This show is about a secret impossible romance. I've lived a similar thing an eternity ago (in fact all my romances were "secret" ).

When I go to the mall people including myself are passing by but among these persons there is necessarily a theoretical perfect duals, but I don't even look at people anymore or just enough to not enter in collision with them. I just do my shopping and come back home ( 200 metres away !) asap.

That said, moments of attention can happen, and sometimes a lady that meets my tastes appears right in the center of my vision field. It usually starts with the initial fact that I liked her "energy" (I use that word a lot as a synonym of "vibe") which is the main criterion of "meeting my tastes". So I would contemplate that lady for a fraction of time and that's it. All I would do is to take mental pictures of the lady and search for what I like the most is her. I don't have sexual thoughts though. I know that it's a common thing for people to imagine having sex with other people they see here and there, but I don't remember having such "visions" since a very long time (back in my teenage years maybe ?!). Doesn't such fantasies sound like a form of mental rape ? It's weird to imagine sexual things with a woman that didn't give consent, isn't it ?





Anyway, the dual thing is overrated esp in romantic contexts. It doesn't make sense to systemize romantic relationships. I mean, in socionics everything is ought to be contextualized from a societal perspective (the socion, social mission etc...) even Dual ITR. It's about information metabolism (whatever !) . TIMs are not real people, EIE doesn't "Love" or systematically falls for "LSI" ect... TIMs don't have biological attributes ! For instance TIMs don't "age" they don't have feelings, they don't have instincts, they are just charts, abstract modelisation of an already abstract phenomenon namely, the Psyche. However, I can understand that ITR are good for business esp in the domain of dating and stuff like that.
This is the most IEE post I've seen in a long time.
