Singles Area

:wub: INTP's are shy and hard to find! I would like to see an area for people to post who are interested in dating INTP's. I am an "NF" and this is the type of my preference. I would also like to be able to weed out the INTP's who get sexually perverted and those that can't feel. Ellie

[mgb]

Try N Central.

Wow!! I fear for thier sanity.

LOL!

Your a Doctor (what kind?) you should know better, most of us are socially awkward, absent-minded, mildly psychotic, slightly schizoid, depressive, misunderstood and have a habit of speaking on behalf of whole groups of other INTP's they don't really know! :blink:

[Star]

Just curious, how many PMs have you received, so far? ;P

[Star]

:rofl:

And yet we can't help finding you all adorable :wub:
Aw... even me? :wub:

You've just made my day. I imagine, however, you've not even a foggy idea why. Anyway...., welcome_to_INTPCentral. Sheesh.

Hey, I'm single. Would you settle for INxP?

[Serotonin]

I would also like to be able to weed out the INTP's who get sexually perverted and those that can't feel. Ellie

Trial and error is probably the only way you'll be able to do that. I think sexual perversion and emotional immaturity is fairly strongly influenced by nurture, not nature, and so you'll get people like that in every personality type. That said, I think you're on the right track in trying to find a guy. :D

But those are my best qualities! :shock:

Sure...."weed" them out. You naughty girl. :devil: ^^first two on list

[garak]

SOMEONE TOUCH ME

[Shai Gar]

I TOUCH GARAK

[Shai Gar]

yeah, i might actually post one.. but if anyone answers i am locking my thread and disappearing into my shell

[lexiphanic]

You have a shell?

[Shai Gar]

yep, from papua new guinea, before it was illegal to take the green turtles shells into australia

[jyakulis]

SOMEONE TOUCH ME


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Dunearhp]

ellie, you will have to define for us your perversion threshold. Something like a number in a scale like this.

1. "What? You want me to touch you in your special place?"
2. "Fancy a roll in the hay?"
3. "I like ropes baby"
4. Furries
5. Necrophilia
6. ******* (You really don't want to know)

Small print: The above scale is neither normalized nor in any guaranteed order. If anyone wishes to make changes to the above scale they should remember that this is not in the adult section.

So wait! Are you trying to say I'd never be able to tie you up while a hired midget and myself try to stick pieces of bologna on your naked ass?

NO THANK YOU MA'AM


EDIT (sorry little person....i mean little person)

[Shai Gar]

how do you get an INTP without perversions

[Dunearhp]

how do you get an INTP without perversions

I think that mental institutions in the first half of the last century did some experimentation with partial lobotomies and chemical castration. The results were mixed.

[Shai Gar]

and that has what to do with anything?

Would a dating service even work? I woudln't really want to have an online boyfriend. I wouldn't be able to see him or kiss him.

[Zero Angel]

Speaking from experience, its not that INTPs dont 'care', INTPs are very caring but have so much difficulty showing it because it drains them BAM just like that. God, one time when I used Fe I told someone that no matter what happens, that I will ALWAYS take their side (following a greater loyalty to them against their abusive partner who I am also friends with), I was shaking afterwards and had this strange feeling in the front half of my body. As if I had just used a burst of adrenaline and that suddenly I was drained. It was not to my nature to do that. I pretty much have to psych myself up to be expressive of emotions.

Also, we can be more caring if we shift into Fi mode, but that is kinda draining in the long run. Maturity is a big factor in how caring an INTP can be while being himself.

If i was going to bother with a dating service, there would HAVE to be sex involved.
I assume you all agree here.

They do have such arrangements even Down Under, but they aren't then necessarily called 'dating services'.



Claverhouse :ph34r:

[Shai Gar]

no, they arent, the local arrangement is called "whispers" i do not attend, not from some moral issue, i just dont have the cash :D

[purple13]

Isn't that the meaning of "short term romance" you see on some dating sites?

[Shai Gar]

indeed

[Clara]

I REALLY, REALLY don't want all of INTPCentral to be about pairing-off of us.... so... I applaud the fact that alternatives exist.

