Throw A Player A Twig But Give A Trunk To The Shy Guy. An Article On Shy Men For The Ladies

SHYMEN101. Pow.

I know the aggressive males are so appealing to a female, because it fits the media or propaganda projected image of what a man ought to be. You get one, and too often their brains are just full of jello. They're delicious, but not NUTRITIOUS. Too often we reach for the 99% fat ice cream when we have frozen yoghurt around us – healing us when our hearts get stomped on, hugging us when our tears become worthless.

Sometimes, who we end up with, isn't really the 'ideal' we thought was perfect for us :) ... sometimes, they're right next to you. All you need is COURAGE, and hopefully, this article is a good double dosage!

I'll tell you a little secret. Shy men, are GEMS.

Babe, if you like a shy guy, realise they're called shy for a reason. WEAR THE PANTS.

Behind that glass demeanor, the sweaty palms, is a witty, ROMANTIC and intelligent human being WAITING to be saved from LONELINESS. He is the guy that will love you for simply you, even if you're wearing track pants or have a steak sauce (A1) stain down your top. It is unconditional.

I can tell you this: If you're a SMOTHERER - they're a perfect match. They CRAVE affection. Shy men, won't vom or LEG IT at your overwhelming affection. They feed off it.

Help the poor fella out. They need more - FORWARD HINTS. Normally, a normal guy will notice a twig and bite, shy men NEED A TREE TRUNK worth to gain the same courage … to even touch you.

DO NOT THINK HE IS SETTLING FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING THE WORK. Heck, think, the only way he is ever going to get a girl is if he gets approached by one, and WHEN YOU DO SO, you're doing what he wants. Yes, you are vulnerable, and yes, under normal male circumstances - you're throwing yourself at him - but he ISN'T NORMAL (in a bloody good way). He finds your vulnerability AN APHRODISIAC.

YOU = SAUCY MINX. So, JUMP.

Now, they're a peculiar specimen. Let me explain.

NO GAMES. Shy men, the large portion of them, are inexperienced, 'nice guys'. They often are too scared to make a move in fear of rejection due to insecurities - which we see as appealing (as in a way, our flaws are what makes us 'perfect' and unique). Too often they end up rotting in the 'friendohmygashnosex' category - because they're afraid to take the TEENY step to push the relationship to the next level ... and because of their INDIFFERENT DEMEANOR, too often women (who, come on, are still pretty old fashioned and like to be asked out) see as a sign of DISINTEREST. This is absolute BULL.

Don't get me wrong, they're insecure but THEY ARE NOT WEAK. For some reason, we (ladies) forget that they ARE MEN. THEY HAVE THE DESIRES EVERY PRIMAL MALE HAS. URGES. CRAVINGS that need to be satisfied. Their hormones have been buzzing since a young age too. Imagine being in 'HEAT' and having your legs BOUND together ... they're literally CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGONS. Sex with a shy guy is the last thing you should be worried about.

They're wise, because they seek out strong (honey, you're stronger than you realise :)), beautiful, independent women, and he gets a kick out of knowing that he has your heart and you have his. Mutual support. A beautiful partnership.

They are often introverted, in the sense that they compete against themselves and beat their own personal bests. These are the men who will be stable enough to support you. Long term relationship material.

If the shy guy is REPLYING you (calls, text messages or even talking to you) HE. LIKES. YOU. Or he'd just swim away or disappear. The fact that he is communicating with you means that HE IS INTERESTED. They speak a lot with their EYES. So, whatever hunch you feel, it is ON THE SPOT. They DON’T play games. Black and white, simple and easy flowing partners to have.

We (ladies) need to realise that ROMANTIC love is TURBULENT, IMPERFECT, INCOMPLETE love (it is often limerence or the longing of an incomplete love). If happily ever afters weren't the end of fairytales - I bet you Cindy and Prince Charming wouldn't sound as flash. The TRUE LOVE - shy men can offer is PEACEFUL, TRANQUIL, FLOWING love, that is like a good WINE, only gets BETTER as it ages.

He will nurture you, as they are normally natural 'GIVERS'. Although, they may be reserved with showing affection, they may not be able to boast out loud how much they care, they'll show it through PASSIVE means (this requires listening to you and thought), being there when you need them, saying sensitive little comments to make sure he can see your beautiful smile, everyday.

