    EII defers to LSE on many decisions (that the EII orchestrated behind the scenes) as though they are LSE idea. "Well what about this (consideration)?" "Or that?" Or that?" Or this?" (note the Ne here) LSE feels useful and EII gets real support, which lets them feel safe. Safe EII feel comfortable being silly in a playful sense, but can turn that off quickly for 'business'. EII notice small unconsidered details and feels useful in return, with reminding LSE. LSE drops the stress associated with time frames and feels reassured someone is "watching the home fires", even if that person still doesn't know how to light said fire (1d Te). "I know hun I'm can't figure out how to do it, but I'm trying to be perfect for you." LSE self esteem gets a boost hearing this. "I will do it for you."

    Several "Home Improvement" shows on HGTV portray this couple dynamic.
    The writing is slightly uncomfortable here, but I can confirm its reality.
    There are even remarks that can be traced to some of the older profiles about "EII creating comfort/beauty in small details and refinements, and LSE doing this in broader strokes".

    EIIs ability to be silly in THE RIGHT moments, and not interfere with Te or Se things (demonstrative Se is ... entitled to its methods) is great.

    No it's uncomfortable because its a truth and sappiness that makes it uncomfortable, not a flaw in your writing.

    Actually, a real life couple I know is this way:

    The EII is kind of the 'dominatrix' in the classical sense, of the home. At social events she'll kind of power-pout and the LSE , to be honest, looks kind of whipped and jumps to action. It's kind of funny because she's clearly Se POLR in general. He is the military man, she is the creative writer jk rowling nf fairy hippie trope.

    She's slightly socially controlling and he's socially yielding in the family sense, but it works out for them.

    Earlier in my life, the same EIi tried to guilt-trip me when I backed out of some plans , "you're going to do that now, after i rearranged my whole day to do this for you/us?!", etc. I didn't conform there, but I have from other people in similar ways before - especially if I am close or respect them. I feel like that kind of Fi pull would generally work on people, and I was actually more Fi-pout whipped in earlier relationships myself.

    I think 1d Fi people when they are unsure of themselvs or their morality can be somewhat "overly domesticated" in that sense, differing to any semblance of impropriety. Even, I'd say, this is why sometimes LSE are referred to as being secondarily victim erotic role types.

    yeah you make a great point about how being a "moral saint" in the eyes of the public is often just another privilege manufactured for the rich and famous

    i wonder if they even would have gone that way with her image if it wasn't for the harry potter character basically planting the seed in everyone's mind predisposing them to viewing her that way. like if Hermione had been a badass bitch she'd be viewed completely differently, and Emma would be a punk icon or something in order to make money

    Watson seems way too... Fe valuing and expressive in her face to be EII.
    That's my completely superficial and not invested in Watson - 2cents

    like her eyebrows never stop moving, man

    I don't know her type, actually. I said that above. Its my guessing. Other ppl in mbti forums says that she's INFJ.

    The one I really think is INFx is Kristen S. but Emma don't look so different from her in VI imo.

    But I know an EII girl and I've seen some EIIs who smile like that in pics too.

    Yeah the 2 girls have a similar body type, and even faces are kind of masculine somehow, they're bony. I agree with UPD that Emma sends a sort of Fe (fakish) vibe, while Kirsten looks more Si and introverted to me, maybe she might be one SLI.. or SEI. Emma doesn't strike me much like an EII tbh...

    I know I'm biased saying Fe is fakish but it relays on the environment's judgement so I don't know how to rephrase it better..

    I'm really against the whole "EIIs have a modest appearance (cute dress blah blah) and are made of sugar and everything nice." Modern day EIIs are so different and y'all should stop stereotyping. Most of the descriptions that I'm seeing put me off because they're inaccurate and sound quite Fe. Most EIIs I know do not cook, most have an androgynous look and are not into the whole cute dress no showing skin bullshit. And I think for this reason LSEs may prefer Fe users (because they fulfil the feminine role?) @sorrows this is in reply to your over generalized post.

    I can see how the stereotype of EIIs is this picture of shy cute girls all ethereal and made of pink cotton candy, but that might not really be the case in their looks, mostly because they often don't care much of "looks", that's more a Fe thing. Sure, they can spend time taking care of themselves and dress to impress too, but that won't be a habit. I think the stereotype though works well for romantic relationships, I see EIIs (or myself) as somewhat passive, subdued to the partner's whims and external emotional demonstrations.. not necessarily romantic ones (and this might be related to weak Se). I always feel like I have to please people around me, my partner even more, even at the cost of damaging myself in the process. Not healthy, not recommended and maybe even not a rule, but the "softness" of EII's manners to me just lies in the human interactions, often at EII's expense.

