Op here. Actually I'm a woman just curious what other women prefer.

No, OP, you are not a woman. Everyone is an incel!

No, I like men who are assertive and even more in the bedroom.

Nope.

I'm a shy man and women like me once they get to know me - but getting to that point can be difficult.

Yes. Totally turned off by extroverted men.

So glad to see all the "no"s here because that means less competition for the hot shy guys

Yes.

Reserved, yes. Shy? Not sure. He needs to have confidence (I'm sure men like this about women too), so he probably would just be quiet instead of timid.

Sometimes? If this is the main personality trait, it's gonna be hard to get to the other points where we can connect. A little shy is fine. Cripplingly so, not so much. Can he carry on a conversation, even if he's more inclined to listen than talk? Fine. Is he going to give me monosyllabic responses while staring at his plate? That's going to be a one-date wonder for me.

I think WAY too many men think cocky/overconfident is a turn-on, and it's not. Confident, sure. But I'd happily take a little less confidence if it came with increased empathy, compassion, self-awareness. No problem.

Yes but it took me years to realize this. My first few boyfriends were extroverts and I couldn’t stand them within a few months. My introverted dh was the first boyfriend I still liked at the 6 month mark. Now married 20+ years.

Wouldn't have thought that so many women like extroverted, loud, maga rapists. Shows you why the orange man won.

US culture celebrates extroverts. Not a good thing, in my opinion.

My guy is reserved when first meeting people. You have to draw him out a bit. He’s not a huge bragger but he has a lot of interesting insights. And he’s a hottie!

Regardless of the preference once the relationship is established, there is going to be a strong bias toward extroverts when getting a relationship started in the first place.

Extroverted men are the path of least resistance for women. Making the first move is uncomfortable for almost everyone. Because it kind of sucks, women will rely on men to make the first move because societal expectations are set up so that they, moreso than men, can sit back and wait.

Extroverted men, pretty much by definition, are more likely to make those first moves.

Um, what? No, I don’t need some guy to go aggro on another guy for a small mistake like this. Are you the kind of woman that likes to see men fighting over her?

Hard no.