I have a spleen to vent, on this theme, to whomever wants to hear that -- PM me, if you want to know what I think.

MM and I don't need this thread. We have each other. :whistle:

[Star]

Anyone remember that book across the head video from albino black sheep?

[Clara]

But I don't want to PM *^^*You're right, Aven. It's only that I've been trying ( off and on -- dropping it gladly from my thoughts most of the time ) to find the words that will say... something kind of complicated... though I have come across posts saying very similar things, on other topics. Saying it out loud to real life people didn't help much, except as one more in the ever-ranging field of subjects for conversation.

First of all, I want to make it clear that it's very possible that *I've* said more things that had regrettable results than any of you reading this... And, some of these things accurately reflected that I wasn't using emotional sense when I said them. Also, I'm as easily distracted as anyone ( and, more than some ). So, I'm *not* saying something I think applies more to anyone else, than to me.

I really would like to be able to discuss concepts... some of the time... with whomever happens to be interested in whatever-that-topic-is, without being [ warning : exaggeration and overstatement ahead, because it's how *I* prefer to handle delicate topics ] put up for auction, for any kind of relationship, most especially without having even been asked. [ / ] And this reflects in no way on my opinion, or feelings, toward any forum members. ( Including, sincerely, not the people who inspired me to try to say this. See, complicated. ) Besides which : hey, I also wish that everyone finds what will make them happier, and other aspects of a fulfilling life. If some area of discussion helps that happen, then good. In fact, if I have a thought I think might be productive to add, I will.

However, if I have to take even more care, with how I say what, and to whom... [ more overstatement : ] because ideas are never going to be possible, except as filtered through perceptions of who is who ... and my personal unfavorite : oh, but what is *really* meant... because *obviously* none of the words reflect the intent. [ / ]

edit : I guess this is more than an editorial-type request ( i.e. please let's not turn the whole board into only matchmaking opportunities ) ... it's also : can we all sometimes talk about other things, too -- and leave out more of the "only saying that because of"... whatever personal inferences might get drawn, or invented. ( Aaargh, of course we all do this some of the time. I'm back at my starting point, again. )

[Helios]

It is like we are in a panic about the dangers of flying on magic carpets while under the influence. I mean it doesn't exsist, I can't really see it ever working, even if it was built, for Christ sake it was an NF that made the idea! This thing was DOA! Why do we care?!

It is OK, it was only a bad dream.

[Clara]

No, Helios, we're talking about more than NFs coming here only to pick up NT mens. ( Which, if it results in some happier NTs, then, good.* )

This is also : listen, when you think about it, every social interaction is a kind of flirting, in a way. Only, most of the time it isn't for the purpose of establishing a partner relationship... which does require willingness on both sides, as we all know. And, if people are hoping to find partners, being too goal oriented ( as though there were a "problem" to be "solved"... as though this wasn't an integral part of everyone's life, in many facets ) is probably not the *happiest* way to go about things.

* But, now that I think about it... maybe there are NT women who'd like to read posts, singing sincere ( and accurate ) praises of femininity as unique to NTs. Because INTP, neither, isn't a problem, and doesn't need solving... or correction. Hmm, except... I happen to think that if someone comes to the forum, because they think INTP is going to "match" them... well, maybe yes, maybe no, it'll depend on the people in question, won't it ? On the other hand, if people are idiots, but mask it reasonably well, then maybe it is useful that the odds are greater that someone else might spot that. ( I'm assuming, for this whole post, that everyone I'm referring to actually believes that it's possible to get a sense of another person, over the internet. Whether it is or isn't is beside the point, in this context. )

[Helios]

I see your point but, I am prejudice, I love all your posts (in a non-flirting way of coarse :P ) Anyway I guess it is another prejudice of mine ,the idea that anything serious could develope over the net seems so unlikely to me that I didn't take it seriously.

The idea of "finding someone" never crossed my mind about this place. It was mostly 'cause I was needing a place to bounce ideas around. Or gather stuff to think about. Besides NFs tend to annoy me, they are gifted with the vision and insight of N but take the data and waste it pouring it into a crazy F based value system! But that is another thread for the Rants section!

