Ever notice a pattern or an affinity for a certain type or two in your choice of romantic relationships/interests?
I've ever been invested into connections with INFPs. However, I've had a large crush on an INTP. But I have learned my lesson as the former group hasn't been near as deep mentally as I need. The latter, I simply don't have enough experience around with. Yeah, I'm young and those hormones of my peers (where the interests have come from) just jump and run with it to any little thing...but I know that, as I've learned more about them, from others or themselves, that I need that mind-to-mind connection. I need a maturity, an intellectual capacity. Otherwise, I'll be sacrificing a big part of myself. (That, and my other criteria. xD)
I read this on a profile of an INTJ, in the relationships section, just today. "For INTJs, love means including someone in their vision of the world. INTJ men tend to be attracted to partners who enjoy living their lives with and outward vitality and zest. Perhaps it is to compensate for their internal, visionary focus that they often find partners who are more outgoing and may even run interference to help the INTJ deal with the day-to-day world. INTJ women, however, may seek someone more like themselves."

Makes sense. The males are already kinda fitting the "ideal" and the natural inclination of males is towards IT. They are used to it, want a little more zest. Maybe then the females need more subconscious reassurance, they are different and there's someone out there just like them - and they don't have to deal with the overabundance of SF women, day in, day out. That was my first thoughts, initial theory, there. Moving on. So an INTP or INFJ or INTJ for me. Not saying that an INFP can come along and sweep me off my feet (well, that's happened already - I was not amused) with a more developed Te. *shrugs* Maybe, maybe not.
So, what are your patterns? And What have they taught you about yourself/other types?
