SEE singing about ILI (adele is SEE and this song is about her imaginary perfect lover)
Really, sis, this seems to me to be much more about how the IEI sees the LIE. The LIE is not trying to hurt the IEI. but his supervision does, anyway. The IEI supervisee super-victim admires the LIE on some level and, as you say, supports his advances, but in the end "there is a lack of true aggressive pull/force on his part."
I don't think ESI's see the LIE this way at all. But IEI's sure do.
Think about it. If ESI's saw LIE's that way, lungs would have "gotten it" immediately.

hmm. after my initial reaction, i interpreted the picture the same way sis did. ive been retyped intuitive and accused of masochism so much here that i thought i should keep it to myself in case it wasn't what she meant. i do think the violence and blood is a bit much, and the woman in the picture a little too yielding and unaware (head back, eyes closed), but the general spirit makes sense to me.
The picture kind of reminds me of the relationships between Gambit and Rogue from the X-men comics, where there is strong passion between two people that can't touch each other because one will essentially harm the other my touching them.
There is a sexual tension that eventually gives, despite the harm that will done to her. It does have a masochistic theme as she no longer seems to care what will happen to her as sexual appetite seems more immediate and desired and needs to be appeased.
When I first saw this image, my first thought was only "Gamma NT (relation)". It did not even specify as LIE in my mind.
But perhaps it just shows a good example of what Gamma relations might look like to an IEI from afar. I knew the picture was "exaggerated" in its harmfulness and so forth, but... I just felt like it demonstrated well how a Gamma NT might feel about their Pseudo-Aggressor-ness in some way.
@SisofNite.......any victim-victim Harlequin romance type artist depictions out there? You have quite an eye for this stuff.
Oh, so the image got removed from the site I posted it on...
Did anyone save it by chance and could repost it here?
I save some things but I didn't save that. (I sometimes wonder if civilization progresses because we don't keep certain things.)
The loss of your linked picture from this thread points out the problem of not controlling content. Companies which keep their data on the cloud are betting their business on a lot of tenuous, and sometimes foolish, assumptions.

“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
I think some of these depict esis in a bit too aggressive way, i guess they can be like that when really horny but it doesnt seem to be their standard behavior.
The first pic is pretty good.
♀SEE singing/thinking about her ♂ILI lover.
I could see that happening. The ILI male really isn't expecting the sensuous SEE girl to show any interest but is in no way going to reject it and actually welcomes it when she offers. Indeed, he actually gains confidence in expressing himself thanks to her influence as the vid progresses. Till at the end he's flat out dancing and doing things to command attention that he'd never have dreamed of attempting without her influence. Hope I meet such a girl one day .
I struggle to work out who is who in these pictures.

Yeah, I was so shell shocked when my dual left me.
Felt like someone had ripped me apart.
Now I'm really ripped.

These people often have an earthy, mysterious quality to them. They are slow to commit, but once they do it is with an attitude of life commitment, to the establishment of an impermeable bond. Others can be taken aback by how suddenly and completely this type can lock into them, and by the depth of understanding of the other’s condition. They attach to others at an organic, root level, in contrast to the other subvariant’s surface formality. The sanctuary of home is of paramount concern, and this type takes particular delight in decorating their spaces to reflect their cherished sense of taste and depth. Depth and discrimination characterize this stacking.
Motivation: to live in a secure, comfortable environment where they can pursue their private interests in depth.

SEE male - ILI female
It pretty much epitomises Stratiyevskaya's depiction of SEE-ILI duality:
"ILI is inclined to gloomy predictions regarding the future, and thus he will tactically test and re-test his partner to assure himself that in the future this person will not let him down. Only an individual who is exceptionally enterprising, who readily takes initiative, who is "ethically brave" and able to love "without fear and regret" and "gift" others with his love as the sun shines its rays upon the earth, only such a person would be able to counter and dispel ILI's doubts. The ILI "blossoms" receiving such love. This love, first of all, brings pleasure to the SEE himself, and ILI greatly values this trait in his dual."

