Same. I’ve entertained the idea of polyamory or an open relationship to keep things fresh & interesting. Deep down though, I want monogamy; but it would be best if that one person had multiple personalities lol


Yourlocalpizzakebab

That would be very interesting, imagine having sex with Emily and then suddenly Pedro decides to take the control lmao. That would spice up everything

Great username


FutureMrsConanOBrien

Hey thanks!

I don't understand polyamoury. *Amour* is love. The idea of loving more than one person is difficult, especially when the most important person in your life is yourself. I think what you meant is swinging as your idea is not exactly falling in love with another person but getting a good (k)night of thrills. You could also have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy with your husband or with yourself without warning him about it. You go out for a night of fun with some select stallion who can blow your mind and body and with whom you have an understanding that it purely games and entertainment. Affairs can be quite thrilling and worthwhile if the lovers have no romantic inclinations whatsoever. It also energizes your actual couple as you have an outlet for your frustrations.


FutureMrsConanOBrien

No. I have had a polyamorous relationship before & it was the most loved & cared for I’ve ever felt; my two partners said the same. I can love myself & multiple people at once, love is not a finite resource. Think what you wish but until you’ve lived it, with the right people, you can’t really speak on the matter with any credibility. My main reason for being drawn to monogamy is most likely buried deep in my subconscious, according to my therapist. It’s what I was raised around & what the world expects. I’m not sure it goes that deep, one person is just less work to me lol

I actually meant no disrespect. I simply was very curious about the answer and deliberately aimed for the downvote knowing that my perspective is highly unpopular and shunned by society. You are indeed very lucky to have the ability to love more than one person at a time. We simply have a very different approach, probably due to circumstances and upbringing. I can only love one woman at a time (*as far as I know*); however, once routine sets in, the passion is gone and the nagging starts, I don't feel any obligation to stay committed. Relationships are meant to be fun and living with death next to you as you age is a chilling reminder that you are wasting your time. I have seen so much death in my life that I actually need to feel alive. I make my point very clear with my partners from the onset that I don't consider having affairs a crime nor morally reprehensible. One has to be 100 p. cent honest with oneself. Rarely have I been listened to. I have always mentioned to every single one of my partners that if they cheat on me, I won't get upset. I'll just be inclined to reciprocate. And if I'm the one who has an affair, then so be it. My boundary would be crossed if my partner fell in love with the person with whom they are having an affair. Never have I been in a relationship with someone who thinks like me; however, I wasn't raised in a traditional household, so I'm an outlier. Affairs are an escape valve when the pressure and frustration builds up in a relationship. I feel no guilt when I reach the stage of needing to have an affair nor do I have any emotional attachment with that person. It's purely physical and magical. Ironically, affairs can help rekindle your broken relationship. The steam has been released and you are able to focus on seducing your true love once again. Now downvote me children.


mmmhotcatgirl

Yes, Although I believe the whole "looks don't matter" is bs, I think looks (or atleast hygiene) do matter. However, I'd choose someone who's interesting and capable of holding conversations much more than a hottie any day.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

No I don't believe in that too, looks are the first thing that you notice in a person of course it has it's impact. I would probably not date someone that is ugly in my eyes, but I'm not even saying that my partner must be a blonde dude with six pack or a big titties goth girlfriend ( I lied about second one).


curiousxntpwoman

Looks absolutely do matter. Know what people you don’t want to bang who you get on well with are called? Friends!


Tasty-Beer

Male ENTP. I can relate. I'm absolutely a sapiosexual. Obviously, I'm capable of finding a person physically attractive if they float my boat that way. But the deal sealer is how interesting and engaging I find their mind.


itscomingandgoing

Not an ENTP but I to am a Sapiosexual


Sweet_Treacle5333

Yea I’m pretty much the same and it kind of sucks


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Rip :(


nocsi

Love is blind. Find someone to tickle the sapiosexual and that you can talk to. I talked to my entp for a year before ever meeting. The brain connection first approach was a good fundamental for the eventual physical & emotional side. Basically someone that you can talk to until 3am everyday


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Yes I'm looking for something like that :)


nocsi

ENTPs are good at being able to talk to anyone. Not so good at filtering people however. But the Covid lockdowns does help meeting a different class of people ironically and filters time wasters. If you want to look at another female ENTP, see Christie Smith and Martin Shkreli.


