What about it ?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Girls don't all have the same taste in men you know. Although most seem to prefer their men on the direct, aggressive and confident side.
Define shy. Imagine two imaginary people named John and Jacob at a social gathering. John sits there quietly, seemingly perfectly content. Jacob, however, seems anxious and often opens his mouth to say something but in freezing when people look at him nothing he thinks to add to conversation is even heard. As such, often he simply detracts himself from conversation.
Some might define both as shy. John abstains from conversation because he's content keeping to himself while people are as Medusa to Jacob as he turns to stone at their gaze. One does not need conversation while the other desires it but cannot have it.
At times I myself have been Jacob. I rarely felt I had anything to add to conversation aside from a few select topics and when I did have knowledge of a topic my anxiety would cause me to freeze in place before speaking. In time, I have become more like John. Even in high school I was voted as a senior superlative as being quietest. I am now capable of speaking but now I am capable because I no longer need to speak. Once I acknowledged my self-worth was not tied up in forcing myself to have extroverted tendencies I became free from a lot of my "shy" tendencies.
Now that I am content with who I am as a person I am more like John. I don't need to speak. However, oddly I am now capable. I can speak and add to conversation.
And as for your original question, I am indeed dating. In fact, I bought an engagement ring just yesterday. So yes, it is possible for a lady to like a shy guy.
@sahapeter2013: Certainly there are some that do but for the most part they like guys with confidence.
Of course nothing matters if you have money.
Have you ever been around a bunch of guys when they are talking about women?... Well here's a fun fact for you women do the same and think the same.
So if your a shy guy that looks like Johnny Depp then yes women do like shy guys. Get my drift.
Smart ones do.

Also this.

I would be John.
No, you'll never get laid if you're not assertive.
Depends on the situation. A lot of women love dorky, quiet, nerds (no i'm not talking about some pale-skinned, curly-haired **** with coke-bottle glasses who picks his nose and eats his boogers while playing with his calculator).

You still usually have to initiate the "hi" - most women don't approach men.
At least not me :P
Unless they're drunk >_>

true haha
I am shy myself and some girls do like it. I found a girl who was shy as me but she wasn't that attractive but at lest made contact with me. She was shy but at lest made an effort to say Hi to me whenever she was around me. I hated it but at least didn't want appear rude to just played her game. I think she might of had a crush on me as she would always smile at me and shake my hand and be happy to see me. Like I was her boyfriend or like she was obsessed with me. Never had a girl do that before as most girls see me as shy and tend to walk away and don't bother or give me dirty looks.
It depends on whether you're attractive and/ or tall. If you're attractive and tall, you will come across as mysterious and intriguing. If you're short and ugly, you will come across as suspicious and creepy. If you're either attractive and short or ugly and tall, there will be some sort of middle ground.

I hate being short but would call myself average not ugly. Ugly would be fat or maybe not good looking. I bet if I was tall and handsome, I could get tons of girls with no problems.

I'm a runt myself. I'm only 5'7.5" tall without footwear, and weigh only 140 Lbs.

Anyone with the right attitude can get girls, dude. Look around next time you're in public and check out how many butt-ugly men are with hot-as-hell women.

I honestly rarely see this. Most couples I see are composed of partners who are equally attractive.

Not 'round these parts. Plenty of hot girls with men who don't even look average, but have the personality and motivation to make up for it.
There's a difference in not having it in the looks department and not taking care of yourself. If you take care of yourself you shouldn't have much to worry about on that front, as women are all over the map in what they find attractive.
All women are different and have different preferences in potential partners. You can't apply what works with one to any other.

People are more alike than you think. The typical woman wants a man who's six feet tall, with a slim build, and an attractive face. They also want him to make six figures, push a nice whip, and lay down the pipe like a grade-a plumber.

Prove it.

It's a self-evident truth. /discussion
I guess some would..by some I mean very few. It'd one of those overtly compassionate women, who like a "fixer-upper", and a shy guy would probably be the safest in that category, where a woman could use her charm to entice the guy to be more sociable and confident.

I'm sorta in the same boat. I'm just 5'8 and weigh 180 lbs (a lot of which is fat). I'm not obese, but I am overweight for my height. It seems like unless you're tall, rich, and confident, you'll live life alone. It's bullshit.

This is not true at all. If you keep on having this mentality you're not going to get a girl dude.
Depends on the chick. Though as others have pointed out that the majority go for people with more confidence, and aggression. In fact nobody take this the wrong way, but the majority of women like dumb men. I have witnessed this all my life, and I even acted dumb with a girl, and believe it or not it worked. When I say dumb I don't mean a guy who comes along, and knows nothing, and just sounds dumb, but more of the type of person who thinks they know everything, and obviously don't to people with any intellect.
In the end I have met many chicks who like completely different types of men. Also not all women want men who have money(a lot do though, you can buy almost anyone, but not everyone(I'm nowhere near being rich just FYI)), if you think this then I really don't want to live where you live.
Girls like guys with shy personalities (to some extent), but not shy looking guys (those fragile stuttering socially awkward creeps)
Most girls like guys who simply have the courage to talk with them. For a lot of girls (especially the more attractive ones), they find they actually don't get many guys talking to them (because most are scared about been rejected and looking like a loser in front of friends ), so when a guy does get up the courage to actually talk to them they are much more welcoming than you'd think, now thats not to say they'll accept any freak who comes there way, but pretty much all girls find self-confidence sexy (even more so if the guy appears to be shy, because that guy went against their normally shy nature just to talk to them).
Girls (I'm assuming you mean high school through college aged girls), no. Some do, but those few are hard to find. I've seen guys pick up girls by sticking to themselves at parties, but in those cases, they were really good looking dudes (one was short, but he had blond hair/blue eyes, which had the girls swarming to him). A small or ugly guy being shy will usually just come off as creepy. You can definitely be ugly/small and pick up hot girls, but you better have the money or social status to make up for it.
Not really. It's not as cut and dry as some people make it out to be, but there is definitely a preference for confident guys from women. Put the shoe on the other foot, would you like to have a relationship with a girl who could barely talk to you? That's not to say you can't be a shy guy and get women. I'm a fairly shy guy, particularly around the opposite sex, but I just try to remember they are probably as nervous or shy as I am (at least, on the first few dates). If you ever feel really shy being around a woman, just joke about it to show you are confident in your shyness. Or, just do what most shy dudes do (including myself) and fake it. You don't have to be a jock, but don't be afraid to compliment her or go in for the kiss. Worst that happens is she spurns your advances, which is not the end of the world.

I wouldn't want a relationship with a girl who could barely talk to me. I would find that girl to be weird or creepy to be honest.
