Girls, Why do Women show less sympathy or empathy towards Shy Guys than they do Shy Girls?

Do you have statistics to back up this claim? I believe empathy is innate, so if these girls are, as you say, selecting who they show empathy to, it's a charade.

If empathy was truly innate and automatic, then shy guys wouldn’t constantly be told to ‘man up’ while shy girls get comforted. The difference in reactions itself proves it’s selective, not universal.

What do you mean? 😕 I like shy guys
In fact I befriend them first.
As friends tho, unless it turns into more.
I'm not approaching men to date.

[Asker]

Saying you like shy guys but only as friends and refusing to ever approach them just proves my point. That isn’t liking them, that’s sidelining them.

If i do get into a relationship, I want a leader
How can they lead me if they're afraid to approach me?

[Asker]

If you only wait for men to approach you, you’ll never know which ones can actually lead. You’re just picking the boldest, not the best.

When a man is shy, it can be viewed as an indication of a lack of confidence or social competence. It is not rocket science.

[Asker]

I know that but why do most Women find confidence and social competence attractive?

And why don't women find Shyness or lack of social competence as Endearing or Attractive?

Back for another internet whine session?

I didn't ask for you to give me an example.

I'm asking why?