[Avengardh]

I agree with Clara.

I doubt that any of us would even take this seriously, and if someone actually wanted to get with someone from the forum they would find a way, we are INTPs.

And we care because it was bound to happen, someone had to start a thread like this and we had to protest, I am surprised it wasn't nobarcode :D.

[ohnoaninfp]

Ah, but Ms. Good Catholic Virgin, no sexual pressure either!

No need to bring my beliefs or faith into this. I want a guy who can hear me sing. I don't want to a a computer screen.

*imagining even more internet PDA on this site* Oh the horror! :o :shock:

Avengardh, please take this sincerely and literally. Your post is exemplifying part of what I find most fun about this forum : agreeing and disagreeing, all at once, using insight, wit & cleverness with words and concepts. Admit it : you, also, have had someone or other leap to an unwarranted conclusion, that -- because you enjoy that, too, I think -- your intentions might be other than they are. Wait, that's a question, too. Note, I'm absolutely delighted to be reading you say that about INTPs. Only, I strongly suspect, from things I've read by other people, that there's more of a paint by numbers kind of thinking about the topic that might be logically expected. :D

( I could have said the same, using Helios' post, of course... hm, now I'm wondering, because I agreed, about PMs; so I'll ask you, to explore what *you* think -- asking you, to, Helios -- Do you think that I should have made my apologies to Helios, for dragging him in as an example in a thread elsewhere, all public ? Hm, or, maybe it would be useful to launch a discussion of apologies, and offending people, etc.

Think about this : for those of us whose primary goal in being here ( no way am I making a whole list :thelook: ) is to discuss whatever, with a whole bunch of people -- whoever happens to be here... Hasn't everyone noticed that it's also somewhat inevitable that "Some more than others" applies in a constantly shifting way ? ( By the way, was SheepDog quoting someone else, when he started using that ? )

I've read your post 3 times and still don't understand it

That just means you're sane.
The post was full of thoughtlets (not quite thoughts). I still found it interesting. Reading it is like getting your mind degaussed.

[AcidGoethe]

Maybe I need more eyes

[Dunearhp]

You can never have too many :)

I like the open ended brackets in the second paragraph. It's a great segue to the black font.

Wait until it's gets an edit, then it gets even crazier.

Clara, you are welcome ^_^.

[Miss Anthropic]

HUH? I read Clara's posts too, and I totally don't get it. Was it a lot of dancing around some specific incidents written in generalities to avoid some sort of personal identification of those involved? Ack, whatever....I don't see this turning into an online dating forum. The inane flirting mostly left with Songbird and CC and they weren't even looking for real live dates...although there are a few F's come flitting around being all cutesy. :p Whatever.

[ohnoaninfp]

I still don't think it is a good idea. If you want a dating site go to eharmony.com or something like that.

[Zero Angel]

iNtuitive Central has a dating board, but it probably will not work too well because there is a stigma attached to using dating services.

A good system would be a modification, or search enhancement to the iNtuitive Central forums that allows a user to search for other users by same City, State/Province, or country; as well as parameters such as status (single and looking), then the rest can be worked out via private message.

Otherwise, using that board would be like buying condoms from the drugstore lady who gossips with your mom.

[Dunearhp]

The cutesy Fs don't bother me. Sometimes they liven up the place. Without dissonance there is only stagnation.

Flirting is just another conversational stance. What is the drama.

I just find it strange that this is a site where no one seems to blink at some of the crudest sexual innuendo or toilet humour. Yet people are up in arms if a few people might even possibly start flirting.

Conversations go where they will, any forum has a life of its own. This thread was never going anywhere, even before everybody stomped on it. I doubt anyone was going to get propositioned, if that is what people were afraid of.

I don't think that this place could ever turn into a singles dating site. I say that for one reason, and one reason only: It is not practical.
People will try to lever places like this into whatever they think they are missing. The forum has a lot of inertia however, it can only be diverted by actual trends.
