    Red face Beta Duality

    Just share any picture (preferably), video, description etc. that reminds you specifically of Beta Duality.

    I'll start with a picture that had a strong & classic male SLE - female IEI vibe to me.

    In private:



    I was looking through some old diaries yesterday and found something that made me laugh. I had written a quote that an SLE had said to me before I knew of socionics. To put it in context, I had a reaction to medication that makes me sensitive sometimes. I also tend to go through periods where I am clumsy for no particular reason so I bump into things and might bruise more easily. Anyway the SLE would come up and squeeze me, which was fine before the muscle pain started. I was not that fragile before. After it started he seemed to forget a lot because he would squeeze me or throw a leg over me and I would say," ow, be gentle with me please, I'm a delicate flower now". to which he would respond. "I gotta beat ya up a little bit now and then. Let people know you're mine". Then we would both laugh. I think if he had gone all, "omg, I'm so sorry!" it would have freaked me out. I would not have expected that response from him.

    I know it might have seemed an inappropriate response from him for some who knew the situation but I just found it endearing. My feelings weren't hurt at all but if someone else said the same thing I might have been annoyed by it and thought they weren't taking my pain serious. Just one of those weird things.

    For some reason, the guy gives me a Gamma vibe. The female seems to be IEI, though.

    Lol, some of the pictures seem a bit too universal and apply to male-female in general, while others seem a bit too extreme.

    I've read a lot about the romantic styles recently and identified them in a few people I know, and I see the SLE - IEI pair as more like this...

    cd2c0972046f74eec7ae6d983598b831.jpg

    where the SLE isn't some club-wielding, barbaric rapist and the IEI isn't some easy tag-along slutbag.

    Just saying.

    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

    Perhaps. Maybe he's an ISTj.
    I just got the impression he is being territorial (Se) and protective of her. While she is the Victim looking into the distant future, being a bit agitated. He calms her down.

    But I could see the guy being similar to a care-taking ST Delta from the perspective of a Delta NF.
    Maybe this image is a bit neutral in this respect. It is more open to interpretation than the first one I've posted.

    That is why she is clutching her breast in a protective gesture and her wings are tucked back and down like the downward laying ears of a dog in submission. She is also reaching out with one arm and opening her eyes wide simultaneously, which shows she is curious about the dragon. Fear and wonder are what she is feeling. Her mouth is in a classic open gaping gesture which denotes surprise. What is surprising her in this moment? She is staying very still as can be seen with the dragons saliva dripping on her leg. Is she aware of the drip and choses not to pay attention for fear her movement will startle the beast? Does she chose not to move because she is so mesmerized and locked in a enthralling dance of fear and curiosity? I believe the artist is asking us to wonder.

    There is a hint of amusement in the dragon's eyes...
    Lol interesting you see amusement in the dragon's eyes. I just see a primal and aggressive focus in them. I see nothing emotional beyond that. That's an in-the-moment attitude though, readiness to attack, yet holding back, checking out things. Nothing is determined yet.

    The girl isn't running though because she feels in control of the situation in some strange way. She is also somewhat displaying a careful watching mode for sure but at the same time she's open for something more from the dragon. I'm not sure what that "something more" is. It all might be a sinister passion somehow.

    Also, I don't think her wings are tucked in the way like the submissive dog's ears. Just simply at rest, indicating that the girl is not thinking about fleeing.

    So, overall, to me, they are sizing up each other on first contact with complex attitudes of interest. What really took my attention in this picture was the postures/poses, the way they are looking at each other checking each other out, the suspense of them waiting before anything else happens. You also put it well when you said they were mesmerized at each other.

    The other thing that took my attention was that I instantly drew a psychological parallel about how you can descend deeper in your mind to see what's hiding there and it invoked an interesting feeling/impression.

    @hatesyardwork Feel free to analyse my perspective too haha

    Frazetta's work is beautiful, a stunning talent. Very underappreciated. Not familiar with RB and LR (will check them out) but saw a documentary about Frazetta that was amazing. I recommend the doc......Painting with Fire, or something like that. Who did your avatar? Fits in the Frazetta genre.

    Yeah, love his work. I found this avatar years ago while looking for the perfect desktop image. I looked for the artist a couple of times but don't remember ever finding out who it was. I wish people would not edit art to the point you can no longer find the original artist. I feel like google image search used to be better.

    I see a lot more detail with it in the thread. Not Frazetta, her ass is too small.........his girls all have the Amazon look. Why does this piece resonate with you, despite the beauty. Is she a powerful or vulnerable woman?

    I see her as vulnerable and at the complete mercy of the dragon.

    That is why she is clutching her breast in a protective gesture and her wings are tucked back and down like the downward laying ears of a dog in submission. She is also reaching out with one arm and opening her eyes wide simultaneously, which shows she is curious about the dragon. Fear and wonder are what she is feeling.

    Your observation is interesting as well. Everyone will interpret it different, if socionics holds any water. That's what's interesting, your take is different from Aylen. You notice details and CONTEXT. Aylen mentioned physical and emotional PRESENCE. Everyone is hugely different, even in a simple art thread. Not typing anyone, just saying we all see shit different. Socionics fascinates the shit out of me.l

    Beta duality? I chose it as my avatar for a specific reason.

    I thought this image nicely captures the Beta Victim-Aggressor dynamic.
    On the outside, the interaction may seem quite aggressive, but both people are actually having fun with it.

    Somehow I feel like this female could be Beta Aggressor (likely LSI-Se), and the guy Beta Victim (possibly EIE-Ni).

    Nope, that tactics -of being completely indifferent- works only for Se base types, all Aggressors only have one thing in common: they know what they want and will go after that. Implementation details differ beyond that.

    I'll start with a picture that had a strong & classic male SLE - female IEI vibe to me.

    Interesting idea, why don't you make a similar thread for gamma duality

    I was waiting for a Gamma person to see this thread and feel compelled to create one – maybe that was me being a patient Ni lead? Haha.
    I just thought it would be best if someone of each Quadra came up with a thread like this.
    But now that you've mentioned me... I'll do it.

    All IEIs are redhead with green eyes, all LSIs are absolutely gorgeous black haired women, SLE women are mostly blond haired with "don't fuck with me but love me" attitude, EIE are normal women, they blend in the pack. This theory is as accurate as socionics I'd say :-D (but srsly, all IEIs are redheads with green eyes)

    This @SisOfNight is the closest to an IEI on this thread as I experience them.
