Comprehensive Guide to Marrying Idealists

INFP

Why: INFPs are the YA romance novel protagonists of the world. They will stand by you until death and fall deeply - often too deeply - in love. The nice thing about INFPs is that if you aren’t really that awesome they will invent a more awesome version of you and convince themselves that you are that person. They will genuinely care for you and if you break their heart it will almost definitely make you a terrible person.

How: Get tips from romance novels - the cute ones, not the gross ones - and that’s about it. You may want to consider things like champagne picnics, watching the stars or even cuddling while watching the notebook. Just remember to give them their introvert space and do your best to live up to their expectations.

ENFP

Why: Picture a nice, fluffy, adorable golden retriever running up to you and greeting you as you walk in the door after a long day of whatever. Don’t you wish people could be more like that? Always happy to see you, unconditionally loving and always ready with a warm hug? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could marry someone like that? If you’ve asked yourself these questions, you should probably marry an ENFP. They care a lot about people but sometimes they just get really distra - SQUIRREL!

How: ENFPs have a funny thing with adorable awkward people who seem like they don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to love. Maybe this has something to do with their supposed perfect match being INTJs. Like the other (especially the extroverted) NFs they JUST REALLY NEED TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY OK? So I guess you could pretend to be an emotionally stunted INTJ? Idk that sounds manipulative and it seems so wrong to advise manipulating iNtuitive Feelers. On the other hand, if you are an emotionally stunted introverted thinker, just be yourself!

ENFJ

Why: Ah yes the social justice types. Like a lot of extroverted judgers they feel a strong need to impact the world and since they’re NFs they want to make the world a better place for everyone. If you also feel very strongly about things like making sure every orphan is adopted by loving parents or passing laws against eating horses, you may find a life partner in an ENFJ. 

How: Never EVER be a bad person. Just have good morals. If you’re not sure how to have good morals think: am I harming anyone? If the answer is no, you’re probably not thinking it through enough. Pretty much everything you do harms someone or something in some way or another. Isn’t that weird? Anyway (my Ne is showing), to seduce an ENFJ you might consider doing something unconventional for a cause. This will help them notice you. Besides that, yea, don’t be a butt.

INFJ

Why: They have mystical powers. Did you know the tears of an INFJ can cure zombieism? They’re actually the descendants of angels who fell from heaven and bred with the local unicorn population. Not really. INFJs are confusing because they’re confident that they are the best friend anyone could ever have (which in some ways they are) but simultaneously suffer from crippling self doubt. If you like puzzling people and walking contradictions you may want to spend a lifetime with an INFJ, just trying to understand how their brains work. 

How: You’ll have to find one first. Haha LOL good luck.

MBTI and Planning

Js tend to find comfort in planning (lower order Se/Ne and Fi/Ti)

ESFJ - Plans make sure everyone will have a good time by preventing what could go wrong

ISFJ - Plans prevent what could go wrong by making sure everyone will have a good time

ENFJ - Plans make sure everyone will have a good time by allowing me to implement my vision

INFJ - Plans allow me to implement my vision by making sure everyone will have a good time

ESTJ - Plans make sure we do things efficiently by preventing what could go wrong

ISTJ - Plans prevent what could go wrong by making sure we do things efficiently

ENTJ - Plans make sure we do things efficiently by allowing me to implement my vision

INTJ - Plans allow me to implement my vision by making sure we do things efficiently

Ps tend to feel constrained by planning (lower order Si/Ni and Fe/Te)

ESFP - What if I want to do something else? Also, what if I don’t feel like it?

ISFP - What if I don’t feel like it? Also, what if I want to do something else?

ENFP - What if there are better possibilities? Also, what if I don’t feel like it?

IDEA GENERATORS, VISIONARIES

INFPs are “idea generators” much more than they are “detail people,” and they love to discover “win-win” solutions that have a long- term positive impact on people. There are two phases of most projects or meetings: 1) the initial “big picture,” “vision setting” stage; and 2) the logistics or “action items” stage. Innovative visionaries, INFPs shine during the former, gaining much more energy from envisioning future possibilities and idea generating then from completing concrete tasks. They tend to lose steam toward the end of projects when everything is decided.

infp thoughts

Just because I am an idealist, does not mean I cannot be practical.

Just because I am shy, does not mean I cannot be bold.

Just because I have strong emotions, does not mean I am weak.

Just because my thinking is ruled by emotion, does not mean I cannot think logically.

Just because I have big dreams, does not mean I cannot be satisfied by small victories.

Just because I am an INFP, doesn’t mean I have to be a textbook definition.

Drawbacks of Dating an INFP Type

Dating an INFP type can be gratifying, but as with all types, it has its downsides. A few INFP qualities that may pose problems in the relationship include:

Reservation in allowing others in. INFP personalities have a tendency to remain reserved in social situations, which prevents potential significant others from being able to develop a full understanding of the individual. In other words, getting to know an INFP completely may take quite a bit of time and effort.

High levels of altruism. While this may not immediately seem like a drawback, it can potentially cause a number of problems in a relationship. INFPs are inclined to get wrapped completely in their current cause célèbre and disregard the importance of other things in their lives, including the relationship.

Difficulty in accepting criticism. INFP types often take constructive criticism very personally, becoming defensive and occasionally hostile at the presentation of such words. They usually have a high self-concept and are easily irritated when they feel it has become threatened.

Idealizing the relationship. INFP types are known dreamers and, as such, may place their significant other on a pedestal, honoring them as if they are the representation of perfection. This may place pressure on the other to attempt to live up to this expectation and, furthermore, allow high levels of strain into the relationship.

Literally crying after being around people for an extended period of time.

Intensely caring about other people but being overwhelmed by their company simultaneously.

People constantly mistaking you for an extravert because you act goofy to cover up the fact that crowds make you impossibly…
