Are you a sensitive and shy guy?
No. I”m a sensitive and shy guy myself. I’ve never had a date in my life. And I’m 22.

Sensitive and shy guys are nice. Sometimes too nice
Girls might be ok with a sensitive guy, but not definitely a shy guy.
Well the right girl would have the ability to break through the barrier and make the guy feel comfortable enough to say/do wot is on his mind.
when in a realtionship, you should be wasting time trying to ‘fix’ the other person.
I am sure he will get over being shy with his girl when he gets more comfy in the relationship.
But nothing can be done with his shyness in general with other ppl.
a girl likes a caring&sesitive guy but he also has to be confident too.
Yeah, having confidence is a big plus. Mind u, confidence and shyness isnt two words id put together.
Sensitive and shy guys are often better than stuck up outgoing guys.
I guess it depends on a girls preferances. So, it depends. I guess a shy girl would like a shy guy, while a outgoing guy might like a more outgoing guy.

It depends on the situation.
well,i love sensitive guys. shy is ok, but not too shy, because i am shy too, so we probably would hardly talk lol
hm im pretttyyy shy..and i prefer guys that are not shy…a little shy is fine and sensitive is SO much better than a stuck up guy…
sensitive is good, and shy is alright to an extent. i would never be able to date an attention-seeker, but i’m so shy myself that the guy or girl has got to be able to approach me or we would never get anywhere.

haha, why else would he be asking this? i’m fairly sure if he were gay he wouldn’t be too worried about what type of guy girls like.

Assumptions:), played by the numbers:(, we cannot have a real conversation unless the poster is involved.
Anonymous, if you like girls and are tooooooooooo shy to reply:
“Then they will like if you are honest and kind, but work on being brave:)!”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…………………No
Not a whole lot do… thats the thing about it our society has drilled the idea that a guy is supposed to be sensitive, and buy lots of gifts for a woman. This is Not what the majority of women want. No matter what they tell you. Like when a girls says to you i wish my boyfriend was more sweet like you.. This isn’t a compliment because if you were sooo great that girl would dump the other guy and be with you. Women are more powerful because of the womens liberation movement. There are a lot of successful powerful women out there who are intimidatingly to these “nice guys” AKA wimpy or sensitive.
What Do you see in your community, who has a relationship…The Azzholes, However they don’t have good relationships because one side is domineering. Look again Who doesn’t have relationships The Nice guys who would do anything for anybody at anytime. What you need to do is find a medium. GO get some confidence (Limewire Mp3s) Dress nicer, Watch some stand up get more funny. All these things are not only going to benefit your love life but also your life and happiness in general. Also it is important to be active, Do some ab exercises before bed, Buy a fitness ball and dumbells, go running/biking. Physical activity is a natural boost to help confidence and how well you feel
To leave you off with some final wisdom is when a woman “has the pants int relationship, Choosing where to go ect. they also have to be the woman in the relationship taking care of their partner. This can be a hard job to do both so thats why many, Not all, Don’t like the sensitive Nice guy.

There is a difference between a shy guy and a quiet guy. I am a quiet guy, but i say What i have to , I love my self very much and i am confident. A shy guy is quiet but extremely not confident especially in social situations. It is fine to be an introvert because some women prefer it.

Not all sensitive guys are Gay or bi. Most of the time, no offense, their dads don’t teach them anything. So these lost sheep end up looking for romance and they turn to the media…. Bad move, but they had never learned anything else so they don’t know any better.
what if i’m a confident guy, who doesn’t work out, but around my special one, i’m very shy? ^^

sorry you can’t be both. the definition of confident is
1. Marked by assurance, as of success.
2. Marked by confidence in oneself; self-assured.
3. Very bold; presumptuous.
4. Obsolete Confiding; trustful.
A confident person takes risks in a social setting and even if he fails he brushed them off like they don’t mean anything
a confident person leads people.
A shy person has a hard time interacting with people he doesn’t know
I’m usually confident. But when I’m around this one person.. I get really nervous and quiet and stop thinking and stuff. Think it’s called “love” but nvm…
As i said, i’m usually confident, its only around this person that i’m not…

Come out in the light means speak to me and we will talk:) We cannot assume who this person is and what they feel. Anonymous do you have an opinion? What do you want to accomplish?
You should work out a little it cost me twenty buck for a free bike a excercise ball TJ-MAX, and dumbells every thing you need
Litestorm wrote:
Ok…
If you want an exercise to do that will make you more comfortable with women you can go to a mall and make eye contact with every woman and focus on one eye right or left till they look away. Then if they look back smile at them
Oh yea a tip if your afraid of rejection. So rejection is an instinct thats 4million years old. This was when people lived in tribes. In a tribe there would be only 10-15 available mates. so if you messed up with one you would never have a mate for the rest of your life. Now a days you are in contact with a lot of women from many different groups so when a rejection happens you need to understand that it isn’t the end of the world.

