Quiet guys are weak?

[Anonymous]

Women will see guys that are quiet and not trying to impress women as "weak, unmanly and not confident" or is this not true?

i usually attracted to quiet guys, unless they are quiet because they are judgemental. I talk a lot so I don not mind if he's quiet, and I like just not talking sometimes. so its a pain if he needs to be 'on' all the time, or expects me to be. I find profound thinking can not happen , without frequent bouts of silence. A guy talking non stop,or needing non stop talking, from me- is not likely someone ill be attracted to. any guy I have ever liked,has been silent when we met.. & known to go into long lapses of silence, since.

What about guys that are so silent they never go up to women and stay completely silent in all group situations

well, for me, if I like a guy il go up to him.. and I don't know about group[s, depends on what group, but I don't really like being in a group with a guy I like.. its awkward.

Depends on the man, but for the strong silent type...it's DEFINITELY not true. Still waters run deep. I happen to prefer men who are quietly observant, confident, yet humble, who speak only when they have something of substance to say...and who make their move on a woman only when they feel the timing is right...and of course, when they feel the woman is worth his time.

i would label him as being shy maybe not confident but I wouldn't go as far as unmanly or weak. every guys personality is different and not every guy is confident. I sometimes find shyness kinda sexy and it makes me want to get to know him more :)

Personally I feel there is a difference to be had between meek and shy and being calm and quiet.

Where did you hear this? Every girl I've ever been with has picked me over other guys BECAUSE I wasn't trying to impress them.

Well what if you literally never talked to anyone at your work, never asked women out and didn't make any effort to get to know people unless they talked to you

Wha?

If anything, quiet guys are f***ing adorable. I LOVE quiet guys. Always get along with them, maybe because I'm the opposite. As long as you're not antisocial, you're good.

I think it's silly to assume that just because a guy is outgoing and not quiet he's just trying to impress a girl. A guy who likes a girl will try to impress her outgoing or quiet.

i think its completely not true...

i find guys that are not talkative and quiet mysterious and sexy. it gives me something more to look forward

No... Loud obnoxious idiots are the weak ones. Well, mentally and emotionally that is. And being quiet has nothing to do with being weak.
