    Default this guy

    it makes sense for me to come here to talk about a guy because that's all i ever really talk about when I'm online and free to talk about anything

    just had a hopeful first date. I was getting used to horror stories and I'm so happy. I'm sleepy but

    - typology came up but he said he always scores different so doesn't take it too seriously

    - he goes on Te explaining tangents that he chalks up to his "adhd rabbit holes"

    - laughs about how he never was properly categorized as a troublemaker as a youth because everybody seems to like him for some reason and that's extremely believable

    - loves to travel and i think he has more awesome stories than anyone I've ever met after meeting him once

    - we originally planned for Friday but he texted nonstop in a way that didn't feel anxious and then was like hey would it be off-putting if i asked to meet up early, tonight?

    i could probably squeeze more out of my brain if anybody cares, but it's late. I'll have more to say after Friday too
    feeling good about duality after reading this back on paper but it didn't feel magical, exactly? just. yes. okay. this is good <3

    Honestly I would just put typology on the back burning and flow with any experiences that come up and be as authentic as possi le. It works or it does not. It's that simple.

    But yeah I crush as well and want to see where things are headed.

    After age 40, they generally settle down. Usually.

    Scoring like every type is IEI. Even knowing about typology in the general population leans IEI.

    This could be LIE. I go on tangents all the time in speech, but then loop back to my original point. I chalk it up to high Ne but valued Ni.

    I know of exactly no LIEs who were troublemakers as youths, or who were universally liked.
    I did have an IEI HS buddy who stole dynamite from a construction site and spent the summer blowing holes in the local golf course.

    Travel is IEI and SLE and LIE. Stories are the same, plus ESE.

    I can text a lot, but this somehow feels IEI. Ni Time pressure. In no hurry, then in a hurry. Like an SLE with Se space pressure, who stands far away, then moves well within your space.

    I've never experienced Duality as Magical. Comfortable, yes. Desirable, yes. Wanting to never give it up, yes. Fireworks, no.

    Good luck! I hope you have a good one here.

    This is confusing
    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

    he has a positive reaction to my instinct to take charge of situations. it's a relief. he says he's used to having to do it himself, so there's a really nice confluence of him going with what i want when i start laying it down without thinking about it, and aggressively picking up the slack when i don't want to be bothered with the effort. can that be Ni cre

    I'm hopeful for you, but I can't imagine an LIE saying any of that. Nevertheless, he seems like an OK guy.

    OK, thanks, @ashlesha. I don't need to be any more of an asshole than I already am.

    this does have me thinking. maybe an LIE would be less likely to notice something like that in the first place. and he does seem to have A+ psychological awareness. I'm obviously biased but he presents with confidence about it and everything

    not just that kind of knowledge though. he would have been rushed into a nuclear physics career in the Navy when he was 17 if he hadn't been misdiagnosed with asthma

    Bingo. I mean, "I hope my lack of eye contact doesn't make you uncomfortable?" WTF? Honest to god, I've never had that string of words pass through my brain in my life. I'm more likely to say "I hope you don't mind me being so active in bed last night" (because I want to do it again and I'm just making sure you're OK with that).

    I dated an IEI-Fe whose mother forced her into getting a PhD in Astronomy. She is miserable in that profession. She should have been an actress, because she idolized Meryl Streep. She kind of channeled Streep, too.

    She clearly should have used her acting talents to fake asthma.

    Listen, @ashlesha. Your man-radar is miscalibrated towards the Beta Quadrant. If you want to know what to look for in an LIE, look for a guy like CP, except he's less funny and better with people and more extroverted and less cynical and he feels like "nothing" to you, except you two seem to be able to effortlessly work together.

    He's also not going to be psychologically smooth. He's going to be kind of edgy and you probably won't feel a deep psychological connection but you might get along without any conflict whatsoever.

    i wonder if the common denominator underlying racism, sexism etc is that you're unusually bold about imposing yourself because you're intrinsically deserving. i think it's a charming idea in theory, fwiw

    I think that racism and sexism originate from Fear of the Other, not self-entitlement.

    this is probably just digging in my belly button with this window open on my phone while i go to see him again. but I've been weird with men lately cuz I'm like i need a serious relationship so they need to know all my shame quickly which is obviously counter productive and yeah uh fuckin weird (i just started therapy remember)
    anyway i don't feel that pressure at all with him, like it'll be fine, whatever. so nice. makes me wanna declare duality lol. (you could try to pin it on the 2 sessions of therapy but probably not). he seems more realistically long term so i don't pull some weird bullshit trying to contort it in a delusional way lol

    it feels natural to date twice in the two days before our first date btw. we'll also be at the same concert Sunday

    just saw him for the third time and he's almost definitely LIE. wouldn't rule out the possibility of EIE. the eye contact psychology skill stuff is because of his strong "rational" focus (as he puts it)- he researches things of that nature because he finds them personally useful. I'm glad i didn't share pictures because I really like this guy (obviously). I'm not asking any more questions (:
