Men, in general, how friendly would you prefer your woman to be with people?

Question

Out of curiosity, I wonder how attractive being friendly is. Of course everyone wants their partner to be friendly to them, but what about when it comes to strangers and people in general. On a scale of one word responses to hugging, how friendly do you prefer a woman to be?

Scenario #1: A stranger that looks like they aren't in great condition comes up and ask for help/resources

Very friendly: The woman gives plenty of help/resources or anything she doesn't truly need that the stranger needs more than her
Friendly: The woman gives some help/resources (if she can) that will help the stranger out to an extent
Neutral: The woman may or may not offer help/resources to the stranger depending on the mood/circumstances of the day
Reserved: The woman turns down the stranger/doesn't offer help/resources

Scenario #2: A co-worker comes up to the woman with some papers

Very friendly: The woman cheerfully greets the co-worker, chats, asks if there's anything she can do for the co-worker, then proceeds to get done what the co-worker had in mind.
Friendly: The woman greets the co-worker and participates in small talk, asks the co-worker what's up, then proceeds to get done what the co-worker had in mind.
Neutral: The woman asks the co-worker what's up and then proceeds to get done what the co-worker had in mind.
Reserved: The woman ignores the co-worker's presence until the co-worker grabs her attention. She then proceeds to get done what the co-worker had in mind.

I know this is kind of a weird lengthy question but let me know your opinion! :) I would say I'm somewhere between neutral-friendly with people in general.

In your two scenarios, I would choose 'very friendly'. That just means that she is a nice person, is willing to help, and makes for a happy work environment. It doesn't mean that she is flirty or frivolous. And she is not a doormat and will not be taken advantage of.
I've worked with women like that and they were like bringing sunshine into the office.

I picked B on the poll because I wasn't just thinking about a work setting. I like being with a woman who has a ready smile, is bright and cheerful. People who see her feel good.
She is nice and may even say hello to acknowledge strangers who say hello to her in passing, or to people who are down on their luck. She smiles at children and old people, she's polite and shows gratitude to working people like check out clerks, and she's good at remembering names. She brightens people's day without giving any appearance of being needy for attention. She's not out to attract people. People automatically like her and she makes friends easily, but knows who and who not to be friends with on anything more than a merely polite, cordial basis.

I think “friendly” how you’ve described it is the right amount of friendly I would prefer my woman to have. I think anything too far to any extreme is not ideal or sustainable. You wouldn’t want to be so friendly that you end up doing too much to tire yourself out, being used by selfish people, etc.

There's 2 types of friendly. There's kind friendly then there's flirt friendly. I'm cool with her having any level of kind friendly because that just shows me how big her heart is. It's never wrong to care about someone. But flirt friendly of course I'd want her to reign that in lol.

My girlfriend can walk into a dark room full of strangers and light the whole place up within seconds.  ... What amazes me though is? why nobody else knows where the light switch is!

I think this is a good balance for this choice. Friendly but always with boundaries, that is what is healthy.

Personally Im quite reserved (I don't want to give my time to stranger or people I don't particularly like, I like to keep my time for family and close friends).

Not at all. People are very deceptive, and love to manipulate others especially women. Stay in your circle.

I don't necessarily believe that becoming overly aggressive is to my advantage

I like it if she's genuinely helpful and helping others some girls do it for attention unfortunately. Being so friendly is not good and might make others using you balance is a key friendly with who deserve it
