I'm in my mid-20's. I have a lot going for me. I am highly sensitive, understanding, a good listener, and nice as long as I am treated with respect. I have a very decent, high-paying job with benefits. I have a ton of money saved up. I have a nice car. I work out a lot and have a nice athletic figure. I've always been a pretty quiet and shy person unless I am around certain types of people. Those situations are rare but when it happens I'm a lot more outgoing and talkative. For the most part my tendency and habit is to just be very quiet around people and seek to be the opposite of the center of attention in any social situation. I rarely attend social events at work and when I do it's just always so awkward for me.
From my observations on here, it seems like there are women who are actually genuinely attracted to the shy/quiet types. Let's say you see a good looking guy with everything I mentioned above but he appears to be shy/awkward or just really quiet. Do you ever crush on these types? I used to think that no women would be attracted to that but it seems like some out there actually are. Is this true? Why are you attracted? How do I know you are crushing on me? I'm just curious more than anything.
Where have you been all my life!!?? I'm looking for the shy sensitive type!!
But in all seriousness, it might be hard to tell with me because I tend to be shy too! I usually blush and smile and try to hang around the guy I like a lot. But not in a stalkerish way.
We sort of sound alike. I'm also more of a "homebody" person and very individualized as in I prefer doing things by myself or with a couple of close people. But I'm caring, I listen to people and I'm respectful of others.
Well for example, I just observe that this one woman at work is very nice and sweet to me while she isn't at all with other people, especially the "jocks" in the office. I don't interpret it to mean that she is interested in dating, just that she has a natural tendency to like the shy/quiet types more. Does that make sense?
You would fit best in the Scandinavian culture. The Swedish for example can come off as very shy. Here in our culture it is unfortunate sometimes for guys like yourself. Many American women can come off as cold are hard to approach. In this society women seem to want a man who is both adventurous, yet secure. Emotional, yet tough. These are contradicting attitudes. I have many friends like you, girls are very attracted to them, but in the end, after claiming to want an emotional man, they end up leaving them just for that reason. You probably didn't want a guy putting in his two cents but I am pretty bored....

Hey I understand I've heard it all. Trust me. I've gone the "jerk" route before earlier in my life and got a few women that way but in the end they were able to see through my act at the time. I'm just curious to know about the women out there who are genuinely attracted to these types of men. That's all. I was watching Ghostbusters 2 and loved that scene where the Ghostbusters office receptionist girl hits on the shy guy who helps her babysit. It's like the perfect dream for a guy like that.
girls want a strong tough guy who is popular with the ladies who turns out to be a sensitive softie who is loyal to them. Its not contradictory, just unlikely. You can be strong and sensitive at the same time.
If ur shy and quiet your better off finding a girl like that. However its difficult as both of you are unlikely to put urselves out there. so maybe looking online for shy women would be better.

Pretty much.
