Do guys act more gentle around me because of my personality?

[Anonymous]

I'm definitely the shy/innocent/sweet type of girl. I'm pretty gentle and petite and that sort of thing. I've noticed guys treat me differently than more outgoing girls. Guys tend to be polite and gentle and sweet and that sort of thing with me whereas they tend to be more flirty and playful with outgoing girls. Do they treat me this way because of my personality? And is it a bad thing?

I know that people who know me as shy and innocent treat me differently. I can be very outgoing with people I'm comfortable with, but there are some people I'm more guarded around others I don't know as well. I don't think it's always a bad thing though. I know a girl who sees me as kind of sweet and innocent, and I get to see a softer side of her wheras most people think she's a bitch.

You can be innocent and sweet while still being playful and fun (works for me). It's not a bad thing at all, but if you want to get more flirting from the guys you can try to open up a bit more. Good luck!

Its because you're quieter, they're just gonna treat you based on what you send out. why would they be flirty and playful with a girl who isn't flirty and playful? its not bad unless you think its bad

In a social setting, you give what you get, and you get what you give...

...unless a guy is looking for sex asap.

It's not a good or bad thing. Frankly, that's not something for any of us to say because we aren't you. Why don't YOU tell US? Does this treatment make you happy or not?

Honestly, I approach the shy girls. They are usually the better ones for relationships and I am more attracted to them. Guys do tend to respond in a similar manner to how you respond to them. If you act gentle, they will be gentle. It isn't a bad thing at all.

Yes, guys do act differently around you. Try dressing up like a slut for one day and see the kind of attention you get, and it will be totally different lol

The same way that you would talk to an elderly woman differently than you'd talk to a middle aged man.