    i think its progress for delta nfs to realize they don't have to automatically barter or trade some of their power or well being to facilitate a relationship

    not all do this
    i think its most often in compliant types (enneagram triad)

    weird because i don't belong to any compliant etype, but u right, there are definitely more mature eiis that can work out their relationships better, although i think it's somehow in our nature to let others take the lead in some private matters. here i'd like to specify that it's hardly ever an intellectual lead, we still think independently, it's more like a physical abandon to forces we know we'd handle poorly, that is related to what te/si/se lack are about. talking from my pov though

    EIIs have the ability to detach from a situation or person, and often prefer this position because it permits better objectivity. This ability doesn't impact on the EIIs commitments or feelings toward someone or something whatsoever but it does give an (false?) impression of aloofness and or ambivalence. LSEs don't seem to allow people to detach whatsoever (often, in an in-ones-face type of way) and they certainly don't ever seem to be ambivalent. The EII will frequently address the LSEs aggressiveness with a passionate "sermon" delivered in a deflective (generalized, not aimed at anyone) sort of way, which has an unusual soothing effect. The dynamic does seem to soften each others outward appearances when in group situations - the EII becoming more animated while the LSE dials it down.

    For what it's worth (and sorry for stepping right in the middle of this battleground, I'll let you two keep doing your thing once i'm done) I didn't really see UDP's actions as being worthy of such a judgement ('You sound like a dick').

    To me, it depends. What plans did they have together, exactly? For how long have they been planning it? Thoroughly, for about two weeks, or was it more like a two-days-ago-we-decided-to-go-for-a-coffee kind of thing? Why has UDP cancelled the plans? They must've had a good reason to, as well. But I also understand their EII friend's disappointment, as being swooooshed like that isn't really nice either.

(NeFi) If he had a good reason then he would have said, "I stood up this person, they were offended. I apologized and explained my rational. I had a good reason. They forgave me." However he viewed the other person being upset and wanting him to take accountability for his actions as being whipped and guilt-tripping. Complete opposite.
    I don't know. I could see that too, yes. But I still believe that UDP must've had a reason to do that, it's just that they didn't feel obligated to share it with an online forum, maybe.
    Although when saying something like that, leaving the reason why you did such a thing aside isn't really a great choice either.

    Anyways, to get back to the topic. So LSE and EII duality is hit or miss? Is that what everybody is saying pretty much, like there's something there but it's not "always" there but when it's there it could be good for both people?

    I feel like alot of these posts have touched on things I've actually experienced and on how I imagined things would play out.

    IME something is there but I never got far enough to run into the problems. I am an EII guy though so with LSE women it might have a different twist to it maybe?

    LSE & EII duality is probably just as hit or miss as any other duality, in the sense that duals are very different from each other and if they've never had any prior experience with a dual, they might not find the other person familiar enough to want to interact with them enough (IME, this usually requires about two hours, in the case of the LIE-ESI duality) to notice the effects of duality.

    I worked with a male EII a few years ago, and I told him I knew of a woman who was his dual at a food market. He and I went there for lunch and he talked to her for a few minutes, and later said to me that she seemed really angry. I thought she was brusque, business-like, frustrated a bit with the red tape that the market imposed on her, and wondering if her efforts were appreciated by the people running the market. And maybe a bit angry, yes. Nothing came of that, because he quit the company shortly after that to work on supercomputers.

    In a second case, I work with a female EII, a wonderful woman, and a very hard-working male LSE. She seems to be in the process of finding a new husband and I suggested that she talk to the LSE to find out what her duals are like. She descended on him in his office, and after a few minutes he kind of panicked and said he had to call his wife right away. Lol.
    I later asked her what she thought of him, and she said he was a pill (meaning he was a bit hard to take).

    Duality initializes best when both duals are experiencing problems that they can't solve individually, because their dual can often solve the problem for them. This leads them to realize that the person whom they thought was an alien is actually just right. But lacking that unsolvable problem, they might otherwise remain aliens.

    Thanks for the examples and the link, yea that's kind of how I imagined it, but I never considered the un-solving problem bit.

    The guy panicked and had to call his wife lol wow, is that implying what I think it's implying looool.

    It means she wanted what she wanted and had all the levers to manipulate him perfectly and naturally, and he isn't married to a dual so he's never experienced that kind of thing before. Plus, as a Te-dom, he keeps his feelings locked up in chains in the basement behind a barred door and tries hard not to listen to their muffled screaming, but when someone comes along with a key to all the locks and just breezes in, he freaks out.

    Hahaaa, yup, this is where my mind was going. This makes it more vivid though.

    Often people make pairs with the ones which they know rather more than 2 hours. It's people which study, live or work near, who are familiars of friends, etc.

    I feel like alot of these posts have touched on things I've actually experienced and on how I imagined things would play out.

    IME something is there but I never got far enough to run into the problems. I am an EII guy though so with LSE women it might have a different twist to it maybe?

    FiTe duality is harder than FeTi duality. It's harder for people to work together on relationship issues because the ethical function is more complex and needs more refinement.

    Are you saying that spanking them until they submit doesn't work?