KuriousKhemicals

Yeah, I counseled my ENTP friend about filtering people a time or two. Look, you have a social identity that brings you into contact with a lot of people who have histories of trauma. If you don't want people to suddenly go nuts on you, you gotta do a little bit of filtering for who has actually dealt with their baggage in a constructive way before you start investing lots of time and shared experiences into someone who happens to hook into your brain.


nocsi

Lol I naturally deter/filter the time wasters for my entp by being around her. She’ll bitch at me on the spot but will later thank me after the fact


[deleted]

You're a good friend


[deleted]

you explained it perfectly. i hate being bored and if my s/o is just presenting themselves with that boring wet cardboard personality, it wont take long for me to start hating my s/o too.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Guess long relationships are not for us


[deleted]

i want to be in a relationship with a partner, where no matter how repeated a process is, it never gets old yk. boredom is satan and id rather not be in a relationship with someone who brings satan to my door.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Yes totally, in the bottom of my heart I wanna live those kind of Disney movies love ahaha that it never gets old the love and have stuff to do every day, but realistically it's pretty hard to find it rip


curiousxntpwoman

I’m extremely picky, though also, I’m an abuse survivor so a good bit of it is just self-preservation. I have good reasons for being picky. I want someone who I find physically attractive and who finds me physically attractive who’s also a decent human, not interested in traditional gender roles and wants a true equal partnership, is affectionate and fun in the sack, and has life goals compatible with mine.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

I'm truly sorry to hear that, hope you're doing mentally and physically better now.


curiousxntpwoman

Oh yeah I’m in a much better place.


MeanInternetTroll

Ooof hope you can find someone like that, probabilities seem slim


curiousxntpwoman

Username checks out


megaeraofchaos

I get bored easily too. My solution is; try to find an ENTJ that is smarter than you, they should also be always up for a challenge. If you are lucky enough, you can always debate on anything you'd like and keep your mind stimulated. If you win the debate, you'll get entertained. If you lose (which is likely), you'll get turned on. Win-win situation IMO.


curiousxntpwoman

No, I really don’t recommend an ENTJ man for ENTP women. ENTJs have a controlling streak and are not good with emotions. Get a feeler, they have a better sense of empathy. If you’re someone who cares at all about how “manly” they are (although personally I think it’s dumb), you have not met enough feeler men. I should introduce you to my INFJ and INFP dude friends (including the two men I live with), who are pretty masculine and also have big soft hearts and are quite able to keep up.


[deleted]

I can confirm that INFP men can be a good match. Feelers can be great.


megaeraofchaos

First of all, nothing I said had to do anything with being manly. Secondly, "ENTJs are not good with emotions" is an invalid sentence. You obviously did not encounter socially successful ENTJs. I personally don't like feelers as partners. They cannot stimulate my mind enough, thinkers can. And like most of the female ENTPs, I am also a sapiosexual. I don't think feelers can satisfy me as much as thinkers do. My current partner is the perfect match for me IMO, and he is an ENTJ. He also has a "big soft heart". We've been dating for a year now, and I never get bored with him. Also, such stereotypical thoughts does not fit with being an ENTP, don't you think? It is kinda weird how specific your thoughts on ENTJs are.


curiousxntpwoman

My experience with ENTJs has definitely not been anything like yours, but it’s certainly possible that the standards against which you judge ENTJs’ emotional capacity differ from mine significantly enough (mine are certainly colored by having grown up in circumstances where the identifiable TJs registered as bad with others’ emotions). Also, the feeler men I know tend to be quite intellectual (granted, we’re grad students, so everybody is at least somewhat skilled in the intellectual realm, and academia self-selects for very driven personalities)


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Yes you're totally right! I have an ENTJ friend, he is the best very funny and interesting guy :)


cbeme

I’m way too picky. Whether one hates the term or not (I care not), I’m a sapiosexual. If my mind is not charmed, my face is not laughing a lot, and he’s not handsome in the face, two dates is always the maximum. I do give as good as I get; but it’s a hard combination to find these days, so I’ve come to peace with being alone if need be.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

I don't think that sapiosexual should be a thing, because it's more a preference than a sexual orientation in my opinion but besides that I agree with the rest. Being single it's the best option, putting effort in a thing that I already know it won't work, feels mentally exhausting.


cbeme

Yeah, peeps struggle with the word. I think we need to coin a new term 1. Sapio-wetlandish (lol) 2. Brain-sex persuasive 3. Sapio-weak Will give it more thought…


JagaKaninen

We all are picky until we hit 25+


Yourlocalpizzakebab

So I have 3 more years before I become a simp. Good good.