Note - he isn't retarded. Don't treat him like one. Compliment with your HEART. BE YOURSELF. Because he'll love your inner freak (because he has one too - we all do) ... he is eager for your two secret worlds to blend into one. The intertwining of your imaginations will be truly beautiful.

It is worth it. So, PULL up your pants. Zip up that fly. And POUNCE. Like a cougar.

REOW.

    Your a smart woman. I'm not exactly shy. I open up after getting to know a girl. And I can be extremely outgoing and confident. But still many times shy, especially around a group of girls I don't know. Its know fair. I actually appreciate the women I talk to and respect them. And all these crazy, aggressive guys who are jerks and gonna hurt them get the girl. Then they get what they want and throw them out like an used toy like its nothing. I would never do that.

    Good article, but, please, stop with the "insecurities" talk. Every guy has a thousand insecurities the difference is shy guys believe in social caution. For instance, fat guys must have obvious insecurities, but they often are gregarious. Why? Because social caution was never an option for them. They realized early on that it sucks to put yourself out there and get rejected, but its even worse to isolate. Just some food for thought.

    Amazing article. Awesome insight. I used to be a shy guy, and I still try to keep the good aspects of that part of me despite my change of attitude.

    Again, incredible article. This should be a standard teaching. Your man is one lucky guy to have a woman who understands him. Best wishes.

    A great read and mostly true, but I think I really don't think I'll bother with a woman who has "had her fun being chased and having casual flings and now ready to settle down." Sure that means my options are even less, but oh well. Cause they aren't entirely unlikely to be with me, but it's going to be a lot of work on their end to prove to me they're worth it lol.

    Just saying from the comments and whatnot... you know the whole "for girls ready to settle down" or some sh*t. F***"settling"
  • Over a year ago
    I love this; I could have written it. I don't like aggressive men at all. I'm chasing a shy guy right now. While figuring him out requires a lot of subtlety (which is not my strong suit), he is not like any other man I've ever met. He appreciates my compliments more than he'll admit, but I so love giving them. He did say the other day in a roundabout way that he wants me to shower him with affection...sooo not a problem, darlin'. :)

    arlen21 - settle yet. yeh its not upfront but truth is women aren't all that great w insecurity because we can read the boastful mating call of a more aggressive male, the shy men, we're insecure about our interpretations about signals ... I reckon women really just need to trust our instinct a but more, and learn that it's okay to be vulnerable. and I agree w what you wrote - if only more men could admit that! xx

    ...i know its not easy for girls or guys to do these things but I think if we all stopped subscribing to all the media promoted way of dating as far as how perfect it has to be and all the pick-up artist ways of doing things; and just made an effort to get to know people as they are, and love them genuenely for it; I think we would all be much more happy and confident people! =) Again Amazing article itssimplekeepitreal, keep up the great work!

    ...tell a lot better if they do like you. Which to be honest I'm a very upfront and honest guy when I like a girl( you can tell if I do, cause I'm quite open and real with people) The thing that frustrates me the most is that there are few women that will be open and upfront with you enough for most shy guys, or guys like me who are not quite great at reading suitable signs of interest and then processing that to meaning I should get up do something about it soon. lol ...
  • Over a year ago
    ... I honestly would say I'm to an extent still a shy guy, but I've come a long way in being more confident in taking a risk and going for it! Most of the girls I've liked are your independant, outgoing types.(cheerleaders, dance team members in high school.) But I also like the quieter types of girls too because they don't play a lot of the "Mind Games" (that I hate with a passion) that some more outgoing girls do. Also the quieter girls are usually more geniune when they like you, and you can..
  • Over a year ago
    Very Good Article! =) I used to be very shy through middle school and part of high school. Then I became the really popular one that everyone knew at my high school. Then things kind of reset once I entered college. Through the whole time though I was quite shy and or hesitant to ask out girls I like. Once I do get to interacting with them I'm a lot better, but its that initial part of telling whether or not she's interested without her having to be really obvious that I'm trying to figure out.