    With Se types I work with (although seems more with the Se creatives), sometimes I just agree with them because it makes life easier. They can be quite insistent, and if it's not something of huge importance, what's the harm in giving a little to get a little? What can I say then perhaps I've been well spanked.

    So yeah, I suppose spanking in not just the metaphorical and even the literal sense can be a fairly effective treatment.

    Water boarding works too, of course, so I hear.

    What I know is that violence tends to beget violence. It's a good thing my son's mother was raised better than I was and said to me, when she was pregnant and we were discussing discipline, "We're not hitting the kid."

    There is nothing in socionics or any reasonable typology that actually indicates you will have anything other than hit or miss.

    I'm not sure what you are asking about.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    Ok so there is an ESTj girl at my job. We got along pretty quickly, talking seems effortless, she seems to say out loud she prefers my company over another co-worker and asks me to stay on my shift a little longer before I leave, and she playfully touches me. She is very attractive and I'm all about trying to go after her, she has other qualities that I also like. But she has a boyfriend, they have been together for less than a year. I don't want to be a scum bag that tries to go after another guy's girl but like.......come on, I try to justify with the fact that they aren't married so it's fair game, but it does seem not right. Someone convince me I should do this lol. Please.

    Go for it. Female LSE's don't exactly grow on trees. You might not find another one anytime soon.

    Several of the women I have dated were seeing guys at the time of our first date. After we started talking, they ditched the BF. My first GF was like that and so was my ex-wife. Note that neither of them were duals, though, but I guess I just seemed like the better deal to them for some reason.

    Just hang around her as much as you can. She'll quickly notice that you guys "click". Ask her if she wants to go to church or to some other social event.
    Unfortunately, even though my mother is LSE, I don't know what it is that makes an LSE female decide on a particular mate. But whatever it is, you should have the best shot at providing it.

    Maybe ask @Director Abbie, or @Sol might give you some hints.

    LSE do such only when like you indeed and want relations. Generally, LSE are not "playful" in other cases, as prefer serious relations, deep feelings. But she can be other type like ESE, SLI, SLE, etc. Or some chance you misunderstood her actions as "playful".

    > But she has a boyfriend, they have been together for less than a year.

    Another thing about LSE: we prefer clarity and faithfullness in relations. If she shows you special sympathy, not like to pal, - this means she' switching on you and other relations were broken. But in such case there would be a time at least monthes she came to norma to get the interest and show it to others. Probably that girl is not LSE.

    > I don't want to be a scum bag that tries to go after another guy's girl but like.......come on, I try to justify with the fact that they aren't married so it's fair game

    It's common concurency until they are not married. The relative exclusion may be is when people live together for long, especially if there are also kids.

    > Someone convince me I should do this lol. Please.

    Ask her - what relations she wants.

    Childlike types need to be spanked sometimes too.

    It’s not childlike so much as low energy, inability to relax, fragile and sensitive looking, whistful and whimsical

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    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

    One funny and subtle thing I've observed about ESTjs are this. When they are feeling bad or low or insecure about something if it's ever expressed, it's expressed as a joke. And that seems like a defense mechanism, if I were to explain it, it would be like , they are experiencing some distress ( whether it be extreme or mild I do not know) but they don't want to seem sensitive so they say it as a joke just incase someone thinks they are weak they can say "Nah I don't really care I am joking," BUT if you actually show concern in how they are doing when they express something like this you might get a more down to earth less jokey response. It's like they are fishing for someone to take concern in their low emotional state BUT don't want to pressure others or appear weak so they have an exit which is "I'm just messing around, I'm fine." As an Fi 4D though, it is easy to tell that the "hurt" is real under the joke BUT the joke is placed so you do not take the hurt so seriously so a subtle approach is required, so instead of asking "OMG WHAT's wrong?!" (since that would be an over-reaction) an EII might just ask "Hey you alright man?" And throw in a laugh to match the playful joke while showing real concern. That fine line between serious and playful seems to be matched there.

    Hm, I'd disagree somewhat on the bolded. Humor can be used, yes, and another common expression is anger. Sometimes they also start lecturing. The topic of the anger and lectures might not be directly related to the insecurity, but usually there's at least a tangential connection. The angst can also come across as pseudo-victim either "assertive backing away" or even a form of passive aggressiveness.

    For example, a LSE I know one time realized they were rambling, got self-conscious about it (not very visibly to the untrained eye, but I caught it), then very purposefully avoided talking to me the rest of the evening. As they left at the end of the night, they said something along the lines of apologizing for our boring conversation and then disappeared before I could correct the misunderstanding / address the insecurity.

    The pseudo-victim-y-ness can be compared to when an EII goes off the rails when they're upset, acting all aggressive. It's transparent and pathetic, and to anyone who actually is a victim/aggressor I imagine it's off-putting or confusing. To other caregivers/childlikes, especially same quadra, it can be an effective if somewhat eye-roll-causing call for help.
    Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.

    Among not close or familiar people LSE often play Fe-image "all is ok" part of what mb depreciation of problems, including through joking.
