Is it better if I try to hide my shyness from women?

[Timid-guy]

I ask because maybe if I show myself the way I really am women might get turned off because my nature is timid and humble, I guess I'm a sensitive guy.

Dude is trying to look tough so the girl doesn't lose interest.

[Minahh]

I mean it's okay to be sensitive. I've been that way too for a long time, and deep down I am. It's just I had to create this persona to survive somehow in this sometimes tough world otherwise people wouldn't take me seriously. I'd advise you to practice shy confidence. It doesn't mean being a douchebag like majority of guys - that's the biggest turn off for dominant women. But don't be someone who can't stand up for himself, is shy to communicate his needs etc.

Shyness? How could you hide it? If you are able to hide it, it doesn't exist. Remember:

"There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waitin' for something to do"

Just say "Hello". They are just as shy as you are.

No, develop more confidence instead. Women can tell right away if you are nervous.

[Timid-guy]

Is it a turn off if they notice I'm nervous?

[Avicenna]

Yes. You may be able to overcome it with some women if you’re interesting

You can try to act stoic rather than shy, it would be hard to tell if you shy if you act stoic.
