Would you feel comfortable dating someone who seriously believed they were right about everything and felt they held all the knowledge of the world? And even felt the need to correct you every single time he/she felt you were spitting an incorrect piece of information? Any thoughts...
...'Hell no'....reminds to much of my Ex partners.....

Here are my thoughts.
I do not call a person who can teach me something, ' know it all'
I listen, talk and listen, if I have a problem, I will talk to my partner, he listens and he will give me opinion, I may not always like it, but I asked him.
Being with a person, who corrects you, is not always a bad thing and I do not take it that way, if he thinks I am not behaving in a way that is not acceptable then he will tell me, but it does not mean that he does not love me. Same with me. I will tell him. I look to him for reassurance and support, he is my partner, he looks to me for it.
So, your question I cannot answer, because I do not see people as know it alls.

My sister used to do that all the time. She wasn't even right. I finally started going off on her every time she did it until she stopped. Now she works in a tiny department at work and they hate her because she does that to them. I think its pointless to date someone who does that.

Hmmmmmm.....In my humble opinion,there is a big difference in 'Teach' and a 'A Know it all'...I will try and put this way. When a person 'teach' its done with respect and humbleness....'A know it all' is usually done in a 'put down manner' and many times also in a 'I am an upstart, and I am better then you'.....comments most welcome......
You shouldn't continue to date anyone that makes you feel inferior. The constant correction on thier part will only prompt you to raise your defenses and you'll never be happy with that person becuase of it.
Life is too short to waste time with someone that doesn't make you happy.

No kidding...it's completely different when people point out things that are actually wrong.....I have no problem with that...It's when people are telling you you're wrong when they are...OR telling you your opinion is wrong and theirs is the only way...or right wayyyyyyy....they have no respect at all for anything you might have to say...if they in fact even bother to listen....
