Having se in ego doesn't mean you are a superman, it's not an advantage just a way you see the world. Aggressors think of pursuit, victims think of being pursued
Also, its far easier in my experience to be some kind of aggressor initially in a bar, pub, night club setting. As well as a more public setting such as a grocery store, campground, and sometimes cafe, then it is to be an aggressor at school. This is because school comes with many more social conventions then some other setting. She may or may not reciprocate your interest, or on the other side, it may complicate hers and yours school life. It might not also be the most appropriate time to explore something with her.
So instead of calling yourself a pussy, you should better yet congratulate yourself on having the inner wisdom to first feel out the situation over the course of time, making sure you are certain that an advance will not jeopardize any factor in your life, large or small. You might also want to feel proud of the fact that you are not some blundering Se base ego, but a more thoughtful, reflective person who is entirely capable and adept at seeing the subtle nuances before making some kind of move romantically. (If in fact striking up some kind of relationship could be considered 'making a move' - so tacky this popular line of thinking).
In regards to ISFj, keep in mind they are a carefree type, meaning experimentation is the main stay of your personality. In other words, you need to try it out before you get good at anything. I can't even remember the amount of times I have faced some sort of rejection before I became immune to them. Those were always hard in the first place because I would rather not take the initiative and in doing so on numerous occasions I put myself out there and received nothing in return except a lesson.
Overall, in my experience I would say just go for it. If it works great, if it doesn't, then at least you don't regret, nor are left wondering "what if?" (ISFj weak spot)
Off topic....one of my posts is missing in this thread.... Did a mod delete it?....
Nvm.... It was moved. Cooollll.
It's not like you even think of perusing in some kind of conscious, hunter and prey kind of form. You just that want to see them again and can understand at a gut level that you are the one that needs to facilitate that happening. That could look like anywhere from making yourself available to them, to moving the pieces in your life around to make room for their presence, to standing firmly in your desire to be with them, even when they put out some 'trouble'. Romantically and sexually it also looks like an ability to separate yourself from them briefly in order to, I hate to use the word objectify, but perhaps better yet, objectify the situation more then them as a person. The introverted aggressors are a WHOLE other beast then the extroverts as well.
Objectification is necessary.
Ah, my bad. So you want to explain it maybe?

not that cynical as in hunter and prey, but the drive to "push them against a wall" should come very naturally with Se ego.
I suggest that the OP should type Ni/Ne ego. I promise I'll try to pretend I see some substance in what he says.
Such consistent black-white thinking. Tis sad... Considering your age.
(See see.... Others can utilize your tacky tactics too....!!!)
I'm a total pussy when it comes to like and love.
I may make jokes a lot in order to peak their interest, but if they show little signs of interest... Nurp... I back away and feign oblivious. On the occassions I have pushed someone against a wall.. It's been longterm relationships and I did it as a "joke". Plus I majorly lack coordination.
In terms of persuing vs being persued... I prefer the former. But I do it in a goofy way. I do like the other person to reciprocate.
In terms of pursuing, not persuing ...no, you don't turn me on.
not even when you try to pump up your Se and use the category of age (how ti-mid) in your black-and-white thinking.
maybe if I were American, I would find u hot though. I may have a thing for Mediterranean or Slavic looks.
my comment wasn't meant to be "to your liking".
of course I do. And all the Se egos I've been with were "aggressive" like that. But then again the dude is not even 20, right. ...he prolly has very little actual experience in dating&sex, so mby he has his reasons to be shy and retractile. And then again I'm Sx first which adds some nuance, I guess.
It would be cool to actually have a conversation about this topic instead of it descending into some kind of look at me I know so much about socionics type war. Maybe, you know, like take ****** at their face value and maybe consider that what they are saying has a little smidgen of merit and that sometimes it is actually quite a junk of time out of the day where they have to sit down and really think about what they want to write and how that writing relates to the truth they are trying to illuminate? Like, ya.
wacey probably mistook the type of conflict (or "war"). It was "I know too much about hypocritical passive aggressive pussies" and I'm hearing the same kind of shit again --- same as last week and the week before. "Tell me I shouldn't kill myself coz I am not Sx, charismatic, strong enough. eeeeetc." (choose your attribute and he'll come asking folks why others have it and he lacks it).
He should actually change his pills or his therapist if what he's already doing doesn't work.
Well, I have taken a liking to him, so I'll just decide for myself how I will talk with him as well as discern the situation. Same privilege as you.
Aggression with ESI is different from the beta ST's, and even the flirtatious SEE. LIE are touchy individuals who require a lot of finesse. A lot of letting them think they are running the show and tons of aquiesing. They are not known as cavalier for nothing. Sometimes the one who gives in is the aggressor. Sometimes the one who decides the "time and place sex is happening" is the aggressor. Or victim? Things get complex in my experience.
And I'm talking in very, very close relationships here, NOT the fly by night friday night fuck and chucks; or the "where is this going-ings?"; or the "why do you make me do crazy things I'll probably regret cause I need to knows?". Those are all different from the keepers. The keepers require compromise.
If you can't agree then go and join the LSIs. hah!

