| Yes, I like shy, awkward guys. Can’t stand smooth men. Smooth tells me you’ve said it all before….probably to dozens of other women. |

People often confuse shy and introverted. There are social introverts. I am married to one.
I don't want to be with a guy who can't deal with himself at a party and who I have to babysit or is a stage 10 clinger or who just avoids normal social situations. Had one of these boyfriends in my 20s. It's easy to get caught up in the idea oh this person is shy and quiet but I am special and have broken through and he talks to me. Nope. It's exhausting. |

My partner is an introvert but he is not shy. I love him and wouldn't trade him for the world.
I guess you'd have to explain what you mean by shy. |
White women preferred him. |
Please drop this tired narrative. Most of the change in the election is attributable to swings in minority voting demographics. |
+1. My wife has a good friend whose husband is introverted, but not particularly shy. I don't see him out very often. But when he does get out, he's charming and engaging. I'm always vaguely surprised, but I shouldn't be. |
Tired narrative? More white women voted for Trump than voted for Harris. It's a simple fact. The white women who bothered to vote preferred Trump. Nobody should care about the people who didn't bother to vote. |
| I like shy/reserved, but they have to be able to talk, and when they do, they must be smart, funny and kind. Very hot that they are confident and don't need to be loud/brassy/annoying to try to get attention. |
There are shy men are just shy. Socially awkward, not comfortable in their own skin, not comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings or just prefer not to engage with others. There are shy men that are creepy and are always scheme or plotting for something else, those scammers, violent/murderer types. Strong silent is pretty much opposite of both of those. They are confident and don’t need to be the center of attention, know they don’t have “competition” in the room. Their words and actions have intent or meaning. There isn’t meaningless chit chat or fluff. Their actions speak for themselves, they do what they say they will without boasting about or seeking praises and recognition. They go about their business in a methodical productive method regardless of what others say or think. |

My late husband was an introvert but was not shy. My bf is an extrovert but shy. They aren’t the same thing.

| Yes, but what makes them shy is important. It cannot be low self-esteem, but rather, confidence. |

Hard pass on the extroverted men. The loud ones are interesting at first sight but can become annoying after a while.
DH is introverted. I can see how he can be glossed over by women as he naturally doesn't care to engage with strangers. That said, he runs a business with 200+ people. Is assertive and confident, and can mingle and be charming like anyone else. It just takes more energy for him to socialize with others who he doesn't know well, and h'de much rather spend time with family and close friends than hit happy hours. I am ore than happy with this! |
| Shy men have untapped value. You have to share confident men with everyone else. |
