: Actually, Cory a lot of women are interesting and Intellectually based.Unfortunately, they play it down due to the misconception that "Men are afraid of smart women". When they talk gossip, clothes, shopping with one another, it is the female equivalent of sports,cars,money that we talk. In a lightweight world, many top heavies like us learn the hard way not to be so serious and deep. When you let some women know you appreciate a thinker, you open the gate. Good luck, K.B.

: I don't know. Maybe its because I see a lot of similarities in us. I always like hearing/reading about older men who have roughly the same personality type as me because it gives me a heads-up or at least an idea of what my future will be like. (You are a 4w5 INFJ correct?)

: : When I was younger, I was the sort of guy that wanted to be admired and liked but wound up in the background.

: Oh hell yea! I'd like to be a comedian or an artist -- something which gets my name recognized and makes me feel powerful.

: : {Charlie Brown Syndrome}. I dreamt of being a Rock star or athlete; people saw me {if at all} as a serious type of bookworm.

: A Friendly Acquaintance at work typed our circle of workers' personality types -- but no, not the enneagram or the Myers-Briggs. He described me as "the introverted intellectual". He is an ExFP 6w7 himself and a self-described "all-around guy". This is very interesting because I am different people with different people. Put me with an attractive, friendly girl and suddenly I am much more outgoing and charming -- acting like a 3 or a 7. Put me with a boss and I'm friendly and hardworking like a 6. Get to know me intimately enough and I just might act as a 4.

:
: : > I discovered reading, thinking and the beauty and peace from taking long walks. I mean LONG walks, I'd go miles and miles nonstop for hour after hour. I learned to enjoy my own company, appreciate my humor and {subjective?} insights, and learned to like myself and not need to share anything with others or get their feedback.

: I can enjoy my own company, mostly because I'm just so entertaining to myself (I love creating stories and jokes in my head) and I can split my personality off so it's like I'm talking to a whole other person.

: : > In a place like where I work, bored people {most of the workers there are bored} become gossip mongers, trouble makers and fighters.My section is divided into cliques that dislike each other; I resisted this and let it be known from the beginning that I was "neutral" and here to work. So I get along with all, but get plenty of co-workers gossiping to me and trying to "sway" me. {And these are males doing much of this}.And there are many who want to know about me as well, like why do I dump so much, why am I so quiet, why am I so cool all the time, etc?

: I guess you could say I am neutral, but I'm much more duplicitious. Everyone would think I'm on their side! At work, one guy Jeremy hates this other guy Carlos because Carlos is a bit bossy and rough. When I'm with Jeremy, I talk to him about Carlos behind his back. When I'm with Carlos, I play it cool with him and don't act antagonistic. Not that I AM taking sides, it's just I pretend I am on their side when I'm in fact neutral. I've done this in many situations.

: But unlike you, nobody really wants to know me.

:
: : > I could go unfriendly, but this isn't my style either. The ones who want to "know" about me are predominantly the women there and I can't resist a smiling face and soft voice and all. Not that they are "interested" as they know I'm married, but I can't snub a friendly woman. So when they ask me questions, I make them laugh or if they confide{if anyone confides in me} I listen. I stop listening if the problems are always the same, if the talker doesn't do anything to change it, if I can't help someone who keeps repeating the same thing.

: Yea, my behavior changes around women. I become more extraverted and friendly. But that's because I am hoping for the slim chance that they might like me and *gasp* become interested in me!!! =oO Which never happens. Really! The other day I was talking to this girl and I "felt" like we had a connection and were getting along great. Then I see her today and her "Hello" was the most drained, obligated Hello I've ever got! Seriously -- women are so fucked up. I think I'll become gay. Seriously, if I had a choice about my sexuality I'd be a flaming homo any day of the week. Men have all the qualities I like -- quick wit, intelligence, and high sex drive. It's sad to say but I've never met a woman with a PERSONALITY. They're all so vapid and so ALIKE it's hard to tell them apart.
