Where the hell are the female ENTPs?

[ByMySword]

I've only really interacted with two or three in my ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

And they say INFJs are rare!!!!!!!! :doh:

Where are all of you lovely ENTP ladies? :huh:

[Silently Honest]

You've met three?

I've met one.

[ByMySword]

You've met three?

I've met one.

One of my ex-girlfriends may have been one, but I'm not sure.

She may have been an ENFP instead. Hard to tell with her.

But the only other two I've ever really interacted with were from this site.

aelan and whatever.

[digesthisickness]

why do you want to know?

[ByMySword]

why do you want to know?

Its just really hard for me to find female ENTPs.

The interactions I've had with them have been amazing and I'd really like to experience that first hand.

Here :hi:

However, I must warn you I am happily married :D

I like your avatar. Dark tower fan?

[spirilis]

This is a good question. I've only met one lady IRL who I am going on a *hunch* might be ENTP. I've known at least 2 male ENTPs, possibly more.

[Oberon]

The essential ENTP impulse is the one an 8-year-old boy has when he gets his first Legos: "COOL!!! ...now what can I make with these?"

The trick is to not lose that reaction.

[digesthisickness]

hmm. well, damn. i feel for you, but i don't know how to answer you. we don't have a certain kind of hangout. we could be anywhere with anyone.

maybe try keeping an eye out for the chick that may look like all of the other ones on the outside, but instead of acting like them, she's laughing at them, cracking jokes at their expense while talking to them (but they're laughing too), watching a lot (analyzing), only contributing to the gossipy type conversations in an obviously polite (but looking bored) way, things like that.

that's how i'd look for me anyway. i've never met a female one either.

Yeah, I just wanted to vent.

I'll have to keep those things in mind when I'm looking, though. Thanks. :D

[digesthisickness]

welcome! and good luck. you'll need it.

...

and not just to find one.

Hmm, and ENTP girlfriend... I feel slightly worried that I'd be too tense for her.:blush:

not in the spirit of tormenting you, you know... I just needed to laugh! :D

[booya moon]

I know only two female ENTPs in real life. And they were both fellow scientists at the uni., where I work.
IMO, the higher than normal concentration of female ENTPs could be found in academic/research environment.
Good luck with your search.:)

Seaking up on you from behind to give you a wedgie

[The_Liquid_Laser]

I can spot male ENTP's really easily. I'm not sure if I've ever met a female one in RL though, and I've met boatloads of NT's. They are rare for sure.

[ThatGirl]

Ive never met another female ENTP but have known three male.

Maybe thats why we stick out like soar thumbs where ever we go. But arent the ratios balanced for male to female ENTPs?

[Economica]

I recently met (http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/275853-post145.html) my first confirmed female ENTP. :happy: Come to think of it, the same goes for female INTPs (recently met the first confirmed one). I've met plenty of female NTJs though. :mellow:

[digesthisickness]

T females are rarer than F females in general.

[MacGuffin]

I think they are a myth.

[Usehername]

Eco has brought up Rose McGowan before, but I can't even think of a pop culture ENTP female besides her.

Uhhh, I had a similar reaction, and I'm an ENFP female? :-/ Not saying you're wrong, but I think it's difficult to be sure?

OMG!!!!! :shock: Wait, no, it can't be. Nooooo - I'm not ENTP, even though I act like that, too. I just - CAN'T be!!! Noo, it's definitely an Ne thing, I think.

Whew, okay, what a relief - I'm just a social scientist, and that doesn't count. (Stashes away her Gehirn und Geist and PM and Geo magazines and starts whistling innocently).

T females are rarer than F females in general.

Whewwwwwww another good sign. Okay, folks, I think I can put my worries at ease. ;) I'm an ENFP.

[ByMySword]

No shit.

[GZA]

I admire ENTP's a lot, so I'm curious how ENTP women are as well. I think I know one, but I'm not really sure.

[ZiL]

This thread just tangentially reminded me of something I realized last week. I was walking with another female friend (IxFP), and she asked me if I wanted to check out the campus art gallery. I wanted to go, but had just gotten a refill on my soda. So I said, "Okay, I'll just have ta' chug 'it." And she was like, " 'Chug 'it'? Gross!" And then I almost died laughing because I suddenly realized how..."unfeminine" it sounded. And how I'm very prone to saying "unfeminine" things like that, but have never consciously realized it. What must people think of me after all?! lol.

Anyhow, I'd agree with digesthisickness...there is no signature spot for ENTP females that I've discovered. They can be found in a lot of environments - which means you have to pay attention to how they're acting to pick them out. And even that could be difficult, haha. I personally act slightly different based on my enviroment - though there probably is a pattern of bearing which I can't figure out because I'm the only ENTP female I know, and I'm not very good at self-observance. I do generally try to make those I'm with laugh, though, whoever they are. So...look for laughter? Nah, that's stupid....

[ThatGirl]

Then you are crazy for thinking you are actually reading this right now.

Ill be out at the cowboy bar tonight.

I got bullied into it.

