Someone who has their own values and beliefs is always something I admire. But I appreciate one who isn't closed minded and is able to humble themself in learning new view points, as well as immerse themselves in learning from diffrent people and sources.
i voted for B because if a person has a well-established opinion and thinks he's doing something right when he's not, then he needs to change and correct what he's doing wrong and not be an idiot by still trying to prove that his mistake is correct even when evidence proves him to be wrong. it's like trying to convince flat-earthers that the earth is round. but they still think that earth is flat and think of new lame and stupid reasons, no matter how much proof you show them lols.
I would rather have someone who hasn't heard about an issue yet, because I love being a teacher. I'm confident I can explain the various sides of an issue at least basically, and I would wait for her to ask my opinion so she has a chance to form her own before we discuss it.
That's how it usually went in my last relationship anyway
It's only healthy to change your opinions on things if you learn something new. But the ground thinking is something that should be consistent. It is unattractive and shows a lack of intelligence if someone fully changes their way of thinking just because of a trend or a person.
Need a partner who is a bit of both. He should be firm about his opinions on things he knows, i. e. if he is a doctor he should be sure of a diagnosis of an illness, it would be very odd of he was unsure, it would mean he is not very good at his job and leans on others too much, but he ought to be unsure of himself with other things and not too full of himself about how wonderful he is.
I mean its good to have opinions not to ask someone about something and they go "idk", but i like someone who is open minded like someone who has an opinion on something but is not strongly opinionated that they try to squeeze into you what they beleive is true.
I think you should have rather asked you question in a way either strongly opinionated or open minded
I think that everyone should have their own set of standards for their life. However I also think that evolving as a person and learning how to be malleable is very important as well. The think about being in a relationship is that people should be able to empathize with and understand each other. To be able to do so I think that we need to be a little bit malleable in our view of the world.
I chose other. I want my partner to know what their opinions are but I also want them to be able to change their views. This is because if my partner had an opinion that I or she couldn't live with, then I would want to be able to try and change her mind.
Everyone has something they believe in, however I'd appreciate a truly mature person who can either agree to disagree and are indifferent to the majority or even my beliefs or someone who ultimately is able to change or see it the way others might, so long as you're a decent person, no one really cares however the way society works is if you believe the wrong thing, you're not a good person or are a snake in the grass for some reason.
Everyone respects someine decisive who isn't easily influenced. However if that person is argumentative, doesn't let stuff go, has to be right, no one is going to put up with that. I'm not going to be OK with someone who feels the need to hassle. That's a sign of weakness on their part.
Ideally, I'd like a girl who had solid opinions of her own prior to meeting me, but also just happened to agree with me on most things that are important.
I suppose the second best thing would be a girl whose opinions could be influenced by me. Although there's something I find distasteful about girls who can't think for themselves, it would still be better than an opinionated girl who disagreed with me on everything.
Not sure. My partner has well established opinions and mine can be changed. I think I wanna be with someone flexible who is open to new ideas and viewpoints, doesn't only insist on their own viewpoint. I'm all for being open minded and thinking out of the box.
I would like my partner to have an opinion on any topic but one that is researched and backed up well. I still want him to be open to listening to other people's opinions and to try and see where they're coming from. Maybe later go and reconsider their opinions on some topics. But only after he gave it dome time and thinks his own opinion over well.
I'd rather they know what they stand for and believe in. That shown a strong will and developed person at least.
Although if there was a key disagreement between us. And there was 0 chance of changing her views. I would prefer not date her just cause of that. I mean if it's significant enough.
Well opinionated, provided the opinions are built on facts and are authentic and not just a put up to seem knowledgeable or are copied from other people in this world.
Also with a chilled attitude if my opinions differ from him
Hopefully we can learn from each other and understand the various possibilities before forming an opinion.
Date a liberal or conservative? ok lol
I go for the liberal then since it's easier to mess with her thoughts.
The conservative one is harder than the liberal. But still easy.
-conservative, but liberal lol
Lol. 😂😂😂😂
I don’t like people who aren’t open to excepting new ideas or seeing others points of view, but I don’t want them to be super susceptible to anyone being able to change their mind on literally anything, because that’s what children are. Super impressionable.
It's all about open-mindedness. It's amazing when a person has the heart and mind to consider different things that they might not specially relate to.
True
I’d say a bit of both are good. You don’t want someone who’s easily influenced by everything but you also don’t want someone who’s stubborn.
It’s important to be able to listen to others opinions and understand the reasoning behind it, doesn’t mean you have to agree with it tho.
I rather have a combination. Besides, if I could sway her opinions easily then she is not the person I was initially attracted to.
But I only want her to change her opinion because it is logical and she came to the conclusion... not because I want her to.
