This or That: Boring or Arrogant?

Your friend begs you to come on a double date as her wingman with a guy she’s crushing on. You hesitantly agree, seeing as how you know nothing about the friend her date is bringing. When they meet you guys at the restaurant, you’re pleasantly surprised — the friend is a total looker — but then he speaks. Would it be worse if the guys is . . . This: A total bore — his voice just drones on relentlessly? He’s nice as can be, but you’ve never been so bored talking to someone.

Or . . .

That: Completely arrogant and overly opinionated? You spend the entire night arguing with him about politics and relationships.

    I can't stand arrogance, in any way, shape, or form. If the guy is nice, I'll be polite and listen. Dinner will end at some point right? But an arrogant jerk will always make my blood boil and I'd rather be naked, covered in honey, and sat down on a fire ant hill than spend one moment with one!

    I do not like arrogance at all, but if they were so boring I couldn't hold my eyes open why on earth would I stay. At the very least if I can get into a real discussion with the arrogant one, I may hate them but at least it's better than blowing bubbles in my soup.

    I'm in the minority -- I prefer arrogance. I find arrogant people laughable and entertaining. Of course, I wouldn't take anything he says seriously. I will take it for entertainment value. So I choose a cocky bastard. Smiling

    Cockiness isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it's certainly amusing. I hate feeling like I have to provide all the entertainment in a social situation.

    I prefer the boring guy. Arrogance and arguing about politics is on a date is fine by me. Arguing about relationships with me...that's a big no. I'd rather take boring. He won't give me high blood pressure.

    I would prefer the arrogant one. I have dealt with quite a few in my time and sometimes it's fun to bring them down a level or two. Boring just doesn't work well for me.

    I'd rather be entertained by someone's arrogance. If I know I'm not intersted in this guy then why not atleast leave with a few stories to have? I hate boring people and an ex boyfriend of my best friend who also became a friend of mine was one of the most boringest people and I could never talk to him longer than a second. It felt like every conversation we ever had was just small talk. I hate that. So, Arrogance over Boringness, any day.

    I don't mind debating about politics at all. Sure, he's an arrogant jackass. But as long as I get free food, its all good, ya'll.

    I am also in the minority- Id rather get the arrogant guy than the boring one. Arguing over politics is fun for me.

    Either way I wouldn't be interested in the person. So I would rather debate with him than sit there bored all night!

    well, it'd be more interesting to argue with the guy than sit there bored to tears. It's not like I have to go home with him.

    I can handle an arrogant guy (at least, tolerate him for a few hours) but with a boring one, I'd just spend most of the night fighting my yawns. =\

    If this is only for one night I'd much rather be entertained than bored no matter what. He might be cocky but I think I'd have a better time and I'd just laugh at him and argue right back. It could be a fun night since I love to argue hehe.
