No, it was motivated by the thread in general. Your rather detailed apology contributed, but so did the ridiculous posters you were replying to, as well as other random things in the forum. Ah well. I am probably too old, gruff, and easily annoyed for this forum. That is why I have never stuck...

My friend, useful models make up 99 percent of human knowledge. Don't diss useful models.

So what I have gotten thus far is that the women are somewhat hysterical and the men are cream puffs. If y'all ever met a real misogynist, I think you'd fall over like fainting goats. I am not one to long for the sociopaths of INTPcen, but Christ. I feel like I walked into the Smurf village.

And here I was nodding along to what he wrote. Ah well, haters gonna hate. :king-twitter:

It takes time, angst, and over-thinking. Time is what matters the most, but the other stuff helps it pass. MJ is also very helpful, as the chemical and analytical processes involved help people disassociate and examine their problems more fully while at the same time making them more comfortable...

For some reason I seem to be trying to herd cats. Cats so smart that they're retarded. :storks:

I still find it immensely humorous that the INTPs want to limit their forms of expression because "we can't handle it, man!" Perhaps the "Thank You" hack would be a less controversial way to let people know their insights were appreciated? I often want to say "good point," but making an actual...

Male INTPs face the same BS and norms. It may be slightly easier to skate by, but we do face them. There ain't no star quarterbacks on this forum; that I can guarantee. I face them as a gay guy too. Random chicks think that I want to be their BFF and listen to all their stupid problems? No...

Yeah, I will miss the Mexican when I have to leave. Barbacoa is goddamn disgusting if you think about it too much, but the flavor is like nothing else. It's umami overload. You know what Christmas means, right? Tamales!

No, we have hundred year old BBQ pits instead. More than a fair trade, if you ask me. Don't need no stinkin' carbs. ;)

Tl;dr. Goddamn INTPs have to overthink everything, including misogyny.

Most definitely born that way.

Austin is a very pretty, clean, young, affluent, hippie city. Most of the people are just nice. I grew up in NOLA and Philly, and I don't want to live in any more places with that much racial disharmony. (It's very diverse here, but there is little to no ghettoization.) You can do all the stuff...

Typical Day: wake up take meds brush teeth, shower if there is time study on campus while the fiance is in class go home for lunch do chores (laundry, dishes, trash, etc.) brush teeth again, shower if I didn't before free time if I'm bad, more study time if I'm good Reddit time...

I think a lot of people know what they are looking for, it's just that they often find other things that work as well. I like older muscular guys with broad pecs and chest hair, but I ended up with a fairly unassertive hairless INFP two years older than me. It works great, but it isn't what...

The Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan. NYC is not my forte (too dirty), but I think it makes my dad feel nostalgic.

Women look for virility. It comes in many forms.

Some uppity cum dumpsters in this joint, and these sandwiches ain't making themselves.

The Megan Fox type body ideal is just part of the Madonna/whore thing. No one wants to wife her. Most men like her because she looks easy and sends off easy vibes. When they look for wife material, they go for something else entirely. Things are more complex than "the media ruined everything."

My dad just saw the Rockefeller tree lighting, texted a pic:

All that stuff is hilarious to me. But then again, I find tacky culture and terrible vintage video both very funny. Y'all take it too seriously. It's a time of year for fun and socializing with people you like. We don't even do presents anymore... just stockings for each person, with little...

/makes notes on who not to invite to the Christmas party

And up goes the tree:

I'm attracted to me. But yeah, I do think I am. I'm a fighter, an optimist, I love my friends deeply, and I work very hard. All of that is tempered by the fact that I'm also a whole lot like Cartman. And yes, if you aren't looking, I will steal the skin off your KFC.

Sounds like me, really. Back in the day I was a painfully shy introvert, but I didn't like that, so I forced myself to grow social skills. What a painful process. But now I can hold a room's attention when I'm "on," I throw 3-4 parties a year, and I have a fair amount of friends. But I still...

I like trees, fires, prime rib with yorkshire pudding, giving and getting presents, and all the like. Charity is good too. Family drama and tacky decorations are a no-go, though, and Jesus isn't my thing. I am indeed friend of Claver, though I don't believe you and I are acquainted? :phear:

Does anyone else effing love this holiday? Putting our tree up at the moment.

I don't use my phone for talking that much. Its most useful for texting and access to the internet.

As an INTP who had the deck stacked against him in terms of social skills (and most things that didn't require brute force analysis, really), I have to say hell naw. I get that you wouldn't want it to happen on principle, but I felt no need to handicap myself any further. If my...

6'2" and 180 isn't that skinny if he doesn't have a lot of muscle. I'm 6'2" too. At 195 he would be considered "overweight" according to BMI. 145 would be "underweight."

I use the fuck out of my iPhone. I enjoy that it's fairly minimalist and that it doesn't piss me off every ten minutes.

Eh, psyc docs look for unkempt appearances as an indication that a person may not be well/may not be coping with their life successfully. I see maintaining one's appearance as part of being a whole, balanced person. When I let any part of my life (personal appearance, cleanliness of my home...

Homo with notions of bisexuality.

I was smokin' hot about 2-3 years ago. I'd get propositions fairly frequently, and people were always giving me stuff... extra shots of espresso, things on discount, etc. All the attention would annoy my then boyfriend/now fiance. Life got tough and I put on some weight, but I'd still say I'm...

If you are in the middle of 10th now, you could easily clear 3.0, maybe something like 3.2 or 3.4 if you're lucky. Getting straight As is surprisingly easy once you've set your mind on it. I only had three Bs in college, and in those classes I got sloppy/lazy.

I've had to incorporate internet time into my structured procrastination. If I do x, x, and x, I get to check my threads, etc. But if I am being lazy... pretty much all day.

I like the law, as it allows me to pwn other people via a better understanding of theories and technical details. Outside of that, I am motivated to make $$$ because it will let me do what I want and live an even more secluded life. And once I have enough of it, I can line my entire home with...

High school sucks. College is somewhat better. Both are pretty much just social holding tanks that society puts adolescents in so they can mature and gain a few skills along the way. My best advice to you is to never expect school or work to be fun. Don't expect it to be meaningful either...

I wouldn't. It's a great way to mark yourself as a problem person, whether that's true or not. I have used that kind of full truthfulness/"take me as I am" approach in the past, and later it just seemed like oversharing. I ended up regretting it.

There are definitely different levels of friendship. You have your acquaintances, satellite friends (who you only see once in an orbit), good friends, and best friends. I always have to watch how many I have, as I don't have enough energy to maintain too many. Best friends are always good...

A little meat, some feta, random veggies, and an assload of half-empty condiments. Also random stains.

Take or leave my INTP judgement. It's safe to say I know more about him than at least 95 percent of you, but I too enjoy being contrary, so I won't hold it against you.

I would be careful to not project your own ideas of self onto others. There are lots of confident INTPs. It takes them a while to get confident, but there are plenty out there. And like I said, he was also drunk as hell, which helps. Substance abuse is a real problem for introverted...

Both. Often, as in this case, at the same time.

INTPs are known for mental self-indulgence.

Sleeping too much makes me retarded. But when I run regularly and eat lower carb, my body only lets me sleep seven hours a night and I am sharp as a whip. Strange, this meat puppet that I seem to be. I've been obsessed with short term memory ever since I started studying for the LSAT...

If one of my best friends and colleagues was being gypped, and I was as drunk as he was (he had a bottle of Hennessy in his hand all night), I would have sooooo smacked down non-talent Taylor Swift too. People always think of it in the context of Beyonce having won, but what if she hadn't...

That's called virility, baby. Something dead bodies don't have, I suppose.

I text so much that I'm gonna get carpel in my thumb. But it keeps me from having to talk to people, and that's what matters. I probably send 10-15 a day, and maybe 30 on a heavy day. When my boo and I are in different cities, the amount goes up exponentially. Y'all may think it's odd for an...

No, I did a lot of research on him as a possible honors thesis topic a few years ago. Most definitely INTP. A surprising number of entertainers are quite Introverted, and he is one of them.
