Lol, actually no. I find there is quite a difference in Ti/Fe dynamics with EIE vs IEI-Fe. Too much difference to just call IEI-Fe's simply fake EIEs

That may be due to my subtype too, tho'.


Several factors could come into play here.

It seems like Creative subtypes have a greater potential to be internally balanced, given their dual-seeking function is somewhat "boosted". In that manner, they are less likely to seek out someone who displays their Dual-seeking function. Creative subtypes will tend to look for someone that complements their subtype, so the search for the Dual-seeking function is less active.
Yeah, I actually relate to that.


Irrational subtype -> Drawn to Irrational temperament (Ip/Ep) and/or Irrational subtype. No particular preference for either F or T (F-F or T-T relation), apart from certain F/T leading types.
I see you added this, which F/T leading types would be the exception here?

I always had this unconscious expectation for at least some minimal Fe expressiveness so I never went for Fe PoLRs or for my Identicals but beyond that I didn't have a problem with T types for initial attraction at least. For longer term relationships, as I said I've not arrived to final conclusions yet though I do have to say that so far duality seemed to show the most promise (just failed to actually start real romantic relationship with duals so far, due to other, non-socionics factors).

(Another word on Fe PoLR and Identicals vs me: for friendship and intellectual talks some ILI's and LSI's seem fine, just not for anything beyond that. So it does look like this is a factor for me. Oh and LII's: the Ni demonstrative with low Se makes them seem interesting sometimes so they fare better in this area, lol)