    Haha, I'm actually not a shy guy. I was when I was young though, and it was bad :(. When I got older I got everything figured it out and I don't exactly have problems with girls hah ;).

    pandatoast131:haha cheers :) and I'm glad you found her. yeh well there are always exceptions. I think some shy men change because they get a big ego boost then think they cna get better. but yeh I agree, some girls aren't too nice either :( but nothing is perfect. when ya find the one you know.

    skeptical12: that is swaying ya branches what you did. I walked up to mine told him I like you and kissed him. and holy crap my heart was beating fast. but I'm the happiest woman I know. he isn't mixed signals, he's probably just reflecting back what you are doing. because even when you say that you have written him off, by typing this story shows that you are still thinking about him and probably subconsciously showing it too w ya body language :P so saw it down this time :) you won't regret it
  • Over a year ago
    snorkledorf: yeh :( definitely miscommunication on eth signals, thus I'm saying believe in what ya see, chicks pick up on body signals pretty well too, we just end up overanalysing to the point of madness and then give up. instead a simple 'i like you' would make two worry warts into one happy couple! why not?! xx

    lunchbox22: yeh, I'm with you. my man isn't extroverted, but he is my emotional pillar. so strong. he knew even before I told him that I was interested. and I agree that it is real love shy men want, because they don't see the point in wasting time on women who are just repeat offender versions of one night stands. shy men don't like to feel weak emotionally, but when you find her, she'll fill teh cracks where you need healing and you'll make each other stronger! thanks xx

    poseidon17: and shymen don't wait for women to fall on their lap, they give hints, it's just some women are just too scared to actually act on those subtle signals. thank you for ya input I appreciate it!

  • Over a year ago
    -0x0-: oath to that! mine are huge. and think a few chickybabes should sprout em.

    poseidon17: women are becoming more openminded to approaching. plus the ones that approach the shy guys are likely to be outgoing ones with soft kind hearts so it is a win win. if you wanna change yourself then go for gold, the thing is not to make yourself into another, be uncomfortable - and get a chick to fall in love with a version of yourself that isn't who you are on the inside. if you truly can then defs!

    house-MD: unless all women you've met are made out of rock or the insenstive wrong ones for you, people change - for the right person and when they want to only. when you meet a woman do you relaly show her your trueself or your detached self to avoid possibe heartbreak. part of a true bond, is being vulnerable. nice guys - I'm not asking them to have balls. I'm asking chicks to sprout some for a fairytale love we've dreamed about since we were little.

    miki94: you gotta be a man and just say 'i like you' feel the words when you say it. he sounds like he is just getting comfortable w you, he realized that ya a catch and a beautiful woman, likes you (cause come'on those are obvious flirting signals) just be a bit more forward. he is probably dreaming of holding hands w you. just before you go next time give him a LONGER hug (2-3 seconds longer) touch him more subtly :) and a kiss on the cheek is better than sex to em :) good luck. he is keen! xx

    realdeal: I've dated a lot of the media projected confident guys - they are all emotionall weak. shy men are all emotional mountains that we can lean on. so it's not wanting what you can't get. it is getting it & then realising that it's not as advertised. it's crap but sometimes it takes a jerk for a girl to realise. the nice guy was never a back up, but the one. the prince who saves the princess from the ogre. I trust you think the same.

    thank you for all the feedback :)

    merry Christmas all!

    realdeal: I appreciate your view. it is realistic. I'm describing shy guys as men who understand emotions, part of any health relationship is the want to put another in front of oneself. when you love someone, it goes both ways :) I asked females to be active & to notice these beautiful men, not to take advantage, but to offer their unconditional love to those who deserve it. p.s. - we don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.
  • Over a year ago
    Okay, I'm not a shy guy but I can agree with most that you wrote. Only thing is, you are basically saying that shy guys will please you before pleasing themselves. Females like the confident guys because it's the feeling of being able to attain the unattainable. So as much as a female would like to go for a nice guy, she still wants the "asshole". The nice guy is now the back up, that she runs the way she wants. So you just made her the female version of a confident "asshole" that they hate.
  • Over a year ago
    Wow. I've gotta say I'm taken back by this, because it comes from a girl. I know so many "nice guys" who are really good people but girls pay no attention to them and then complain when guys screw them over... If only all women thought like you. seriously

    Is this that guy?Tell me, I'll go crazy.
    He has trouble looking me in the eyes,he shows of in front of me, sometimes I even catch him looking my way when he thinks I don't notice, he also has trouble touching me when we are alone and I did so, he starts smiling and/or laughing when he does look me in the eye and looks away. I once offered my umbrella to share and he just smiled (blushed?) moved away and said the rain doesn't bother him. I indirectly told him I liked him, he just smiled brightly.

