    Default Since Learning Socionics...

    When I see people, and I think, "wow, you're a good/nice/cool/friendly/pleasant/likeable person," my next thought is frequently, "huh, I hope they hook up with a dual person." Like I was looking at this LIIs facebook (cause I was bored so I was spinning through my facebook friends), and I was like, "I really hope dude finds a nice ESE somewhere." I need to open up a dual matchmaking service.

    But I can't bring myself to wish LSEs on EIIs. I just think, "I wish you had a cooler dual." No offense to LSEs on this board. But the ones I've met irl I have not particularly been fans of. I guess what I really mean is that I can't figure out what would be so appealing to an EII about an LSE---but that's why LSEs aren't my dual, lol.

    But yeah. It sort of irks me to think that people could in theory increase their average happiness by hanging out with more duals, and then I think, well darn it, if people *could* theoretically be more happy, they should be!

    So yeah. I want people to hang out with, date, be friends with, etc., their duals. Now I just need to mastermind a plot to sneakily hook people up with duals.
    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...

    I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

    But why limit yourself? I mean my core friend groups majority type is non-beta and I really couldn't be happier.

    So you'll play matchmaker behind the scenes? A beta group I once spent time with did that to me and tried to use socionics and failed (they paired ILI-IEI). All I can say is that I have since cut off relations to them. The funny thing about it is that they did the exact same thing to my identical friend and it turned out exactly the same way...

    And what do you personally dislike about LSEs? I don't know many irl, and any ones I think may be LSEs are enjoyable company though I've had limited contact with them. The socionics page makes them seem fun enough..

    And yeah, groups tend to not be based on quadra or at least I've noticed.

    Me too actually, but I dunno, I think everyone should know at least one dual. Especially if you find two people who are both healthy, capable individuals, why not add another layer of positive-ness?

    I didn't mean just duals, btw. I just meant at least one.

    And what do you personally dislike about LSEs? I don't know many irl, and any ones I think may be LSEs are enjoyable company though I've had limited contact with them. The socionics page makes them seem fun enough..
    It bothers me that they care about things I see as irrelevant and expect others to care about them too. They seem to routinize things that just shouldn't be forced into a routine. They expect me to focus on practical details that I'm just not capable of focusing on (and that have little big picture impact, or so it seems), and then act like it's a crime to have failed to do so. Plus they think I'm weird and don't think it's cute.

    And yeah, groups tend to not be based on quadra or at least I've noticed.
    I think many but not all long-term friendships tend to have some quadra similarities/complementary functions. My most long term friends are SLE, ILI, and LSI, but I think every real group I've hung out with has included significant representation of at least two quadras, and the one I hang out with most now is all over the place, socionics wise. I have a blog post about it, although I think I might have since revised some of the typings.
    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    They are appealing because most look great physically; I like their hearty and healthy sexuality and physicality. They like to take control in the physical sense and that creates a sense of healthy physicality. I like that most of my duals are intellectuals and are well educated; we can have very good conversations about wide range of topics. They can be very caring and sensitive once you're in their inner circles, but complete jerks, and some are rather unapproachable when they don't know you yet, according to their terms of getting to know someone. When you are in the inner circle, they can care deeply about having hurt your emotions and are very sensitive, honorable, and care taking (cooking, cleaning, massaging).

    I haven't had much luck dating them because I always meet the push away flag. DEAD END.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    I can't either on many days. I have hope thought that they will chose and love. I support my duals in their endeavors.

    My point is that an LSE does that for me. It's just one of the many reasons why I heart them.

    Go for it. Promise though that you will report back to me when it doesn't work out. I'm always curious about how things go when people mistype themselves and get into bad relationships.

    rofl.

    @april, maritsa, nah, no problem, threadjack away. It's one of the things I like about this place.
    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...

    I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

    Maritsa wouldn't like that, since she's IEI.