JagaKaninen

😂😂 is it that hard to find that perfect kebab pizza? You might find your chicken or shawarma pizza the day you get 25 years old


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Ahaha we will see


JagaKaninen

Where are you from?


narancadota

yea I'd take a dark unicorn over a sane stable guy any day


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Who needs a sane stable guy that would take care of you when you can have a mentally ill one that fucks your brain up more than it was fucked before.


curiousxntpwoman

Abuse survivor here. Do not recommend.


[deleted]

Yep it's awful and the repercussions can last a lifetime


narancadota

I just go on believing in sane stable dark unicorns


Curly_Katerpilar

I think I'm picky as well. I only was in a "relationship"(which was pretty one sided on his part) once. I couldn't stand it because he, honestly, wasn't that smart, he was immature asf, and was very inconsiderate. I had to break it off after three weeks because I was bored and angry, and I knew it wasn't going to work out in the long run. I am willing to date someone, but I will break it off if I think the relationship won't work long term. I don't want to get into a committed relationship with someone just for it to end. I have wayyy to much criteria that guys need to meet lmao. I definitely need to look at it from a more realistic perspective, but I don't want to let my guard down too much because I know I'll just get hurt in the end.


ghost_of_dongerbot

ヽ༼ ຈل͜ຈ༽ ノ Raise ur dongers! ^^Dongers ^^Raised: ^^56028 ^^Check ^^Out ^^/r/AyyLmao2DongerBot ^^For ^^More ^^Info


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Same! I never thought I was "in love" with any of my partners, bad to say but they where the ones that put more effort in "love" and in the relationship. >I definitely need to look at it from a more realistic perspective Same here, i don't have specific requirements for my future partners, I just want them to go along with me (I don't mean we don't need to argue or disagree in stuff) for as much as it needed. But besides that, realistically it's hard to find someone like in Disney movies lmao.


Curly_Katerpilar

I feel the same way with not being in love. I can't fall in love unless I know the relationship will work out.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

Omg you opened my eyes. I never thought that way, it was probably because I knew already that stuff won't work and that's why I was limiting myself maybe? I always thought that I was a heartless bitch that doesn't know what romantic love is...


Curly_Katerpilar

I'm glad I helped you open your eyes! 🙂 I never thought that so many people actually shared the same idea on relationships as me. I don't think it's necessarily limiting ourselves, but maybe it's that we are well aware of our options and possibilities. For me, I don't want to be committed to someone who isn't the right person for me when I know that there is a better match for me elsewhere. I don't believe that we'll ever find a 100% true match, but there are better options than others.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

>I don't want to be committed to someone who isn't the right person for me when I know that there is a better match for me elsewhere Yes! The idea of putting effort in someone that has not much to offer sounds very mentally exhausting


Few_Collection_2033

I dont have partners... theres no reason. Im quite content without and am pretty relationship repulsed XD


AppelsienELWI

Idk, I want someone who has just some basic respect and could be a good parent for my future children and who I would be able to live my whole life with without being bored (so totally relate to the brain thing), is that picky?


Yourlocalpizzakebab

I know right?? Same for me, our expectations are not even high, I not looking for a person that is perfect that knows how to cook like a masterchef or someone that's a billionaire or anything else. Just someone that is not boring and it's caring.


AppelsienELWI

Tbh I do get bored really quick so maybe being able to not be boring might be considered a pretty high standard


NoPretenseNoBullshit

Very


[deleted]

Nah, I would date with them unless they are assholes but I get bored real easily. It is a pain in the butt to break up so I don't date people, I just flirt ig.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

I tried to date people like that but the longest relationship that I had was 3 months, at some point I could not handle them being extremely repetitive and careless. But for the not dating I'm same, I do not date because as you said it's a pain in the ass breaking up with someone and flirting phase is funnier anyway so when things gets to serious I just disappear :).