ILI-SEE. It makes me laugh how the author represents the "mental barriers" that put the ILI and how SEE break them "with brute force". I wish I could read Russian, I do not know what is written

It's really interesting how all the ILIs are posting very victim-ish depictions of ILI-SEE duality. I think the term "psuedo-aggressor" should be used exclusively for LIEs while ILIs go into the same victim bracket as Beta NFs.
I believe 'pseudo-aggressor' arises from the ILI/LIE's general attitude towards life. I and other ILIs I know of have no issue pushing our point and getting things done. It is only in the relationship sphere where ILI/LIE may exhibit more passivity in fostering a closer bond (hence them being pseudo-aggressors). Gamma NTs can initiate conversations, dates or relationships. However, the person initiating the bonding is almost always the Gamma SF. I was the one to engage my current boyfriend when others were too intimidated to talk to him because of how unapproachable he was (he is likely ESI-Se/SEE-Fi) though he was the one who first became interested and had to convince me of his sincerity. That involved him breaking down my walls quite a bit, since I found it easy enough to interact with him but did not think I could trust him with my vulnerabilities yet.
Additionally, pseudo-aggressor may simply be societal perception of the dominant one in the relationship. Even now I, as the ILI, am very much the one setting the direction of the relationship/our lives and giving him 'task lists', which others have perceived as me ordering him around and him following my orders way too willingly. (Though that is not my intention, and he appreciates my lead in this regard). He is simply the sort to find delight in doing things for his loved ones, which may be misinterpreted as submissiveness. (Notably, such an interpretation is usually taken by our EIE and SLE acquaintances)
Therefore, I wouldn't say that ILIs' victim tendencies are equivalent to Beta NFs because Gamma NTs' Ni-Te cognition is also a facet of the relationship. The pictures posted are probably more representative of Gamma SF persistence in breaking down Gamma NT walls to forge a deep bond. (And ILI probably has thicker walls than LIE, hence SEE needing more force to break through)

