I would like an extroverted woman who is intelligent and understands introverted people. I need someone who i can talk to, and after a while, get used to. Believe you me, i can get used to some pretty unsettling things. Someone to balance me out.

extroverted because I've found dating them requires me to get out of my head and actually do things instead of saying 'oh thats sounds good *imagine it my head*' and be done with it. Extroverted sensors will jump up and down when they really want to do something and I've found just going along turns out to be a lot of fun. Plus they appreciate the way I can do the planning and will show them what will and won't work. Them being slightly submissive also helps.

I dated introverts / n types when younger and constantly agreeing on reasons why we shouldn't go or having the same point of view on most things got pretty boring to be honest. But thats just me.

I don't know enough about introversion/extroversion to really make a choice. According to a test, I'm most compatible with an ISTJ man.
If MBTI had been brought to my attention many years ago, I would have at least had a chance to make better decisions, not only regarding relationships but in other areas as well.

Interesting that so many extroverts prefer introverts. I guess they wouldn't be on INTJf if they didn't like introverts. :D

Overall introvert since I can relate better to them but I don't mind extrovert since they entertain me.....I like ISFP girls and ENFP girls

Of course looks also matter a lot

Introverts. It's difficult for me to trust extroverts. Plus I don't want to go out all the time. There's nothing new under the sun anyway. And I find social rituals quite boring.

Leaning strongly toward introverts. There may be extrovert exceptions.

I have some lovely extroverted friends but I am so glad to come back home to my introverted husband. Between the energy that I have zapped and my need for space and independence, I don't think for me personally an extrovert would work. It is very cozy and intimate with another introvert. Being another N works wonders too and I am pretty sure I would not be happy over the long term with a sensor.

I would prefer a sociable introvert or a relaxed extrovert.

But when one is caught up in the moment it doesn't really matter.

Either is fine, since both have strong suits that would work well with me.

Even if I ate a big platter of enchiladas and washed it down with a pint of Ex-Lax, I still couldn't give a shit. I wouldn't ever dismiss someone based purely on their type. And I'd go a step further, and say that (for me, personally) I don't even see the point in focusing the search on a certain type while remaining open to others.

Extroverts tend to be more appropriately worshipful.

I absolutely prefer to date and befriend extroverts. When I need me time, I take it. Alone. And if I want to get out, they have great ideas and love that I'm up for joining them. Plus, they tend to get out a lot which means it gives me more me time that is guilt free because they'll find a way to have fun whether I am there or not. And they always find ways to keep a conversation moving along.

I am not sure that I would be comfortable dating an introvert.

And I have yet to understand why an extrovert would prefer to date an introvert over an extrovert like themselves.

I gave this much thought over the last few months...Considering my personality / natural inclinations, I definitely think that an introverted intuitive woman would be the best match for me, though I expect that she would still have to be somewhat more extroverted than I (that should be easy, considering I am a hermit and all).

The advantage of extroverts is that they're far more likely to engage me than introverts, not to mention that they are generally easier to read. They also appear to be generally friendlier upon first encounters, which is a considerable asset when trying to penetrate through my cool and detached exterior. The downside however is that they can be quite draining, far more so than introverts. They are also more likely to be co-dependant (versus independent), and more likely to resent giving me the alone time that I require. Lastly, I don't enjoy going out very much and or socializing in groups, which I assume would also be difficult for an extrovert to handle. My very strong need for alone time would inevitably antagonize with her need for socializing.

On a whole, I am not opposed to extroverted women (especially the ones with a weaker E), though I do anticipate that there might be significant long term problems in such arrangements.

Unimportant. I can roll both ways, but I prefer someone with a mild "E" and/or similar to me "I" with similar interest, otherwise it will be boring as hell.

My SO is "E" but not too strong so it works perfect. He takes me out of my boundary once in a while but also allows me to have my time out.

That sounds wonderful.

I need someone to help me get out of the house.

But I think I'm usually attracted to Introverts. Or, they are the ones who are attracted enough to me, to spend enough time with me, for me to become attracted to them.

Oh, well. I guess I'd better get used to whatever I get.

Yeah, that's what I prefer too. It's kind of odd. Usually I get really tired in any social situation but when I'm with someone that extraverted It's different, maybe that's just ENFPs.

Plus, if they want to go out and I don't feel like it, then I would get some time alone. If the other person is introverted, they're going to be around all the time and that would kind of be irritating.

Assuming you live with them.

There are long term distance relationships as well.

You can but for myself and I assume a lot of people, tend to prefer a long-term relationship where they live together. It would be really uncomfortable for me to have to readjust to a person I like so often. I feel awkward going back to see my family when I've been gone for a month or two. If I'm not around them frequently, I don't feel as familiar with them. If I do this for my family and really good friends, I don't see why my partner would be any different.
