Would you rather have an opinionated partner (has well established opinions) OR a partner who's opinions are malleable (can be influenced or changed)?

Drooogie4 · Answer

Opinionated.  I like someone who knows what they believe and aren't weak and change to please everyone.  That being said, being opinionated and an asshole are different.

arealgirl100 · Answer

My boyfriend conforms to my opinions, and it works bc my faith and morals come first in my life. In general, it is almost always better to be with someone who holds firm beliefs.

CandyCaneZoe · Answer

Doesn't matter to me. As long as they are smart and can articulate whatever they are trying to say, and it needs to at least make sense. Too many people have strong opinions about stuff they know little or nothing about.

Comawhite666 · Answer

Respect other opinions politley but strong willed that he won't change who he is for me. I'm very headstrong and can be quite opinionated but don't preach all the time.

findingdreamland-1 · Answer

I love when people have strong ideas. But i do not like when they are too stubborn. When they are open logically , we can discuss and manage to share ideas. Strong ideas with open-minded is the best.

_____dj · Answer

When I was 4, I played with legos all day. I’m no longer of the opinion it’s the best use of my time. But it was the right idea at the time

BS123456 · Answer

Neither, I'd rather have a good conversation with a woman who has world knowledge and understands what she's saying.

howlyz · Answer

A partner with well established opinions who is open to new ideas and aware that not everything is written in stone and that is good to have a flexible mind, but of course a moral person

CaffeinatedCactus · Answer

If I had to choose, I would say B. But there has to be a balance. If you believe in something you need to strong enough to stand by it. But also open to other opinions, we are always learning!

beast25179 · Answer

Idada · Answer

Both is okay for me provided either doesn't dominate. And the changeable opinions occur after validation.

shenholds09 · Answer

I set a partner that can change their opinions because.. I'm set in my ways and will never change my own opinions

Obfuscate · Answer

i like a mix of both... solid opinions on things that are important, but an open mind to new experiences and new evidence...

Torex · Answer

I want someone who has strong beliefs, but will try to become the best her that she could be. And that'd include being able to learn when a belief is wrong and change it to something that is better.

Tomblebee · Answer

Preferably open to discussion and not altogether unmoving when presented with a valid argument. I bit of stuborness is cute tho.

Why not both? You can feel really strongly about something without being stubborn and ignorant to anything that might change your mind.

Moonchild714 · Answer

I love a man with strong opinions but with an open mind to hear opposing views and willing to admit he may be wrong.

JohnFrost · Answer

I'm not sure what fits I would want someone to have strong opinions but be open to arguments. I love a good discussion so I don't want that they become a yes sayer but stubborn to a fault is no fun either.

EmotionalThinker · Answer

I am a strong opinionated person but it doesn't mean I don't listen to others, I just avoid those who don't have guts to say what they want to say

I mostly surrounded by opinionated people and can't survive with a doubtful girl

RedThread · Answer

I think everyone's opinions should be malleable and in a constant state of flux. We learn new things every day that can alter our opinions on things. I'd rather someone be open to change.

taleswapper · Answer

Someone who's opinion can't be changed is as bad as someone who dithers. I like someone with strong opinions that can alter in the face of contrary data.

claw09 · Answer

Everyone should be open to follow where evidence leads them, and in order to do that, you have to be willing to change your opinions. There's nothing benign or honorable about being stubborn.

Adam_INTJ · Answer

I don't like the "well, I don't know" people. Like, if you don't stand for anything, I can't fall for you. Have opinions that are based in fact, especially political ones

fay23 · Answer

Depends on what the topic is? I think in both options it's not good to be extreme. I'd rather they'd be open minded and willing to learn while also not easily swayed.

AxlStahlmann · Answer

Definitely someone who knows what they stand for, but open minded to others opinions while not being a pushover. They'll look into facts if new "evidence" with decent credibility is provided.

Aynsof · Answer

I would prefer one who can and will change opinion when presented with reasons to warrant it I would not prefer one who would just change opinion to suit mine

I want a partner with well-reasoned opinions that could change if new evidence is presented.

13name13 · Answer

AD240pCharlie · Answer

If logical arguments and concrete evidence or back-up can't make you change your mind, then you're simply stupid and close-minded.

A balance of both. I dont want to be with someone who thinks they are very smart or who is always changing their minds and calling themselves dumb.

Opinionated, but that can be a negative thing, if they are so stubborn about something, and won't change their views at all costs, even if they are totally wrong about something.

I want someone who is like water. I mean he should have his own opinions but at the same time should be flexible enough to change them when he can see that there is a flaw in it.

You have to be a hybrid because if you’re so steadfast in what you believe without being willing to learn and correct a possible mistake, then you’re just a programmed robot

Changeable, because it means he is more adaptable when new revelations come out.

TrueAGL27 · Answer

Most people either have the wrong opinion about a controversial issue, or they have the right one but for wrong or ill-informed reasons. I prefer a woman with strong views certainly, but not ones oblivious and incapable of change.

Celtero · Answer

Doesn't matter as long as they can logically back up their opinions either way.

Claire136 · Answer

So we could have something to talk about (or ague about) and not have a bland relationship.

Well established opinions but intelligent enough to listen to other people’s opinions and change his if he realizes someone else’s opinion is better.
