It depends. Usually they prefer someone slightly different but I'm just speaking from personal experience as a shy guy.

I personally would want someone inbetween really. Not really cocky, etc, but not cripplingly shy either. I want someone who can help me gain a bit more confidence, and I don't think that would be possible if I was with someone who was as shy (or worse) as me.

Opposites should be together imo. Two shy people will never accomplish a coherent relationship, there has to be a crazy flamboyant person in the realtionship.
My problem is that shy guys never seem to really like shy girls. Personally, I'm a shy girl who definately prefers men with a shy nature.

I can't stand when guys are very confident. Especially when they're really good at approaching. If someone I've never even made eye-contact with before comes up to me and reels off a line, as original as it may be, I find it an absolute turn off. I'd rather be at level-pegging with someone I'm in a relationship with, someone who also prefers to hang back and observe the ways of everyone else, rather than participating in the dominant - submissive drama of normal people.
The problem is that a shy guy is not going to make the first move (hence why he's shy...) and the shy girl is definitely not going to make the first move. You need a third person to bring these two people together :biggrin:

But I'd say shy guys definitely like shy girls!

Its true I like a shy boy and I made the first move.
I'm a shy guy and I like shy girls but I'm obviously too shy and anxious to make a move. When I finally mustered up the courage to approach a girl, she stopped coming to class. That's my life...

You're shy? I always got the impression you were cool :no:

I suppose I will have to post something relavent now...

OP If you're a shy guy/girl - I would have thought your focus would be on dealing with your shyness rather than hoping shy girls like you back - all kinda seems self defeating. I mean the fact you are asking this question seems to suggest you have no intention of gaining confidence, rather you are hoping someone will be just as socially awkward as you, and still likes you.

This is assuming you are asking from a personal perspective rather than out of sheer curiousity.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Oh, Hell. Yes they are.
'Shy' sounds like a really strange word after this thread, I've never said it so many times in my head.

Anyway. I don't know if I'm shy, but I disagree that they aren't cool :hmmm:

:rofl: Well shy people can be cool, but not as cool as they could be if we take the opposite of 'shy' as being 'confident' - one is definitely preferable over the other.
