Shy and sensitive

[ShybutHi]

Do women like shy and sensitive guys? I just wonder because I have read in the past that some do but is this really the truth?

I do not actually know anyone who is like this and is in a relationship. All the guys I know who are in relationships are really quite outgoing.

Personally speaking I would say I am a fairly sensitive guy, I like affection and am a bit romantic. I can be quite shy but I have confident mannerism so in other words I present myself confidently but am not great at banter or small talk in group... Much more of a personal person who enjoys deeper conversation.

I have wondered if that would potentially confuse women who are looking for a romantic partner, considering I have a confident stride and mannerism but with a shy streak to my personality who is not great at talking/creating banter when in group social settings.

I'm sure some do, but I don't think it's very common. At least, it doesn't appear to be from what I have seen anyway.

My personal preference is definitely towards a man who is quieter and more sensitive, who seems thoughful and intelligent as opposed to a really confident, masculine-type guy.

I would prefer a quieter and sensitive man as well.

For me this is the type of guy I generally go for. I don't like guys who are overly out going, loud and obnoxious and not sensitive to my feelings. A lot of the men I used to date were masculine, outspoken, blunt and very sarcastic which ended up hurting my feelings in the end. A little sarcasm is okay but if you chose to use it around me over every little thing it'll end up getting to me after awhile. I'm quite sensitive, emotional and a hopeless romantic.

All responses after my post are the opposite of what I said. Why don't any of you live here? lol

a guy like that, who becomes a bit more extrovert in the bedroom, would be quite ideal

Unfortunately women will often take their impressions of you from a group situation where they feel safe.

Getting on well in a group involves different social skills than one-to-one conversation - like knowing when and how much to contribute, not staying on one topic too long when others have moved on, generally understanding the flow, and an awareness of the group dynamic; who's closest to who etc. Try and involve yourself more and you should improve.

Well unfortunately for them, those women that are looking for someone and happen to judge me for not being extroverted in a group will miss out won't they.



Peaches: Who says a guy like that isn't already an extrovert in the bedroom?
