Well, people who are ALWAYS optimistic are often disingenuous. There's no possible way that a person can just genuinely feel enthused about life 100% of the time. I would define myself as being optimistic, but I'm not literally all the time. Sometimes I feel like shit and don't have much hope for the future. Why? Because I'm a human being. I push past and overcome those negative thoughts, but I still recognize the existence of them. So if somebody was always optimistic, they would come off as fake to me, and that would make me uncomfortable to be around them. I like being around genuine people. Not people who are putting on an act.
No, because those kinds of people don't prepare for when bad things happen and then whine for the pessimistic people to help them.
And it really does annoy me being around those kinds of people too much in real life.
I had a supervisor that was always optimistic before, and she would never listen to advice I gave her, and events she planned would almost always have something negative happen that would have been prevented if she had listened to my advice.
She continued to be optimistic and never listen to advice, until she was eventually fired too.
I try to be optimistic for most part I’m up beat except exception when I’m on my period.
Yes, but I think he would get tired or irritated of me because I'm the opposite.
sure I would... nothing wrong with it, they are great to have around

I would love to date someone like that unless they were unrealistically optimistic in certain situations. As long as their optimism didn’t blockade them from thinking clearly or in realistic terms especially in serious situations, then I think being with someone who is optimistic a lot of the time would be good.
Its good to be optimistic and realistic. It helps you to approach situations from the right angle always. You dont approach problems optimistically but realistically.
Yup.. Probably.. But sometimes if the guy is also optimistic... Magnetic principle may play some fun!
I wouldn't mind that but I would prefer someone who is normal and is level headed to understand that everything isn't sunshine and rainbows
I’m the optimist in my life. I believe my friends and family value that I can see the best in people and usually have a sunny outlook. 😁
No I think it's better then someone who always pessimistic, that gets old fast
No I won't. I am a pessimistic person. And I kinda find it too hard to believe. A little optimism is fine though.
It does come off a bit fake. Like they’re trying to cover up flaws or feelings. It might promote discontent with people around because that is one thing that prevents bonding with others.
I'm always optimistic so yeah I'd only date someone like that too
That’s literally the most attractive quality a person can have... I don’t get the reason for this...
Sure, makes for a nice contrast on someone like me who sees issues with everything.
I feel like I would have a better outlook on things if they were always positive too, so yes someone being an optimistic would not be a dealbreaker
I would date an optimist if she'd bring optimism to our relationship~
yes that would be great !! positivity always is great
Yeah, I think it's an admirable quality
Are you trying to get validation?
Yes. We would have the perfect balance.
yeah. i don't see why not.
Wouldn't that be preferable to a pessimist?
why would you deem optimism as a downside?
