For a realist, the glass is neither half full nor half empty, it merely has approximately half of it's space, presumably allotted for liquid content, used.

A person who believes in facts to determine truth. Either deeply Objective or extremely Subjective.
Often used to describe people who'se political views hold no right/left-wing loyalty and instead use objective information in order to determine their stances on issues.
Also a term used to describe Atheists and Agnostics incorrectly. Realists are often Atheists and/or Agnostics because Theism goes against their nature to believe only facts and instead rely on faith.
Realists suffer from trust/confidence issues and are often apathetic because they uaually refuse to act without knowing the reprocussions beforehand. Realist's don't normally react well to society because of their refusal to fall under social categories and because their lack of trust in others often forms ego problems.

Non-Realist: "The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were our only hope to defeating Japan."
Realist: "According to General MacArthur, General Eisenhower, General Spaatz, Fleet Admiral Nimitz, and many other extremely high ranking US officials in charge of the pacific at the time both bombs were extremely unnecessary as Japan would have surrendered regardless. Actually the bombs played little effect as the Russians taking Manchuria is what ultimately made Japan surrender. The Atomic bombs were really nothing more than a giant war crime that Truman got away with."

realist someone who tries to see things as they are not as he would like them to be. a realist knows that a thing may be logical or necessary but still not right. a realist sees that all things have a cost the question is who pays,when,and how much.
an optiomus sees the glass half full the pessiomus sees the glass half empty the realist wants to know what is in the glass. the eeyores who know the fall rains are needed but they still make you cold and wet.realist know that many a

Lloyd is a realist. Mr. Luke, or maybe Dr. EXIT, has brainwashed him. Alas, it is so pathetically sad that you can believe everything a guy with nose hair on the top of his nose says. I mean, come on, Lloyd, he didn't even know the right amount for STP.

Realists have a firm grip on reality and can see things for what they are, not what they are told they are. Realists have their own views and do not fall victim to propaganda, misconception, or titles!
1. There is the Pessimist who believes the glass is half empty!
2. There is the Optimist who believes the glass is half full!
3. Then there is the Realist who knows it is just half a fucking glass!
