Angry/short tempered guys

What do you ladies and guys think of short tempered guys who seem to go off like a ticking time bomb?

You see them on our roads most notably driving excessive speeds and honking like a raving maniac and you see them having a go at cashiers for getting their order wrong, etc.

From what I'm getting from these forums from you ladies is that you like these kinds of guys because they can stand up for themselves and act all tough like they don't take no faeces from anybody. Is that true or am I misinterpreting?

lol they're not completely different concepts at all. They are both used in each others definitions and synonyms of each other. Maybe you should look them up before you just say whatever sounds good.

Anyway you said we should be assertive, but not aggressive. I'm wonder how one would go about that.

IMHO, assertive is standing up for one's rights, while aggressive is trampling over someone else's rights.

NRSV is right about assertive and aggressive. There is a difference in the two words.

I dated a guy once who would go off like a time bomb, once in awhile and that is no fun!! I would never date a guy like that again.

That is as good of a functional definition as we'll probably get I suppose.

The way I see it: An assertive person is someone who asks you do do something and explains why and an aggressive person just demands that you do it.
