Guys, are you more attracted to Shy or Confident girls?

Question

So women in general (not always) tend to be attracted to confidence, but i'm not sure what most guys tend to prefer. (the GIFs are just examples)

I rather have someone who is confident. Some who isn't afraid to say how they feel or what they think. If they think what I did something sweet. It is nice to hear the compliments, it nice to hear how they feel deep down even if it is embarrassing.

-She feels more sincere because she express how she feels
-she is more adventurous
-she is better at holding a conversation
etc

Compared to the shy girl that is too afraid to do a lot of things. She is too afraid to invite you anywhere because you might say no.
-Too afraid so talking to her can be frustrating because she doesn't say much.
-shy girls aren't really adventurous or spontaneous.
- she will rarely tell you how she feels because she definitely does not want to be embarrassed.
- A lot of this things she will do will be awkward or she will do it all round about. Instead of being direct and too the point like the confident girl.
etc

I like both, but if she is too shy to the point where she is scared to do anything or is socially awkward even when she should be comfortable with me? Then that's where I draw the line

I don't think shyness and confidence are related though , you can be a shy and confident girl. the opposite of confidence would be lack of confidence which is related to low self esteem or insecurities , while shyness is more of a reserved type of girl , its natural but it doesn't mean the girl lacks confidence.

To all the guys out there replying with vague answers... Based on my experience, a more confident guy will prefer a confident, driven woman by his side. If the man is less confident, he will go for girls more like himself.

Just a point: shy is not always a synonym for insecure.

Guys say shy girls until they see a confident girl. It’s the same thing with makeup. 80% of guys say they like women without makeup, but that wouldn’t be the case if they it was actually put into reality they would choose the better looking women.

Cosytoasty · Answer

I like confident without arrogance. She doesn't outwardly show it, but test her and she will prove it.

there's a commercial that i can't remember for the life of me who it was for (some fragrance i think). It's three young pretty girls talking about a handsome man at the bar of a hotel or something, saying why he needs a girl who has this, that and the other. Then a fourth older woman walks down and said, sorry girls, he's had a woman.

I remember being amazed by her.

levantine99 · Answer

confident and sassy & slutty are too different things. many guys and women mistake the second for the first. confidence is more subtle low profile and deep.

just_tired · Answer

I guess I'm a bit more attracted to confident girls. I just melt when a girl looks at me with curious eyes really close and asks questions and acts all excited.

VegetaSSB · Answer

shy, because i simple don´t have patience to be going out all the time, i don´t have so much patience with the mediocrity of people nowadays to be honest.

Logorithim · Answer

I like both shy and confident women, but the confident woman is usually more approachable and her personality is normally more discernable, as personality is very important to me.

SebShaw82 · Answer

That sassy bravado could a coping mechanism for a deep-rooted insecurity. I'm attractive to smart, pleasant women who don't mess me around or belittle me for not agreeing with her.

JimRSmith · Answer

Definitely confident.  Confidence is a big, big turn on to me. I think most guys on G@G will prefer shy, though (he says, before voting)...

Whats this confident bullshit? None of that matters. Any girl who is nice, intelligent, honest and not a cheap slut.

As long as she has confidence with me, that is what I want.

TallAnon · Answer

Both have their own merits, I feel more comfortable around confident women because they seem less fragile, but shy girls just makes want to protect them 😊

JustGiveMeAUsername · Answer

I guess confident, but it's not really a deal breaker

Anonymous · Answer

I like a shy girl who has some self-confidence and is willing to show and work with it. Y'know, the kind of girl who's shy at first, but once you get through her shell she's a magnificent woman.

soul1110 · Answer

Apparently my ideal is the very pure nice and sweet girl, but I always end up with bitchy chicks that seem to attract me somehow.

Anonymous · Answer

shy girls can be confident you dont have to be loud to be confident. being loud is a turnoff because its annoying dealing with someone who won't shut the fuck up and that goes both ways
