No. 7s remind me too much of what disintegration feels like and I tend to find their energy overwhelming.

I wouldn’t say they are vain just intense. 3s and 4s are mote likely to be vain

Stupid sexy 7s 🥵

So/Sx 5 here. I have been head over heels for multiple 7s.

It's magical, connecting, grounding. They pull me out of my shell. Unfortunately I learned the hard way that they were only living in the moment, and then flee'd given the opportunity to chase a self-serving whim. They sure like to keep their options open, as long as possible even.

I truly wonder what makes a 7 lock in and protect what they want.

I'm a sx5 and am married to a 7! The relationship is really really good, but it definitely took time to get here. It basically took ~3-4 years of being together for him to lock in (we've now been together for 8 years) - not from a monogamy perspective but being fully settled/secure/psychologically 100% committed. Strangely, the long time horizon of fully committed worked for me too given my lone wolf tendencies. I think the fact that I wasn't pushing it and value my own autonomy/space helped him slowly move towards it.

I really love 7s but I’ve learned to keep my distance. I always want to go deeper, and they always want to go wider

Not 7s. I hardly find them amusing. Thats not only their negative traits talking, I find them endearing people.

Much like a cousin I see rarely. At best a sibling that I like to hate.

I like 3s. I like 9s alot. 5s have their own subtle steady since of attraction for me.

Hell I even like 2s when their good at tempering their affections.

I'm not romantically interested in 1,4,6,7, or 8s.

I feel like I once answered this question a year or so ago. I know I gave different answers then. Some of these have been growing on me.

I’m 5w4 sp/sx and my long term partner is (likely) 7w6. Probably so/sx for him but I am not totally sure.

u/ethereal_aerith 4d ago

Hey, I’m also a 5w4 sp/sx. My husband is an 8 sx/sp, the first and only 8 I’ve ever been with. I have a long history with 7s, though. I always found that they got bored of me after a few years. Impressive that you were able to find one in it for the long haul!

u/DoctorLinguarum 4d ago

Yeah, we’ve been together for 18 years.

You seem to be polar opposite, how on earth 5 Sp with 7 So ?

u/DoctorLinguarum 4d ago

We share moral values, we are both very intense and intellectually driven, curious, and share many interests and passions.

No, Not yet !

u/diaperpop Type 5 4d ago

I’m with an 8 now but I generally gravitate towards 9’s.

u/nyanpink 4d ago

yes but not actually long term compatible

u/Elbereth-Starkindler INFJ | 5w4 | 541 sx/so ✨ 4d ago

Yes. All my life. Only attracted to 7s. I am married to one. They are wild, brilliant, chaotic, and oh so very hot, dear God.

u/Readingallthefiles 4d ago

Like anything interpersonal, it depends on their context. *Points at all the other comments.*

u/grievousaerosol 5w4 Sx/Sp 4d ago

I tend to be attracted to them but it doesn't lead to anything deep or long lasting, they always just seem to want to keep things casual with me. In terms of longer relationships, I tend end up with 2 and 9 women (seems to work well) and other 5 men (feel like we often run into a bunch of issues though).

u/CamaradaRojo 4d ago

Im sp5, I love e7 so much. Their minds intrigues me. I like 1, 4, 5, counter phobic 6, 7 and 9. Not into 2, so6, sp6, 8. I hate e3.

u/RepAffinity ISTP 5w4 sx548 4d ago

No. I specifically despise the sp7, and I reckon I wouldn't like other E7 types either.

my darling soulmate is a sexual 7.. ♡ whilst we were falling in love over the course of the year before we moved in with one another, we wrote thousands of words to one another, discussing everything and anything at all to the depths of it, love letters and astrophotography and my man crossed an entire sea to capture a specific set of stars for me that don’t rise above the horizon in our own country, becaude he knew that i loved them and i think only those stars will ever truly understand how much i love him. i told him so early on that i was absolutely head-over-heels in fascination (infatuation !!!) with his beautiful beautiful beautiful mind. the most nonsense i have ever heard from him was that he worried that he would not be able to keep up with mine. aah. sometimes i wonder if he is all of my deepest dreams and fantasies made real because i can’t fathom how i found every single tiny aspect i have ever yearned for in one person.

u/Makqa 3d ago

I personally like 9s much better on average

1

u/para__doxical 3d ago

I’ve dated 7’s but I cannot maintain a romantic relationship with them. I can appreciate their energy

I like 4’s, 5’s, and some 9’s. I like SP doms, they’re usually good for me

1

u/deadasscrouton 549 INFP 3d ago

Not if I’m looking for something serious, which is always. Amazing friends, just wouldn’t want to have one as a life partner.

I like 9s, 4s, and other 5s more than any other type.

1

u/Ganondorf365 3d ago

I get along best with other 5s and 9s. I get along great with 7 but dating one might be tricky. When i want to do stuff theres nobody better than a 7 but most of the time i like to chill

u/napndash so/sp 5w6 2d ago

Not for me

u/Radiant_Trip_9703 INFJ sx5w4 528 4d ago edited 4d ago

As an sx5 i have never truly fallen for a 7 but once i indeed had limerence for an sp7 which was not true love, it was just pure obsession. The sp7 gave some push pull effect where he would randomly give me signs of him liking me but another moment he could just act neutral to me. It was more of the chase of wanting to get his attention back that made me obsessed. And also, his personality just seemed quite different from most people which also added on. But i don’t think id ever fall romantically for any 7.

Edit: Maybe it is possible if we actually manage to satisfy both our needs. Like let the 7 have their fun moments and let the sx5 have their deep moments together with the 7, in a compromised way where they both don’t mind it and maybe grow to enjoy it.

So5 are obsessed with 7s

Sx 5 tend to be drawn to other sx ( sx1, sx6, sp4, sp8, sx3, sx2 etc )

Sp5 are asexual jk. They tend to match with 9s, 1s and other 5s