just that you're contradicting yourself. you are trying to rationalize his weakness through Socionics. it's not due to LIEs, but some personal failures and self-subversive habits that he always complains and simultaneously throws shit at others to make up for his experiences. this may actually only prolong his situation, but who cares.
trying to meet people in bars isn't easy.
I guess its your prerogative to point that all out to him. Must mean he matters to you, or something. Plus, "weakness"? I see no weakness in this guy. Just an average thoughtful young guy, coming into his own, sharing his observances of the world :/
your Fiiiiling-and-relationsheeps radars are fucked up.
the other one sounds overly-motherly and gay. sounds like you wanna give him a blow job instead.
but I know you don't actually hold a grudge coz I inadvertently corrected your creepy spelling in my previous post instead of telling you I dislike you and find you pathetic.

(I dislike the hug smiley because tis corny.. But for you..Ima press it).
What's wrong Amber, why are you so snarky?
wacey, I don't like you, you don't like me. let's stop here. I understand that you have a thing for suede, but asking why someone is snarky after u admitted on being sarcastic urself is a contradiction in behavior and thinking. not to my liking.
aaah
You win Amber, I give up.
Pussies come in all sizes shapes and colors.
Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

@suedehead Early 20s can be a strange time. From my experience there's a pressure that emerges--one begins to feel there is a time limit to get all the big things in life sorted out: career, relationship, life direction...overall destiny. It's my opinion I want to offer that it's good to use that decade to take time to find your way so as to be sure...as opposed to just checking things off one-by-one in order to feel that you are making "any kind" of progress. Typically, the ones who succumb to the pressure before they're ready generally end up with regrets.
You won't "turn yourself on", but you will turn someone else on who seeks what you naturally have. Don't be afraid to get it wrong a few times before you get it right. You can change your sociotype, the ideal partner type you are looking for, your sexual preference. Your strengths and weaknesses will evolve and shift while you discover what works for you, and makes you happy with and over time. You really have much more time than you probably think to figure things out.
Regarding the "event" you recalled--it's so very common for all types to react as you did. If I suggested something for a date at 17, and someone put it down, it would be SO natural to back off out of insecurity. It's also possible that the EIE girl was trying to either look cool or more exciting by claiming that movies are boring. If the SLE in the end, was ultimately only a "fuckbuddy", then he didn't really get the whole package anyway.
If you are ILE and/or can't relate or use my thoughts for any constructive purpose, that's ok. But please know my intent is well-meaning.

