Quiet vs. Shy

I know it's so stereotypical. But perhaps alot of guys are going to like girls who come off as weak in some way. That way they can 'protect' them. So a shy or quiet girl comes off to them as weak subconsciously and a guy becomes attracted to that.

But in a women's case they might tend to favor strong or confident males. So a male who is shy or weak wont look very attractive at all. If they want a male who can take care of them a shy or quiet guy isn't going to work. Even if he could they're going to pass him up because he just doesn't look like he has any confidence. Though, I guess the quiet guy would have more of a chance. He may show off some confidence at times and would offer the appeal of a chase.. which some people enjoy. ;|

Ofcourse there are exceptions to this. Not everyone is the same. I know I'm probably wrong anyways. These are all just assumptions.

I would be interested in seeing the ratio of girls to guys who like quiet/shy partners though. I have the feeling more men are going to like the shy or quiet partner.

Believe me, I am quiet and about as confident as anyone could possibly get.
I don't see why an "outgoing" guy would be able to take care of a woman any better than a quiet guy, I see it as the exact opposite.

Loud guys usually strike me as small and trying to compensate for something, and your loud personality definitely isn't going to do crap for you when in a position where you have to protect someone on you own...
I, on the other hand, am 6'2", quiet, 100% assured of myself, not afraid of anyone or anything, and very eager to rise up to a challenge issued by anyone. (I don't care if it's a Mike Tyson lookalike or not)

And it's not just me, I feel the vast majority of big, strong, confident guys out there are the ones who don't feel they have to prove anything to anyone by being loud.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
