I will be more explicit, and watch you drown in 6 inches of water until you decide to lift your head up.
james bond is not shy or introverted, or any other quality you could attribute to a beta male.
james bond was designed by Ian Flemming to be the archetype of a manly man who does daring things, no holds barred, and always gets the girl.
I know I am not going to fix you, but I am not going to do you the disservice of agreeing with your baloney.
It is for your own good, this is not a personal attack, intended as tough love.
Alphas are not shy, or introverted, or any similar word. The closest you could ever get would be quiet, and thats only when it suits them because talking serves no purpose at the time.
The word is "bologna". Introverted tendencies have to do with self, intelligence, and all that comes with it.
I can't believe I'm being corrected on symantics by someone who ignores the definitions of words.
Getting the girl doesn't mean he's extroverted to do so, it means he gets her, doesn't specify how. Manly isn't the opposite of introverted, and his job requires that he be daring, I doubt he does it because he thinks it's fun. He might find it personally fulfilling to save nations, more than he just wanted a job where he can run and jump.
Introverted isn't always a beta quality, which is why this thread was made, and as I said, ignoring the shy, the rest fits better than extroverted.
More definitions from other sources, let's get a well rounded idea.
"introvert = someone who gets their energy from themselves
extravert = someone who gets their energy from others"
Yeah, he feeds off attention...
"EXTROVERTS
Talk first; think later
Seek out other people
Are transparent, easy to read
Tend to be “babbling brooks”: People often tune them out.
Draw energy from other people
INTROVERTS
Think first; talk later
Prefer going solo
Show fewer facial expressions
Don’t speak up too often: People tend to tune in when they do.
Are energized by time spent alone
"
Yup, that's Bond. Totally transparent and babbling away.
Not a definition, still valid.
Introvert James Bond: He could tell you, but then he’d have to kill you.
- I usually like to have lunch by myself. I spend my work day interacting with other people, so I think of lunch as a time to get away, relax, think, and strategize. When a coworker wants to have lunch with me, I have to wonder why they want me to spend my free time with them, seeing as how I’m already spending 40 hours a week with them. And I find it rude for someone to just declare that they’re going to have lunch with me twice a week, as one person did.
You see, a great deal of people disagree with you.
"Extroverts get to play the ‘bad boy’ to attract women. Introverts get to play the ‘mystery man’, the cool James Bond who’s not going to be a boring push over."
"1. They think first, talk later
2. They focus on depth
3. They exude calm
4. They let their fingers do the talking
5. They embrace solitude"
That was about introverts...James works alone, and seems to have the other characteristics as well.
While looking for results on James being an extrovert, I found one thing, as opposed to the several others. A newspaper article.
""He's clearly disagreeable, very extroverted and likes trying new things – killing people, new women," he said. "
That was a quote by some guy from New Mexico State U.
I don't remember Bond ever liking to kill people...but the women part sounds right.
The scales are obviously one sided, but you keep on ignoring them...
You'd make a great tobacco lobbyist...holding on to scant bits of information to take down proven science, opinion, and common knowledge. Sounds like what you're trying to do right now.
