I couldn't get results because they wanted me to join GoCupid.com or something... I'm good. No dating sites.
You can skip that by not entering in your details at the end and just clicking "next" at the bottom.

Ok I didn't do it because I already know... =) ISTP.... I love my ISTP! Perfect match. I give him a little structure; he gives me fun! I can't say we don't butt heads once in a while but we both need someone strong to help us grow! We're both a little hard headed sometimes! =) But, he's my soul mate and it's the most fulfilling relationship I've ever had. I can't say I would like every ISTP out there though...some would drive me nuts ( and vice versa I'm sure)... personality is only a portion of compatibility of course. There's no perfect formula but I know multiple ISTP/ESTJ couples who seem very happy.

Until my ex I always used to go out with people I know. I have tried dating the american style and it just does not work for me. it gives me too many opportunities o find fault with the person and get rid of them.
why are you still single, do u date?

I actually date quite a bit... I am a bit intimidating, even though I smile a lot, so I think I scare off a bunch of them. I've recently been dating a lot of guys in sales- usually EXXP's and they are SOOOOOOOO FLAKY!!!!! It drives me absolutely mad! I can't understand how they can be so successful in their jobs and then so unorganized in their personal lives! I also dated a guy who just got out of medical school, but all he wants to do is party. Then I went out with a cop in Miami and all he wanted was sex. Then there's a regional manager of a liquor company who wants me to help him change, but I think he's a whore and I won't touch him with a 10 foot pole until he cleans up his act (and I see a clean bill of health). He's turning 30 next month and he knows that his party days are becoming a bit too different from the life he wants (family, kids, etc)...

Who else? Then there are my massage clients. PLEASE! If you want to ask me out on a date, ask me out to dinner. Don't try to get a massage and be all sweet on me! I get propositioned entirely too often as it is, and I'm not going to hook up with you and then you pay me for my services... I don't know what goes through some of these guy's minds!!!

What is the difference between your style of dating and the American style? I am very traditional, so I generally won't go up to a guy and talk to him. I am SO over being the man in my relationships!

Well I don't know if you have read "the rules".
I have tried to apply that but it seems to me you go more through quantity than quality.
I used to date a lot, at least one guy a week if not more (that is what the book recommend).
But that felt like a drag, a chore and I did not find someone I like or if I did I had the same problems as you (just felt that some men just want to get in your pants).
At the moment I have stop dating.
Obviously what I have tried before did not work, I got stuck for years in going nowhere relationships.
The dating scene doesn't seem to suit me.
In France, your friends would try to matchmake you with one of their friends you don't know, they'll have a diner party and you would be sat next to each other. I miss that.
In England people do not seem to do that. The other problem I have is that most of my friends are male (married or in relationships), so the ydo not do matchmaking at all.
I hope I answered your question

But I would definitely need an XXTX. At least the T!
...ogles your T
MY guess it would be someone with introverted thinking as their dominant or auxiliary function. Although I think two people of any type should work.

In my first job my supervisor was - THE ESTJ - and I got along so perfectly well with him :D
although we were not romantically involved hahaha our work based relationship was excellent!

I don't see how being a P or an N can screw up anything! ^^
