Pragmatic means "matter of fact." A pragmatic person is one who is sensible and practical. He believes in coming straight to the point in matters of discussion and has a no-nonsense attitude. A pragmatic attitude delves between the twin pillars of realism and practicality. A pragmatic person believes that "experience is the best teacher."
The word is an adjective form of pragmatism and is believed to have entered popular English literature in the latter part of the 16th century. Pragmatism was a philosophy developed by Charles S. Peirce and William James advocating the doctrine that the significance of an idea or a proposition lies in its observable practical outcome. The archaic meaning of the word "pragmatic" was "busy," or "dogmatic or dictatorial."

Do you think that a male and a female being polar opposites of this def. Can get along. Or would be always arguing the different points of view? One being "pragmatic and the other dealing more in ideas and theories? A point of view would be appreciated. Thanks
