What attracts an ENTP: conviction and confidence
By Derek Lee
what's that in the distance? oh, just the echo of your own awesomeness rebounding off the universe and attracting some quality humans. here's the dl on the sorta folks we entps (the challengers, duh) can't resist. each section – a spicy cocktail of stories, facts, life hacks, and wit (extra olives, plz) – is all about one irresistible quality. let's dive in, shall we?
having conviction: the spice of entp life
you know what's irresistible to us entps? someone with conviction. not the "yeah, sure, maybe" type but the "i'm-in-this-100%" type. kinda like the time i asked my date if they were into salsa (the dance, not the dip), and they said, "only if it's on a stage, in a salsa competition, in front of an audience." did i almost choke on my nachos? hell, yeah. but that's the allure.
see, our extroverted intuition (ne) craves novelty and what's more novel than an unshakeable belief in one's salsa prowess? when conviction shows up in our lives, it's like a dance-off challenge we can't resist. so if you're dating an entp – or even just sharing a workspace – be decisive, have an opinion, take a stand. makes life way more exciting and us, way more into you.
self-confident: say hi to our kryptonite
here's a story: met this person at a networking event (yeah, even us challengers do the boring stuff). they walked in late, owned it, made a joke, and had the room laughing in seconds. my first thought? "i'm gonna like this one." why? 'cause confidence is like catnip to us.
this is our introverted thinking (ti) at play, y'all. we're attracted to confidence 'cause it means you've got your stuff figured out. and ti? it digs that. it shows up in the fearless folks we date, the daring ideas we back, the bold memes we share. so, if you want to make an entp like you, strap on that confidence cape. we might just swoon.
independent: yes, we find that hot
ever tried to tell a cat what to do? yeah, that's what dating an entp is like. we value our independence and we're attracted to the same in others. once dated someone who ditched a date 'cause they wanted to try this new thai place across town alone. weird? to some. attractive? to us entps? very.
our ne feeds on autonomy, craves the unexpected. so, if you're looking to snag an entp, remember: your independence isn't just cool, it's hot. like sriracha on everything hot.
smart: brainy is the new sexy
fun fact: us entps, we’re suckers for big brains. not in the "aliens with oversized craniums" kinda way but in the "can decode a shakespeare sonnet while whipping up a soufflé" kinda way. brains tickle our ti. we love the challenge, the debate, the mental chess. so if you're dating us, gear up for some cerebral olympics.
what do entps like about intelligence? everything! the puns, the insights, the late-night debates about whether pineapples belong on pizza. so be you, be smart, and let that gray matter shine.
warm, soft, and gentle: our secret soft spot
surprise! we might be challengers, but we've got a thing for softies. remember, we've got that extroverted feeling (fe) lurking in our cognitive stack. it makes us gravitate towards people who are warm, soft, gentle. it's like yin to our yang, the marshmallow to our hot cocoa.
so, yeah, we may seem tough but deep down, we're just suckers for a good cuddle. who isn't, right?
open-minded: our kind of cool
ever hear an entp say, "nah, that's too weird for me"? didn't think so. we're attracted to open-mindedness. why? 'cause our ne loves exploring all the wild and crazy ideas out there. so, if you're open-minded, you're already what entps like in a mate.
show us a new perspective, challenge our thinking, dare to disagree. we promise, we won't bite. much.
intellectually curious: our forever vibe
our entp brains are like those old-timey explorers – always hunting for the next big thing. that's why we're drawn to folks who are intellectually curious. people who don't just accept things as they are but question, explore, ponder.
our cognitive functions, ne and ti, love it when they meet their match. so if you're the curious type, welcome aboard. we've been expecting you.
analytical: music to our ears
entps have this knack for pulling things apart, figuring out how they work, and then putting them back together (usually with some improvements). we can't help it, our ti demands it. that's why we're drawn to analytical minds.
an analytical mate is like the perfect harmony to our melody. so if you can dissect a problem while debating the merits of single origin coffee, you're our kinda person.
authentic: our true north
we're real, no-bullshit kind of people. and we're attracted to the same. authenticity is the keyword for us. someone who's true to themselves, who doesn't play mind games (unless they're the fun kind), who doesn't put on a mask - that's who we're looking for.
our fe values authenticity. it shows up in the way we value honesty in our relationships and how we approach our work. if you're authentic, you're a magnet for us entps. simple as that.
caring: the unsung hero
behind all the challenging and debating, we're just a bunch of caring softies. we value people who care for others and show empathy. our fe might be the underdog in our cognitive function stack, but when it comes to choosing a mate, it's got a major say.
someone who cares is like a calm spot in our storm of ideas and debates. so show us that tender, loving side of yours. we're all in for it.
stable: our anchor
and finally, we come to stability. it might sound odd, given our love for chaos and novelty, but hey, even us entps need an anchor. our inferior introverted sensing (si) has a thing for stability. it's like the quiet spot we retreat to when the world gets too much.
someone who's stable, who can be our rock, that's our kind of person. it's like having a safe harbor in our endless sea of ideas and debates. so if you've got that quality, we're all ears.
conclusion: wrapping up the entp love package
so there you have it, folks, the ultimate guide to what to do to make an entp like you. remember, we're complex creatures, drawn to a mix of conviction, confidence, independence, smarts, warmth, open-mindedness, curiosity, analysis, authenticity, care, and stability. so don't be afraid to be you, 'cause you're just the kind of crazy we're into. entp out.
