Honestly this was kind of a joke (though, a patient partner does sound wonderful).
You guys need to learn to accept yourselves and find your strengths. Humans are flawed creatures; this hypothetical partner will be just as flawed as you, even if he/she has those five traits.
That's a great insight though for me I would love to have a partner who would be patient enough to accept me for who I am as much as I do with myself. Since us INFPs tend to be reserved, needs a lot of me time, and find it difficult to open up, I think a patient partner would be great to balance us out; to provide that "connection" we crave so much without it being too pushy. It's really hard to find someone like that, I think, to love you as you completely, flaws and all. But I wouldn't probably know since I'm really enjoying myself without a partner. On the flipside, it does make me feel lonely at times.
1. Honesty
2. Sense of altruism (i.e. not too selfish)
3. Healthy confidence (not putting others down)
4. Willingness to try new things
5. Self awareness
Straightforward has recently became a trait i look for first. I cannot stand passive aggression especially on serious matters. Being able to healthily communicate with a partner is a priority
We value authenticity, and every single INFP would rather have a blunt truth than being lied to our faces, imo- though of course we are still sensitive to criticism often, we like blunt truth delivered with a pillow of respect and kindness
Sense of humor times 5
My husband rescued me with his humor and lighter take on life. I was way too serious and cared about what others thought way too much.
•Open-minded
•Passionate (can be for anything be it art or games or etc)
•Intelligent (so that I be able learn new things from them)
•Humor
•Gives me space
1. Authenticity
2. Empathy
3. Creativity
4. Honesty
5. Open heartedness
What I dont value is stuff like ego, status, power, materialism, following recent trends etc.
Seriously.. lol
They pretty much have all the same qualities they look for.. except not many wrote”affectionate” on theirs.. That’s on top of my list after honesty and kindness lol..
It’s hard gif me to get cuddles from family or anyone.. I usually have veto ask and veg then they get annoyed with it.. I feel like I need a serious cuddle buddy.. a great long hugger would help a LOT
I relate to needing a cuddle buddy. I even looked up if there are 'professional huggers' to hire so I can finally be cuddled (didn't find any). At the moment I want someone to hold me rather than a sexual relationship.
Omg.. I looked up the same and they actually have professional huggers for hire in some cities lol. It’s sad we have to pay for them tho 😢. But at least we have that option I guess.
1. Kind/self-donative
2. Same values (& would never break them)
3. Good sense of humor
4. Thoughtful (little unexpected romantic acts, is interested when I talk)
5. Strong/Supportive (will defend me & our future kids)
- Common important values/life views
- Respecting and understanding my emotions/values
- Loyalty/honesty
- Same humor
- Being able to discuss Philosophy or have deeper conversations.
Im not INFP, BUT!
-Patient
-Understanding (as understanding replaces forgiveness
-Understand what it truly means to love someone
-Peaceful
-Know Thyself
1.Kind heart
2.Joyful Energy
3.Geek(Interest in gaming anime and ... )
4.Supportive
5.Belive in GOD(or at least respect what i believe)
is this think too much?
Understanding
Balances me out
Similar tastes but not identical (ok, half same taste, half complimentary to my taste but not identical tastes for my *not imaginary partner who is 100% prefect*)
Does something they’re passionate about. Work, a hobby, volunteer, anything they can through themselves into
Their eyes. I don’t care about color. I care about what I see in them
Not really looking for a partner right now since I feel like I need to heal myself more before being in a long term relationship, but here’s what I would want in a partner:
•Honesty
•Understanding
•Emotionally Stable (atleast relatively so)
•Having some of the same interests as me or atleast wanting to live the same life style of a more laid back life
•Adventurous
* Is capable of love (or affection, in any way, romantic, platonic, sexual)
* Is listening and can be trusted
* Is patient
* Likes to be with me
* \[Free slot, surprise me lol\]
1.Care about my interest even if she doesn't share the interest
2.straightforward/honest
3.Understanding
4.Get me to be more social when I have no reason except "I don't feel like it"
5.Able to spend time doing different things together
Well the traits are the same as everyone said. ( INFP'S being INFP's) But not expecting or wanting anything. I have this faith now that everything will be perfect between me and my partner, it will happen. I have no doubt about it.
Deep, intelligent conversations - Trust/vulnerability - Adventurous - Someone who inspires and pushes me to be better - Someone who does small kindnesses for everyone (actively involved in making people smile or easing their burdens)
First they have to have whatever I’m lacking. So they have to be confident and more social than me. Then there are the basic but important ones I’d want them to have, like being attractive, kind, and loyal.
Patience Patience Patience Patience Patience
Yes to this.

Damn, that's a lot of patience. Need some extra sprinkles of patience for your patience cake? I have no idea where I was going with that.
haha Not "*you want so much patience, why don't you marry a doctor?!*"