Thats what i’m saying you find a middle path in between azzhole and wimp . And this is coming from a girl
I agree with a lot (not all) of what downman has to say. Think about how the media has changed what a man and what a woman are supposed to be like. A century ago men were supposed to be macho and women were supposed to be demure and shy. Now after womens liberation, women are supposed to be strong, smart, independent, and confident, and men are supposed to be sensitive and caring. The man is never supposed to say anything that could offend or hurt the feelings of women, despite the fact that women are supposed to be strong and confident.
Seriously, You don’t want to be the man the feminists have created as the poster boy for manhood. Women are not attracted to that. Some women like shy guys, but they [shy guys] are a dime a dozen, and what is going to make that 1 in 1000 girl zero in on you instead of the next shy guy? As for sensitive, it depends on how you mean it. If you mean sensitive as in feelings hurt easily, that is not attractive to anyone. If you mean sensitive as in able to relate to others emotionally, that is a gift, but you need to have an assertive side on the other hand.
Don’t make the mistake of changing into something you think is wrong, but before you can snare the kind of girl that likes… I’ll call it gentlemen, you need to somehow get her attention. That means being funny, being noticeable, having a glimmer of personality that she can see so that she has some idea what kind of guy you are. Also you will probably have to learn to read the signs when she likes you or is flirting with you and ask her out. Your chances of getting by without asking a girl out or risking rejection are very slim. Your chances once you gain some confidence, and approach women, and ask them out are much better.
So you think that all the women out there are feminists and all want wimpy partners?

If you mean sensitive as in feelings hurt easily, that is not attractive to anyone. this is the sensitive i’m talking about. And relating to other people is a social skill that all social beings have to have.
What i’m saying is that Un-confident people are being told to be unconfident and more feminine… These men Don’t have very good Male role models or if they do they are too buisy to talk about manhood. My dad is a CEO at a small company so i didn’t have much up bringing on how to be a man. I had to learn it from friends and most of all i had to find it on my own.
Betta are what gender are you? i’m not being mean i’m just currious

Downman, you’re being mean. Just because you were wimp once that doesn’t mean you can reign your “absolution” on everybody as if you’re god now. Putting labels on people is just not right.
And here’s the thing: I know EXACTLY what you are, because I, like you, use to do the same crap around forums. Mr.Know-it-all.
But fact of the matter is that, you, me and everybody else has their flaws. No one is perfectly (or anywhere near perfectly) balanced and confident. Putting tags here and there is just wrong and hopefully one day you’ll realize that. I have.
Yes, I am offended by what you’ve written, because I have been and still am fighting my low selfesteem among other issues. And in general, people don’t JUST change over night. Beign shy is NOT a trait, but rather a sickeness, but that still doesn’t mean it can be removed easily… just like that. So don’t patronize as if you had it last year, but fixed with couple ‘o pills.
On the matter:
What do girls like and dislike? Yeah, Downman pretty much said it all, but he forgot to mention that there is no perfect recipe. You throw the dice and hope for the best. And make no mistake about it - no dice, no game. It’s not easy, yeah, but unfortunately there is no other way.
Well I suppose if I say my gender now, I can have my ideas put in a box based on the answer. I haven’t seen you be mean yet, downman, as you have kept this a debate about the issues so far. Lets continue down that path.
The original question was whether girls like sensitive and shy guys. Lets not confuse these with low self esteem, or unconfident, or feminine, as these are not necessarily all inclusive. I am not sure what women mean when they refer to sensitive guys, but I am pretty sure it has more to do with communication, and less to do with being emotionally fragile.

My comment was relating to how the media portrays what a man is supposed to be. I think men are encouraged by the media and social norms to be overly feminine. Masculine qualities seem to be more and more frowned upon, or portrayed with less class. No I don’t think women want wimpy partners, I think they want partners with a spine.
Hmmm, I really like shy guys and you sound like my type. I disagree that if your shy, your wimpy. I don’t think that at all. Good luck with the girl you like :) x
You

Chill out. I never said anything about A f-ing cure. And im not acting like god sh1t. You don’t have to follow what i say. Im saying listen you need to find ballence. Un confident people are unhappy. And azzholes are well Azzholes If you find a comfortable medium its great. And the great thing about it is there isn’t any change in your personality. However confidence can give you a new outlook on life.
Think about it . You ever see some average guy with a hot chick? What was the deciding factor…Confidence. Attitude .Self esteem…If your fat and you love your self everyone else around you is going to like you for who you are. It can’t hurt to try right. Healither mindset.
