I agree actually. Geting dating advice from a bunch of angry virgins won't help.


...which might explain some of the issues with RC priests!

People who are wired to be social give better advice on social matters than those who are severely socially impaired?
Strange...



Although I see your point to a certain extent, being an NT does not always mean that an individual is innately adept and adroit in socializing. I know NTs who are socially awkward just like J. Alfred Prufrock in the TS Eliot poem.

And by the way, I am an NT - and a very social and extroverted one at that!

I am an NT. I see being NT as an advantage in the sense that I can construct models and infer patterns of action through observation and theorising; this means I can cut what may seem like a Gordian Knot of relations between people by making certain reductionisms. However, a lot of what relationships come down to is hard to predict and not 'rational' in the sense most people are used to. Even if we assumed my advice (or any NT's) were correct, I also wonder how far one should go to succeed in a relationship. That is, the more advice you lean on, the less learning or self-experiencing you may be avoiding.

My bad. I thought they meant NT as in the Myers-Briggs personality indicator type (NT is rational).
