Confident. If you’re above 20, you’re too old to be shy. We all know we aren't perfect, no good minded adult will bash you for showing it. I don't know. I just don’t have the patience for shy girls.
It’s one thing to have first date nervousness. But if it’s already been established that we like eachother and you’re still being timid it’ll get on my nerves. It’ll feel like I’m dating a little girl. I want a woman.
Any girl can be fine once I get to know them... I find confident girls give a better first impression because they're more open, though. I've chatted with a few shy girls and realized I didn't learn much about their interests or passions.
Both can be cool in the long-term.
Guys have a desire to protect their partner. Shy gives the impression that a girl needs their protection thus it is attractive. Guys also want support form their partner, someone strong enough to hold them up when they are down. This makes confidence attractive as it implies a certain amount of strength. Both are important for different reasons and a balance between both can be a very good thing.
I used to believe that I liked shy girls because I was relatively shy myself and I thought we could relate. Now I know that I'm more attracted to confident girls. They're more interesting to talk to and you don't have to force the conversation. It's always tough breaking the ice on a first date with a shy girl.
I prefer a girl in the middle of shy and confident. Your giel can't be too confident because I feel like confident can lead to cockiness which is a horrible trait, however shy girls often can't stand up for themselves in a confrontation which is a turn-off.
A lot of guys like the shy side to girls but at the same time need her to function in society
Like shy enough to use a self serve checkout but not so shy she can't talk to a cashier.
A little self confidence helps but it's mostly for at home.
I like both honestly.
But if I have to choose one. Then Confident. I love a woman who knows what she wants, bit isn't arrogant and has the drive to go after promotions. Self driven is extremely sexy.
Doesn't matter. If I feel how I feel for someone, things like that don't come into the equation. I've dated all kinds of girls and each was different. I find not sticking to a type keeps things interesting.
A mix of both is great, it’s cute when a girl gets shy around a guy instead of being overly confident all the time. Then it’s easy to be put in the “bro zone”.
A confident girl in bed is something else tho. :)
Everybody is a mix of shyness and confidence.
And if you ever do meet a guy who is ALWAYS confident. . . that guy's a fucking idiot.
I'd say shy girls cause they are adorable when they get embarrassed/flustered.
I like a mix of both. Confident in herself in terms of knowing what se wants etc, but has her shy moments :3
Confidence is key, every time. It takes a very secure man to date that kind of woman, though.
Confidence all the way. I appreciate it when a girl knows what they want and goes after it.
You are the perfect woman. Use those characteristics at the right place and time. Men will take advantage of you if they see you meek or timid. We are ASSHOLES! Most of us anyway. But I think confidence is a key factor in attraction
Shy. But not shy to the point where she can't say what she wants. I don't want a "strong independent womyn," I want a feminine, normal woman.
I personally like a confident woman! I also appreciate a strong will and a free thinker!
Both have their pros, but I feel like getting to know a shy girls is so much more rewarding. It demands more work and patience though.
I personally prefer shy, makes me wanna get to know her more
Confident girls shy girls hardly talk at the dinner
They just nod their head
I like a mix of both. Confidence or shyness by themselves can lead to unattractive qualities.
I prefer girls who smile with teeth and wear big round ear rings iykwim
Never really judged them for how they are in those mannerism. How they smile. How we become or seek out the party.
I prefer shy girls 😊can u please visit my profile and reply to my question
Depends on is she working in the same field as me or not. But most guys prefer shy girls.
I like mix. Shy when we first get to know each other, then confidence once we become closer
A shy woman who has a confident to move the mountains
We dont care. Those are things WOMEN care about, not men.
Confident in herself, and not an attention-whore.
Shy at first, opening up to confident. So a mix!
A mix of both
well, it depends on the guy too, but I think both of them can be fun to date.
