		<title>Comment on Predicting Identity: Extroversion and Introversion &#8211; Part 2 by Marcus Brown</title>

		<description>There are just as many introverts as extroverts. While I&#039;m inclined to believe that statistic isn&#039;t entirely correct, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s that far off the mark.

Introversion/extroversion is a spectrum, and if you put down a line in the middle, I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll find a significant part of the population on the more introverted end of the spectrum. We don&#039;t notice because of selection bias: the loudest are most easily heard, tautologically, and so we notice those whom we&#039;d be expected to notice (those making themselves heard, i.e., extroverts) while those we don&#039;t notice are those we wouldn&#039;t expect to notice (the quiet ones).

You&#039;re right that the normative behavior, the behavior that is expected and promoted by society, is extroverted behavior. But I wouldn&#039;t concede that introversion is odd. That would be like saying homosexuality is odd. Homosexuality isn&#039;t odd, not even technically odd. It&#039;s not unusual. In this day and age, it&#039;s odd to regard it as odd. I&#039;m sure there are as many, if not more introverts than there are homosexuals, and I don&#039;t think we should regard either as unusual, odd, strange, weird, non-normal, etc.

I understand that you can use the word odd in the way it would be odd to meet a guy who could shoot milk out of his eyes or benchpress 300 kg: as something not necessarily wrong or creepy, but certainly out of the ordinary.

And I don&#039;t really see introversion as anything unusual.</description>

		<description>Ask her where she would like to go!  I agree, snnidpeg too much or going over the top isn&#039;t good.  How about a visit somewhere or a walk somewhere beautiful followed by an inexpensive lunch?  Doesn&#039;t have to be in the evening.  Have fun!</description>