    Wow, I absolutely love you! I know I'm late because I read this just now lol. But yeah, you bascially described who I am in every aspect. Too bad the kind of girls who think like you do are very rare to find. As well as you have written this, still not many girls will take the initiative to make the first move (which is also because us shy guys are just too shy). Nonetheless, this was a great article.

  • Over a year ago
    While this may be true for many shy guys, very few women are willing to go this route. Most women like confident guys who are assertive and outgoing. I'm a shy guy as described in the article but I would rather work on becoming a confident, outgoing guy rather than to wait to meet a girl who likes shy guys. This article may hold true to a degree, and give hope to otherwise hard-luck cases, but I'd advise guys to work on their confidence instead of waiting for a girl to fall in their lap.

    I'm a shy guy..AND I'll tell ya, I know when girls are throwing hints,(its quit funny)... The thing about us is we want real relationships and not superficial hookups. But a one night stand here or there isn't bad either. Once a girl shows her vulnerable side I will gladly take the steering wheel and show her a good time if I'm interested in her. I like to be the person people lean on. Unfortunately I don't like to lean on others, therefor I am shy and don't go outta my way to meet others.
  • Over a year ago
    Yeah, to a shy guy (or maybe most guys?), hints are pretty opaque.

    Girl: "I made some obvious significant eye contact with him, but he never even followed up. He must not be interested."

    Guy: "She glanced at me for a moment, but then quickly looked away again. She must not be interested."

    A girl can look at a guy, smile at him, look away, look back, smile at him again, then pretty much stare him down...and the guy will still be convinced that he ultimately made the "first move."
  • Over a year ago
    Sceptical: That's the thing. You threw him hints. What she's saying here is to not play games about it and not be so subtle and outright approach the guy. A lot of us don't get hints.
  • Over a year ago
    While I think this is an article well written in a very tactful fashion... What if you took a saw and you cut down the tree and gave it to the shy guy? That's kind of what I did. I mean... I kind of threw him hints for about 1.5 years and he still didn't ask me out....? I mean by that time, I just wrote him off as not interested.. At the same time, he's giving mixed signals when I think he's done with me... besides it seems kind of pathetic to moon over a guy for such a long time.mind games

    As a shy guy, I too think this is 100% true, but I do want to add if a girl is persistent in talking to me, and I eventually warm up to her and we become friends, it doesn't always mean I like her. If she told me that she likes me but I didn't feel the same way about her, I'd gently let her know that, without any hard feelings, and I'd really hope we could still be friends and hang out. Losing a friend is one of the last things I would ever want to happen.

Also let it be known that shy guys don't last forever, and depending on how he thinks, he could turn out to be a great guy with a bit more confidence(like me lol) or lose all hope in girls and turn into an ass.

    cali - fab :) I'm happy for you! honestly, just be straight up - since you've known him for a while - do something cute, like a cd of all his fav songs. tell him in a creative way - cause I can tell you - 'i like you' will not scare him - he'd probably do a little happy dance in his head! mail me. x

    Best thing I have ever read!
    This honestly gave me the courage to tell him!
    I am not sure how though?
    He follows everything you have said.
    Do you know how I sould go about telling him without "scaring" him?
    Great article!

    This is the best article I've read on this site by far. If only most women knew these things.

    Oh man, I saw this and I had to read it. Its probably the best thing I've read today. me being somewhat of a shy guy, I had to comment on this. its true girls, if you talk to us and we talk back it means we're interested. You just have to give us that little nudge, or at least I usually need one lol. itssimplekeepitreal, you rock. probably because your from Australia, but still you rock for writing this.

    Hmm...i guess I should just wait and meditate and see what happens...haha
    but is hard to believe because in High School its hard to get over all that happened...
    alot of ones ideals get instilled then weather you want or not.
    girls from my end have alway looked over nice and shy guys...

    i had a horrible story based on this fact/myth fyth?

    so hearing this is like a mindfck...

