    Every situation is different I guess. My dh is as opinionated and stubborn as I am. LOL! We lock antlers all the time. It seems to work out, though.

    my husband has finally understood that i do not ever argue unless i am verifiably correct. a lot of times people think i'm just full of shit, until they get to know me. i don't argue when i don't know. i'm okay with saying "i have no idea." but i'm not a bull about it or anything. i can go with the flow (i guess that's actively passive) and enjoy myself. but i can also put my foot down when i need to.

    Strong, intelligent, self confident men and women will have a problem with "opinionated" "people" who ever they are, but still that is not what you are trying to say here.

    This question can be paraphrased into another question: What sort of a woman is a man looking for?

    A man's attraction has nothing to do with a woman's opinions. It is about triggering the mechanisms that function as the modes of attraction. Still, if a woman is bereft of any opinions and tries to be 'dumb', it does not leave a good impression on anyone, even wienies.

    As soon as a female is labeled “opinionated”, that concept gets misconstrued and then she will automatically be deplored a “bitch.” I think that a vast majority of people hear the word “opinionated” and consume it as an awful connotation. The matter of the fact is, most men get the word opinionated twisted with the word domineering. Both are exact opposites, you just have to watch out for the domineering ones, not the opinionated…

    Hmm definantly not passive, but not overly opinionated either ya know? Maybe just someone thats like normal... like was said before, opinionated has kind of a bad connotation. Everyone has opinions, so passive would just be like not expressing ones opinions, which makes opinionated seem kind of forcefuly expressing their opinions or something... so yeah neither, just normal. Oh hell i don't know wtf i'm talking about, whatever... :rolleyes:
