>Which types do you find yourself getting along with the best? Do you like your opposites (ESTJ) or do you feel oppressed by high Te people?
I'm OBSESSED with my opposites when the chemistry's right. Haven't interacted with many ESTJ since becoming MBTI aware (only been about a year) but had fun trading brains with a female ISTP and ENTJ pair. I specify because I think the sexual polarity is important, being that I'm a feminine type, and thus don't always gel so well with overly masculine males if they aren't open or able to respect my own masculinity. The feminine energy applied to masculine types compliments very well, and their sun signs reflect their MBTI. I have a thing for Fire and Air, both considered masculine, which seems atypical of Water, but opposites do draw me; I think I perceive the duality of imbalanced balance within and seek the same to complete, which is why the more formulaic socionics-ish stuff appeals

I've had some conflict with INFJ, which lines up with our Ni and Fi Critics, respectively. We're opposites in a way that sneaks up, but I like the type a lot.
Similarly, Ne blind can cause friction but it's more laughable and I'm happy to clue them in to what they overlook. It's one reason ISTP are fun to me, and I think I'd get along with ISFP well too.
Fi blind in the case of ExTP is another story: I think it hits too close to home, causing a sense of my dominant being invalidated or just not considered by nature. The connection is off. Not always terrible, but seems hard to truly come together. Maybe you relate to all of these from the INFJ perspective, concerning ESxJ in this case.
Other INFP are hit or miss

Hopefully that's a decent answer. I know I really respect T, especially with that ENTJ where it's almost a subordinate feeling of 'I trust you to Te better than me' compared to Ti which i more readily challenge

can't think of any other opposite-esque pairings off the top, besides maybe INTP, but I also don't wanna derail here

>I think the sexual polarity is important, being that I'm a feminine type
Are all F types feminine, and T types masculine, or are there other criteria in your opinion?
I think I get what you mean, I feel a kind of insecurity around very masculine types, but I feel like there's a possibility for good chemistry when, as you say, they aren't demeaning about it. The guy I get along with best right now is an ESTP, and one of my long time friends is ISTP, which I don't think is random. Maybe we tend to also admire people who are competent at using our weakest function. I find high Se people cool as fuck; since opposites also draw you in, are you similarly impressed by people who are very competent at Te?
Some people on the other hand seem insecure about competent/confident displays of their weakest function, it probably hinges on the immaturity of their dom function.
>'I trust you to Te better than me' compared to Ti which i more readily challenge
Yeah that's interesting I definitely get the same feeling from Se doms and a sense of annoyance from Si doms. I wonder if they feel the same, concerning Fi and Ni respectively, when it comes to us.

>Are all F types feminine, and T types masculine
It's a spectrum, but yes, F and T are typically feminine and masculine (and this is reflected in population stats, Thinker women being uncommon (men have more spread but that's true of most things because peacocking). A type like INFJ is more androgynous than INFP, arguably the most feminine, but just like we've agreed regarding other systems, it's not 1:1.

You've an ESTP in you, so it makes sense (the same way I'd theoretically click with the right ESTJ). Yes I admire Te, and Ti for that matter. I was just reading posts from a pair of (presumed) INFJ and at awe at their rational throughlines. I can't write so sharp, driving home points succinctly. There's a feeling of inadequacy at times, but mostly I'm always impressed---except when that very logic shows itself to be clouded, which even if I *feel*, I lack the sword to cut through to reason with them. I'd kill for T in such moments, and find myself slipping into a poor attempt at cool rationality, trying to produce it to match wavelength, or becoming more T when someone's F. Switchy slidey stuff to harmonize

>Some people on the other hand seem insecure about competent/confident displays of their weakest function, it probably hinges on the immaturity of their dom function.
yea i'm not sure about dom being to blame or a lack of lower functions (or if there's much difference), but I've definitely seen it. They liken 'opposites attract' to meme, and maybe it's true in their case. I view frictional pairings as high risk, high reward, similar to twin flames. They can burn each other out, and as such, may require maturity, more ability to consider the other, and could still promote dependence on the other for what you lack; whether that's acceptable depends on the couple, and whether the chemical wedding should be internal, external, or both; to a degree, I think 2 can't help but be 3.

I imagine mature Se/Te do feel the same. All that you lack is your god.
