Argumentative is NOT debating... Argumentative is intentionally being obstructive.... and opposing in every aspect, and usually declines into intentional demeaning behaviours....there is little respect with an argumentative type person...it is an ego feed... and an elevated sense of superiority. Debating is where the respect is constant, and the ideas are opposing.... it is very different. A person can be described as being argumentative by some group of people, while another group of people can say otherwise by saying that the person love to debate. Now, to find out which side have the correct word to describe the person is really the fundamental question here. I like to argue in debates. I like to debate by arguing my points. I also like to blur the meaning of both of the words, because I believe that there isn't a concrete rule to say how it is to be defined. It is how it is used in the game of language.

And where might the respect for the other person's veiwpoint be? You argue,debate, and blur lines to create a sense of false superiority....which speaks volumes of where your self esteem really sits.

Kinda strange that you think I am boastful about my superior debating style. Sh!t... I mean my argumentativeness!

The question is that if you are on a date with someone, and that person gave you the impression that he or she is very argumentative, would you go on further to continue to date that person? I dont like to argue nor do I like to be unequal in a relationship where they are always telling me what to do, or their opinion is always right. I wanna be right sometimes!!!

Just because tells you the truth, that you are not nearly as good looking as you thing you are doesn't make her a bad person. What's with your pic? LMAO You look like Jon Stewart on E. Too F'n funny. I love to laugh at guys posting what they think is a flattering pic. It just doesn't work wannabe.

its one thing to disagree, and its another to debate over an issue that needs to be dealt with..but for sure its not worth to argue over petty bs thats not going to make your relationship better...

To me that causes people to argue as well.

I like to do other things too. but it bugs me to talk to someone who is always trying to score some kind of a point But the whole purpose in debating is to argue your point about whatever your goal is to reach out across the other person for they to understand your position. Some people have to argue forever because it is the case that other people seem to have quite many bozone layers surrounding them.