    Great article! I'd like to point out: To cheat on a SHY MAN will turn him into an untrusting person.
    NEVER CHEAT ON ANYONE!!

    Clearly this article is written by a guy...NO GIRL EVER THINKS LIKE THIS. This IS IMPOSSIBLE. Do you realize how many chivalrous women will put a target on you?

    But my gosh...this is an article that I've been looking for...too bad girls like you are like 1 in a million.

    Crazy love - oh babe I'm in the same sitch. sometimes they need a little time to adjust.
  • Over a year ago
    Haha all this is awesome if the guy reciprocates when the girl finally finds the courage to tell him her feelings after all the clear signs he was giving out. he even said he didn't think I would be attracted to him but I totally am. I used to be the girl all about the challenge, now I just want commitment and stability. but oh well guess he got scared or something, who knows

    Meedo - agreed. not even identical twins are the same. we're all unique, there's no strict set of rules but there can be a broad understanding framework. there definitely are bad apples in every crate - but because shy men are inexperienced, tend to be easier to spot the bad ones :P gradual is great advice :D thanks!x
    drummer - thank you very much :)! x
    weapon - hah, well. guess we're on the same page now. guess I was on the stimulant all women get a kick out of before - emotions. cheers mate! x
  • Over a year ago
    Actually its funny you mention that because that was the whole point I was trying to get at in my long list of comments to your other article LOL. And that is that the stuff you said in your last article isn't applicable to men who are looking to settle down and want a woman for something serious, for the long haul. That it was, in fact, counterproductive if that was your goal.
  • Over a year ago
    ... this was awesome! LOL!

    she hit the nail on the head! great article and so entertaining too! :)
  • Over a year ago
    This article is very informative . I consider myself mildly shy. No article is going to 100% describe a category of men... but this article is balanced and good. It is for women who don't want a lot of adventure ( shy guys are adventurous too but not too much ) . But I would like to warn that among shy guys there are also creeps and jerks who are immature. So while you can certainly find really really great gems among shy guys.. you need , as in any other man , gradually risk. No sudden risk.

    Very true.
  • Over a year ago
    Cheers esahc88. yeh definitely :) think women should give em a rest and accept them. you're pretty much there when you're flirting so obviously, why can't we take it to the next level by a tad :) literally one little bit of courage away from true happiness. x
  • Over a year ago
    Amen, that is true. I am not a shy guy but I have friends that are and they need a lot of nudging to even approach a girl that is obviously flirting with them.

    Hockey. do it. I was petrified when I did it tbh, but he completes me. and your 5yearer there :) ... well, I think you know what you should do already :) you'll be sweet. no luck needed :) ! x
  • Over a year ago
    Wow! this totally describes a guy I've liked for a little over 5 years now... I guess according to this he probably likes me lol. I better find a way to tell him... Thanks!

    Weapon - it doesn't. it is dependent on what the lady wants. this is an article just about shy men. they're different to many other men. people who want shy men are looking for a relationship. people who want 'the chase' are looking for a challenge and the thrill of a short term :) I just decided to settle down :) but thank you. x
  • Over a year ago
    I can't help but think this totally contradicts your article from a few months ago. But I like it. I find it to be much closer to the truth than that one was.

    FOR SHY MEN: Honestly, shy men don't have to do much. Your eyes, you, are already mysterious. Just listen when we yabber and HUG US LIKE NO TOMORROW. She'll melt in no time. No joke. My best friend and I are both dating shy men. All they did was reply and HUG. HUG. HUG. All the best :) x
  • Over a year ago
    Yeh approach - as in even if she catches his eye first. normally an IM INTERESTED signal needs to be SENT to a SHY guy frist.
  • Over a year ago
    I know :) because I did this. and the guy I have. he completes me. in every way. so I wish you the best. because shy men. are beautiful people. x

    Best. Thing. Ever.
    100% accurate
    i know it's a guide for women but I couldn't help but read with shy in the title

    i don't exactly like the "only way he going to get a girl is to be approached" this isn't exactly true, it's just harder for us to make the move. but as you said we'll make small moves

    i feed on love and give it right back, no strings =)

A Guy Asked Is it 'in' now to take pictures of yourself in the mirror with your phone?