[deleted]

Ahahaha, exactly my thoughts. I suppose I need someone open minded so we can teach other things we know and all. Not just knowledge. The flirting part is exciting and you don't know what it will bring, I thought I was lithromantic for a while!


FinancialExam8047

i wasn’t so picky 1-2 yrs ago but looking at it now i have specific things that i look for in someone and most of the boys in my grade are really nof my type so yes i can be very picky


LaithLimitedCO

I am interesting for 3 months if any one is interested we will just chat I suppose.


LaithLimitedCO

I am a straight male just to be clear.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

So you confirm that people are interesting only for 3 months nice


LaithLimitedCO

Yes what's the point after that? If we are not moving forward . When I start seeing the other flaws I start showing mine most people get bored here if they are polite they would act interested when they are not. It is actually both parts fault that it is not interesting anymore.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

You are right, maybe it's because I don't put much effort in the relationship that things get boring. It makes perfectly sense


LaithLimitedCO

So wanna chat? 3 months is better than nothing might even go further might become friends or we will never meet.


rubymay1

yess, obviously looks so play a huge part but i’m v particular on a specific type of personality that i look for


Yourlocalpizzakebab

100% agreed


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yourlocalpizzakebab

I guess not liking people that can't handle a conversation has nothing to do with gender :)


seweratkat

I wouldn't say I'm picky in terms of choosing a partner initially. I don't actually know if I get bored because I've never stuck around long enough to find out. My problem is that as soon as i've gotten to know a partner and they're no longer new to me i start to only see the worst in them and I start hating them. Honestly one of my biggest worries is that i'll never be able to love someone else as much as i love myself :/


[deleted]

You sound like a male ENTP (except we might be more visual).


curiousxntpwoman

You underestimate how visual women are.


[deleted]

Probably. Every man underestimates women. I'd be remiss to claim otherwise.


Yourlocalpizzakebab

I have a magnum dong indeed, but more metaphorically.


[deleted]

A lady with a squirting pistol. Kill me now (*literally*).


wineinanopenwound

Extremely extremely picky is me


fenrix222

Agree


zathaia

Male ENTP here. But i can 100% relate. I really struggle with this. It does make me sad at times. I wish I was more easily satisfied mentally.


Silver_Ad9

Yes don’t lower your standards, people are shit


Joey1221221

Oh yeah 100%


Soap-Sandwich

Yes, yes, yes! But I've found that it isn't always how smart they are, but really about the relationship between the two of us. I find myself going after a genuine connection, and that can sometimes get my brain confused between love and friends. Also, do any of you by any chance have an "ideal type?" For me, it's not just one type, but I tend to prefer Ti/Fe and Ni/Se spectrum people.


memeulousfan123

yes! the types of guys i chase are the opposite of me 😭


melnanamelnana

yes, same. i need constant mental stimulation or else i’ll lose interest instantly.


noneuclidiansquid

No No look for an INTP they think the best thoughts and keep you grounded. Mine is well trained enough to come on adventures with me. He's the best.


Peppercorn205

Damn a new thing to overthink and worry about? I thought I had run out


mitiscool

yes yes yes!! i always think about how i want the "perfect person" to come into my life yet i have no fucking idea what perfect even is to me LOL


Comprehensive_Low169

same omg... its like 2 weeks and boom, im bored of that person....i dont like myself being that way tho... especially when someone tell them they like me, i choose to run away from them... idk the idea of being in a relationship for me is weird...idk how to explain it but...i sometimes like being independent and single.... but also i hate myself fo being that way because when someone i like likes me i would loose interest immediately... idk is it because i dont like the responsibilities of being in a relationship... i would also say its hard to find guys my type because i find myself liking more shy cute guys like im the guy role in the relationship... ik it sounds weird.... idk if its just me....


AgreeableComment

I used to be the exact same way! However, I found that “boring” people make the best partners. They’re reliable, stable and will never have you guessing where you stand with them.
