Introverted people are for more fascinating to me than extroverted.
Definition: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population.

I'm somewhere in the middle but usually lean a little bit more towards introvert. I could be happy with either one. I've usually preferred more introverted girls before, but lately I've been curious about the more outgoing types.
If I'm going to have a fling, I want the guy to be an extrovert. That way, I don't have to work for his trust nd the whole thing is over with in a couple of weeks, no problem.
But if I'm actually dating for keeps, I want an introvert. If I'm going to work for something, I like having to really work for certain milestones. It feels like more of an accomplishment, and all of that is far more rewarding. I guess I have more in common with that kind of guy, too, when you get right down to it.
I can act like an extrovert if I feel a need to, but I'm really all about my little space with my selective circle of people.
I'm really introverted and I'd prefer someone who's also introverted or in the middle. It would just bring more harmony to the relationship. I've tried dating extroverts, didn't work out because we never understood each other.
Extroverted people generally but I'll make acceptions of the introvert is lovely and pleasant to be around :)

I am an extrovert myself.
when you date an extrovert girl,she is pretty open about herself and getting to know her is not much of a challenge.
plus they usually don't hide things which can be a big problem later on in a relationship...
so you connect with them faster and get to know each other easily.
THIS IS WHO I AM...NO PLAYING GAMES
I like this attitude in lifeI'd probably want to date someone slightly extroverted, but not obnoxious. It would balance out my more introverted personality. I'm not completely shy, but I tend to be more reserved and quiet until I really warm up to someone.
I don't like introverts because they don't like people and that is stupid. Sorry that's a simplification but it's largely true I believe, Introverts are introverts because at some level they are anti-people.
If my partner is really social, I might mistake it for her flirting and get jealous... if she is introverted I probably would have never talked to her to begin with.
I'm extremely introverted. My boyfriend is extremely introverted. It works since both of us are very happy with staying in and watching movies most of the time.
Do you know that extroverted does not equal outgoing
Introverted does not equal shy
I'm not sure what my preference is, probably something in between. I wouldn't like 100% introverted. 100% extroverted would also annoy me.I like someone who I can easily talk with and feel safe. Someone that I can trust and who has a good heart. Very hard to find because I usually am shy and guys that I like don't make moves. Sigh.
I think I lean more towards the introverted.
In the middle would be nice...but If I had to choose between the two I would say Introverted.mix of both. extroverted girls tend to be very annoying (attention whores) whereas introverted girls tend to be boring.
I prefer to date people in the middle. I'm an extrovert with occasional bouts of shyness.
If you choose introvert, you're a fucking moron. What, so you'd prefer to date someone who can't hold a conversation to save their own life?
I've never met a single extrovert who was nice to be around.
The nearest I've ever come to that was a "social introvert".I have no preference. I just don't like the extremes of both.
I am very introverted myself, and I am not picky. lol I can't afford to be anyway.
Kinda don't have a choice lol.
Overall, I like to date extroverted girls. :)
Introverted women understand me better.
