Agressive lot of tactics in the openings is just hopeless. A lower rated's "agressive" is not agressive against a higher rated opponent lol
Actually that's not really true, higher rated people are higher rated because they play better chess. However, it is much easier for the higher rated player to have a tactical oversight than a positional oversight.

Yeah. Just check out my last game. My opponent was 500+ rating above me, yet he made tactical oversights. My last few games were against opponents much higher rated than mine.

it was 10 minute (more than enough time). You don't get to 2000 blitz by hanging pieces on move 3 all the time.

that's not true. By aggressive you don't sacrifice pieces randomly and lose the game. You want to play more complicated openings, and try to attack your opponent. The best defense is attack. Therefore, playing solidly is inferior to playing aggressively. As a higher rated player myself, I'll let you know that playing a rook endgame up a pawn is a piece of cake compared to playing a crazy middlegame position, even if I'm up a piece.

You are out of context!
The question was asked by a 1500 player at best(he has 820 at daily) against a title player.
Honestly you should play your style. There is nothing better than to stick in your comfort zone, you shouldn't be agressive if you can't play agressive well. You shouldn't play Solid if you can't play solid well.
Play from your specific style and then improve upon it, if you do this then you will be stronger and won't have to worry about being overly agressive or overly solid(translation defensive), just play your game and play your style!

I play solid ( i think deeply on each move) to win and I play very agressive (i take some risk) when i feel the opponent is weak....
Solid doesn't mean not agressive at all,it mean no move by reflex every move is deeply thought!
So no silly blitz game for me unless they are 10+8 on another site...here 10+8 is a rapid.

Except I’m talking about 2200+ titled players
Same can be applied.
For example, in a "boring and drawish" opening with structural symmetry, the higher rated player (if really stronger) will probably create imbalances for opportunities to employ greater mating threats in the middle game with expectations to outplay you if an engame is reached.
Not always happens this way, but it can and does...sometimes.

You have to give them a chance to miss tactics. If you don't create complications, you just get outplayed positionally.