I used to think that Sarah Silverman was an ENTP, but it just didn't seem quite right to me. After reading her background I've come to the conclusion that she is an ENTJ.

I'm not sure of Ellen Paige's type, but I'm certain the screenwriter of Juno is an ENTP.

[Economica]

TLL, you just appointed me with hours of Sarah Silverman research. :yes:

And I think Ellen Page is an ISTP.

An ENTJ would never seek a career in comedy. I think people put a lot of comedians as Ns if they make sense, I beg to differ.

[The_Liquid_Laser]

Well I can see why a person would think Sarah Silverman is an ENTP, because I used to as well. Her approach to comedy is unconventional and she lacks any reservations about breaching taboos or offending people. While this can describe an ENTP, it can also describe an ENTJ. I think what made me realize she's an ENTJ is this quote on wikipedia from an SNL writer that worked with her:

"I could see how it wouldn't work at SNL because she's got her own voice, she's very much Sarah Silverman all the time. She can play a character but she doesn't disappear into the character -- she makes the character her."

An ENxP portraying a character would definitely "disappear into the character". They would read the script and make themselves become what the script called for. In fact I don't think she's an ESTP either for this same reason. However ENTJ's in general are known for making the world conform to their vision rather than vice versa. An actor that makes every character become like her would describe an ENTJ very well.

Also her comedy style is simply not like the plethora of ENTP comedians out there. Most ENTP do observational humour and while they have their own views on things they try to communicate them in a way that fits their audience's perspective. Sarah's humour seems to have more shock value, and I think a lot of people don't get it, because she is communicating from her perspective. She is basically saying, "This is funny, because I see it as funny. Therefore you should too." An ENTP would say, "This situation is funny. Now how do I communicate it in a way that people get the joke?"

[ENTraPper]

I am a female ENTP. I just joined this site, actually. We are incredibly rare as I am reminded every single day. No one thinks like I do, especially not women. I am pretty sarcastic, witty, too smart for my own good and I will charm the pants off of you and then sell them back to you without blinking an eye. Oh, and I am modest, too. The most modest person you will ever meet. ;)

It's funny, because I am always on the hunt for an INFJ male. Things just click even though we are SO different. I feel like you guys should be terrified of us, though. We are a handful.

[edel weiss]

Another female ENTP here. :hi: I've never met another one in real life so far. I'm sure you can find them, though. If you find a girl who gets excited when she sees orange mushrooms you've got one right there. :D

[563 740]

hmm. well, damn. i feel for you, but i don't know how to answer you. we don't have a certain kind of hangout.

Not true; OP, have you tried looking in cool, damp places? Most live outside, primarily under large rocks, piles of wood and especially in compost piles. I think a bunch got into my house as well; I always see them scattering into dark corners when I flip on the basement light.

[Synarch]

Never met one either. Would like to. So, which female ENTP is in the Austin area?

Sounds like a typical traditional woman who isn't a feeble demanding whiner imagining men owe her rights she does not owe them and calling herself 'feminist'

[sade]

My best friend is an ENTP, but she's in Europe, like me. Too far for you.
Thankfully for me ENTP men are more common.

This info is posted just to aggravate you further. Good luck. :D

[naymornings]

My experience (as friends of ENTP and as one myself):

Finding ENTP Females: Witty as hell, laugh easily and often. Silly when drunk, but will continue to use a good vocabulary nevertheless. Either intimidating men, gaining their mutual respect (one of the boys), or scaring the shit out of the general public. They talk to strangers easily. They love counter-culture. Not usually very girly (when it comes to how they dress and their lack of F), although someone posted that they were- which surprises me greatly.

My predictions: Most easily found at obscure shows, book stores, at cafes.
DO NOT ATTACH. Playing hard to get is a win strategy with an ENTP, because clingyness will freak them out- guaranteed.
I am surprised i have an ENTP friend, and let me tell you, the mix of us other is cruel and toxic. We play a lot of jokes on the public, love to conceptualize together, come up with big plans that never happen, and laugh a lot- usually at the public's expense .. . it gets lethal.

good luck hunting.
2 in Kansas though.

I'm not sure I've met a single ENTP woman my entire life (in person). That's the only type I haven't come across. Met plenty of ENTP guys though.

Strange, this is.

[tinkerbell]

ENTP women are rare, like 0.5% of the population, so you'll have a hell of a job finding them.

Try unusual hobbies, bookshops (love them myself), marketing careers

Typically the ones I've met are loud, a bit flakey, very cheeky and a wee bit of a handful - if somewhat fun.

Happy hunting.

That's actually really creepy.
But you're in luck, she moved to Canada.

[Synarch]

Yea, I suppose so. I just meant that obstacles are simply that, obstacles.

NT women are rare in general. I have met them in this frequency: INTJ females, ENTJ females, and one ENTP female. I have never met another ENTP male. The one ENTP female I met was a Director at our company. Extremely seductive and interesting, though about 10 years older.

[sade]

^ Hey.. I wasn't being completely serious about that. Had I been, I wouldn't have told you she's in Canada. ;)
They are rare, I think there are some in the chemistry faculty's in unis. At east in mine there are..
