Are you absolutely sure he was an ENTJ..? I've gotten the impression that most of us don't chase after impossible pie-in-the-sky things just because we can't achieve it. Sure it might sound like that, but most of us have highly concrete and realistic ambitions. But then again, ENFP's in general are quite tempting. And especially so if it's a smart one. I actually "chased" an ENFP girl when I was about 12-15. It was my first real love. And she was pretty stupid. Still really cool personality, though.

I ALWAYS do this. I talk myself to a conclusion When I started rambling on about it I didn't understand that guy at all, now I do !
A) depends what you consider impossible
B) bullshit, speak for yourself. Part of the beauty is in the chase. Even if the odds are way against you.

Vulnerability is the key to likability at work (and on the farm)
I wiki'd her. No wall street.

Want ta hae' a goode auld fistfight about it, lad? Sorry, just listening to a stupid scottish song about some barfighter. ^^ Seriously, I got to the point where I agree with you during the time it took me to respond to LadyJaye! I chased that girl back in my glory days for about three years! And it wasn't because of loneliness or something, I was a goodlooking kid, and about 50 chicks hit on me directly out in the open during that time. It makes me kinda sad, I could have used it to my advantage. A lot.

Oops! Re-Googled within her blog--she worked next to wall street while marketing, and was almost crushed to death by bodies on 9/11 which made me think that.

How do ENTJs become likeable and less threatening to others?

The same way anyone would become less threatening: by looking at what makes them threatening, and adjusting.

How do you view ENTJs?

They're cool folks. I like spending time with anyone who's intuitive and enjoys order and logic. I haven't been exposed to too many ENTJs, but my girlfriend is XNTJ.

What would you like to see more of from ENTJs?

Nipple.

What could you do without?

Your questions.

Just kidding, that's not my nipple. I have two of them, but I don't want to take pictures of 'em

It looked like an SP nipple, anyway. I can tell.

Yeah. That was an ugly piercing, and if my chest wasn't as hairy as it is, it'd probably look a lot better. I'm not a pale scrawny guy. ^^

You've read her writing and bio?

I've gone through her entire blog (several days worth of reading) and wholeheartedly identify with the xNTJ female-who-knew-she-wanted-a-family mixed with experience-of-death-trauma-making-you-more-people-oriented-ness. That and she's posted on the fact that she's an ENTJ and seems familiar even with some of the nuances of the MBTI. I'm pretty sure if you read the exact link to the post I referenced, you'll see the Te dom.