I agree with some of this but disagree with others.
I somewhat agree with this. To me, victims and aggressors are like matadors and bulls.In fact, ILI is constantly provoking the initiative of his dual, making him chase himself, exhausting him in tactical games, cooling down his passions, extinguishing his fierceness, knocking down his ambitions, taking away some of the "harmful", "destructive" energy of his dual. Once ILI manages to "calm down" and "humble" his dual, he builds a relationship with him as an equal. He can take on a generously patronizing tone that, most interestingly, the SEE will hold up and support. Strategically SEE can get caught up in the "lethargic and apathetic" tactics of Balzac, who slowly and good-naturedly lures him into various traps, from which, as a rule, he is unable to get out. ILI "locks in" SEE onto himself, graciously accepting all of SEE's care and allocating his strengths for himself, such that much less is left to be applied to others. For example, having won over an ILI in a prolonged and difficult struggle with his previous wife, a SEE woman has sent her own son to a boarding school and wholly devoted herself to the care after him and her stepson (who remained at home).
The Beta Aggressor likes to think they are in complete control when really the Beta Victim is guiding their force in the right direction, and should the Beta Aggressor discover he is being manipulated or used, he may become hostile toward the Beta Victim similar to how a Bull which has caught on to the Matador will ignore the red cape and attack the Matador instead. In terms of Gammas, the Gamma Aggressor (Bull) is aware she is being guided by the Gamma Pseudo-Aggressor (Matador) and may even like it when he indirectly lets her know it in a playfully patronizing or sarcastic tone.
Tbh, I was being sarcastic when I said that. ILIs are very much pseudo-aggressors and are often uncomfortable with the connotations of being called a victim, hence why I jested about ILIs being put on the same level of victimness as Beta NFs based on the descriptions here
I've read a lot on romantic styles (particularly this quadra as it's my own) and my take on it is the term "Pseudo-Aggressor" is really just a nice way of saying "Bad Boy". For LIEs their descriptions of being the charismatic CEO playboy who is "tamed" into a loyal partner is rather accurate, but with ILIs the descriptions tend to seem a bit too Beta-ish, probably made by types of another quadra (likely by Beta NFs). After interacting with ILIs here and some I suspect irl, they are without a doubt just like LIEs but are distinctly different in a few places. Where the LIE is upbeat and charismatic, the ILI tends to be edgy, negative, insensitive, and rather anti-social. Depending on how socially calibrated he is, he can come across as either an insensitive yet gentlemanly Casanova type, or as the anti-social, insensitive and somewhat arrogant type...(too bad it's typically the latter ). ILIs will suddenly out of nowhere go ice-cold on their partner, e.g. sending the partner crying to her friends about why he is being this way, only for said partner to quickly refuse to give up and to pursue him relentlessly. ILIs break contact like this because at the end of the day, just like how the Beta Aggressor is playing a sadistic game to test just how much his partner can handle, the Gamma Pseudo-Aggressor is playing a rather twisted game to test whether or not his partner will "break" and cease to pursue him. In the case of LIEs, this seems to be done by flirting with other women in the presence of the ESI to get a reaction out of them, as if to force them into competing for the LIE, while with ILIs this is done by suddenly breaking off contact with the SEE to test whether or not they have the willpower to re-establish contact, and if either of the Gamma Aggressors "break" and give up their pursuit then the Gamma Pseudo-Aggressor thinks along the lines of "Oh well, she was just far too weak-willed in the end", but ultimately the Gamma Aggressor has a hard time just giving up and is determined to peel away at the bad boy "facade" she perceives, hence why she is so deeply won over once the Pseudo-Aggressor acts unlike his charismatic playboy or antagonistic bad boy image and shows indirect signs of submission, as if a sign that she has won a battle against him and is one step closer to her goal of taming her dual.
@Resonare
good stuff. I would be interested in hearing how you see/think this dynamic plays out in beta? judging by how insightful the gamma one seems to be.
This is incredibly accurate. I think SEE is probably the only partner that will not go crying to her friends when ILI does the ice-cold thing...mainly because we 1. barely notice, as we are out living our lives; and 2. If we want to talk to you, we will just text you.
These little power plays ILI does? They only do it because they know they are actually really weak around SEE. In that sense, it's flattering.
I'm just an effin ray of sunshine
I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I started describing it for Betas after I called out Betas for describing it wrong for Gammas.
Yeah but i think you missed the point. I'm drawing a comparison between the way both the matador and the victim redirect the energy and focus of their respective opposites.
That actually happened irl back in high school between someone I know was SEE and someone else who may have been ILI or just playing the SEE. She took the blow off very personally at first and it got out that she apparently cried in private to her friends, but it didn't take too long for her to bounce back and start chasing.
You'll like this, it shows SEE-ILI courting at it's best, with cheesy card game dramatics
You've hit the nail on the head @Resonare. I want a true conquer, a real empress of a woman who walks up to me and claims me as hers and hers alone. I may be a "beta" bitch in wanting that to happen but I'm still a "victim" type in the end and, if she just so happens to be an type then we're still ultimately peas in a pod. She wants to conquer the world with a good challenge, good thing I know exactly how to give her such a challenge! Sadly, the world seems to hate confrontation... I may be a "victim" type, but I will never just roll over. You want me to bow down to you? Earn that right, for I will never bow down "just because" everyone tells me to.
Example of SEE-ILI romance style.
George Ezra seems SEE to me. All the women in the video seem ILI. He's implying that Cassy O' is a human calculator, one of the ILI women stubs her toe on a chair (low Se), and the lyrics state that Cassy O' wants to take a break from the relationship. However, George is asking her not to go.
Confirms @Resonare's brilliant post above pretty well.
Plus, it's a great song. Thanks go to @May for introducing George Ezra to me.

If your type is correct it is no wonder. I'm your dual, that means that I hit all the right spots. I mean for god's sake, no would be conquer wants it to be easy. They don't want it to be too hard/impossible of course, but easy conquests make them feel robbed. They want to see those walls tumble, but only tumble because they and they alone knew exactly when and where to hit them. They want an accomplishment, and I fully understand that drive. A wall with a reputation of steel and impregnability that inspires fear and hesitation in most other people actually being a wall of paper painted to look like a wall of steel will piss them off to no end. They wanted to topple that impregnable wall of steel damnit! This wall of paper... I've been robbed! I *demand* a wall of steel worthy of that reputation! How dare you mock me by presenting to me this farce!
That's a real conqueror's mindset IMO. Oh? Nobody can conquer it? Give me enough good X, Y, and Z, and I'll conquer the shit out of it. If you do so, you'll be surprised at how gratefully the current owner will serve you. Finally, FINALLY, someone figured out this (to them) fucking obvious puzzle! Ya finally figured it out, ya gave the answer everyone else was too much of a pussy to even articulate. I'm all yours, take me home! Metaphorically speaking that is .