One event that shows that I'm probably not Victim-Aggresdor is this event that happened when I was 17. I was talking to an EIE girl and told her to go to the movies with me and she said "the movies are boring. Lol.' and I froze up like a pussy. A male aggressor would've gotten past that and aggressively charmed her. She thought I was cute, but I was too androgynous for her, and I spent the rest of senior year hating the guts of her SLE fuckbuddy.
most SLEs I know are very daring and caveman-like, but totally boring and bland outside the bedroom. Not saying suede is sophistication incarnated, but he found the right type to compare himself to.
Female SLEs can be pretty interesting though. Right now I'm working with one on an e-book on Why Older Men Hit on Younger Women. I'm late and she's pretty lovely when she's trying to apply pressure to make me send her the stuff soon. Apparently she'll look for another writer and she'll contact me if she doesn't find a better one.
...most women aren't attracted to my traits. I'm closed-off, non-transparent and I'm not a cheesing fratboy like floyd fucking mayweather. I'd even say I'm creepy, and I have no interest in changing my basic demeanor. A girl isn't going to feel comfortable around me and that's a dealbreaker.
You're right--a girl isn't going to feel comfortable around you AS YOU ARE NOW...in this phase you're stuck in. You are in an unsuccessful and self-perpetuating cycle, and it isn't working. You have generalized (erroneously--in my opinion) what you think women want, and then because that disappoints you, you are making them the enemy and refusing to attempt to give it to them. Why would you only want that kind of girl who WANTS the frat boy?? You are trying to emulate their "apparent" rejection of you, by bitterly doing the same thing back to them...exactly who is winning here? This is a phase--you can and you will figure it out. Ironically, the early 20s are a "perfect storm" where maturity and immaturity collide. Where idealism, loss of innocence, increasing responsibility and a desire to quickly find and establish one's place in the world combine and go haywire.
Try to remain as authentic and true to yourself during what is temporarily a crappy time for you. Resist things that try to turn you into something you know you're not, or else don't want to be. If EIE girl says "movies are boring", then say how you really feel in response: "if it's a good movie, I disagree that they're boring", or "me too but I was hoping we could do something together"--then you will get a true response instead of walking away without the information that will allow you to either proceed with her or move on. Speaking of movies...I'm very partial to Perks of Being a Wallflower, since I lived in Pittsburgh for 5 years. It has such a good message, and it applies to what you are going through.
Don't rule out other kinds of girls! Please believe that many don't want a frat boy--and in your case it could just be the timing, because most females in their late 20s want anything but! Maybe the EIE "event" was a fail because SHE's insecure, superficial, or image conscious and will only date frat boys. Maybe because a fellow Beta was a better match for her. Maybe you DO have your Socionics type incorrectly identified. Or maybe you're ESI and your weak Ni can't see the end of a very short frat phase of life that has a 4-year shelf life.
Maybe through time and when you work through some of this shit that's causing you distress and resentment, you will find you can connect better with more (female) people. We're not all going to end up with supermodel gods/goddesses as partners. And once you find your One, you won't WANT them to be. Look at Hollywood in order to see that beauty or "frat appeal" is not co-related to life and relationship happiness. Try to accept you are going through a difficult phase, cut yourself some slack. Many people later look back on their "younger selves" with regrets that they didn't realize they were beautiful and wonderful and just hadn't known it.
Just do your best so you can live without regrets
Dude, don't let other people have that much power over you (especially women, since their judgments strike deeper -- it's an impulse we're not socialized out of). You're fighting your own mind when you do all the work of projecting cynicism onto yourself.
Fallback and isolate yourself for a period, develop a creative talent, something substantial to fall back on to strengthen your self-image.

^ yeah basically.
i was walking down the street telling myself the exact same stuff just yesterday, only switch "women" for "men." (men are generally less selective initially, but it can be equally shitty from the other side)
the key is to really, truly feel that when you consistently let your self-esteem be so tied to projections of other people's neg perceptions of you, it's giving everyone else crazy amounts of unwarranted power. which isn't to say there isn't still the real, day to day responses of needing to be appreciated, to be desirable, etc, which is human and keeps ppl from becoming sociopaths. but there's a separate core that can ride those up and down waves.
(sry i'm self-therapizing a bit lol)
p.s. as far as i can tell, attractive men get rejected for sex and stuff all the time. also women can generally tell if all you feel for them is lust, some will go for it and others won't. a lot of it is the structures of desire and power dynamics between men and women, a lot of it is circumstantial.
edit: take my statements w/ a grain of salt actually, i'm still mostly a naive introverted shut-in

The first several times I had sex where with ugos. You have to crawl through the mud to get to the beach. You don't just get the hot chicks right off the bat if you are a virgin. Lower your standards and enjoy yourself a bit more for christ sakes. There are plenty of great second stringers out there! Is it them who is superficial, or is it you? Or, is it just plain old fear? Cause, that shit is universally felt by everyone alive, hot or not.
So, what is with all the hangups? Or better yet, what IS the hangup?
ofc not, that's surely positive outlook
