    I'm very shy and I heard a lot how that makes you less attractive because people want to be with someone who is "confident". So do people find shy people less attractive?

    Well I personally find shy girls to be rather adorable. :slight_smile:
     
  3. no they just dont get noticed as much, but an overly confident person will usually notice a shy person and strike up convo as will another shy person, then one of the shy people usually become the more confident and strike up convo.

    if any of that made sense haha.
    well from my exp anyway :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Being shy and awkward and nerdy are all what makes me so charming!

    I do find shyness rather attractive in a guy, but if that shyness is so severe it means you find it hard to speak to me or interact with me socially then I would find it off putting.
     
  7. omg no lol. shy people are so annoying oh good god. but that's just ME, personally, xD.

    It depends how shy they are. I certainly don't find it attractive when guys are so social that they talk to every person near them and beyond, but I also don't find it attractive when somebody is so shy that I forget what their voice sounds like. I know people of both types, and I admit it keeps me away.

    I have loads of shy friends. I'm not personally, but shyness is cute. (Just an observation, but shy girls at my school tend to be smart with their relationships, as well.)

    l'm ok with shy or awkward types. My only gripe is low self esteem, which shouldn't be confused with either anyway.

    l can seem pretty off when first meeting someone, depending on the person so l understand.

    l just don't expect anyone t speak for me in a relationship and don't want to do so for anyone else.

    ALSO, someone who takes way too long to open up...l have a hard time maintaining interest in. Just saying there better be something very worth it underneath those layers lol.

    I completely agree with omgwtfbbq.

    I guess opposites attract, because I find myself very attracted to girls that seem quiet and shy at first. It's even better when I find out they're actually funny/quirky. :slight_smile:
    I can't deal with low self-esteem though.

    No, I don't think being shy is unattractive. Sometimes I find overconfident people unattractive. But there is a difference between being shy and completely and utterly socially awkward.

    Socially awkward people are hard to be in a relationship with. But then again, a little bit of being shy and some social awkwardness can be cute too, once it doesn't adversely affect the relationship!

    Agreed.

    Shy girls are cute. It's a cute personality trait, just as long as they can speak up and stand up for themselves if they need. Again yeah, shyness doesn't necessarily equal low self esteem.

    But, yeah. I could never see myself with another chatterbox. I think I'd become very annoyed lol.

    I personally think shy guys are cuter than the confident ones. My boyfriend and I didn't say a word for the first few hours after first noticing each other. We just smiled and stared a lot. Lo and behold, almost 9 months later, we're still together. Shy to me = attractive. :wink:

    I definitely don't find shyness unattractive. Pretty much every guy I've had a thing for has been shy in some way. It makes getting to know them that much more interesting.

    People have told me that I am cute because I am shy, awkward, nerdy, etc, etc. I have not much self-esteem, and that to most people is a huge turn off. To most people, it is attractive to a certain extent.
