will be buttered up and falling over herself in no time.
You could've waited a few more posts before breaking the thread, lol.Quote:

Honestly, my dual friendships have been way better than my dual boyfriend. As in intimacy. I got the feeling that my ex was sort of afraid of a woman taking over his life or something. *eye roll* Therefore, he was rather distant. My friends don't have those inhibitions weighing on their minds.
Overall I find duality pretty fulfilling. I have to say that my EII best friend hears the full brunt of things when I'm really emotional about something. I don't really let that go around SLIs.

certainly not a non-delta such as yourself
Interestingly, it's my SLI friend/colleague that goes off on rants about everything that isn't working properly, and I'm the one who sits there, giving quiet moral support. (Of course, when I say "rant", this is the SLI version of a rant completely devoid of Fe.....more like an emphatic monologue, really).Quote:

If nothing else, Shag seems to be getting on well with the LSEs on the forum, so there's something, although, yes, he does continue to seem awfully Fe for an EII.
fine I retract my accurate statement <_<
Fe 7th function....I use it when I need to. ;)Quote:

My cousin's my dual; we never argue, we never fight, we go out, have a drink and laugh, she is so strict with time management; one day, when we were at Knotts Farm and about to leave, she turned around and screamed at everyone for not rushing out the exit door, and I knew this was rage. Kids get frightened by rage if they've never seen one, so I had to do damage control to make sure that the little ones didn't start to cry. I softly reminded my cousin to keep that rage under control and that we weren't going to be late for anything...providing reassurance about how things will work out always helps my dual cousin calm down.
OMGoodness...I have use of most of my brain you know and there's just not only Fi in here.
Look at model A and of Ni...it's in spot 8th spot in my functions; corresponding to weakness in Dual function 4; it's an interplay of how ones' strength assures another's weakness, without making waves...or arguments...because of this function, I don't procrastinate, and I regulate time and can schedual actions at appropriate times, and I am an undemanding regulator of time, as in I don't put stress on people who don't show up on time, etc.
"The Humanist also foresees well the outcome of undertakings and relations. He recognizes well the perspectives of new theories or technologies and he is among the first to struggle for their implementation."
It was mostly that you said your ESTj cousin always likes that sort of reassurance, whereas I feel like if I told an ESTj what I thought was going to happen, they'd just be pissed off and annoyed because I was making statements without a rational basis. That being said, I suppose everybody likes to hear "it's going to turn out fine." I guess.
What gets me is that Shabag's responses, like that, strike me as EXTREMELY the same way that beta NFs respond to things. That response in and of itself makes reminds me of an EIE who is excited when it starts to see a lightening up of someone who is otherwise reserved - an LSI, so to say.
I had some good friends in highschool who were ESTp. we would have alot of fun causing trouble / drinking / skateboarding. Really a fun relationship..
