What is your idea of feisty?? Apparently, redheads are supposed to be feisty? But exactly constitutes feisty to someone? Is feisty totally bed related?? In my scenario, I'm wondering about the guys, when a guy says he likes someone feisty...and I know every guy is different, but just looking for perspective. Thanks

I think they're referring to keeping them on their toes...be that in or out of the bedroom...which is great as long as it doesn't cross over into stupid drama just for drama's sake.

Feisty can be good, but it can get draining after a while.

I agree with Lizzie that feisty to me means keeping me on my toes. I had one date do that to me. It was amazing. Unfortunately, it also took its toll. This kind of relationship for me, burns real hot, and ends suddenly.

Yeah, drama just for the sake of drama....exhausting. In essence, feisty = challenge. I'm sorry but I find that tiring after awhile. I would read that as some guy who likes the chase....which usually ends with him dumping you when he catches you.

Actually, it had nothing to do with drama. She was just an intense person who kept me on my toes. Its kind of like being in those haunted house attractions where you don't know what's going to jump out at you. She would be like that. I would never know what is going on. I think she also thrived on that interaction because she too wanted to be on her toes.

There wasn't any negative connotation to it. It was just dealing with one event after another of our own making. Whether it was defending against a view, or tossing something back to her for her, it was an intense game. There never seemed to be an plateau or resting stage.

Interesting! And he HAS used that phrase before: "tryin to keep me on my toes, huh?" Also said something about me being a tease to which I apologized and he said, "no, a tease is a good thing, I like a tease!" I don't know, per him, he likes feisty!

To me feisty means that you're willing to fight for what you believe in.

There's a fine line to be crossed here though. How much "fight" is too much? This can turn into drama after a while.

I have been dubbed fiesty, as well as 'a handful'. But those have all been first and/or new impressions, so I think it is more external actions. I am actually a very calm, balanced person, very joyous and peaceful, zero temper or anger issues, and all of my drama is onstage. I prefer to think I challenge but am not challenging.

There is a sort of boring predictable routine that many new daters want to get away from. That is the thrill of an affair, any new and different event etc.

However as others have mentioned, this is not roller coaster drama of constantly unreliable unpredictable behavior.

"Keep him on his toes" may reference someone who is interesting, active rather than passive and boring as well as bring out the best in someone.

He may want the thrill (adrenaline) which will be short lived, or he may not want the dull boring routine that a previous relationship may have been.

As long as feisty doesn't mean textbook argumentative, I'm good with it.
