  • Your personality is not the problem it is if you can't go over to a women that you like and talk to her is the problem. Us shy guys have a really hard time working up the courage to talk to women. However if we do they understand that were shy and nervous by our body language. If they like shy guys then they cut us some slack. If they don't cut you some slack when you nervously mess up then move on. She is not worthy of you.

  • Being shy as a man is probabaly the most unattractive thing you can be. Women want a man with confidence.

    • The i guess i'm fucked

    • You seem to say this about introverts as well. There are women who like introverts and shy men. A man can be shy but still confident, and same with introverts.

  • I generally like introverts more since I'm an introvert myself. Extroverts can be draining and annoying.
    Too shy to the point of being constantly insecure & unconfident is a turnoff though. He should become comfortable and take initiative eventually because, since I'm also shy, I don't want to do all the work.

    • But with me, you should take the first step

    • I usually give increasingly obvious hints that I like him in hopes that he finally gets the message and asks me out. If he doesn't do anything I usually assume he doesn't like me. But even so, recently I did get the nerve to tell a guy friend I liked him. he rejected me and it hurt a lot. But if no one takes the chance, nothing will happen. The first step is the worst.

  • For me it is:/ only because I'm pretty shy myself and I always notice when I talk to a shy guy our conversations never go anywhere and end pretty quick. Also I don't really like to be the one to keep the conversation going on my own I tried that and it was very awkward lol

  • no, i prefer shy, reserved and calm

    • Then i am your type however i always thought girls wanted bad boy type of guys, confident and loud.

    • thank you

  • For me personally, it is. I have a big personality and I look for people who aren't intimidated by that and who are forward and confident, since that's how I am. But hey I'm just one girl in a sea of billions.

  • Not always but it depends a lot on how shy as well as their other qualities

  • I found it neutral.
    But, honestly when u like a girl, like it or not.. even if you are afraid.. u still need give signals to us.

  • No shy guys can be the hottest thing ever.

    • Great! i always knew girls find us adorable but i never thought we were hot too

    • Yes the shy guys are always the ones who I'm most attracted too.

    • You have given me hope, i thought all women wanted the confident Alpha males

  • Not necessarily it depends on what the rest of your personality is like

  • it depends on the girl
    but i find shy guys cute, i really like it, maybe because i'm shy too

  • Not a turn off but a man who is confident and comfortable in his own skin and make the first move is way more appealing to me.

  • NO.

    If anything it's a turn on.

    • Great! i found your answer unexpected because i always thought women wanted strong macho men that are confident and tough, you know the i'll protect you no matter what type of guy and found shy scared wishy-washy guys like me pathetic.

    • I think it's exactly the macho-man guys saying that women want the "strong macho man" it's probably so often repeated because outgoing people will be heard praising themselves more than introverted people. it only makes sense

  • If your worried about your shyness maybe you can work on it by talking to girls your not attracted to or just random people in public to gain some confidence.

  • Your personality is your personality. Elementary etiquette and the ability to talk will work well enough for you.

  • Just don't act like a pussy. Women like confidence.

  • Not a turn off

  • just a tip for you : grow some facial hair and change your haircut and you will look better with shyness

    i know that cuz im super shy person

    • I have no facial hair :( i guess i'm just a femenine guy

    • do you shave? as i see you do have some hair but you shave it.. just leave it to grow

    • I shave because i have too little beard and if i let grow it looks scratchy and not cool at all

  • Women would approach shy guys more often if they genuinely liked shy guys.

  • Women love a confident guy, none of tht shyness stuff. Stick ya chest out brah

  • It's not a turn off but it's not a turn on either.

  • I think its both.. i like shy guys a lot... but when they dont make a move.. thats when i get hurt.. answer mine? www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2063556-did-he-like-me-or-was-this-all-in-my-head pls help me!!! you kinda seem like the guy that would know about this !!

  • Extroverted people yes it is

  • No not a turn off to me

    • Thank you, i think it's not the man's job to ask women out because not all men are the same, some of us are shy
