Can't think of anyone I know that I'd want to marry. There are some women I know that I'd be okay marrying, if it had to be done for some reason. None celebrities of any kind. Must admit though - Tiger Wood's wife is hot!  |

I think the decision to marry allows people to have a deeper connection since they're no longer keeping their options open. Might not be bad having a partner to go through life with. But that means more than just the emotional value, that they have the characteristics of someone you can expect to partner with and be able to stay partnered through the rest of your life... Honestly, integrity, willingness to compromise and solve problems for mutual benefit. Some pre-existing common ground. These days, most women don't really seem like marriage material, and if you're going in expecting a divorce some years down the line, then you're really just asking for trouble. The general attitude seems to be that marriage as a legal construct is designed to screw men over In theory though, if you can find someone you can respect, be attracted to, and work with, and who is willing to commit to you (and you to her) - I think it could be a good experience. I think it requires some maturity though, and a lot of people today aren't used to being reasonable and caring about other people or common purpose, more than their own immediate feelings. |

I don't want to marry for the sake of the poor, unknown gentleman who'd be stuck with me. O.O;;; I have a hard enough time living with myself sometimes....and I've had 26 years to get used to it. |

Hm. I'd say a lot of guys get married too young -- I knew a prostitute once who said no man should get married under age 45 because he'd always cheat. She was in a position to know. (won't say what position it was :0) I can say from personal experience that it does take a while before I came to that feeling of, "Hey, you know what, random sex isn't really all that -- it would be good to be with one person & grow something." In a way, though, our society isn't set up for that -- it's a little bit like a game of musical chairs, where it feels like you have to grab one before they're all gone. I don't think that's necessarily true, but there's definitely a sense of social pressure to marry by early to mid 30's. |

Marry a T type man - lower probability of cheating NT - even lower. INT - further lower: partially because he just won't bother going to find someone else to cheat with. |

I don't think that's necessarily true, but there's definitely a sense of social pressure to marry by early to mid 30's. I'd say that's truer for women than men, mainly because men are appreciating assets for most of their lives, while women are depreciating assets.
This is just obvious stuff no one likes to hear-- a woman's value as far as marriageability (is that even a word?) begins to drop at age 30, and drops sharply after 35. From a man's perspective, it looks like getting saddled with a kid and spending by a woman that's uglying-out on you fast. Better for a woman to sucker some poor fool while they're young and pretty.
There is a clock for men too, but it works differently-- we can get away with marrying older, but the incentive to do so drops by late 30s early 40s. Sure, it becomes easier to pay for the expensive baby-maker to have the kids, but few want to be chasing around their teenage kids in their late 50s, no matter how young the wife is. |

-shrug- what I find attractive is not so tangible as age or appearance. It's an essense that I can't really put a name to....something like charisma or confidence. But more vibrant than simple pride. |

I think Ns in general get along better with older S types at least. And the more intelligent you are, the more experienced someone else has to be to match that (unless they're equivalently intelligent) |

If we talk about looks only, Jolene Blalock. -humming- i wish they ought to be California
As to anything else, since you likely don't know the people i do it would be pointless for me to mention marry-able women. |

As far as hot models and characters on tv go, I agree that Jolene Blalock is among the first that comes to my mind too.
To my eyes, she looks like something between an NF and an NT. Almost more NT, but I sense strong passion there. Which admittedly some of us have (or had) |

Spock didn't really strike me as NT. He was rigid, and had an almost irrational disapproval of emotion
I think some NTs definitely identify with Vulcans - I've never identified with them myself. Always seemed more stuck up than intelligent and creative.
I liked Data from Star Trek TNG as a kid though, and I really liked the idea of mentats in Dune. People with the ability to understand and plan very complex things, who chose not to let emotions cloud their judgement.
Generally, I think INTX, and possibly most NTs respect Intelligence and Thought over Emotion.
I think most Ts have a healthy disrespect for being overly emotional  |

It's because....in spite of our youthfulness, ENFPs are just more mature....  |
