Do shy, quiet girls go unnoticed, even if they are pretty?

If there's a really pretty girl, but she is very quiet and lacks confidence, at work or uni, will people not notice her? I know the loud confident ones are more likely to become 'well known' in any uni or workplace, and quiet ones are less likely to be noticed, but does being pretty get you noticed anyway? I'm friends with this girl who everyone I know thinks is stunning, but she is very quiet. I found out she lives in the same halls as one of my male friends. I asked him and his friends if they knew her and they had no idea who she was. I then introduced them to her and they didn't recognise her at all and they were really shocked because they all thought she was really pretty and thought they would have noticed her straight away (especially since there are only about 200 of them in their halls).

Have you ever noticed this sort of thing?

No, if a girls pretty they generally get hit on regardless of their quiet and shy nature.

I think it's fair to say there are lots of girls around that are under-appreciated.

Countless times I've noticed really pretty girls who seem to be shy, quiet, etc. So yes.

No chance.

Some guy will intercept her pretty soon.

Nope. Consider it beneficial to you - if she's quiet and reserved, she's very likely to be attracting less male attention which leaves the field clear for you.

well i am extremely shy with almost everyone but i get told alot im attractive
from my point of view i get alot of male attention, but i also think guys are just after sex with me and more likely to 'try it on' because of my quiet nature. i get the feeling guys would fear rejection, be shyer with louder girls.

but i do go unnoticed also and get pretty much ignored by girls. i always end up talkin to guys more cuz they make the effort whereas girls dont.

I'm quite shy, but I don't mind not getting much attention because of it since I know that the guy that likes me for who I am, with my shyness and necroses, will be a keeper :smile:

It depends whether she has a decent personality and is up for a bit of a flirt... Quiet and lacks confidence can sound nice on paper but in reality they have to be someone you can have fun with that reciprocates!
