Everyone is different and everyone has their own definition of what being a man or what "manliness" is about. I also fail to see why someone's manhood or toughness should come into question if they're the quieter more reserved type. I think what women (and people in general) care more about how you stand up for yourself, your beliefs and the values you hold. Guys that are extroverted and more socially eccentric by nature tend to communicate these things to women subconsciously by just being themselves. The plight of the quiet guys is that they are hard to figure out and are not the most active people when it comes to social foreplay. Although this may not be because they lack the social graces to be successful, they may simply want to avoid for other reasons. I myself tend to be very quiet but not because I am deathly afraid to talk or interact with people but because I am often over-analyzing things to the nth-degree.
The "stereotype" for quiet men is so bizarre... It's full of sh*t basically.
The truth is that if you want anything - get it yourself. Meaning, if you want people to consider you manly, start standing out in crowds as a man.. If you want people to think you're not a momma's boy, start focusing on stuff that matters - like a job..etc.. Getting all these improvements in your life will certainly help people to notice you. But it really boils down to the simple fact of "avoiding the corner of the room" so that you can get out in a crowd and socialize.. The first step, is to say hello.

I like boys who are quiet, I find that usually they are more thoughtful than a boy that is always in the center of attention. Also, I'm a super shy, quiet girl, and wouldn't be able to fight over a guy that was too loud or attention grabbing. I think that as long as he is secure in himself, it's better for him to be on the quiet side. As for the momma's boy, being quiet doesn't make you one, and at least in my opinion, momma's boys are usually the more cocky boys.
Um. I usually think they don't like me but I learned from a classmate. He said that people think he is mad but usually that his thinking face. So, I don't think too much about it. I like when people are nice and friendly because that is who they are. I hate fake people but it never hurt to be nice to people. Just never act like you are better than another person, that is a major turn off.
stoic and moody are both fine with me, as long as he has a sense of humour and decency. whereas mummy's boys kiss-arse's and cheapskates are unmanly and a big turn off.

Quiet guys are a charm. They are manly in every way don't don't act like something they're not. I wish people would appreciate them more! They are so mysterious and I want to find out more about them. I've been with my guy for 3 years now and I had a feeling about him I just wanted to know everything about him and I ended up REALLY liking him :)
the majority of women like quiet guys i'm one, think tall dark and silent and also think of james dean, even Che Guevara had a way with the ladies and he was an introvert, even think of bruce wayne / batman, ladies love men who are more how can i say this stoic yet good hearted not wussy or kiss asses, i've been around women who have had lots of very loud admirers and would put them on a pedstal i however never do that and those guys lost and i won all the time and quite frankly go read womens literture say like twilight and 50 shades grey and you'll see that as long as your confident and not a fake you'll do fine go look at clint eastwood he's quiet and stoic and look at him, you need to look around you and use resence to your advantage that way you shine out among others like in this advert:
hope this helps :)
Being loud/quiet has absolutely nothing to do with manliness. Quiet people can be just as manly if not more manly than loud, obnoxious, attention seeking men. Loud people can get annoying anyway.
Manliness is about being tough (on the inside mostly). Being a man is about being able to handle all the sh*t that life throws at you and never being a wimp or softcock; which means NO CRYING.
Sounds more manly than a guy who is always in the middle of everything, to be honest. But like you said, he's gotta stand up for himself. That also goes for his beliefs, not just regular taunting and teasing. If someone challenges him in a debate of philosophy or politics, he'll hold his ground and not duck his head. You've gotta be mature to do that, to actually disagree with someone.
i know a guy just like that...liked him for a year or so
turned out he was full of himself tho and he told me he hadn't found anyone worth the time to try and date! psh!
Wow lots of lies here. Yes girls do not like quiet guys and all the ones who say the do lied. The might say quiet is good but look at the guys they date. Are they quiet. The facts have spoken.
I find them intriguing. I'm currently crushing on this unbelievably calm quiet guy, and he's so mysterious to me. I'm dying to figure him out.
I'm the exact opposite, so it kind of balances it out.
I find a quiet guy really sexy, it seems like he is so confident and so chill that he doesen't need to say anything
Honestly shy guys are my type. I'm an extroverted girl and I always think introverts are more interesting and honestly just more attractive. Having said that, I've never been able to successfully confirm that an introvert liked me back. Y'all need to be more confident. Seriously any normal girl will just take it as a compliment.
Do I find mimes manly?... link Sure.
not unmanly but it's so difficult to know where I stand with them since they don't say much
ofcourse not! Quiteness doesn't make a man "unmanly". Sometimes, I find them very charming :)
I find them creepy.
Manly is based on a guy's character.
Nobody likes a blabbermouth.
