Would you date an opinionated of feisty person

Are we defining opinionated as someone who won't take no for an answer, someone whose first goal in life is to prove that they're right before they question if they could be wrong?

Or are we defining it as someone who holds opinions, but has some level of reason and is merely strong in backing their convictions up?

I voted assuming the latter. Not having convictions strikes me as one of two things; either you have very lazy, popular opinions derived from what you've been told and you have a ridiculous "politics/anything-pertaining-to-anything-besides-the-weather-is-impolite" attitude, or you are so meek you change your opinions every time someone speaks to you. The first one would be infuriating; that smug, assumed knowledge which isn't expressed is even worse than open ignorance. The second is just pathetic. I would hate to have someone agreeing with me too much, or even worse, unreasonably having doubts every time a new opinion is given.

As long as they stop when they need to. For example, I know nothing about biology. I can't do anything more than point out logical flaws if someone's expressing their opinions about biology, and only when it leaks into something I do know like sociology/history. Having strong or even properly formed opinions outside of your sphere of knowledge isn't good moral conviction, it's arrogance.

In short, definitely yes. But there are limits to everything.
