Confidence is more appealing to me personally. Why would I want to depend on you if you were my boyfriend if you yourself weren't confident. My ideal type of guy is someone who can protect me and help me. I want someone who is brave..

Depends on how you define shyness. If you define shyness as insecurity and being excessively-nervous or scared. That's a big no-no.
If you define shyness as humble, then that's cool. There's the good kind of shyness and the bad kind.
The same can be said with confidence. Good kind of confidence and the bad kind of confidence. With the bad kind of confidence being showy, arrogant, etc.

Even though i'm a guy, like with me i'd prefer a little of both in a girl. Good kinds of course.

Girls go for confident guys. Shy guys come off as creepy, not cute. Not to mention, it's usually the guy that asks the girl out, not the other way around. So you better man up and grow some confidence, guys.

I like shy guys, but not a pushover. It's probably because I like to do the teasing sometimes and it's just much more amusing with a shy guy. C;

As long as you're not one of those "nice guys finish last" people, you'll be miles ahead.

The first and only guy I've ever liked approached me in public asking if I was in his class. I thought that was super confident of him and immediately felt like wow dam what just happened
started liking him, had a small thing but it's over now LOL good times tho
I think shy guys are cute, but in all honesty I'm pretty sure a girl would favor a more confident boy than a shy one.

But on topic: I think a healthy mix of both would be best, but that's just me

@Billionz
I was hoping you showed up Thanks for your advice!
Almost spat my water out when I read the being into feisty chicks part LOL, yeah not really my type
That last part... are u sure we're not the same person? My exact thoughts!

Shy doesn't mean no confidence at all. Just willing to introduce yourself and to have a conversation with a girl you like would count as confidence. If you can at least do these things then you're on the right track. Let her know that you're a nice guy and let her know (in a subtle way, obviously, unless if it's a blind date) that you're looking for a nice girl that doesn't cheat nor do crazy ish.

If you're into feisty chicks, then you're going nowhere. But I don't know anything about you so I can't really give you any further (more personal) advice.

I'm not very showy myself nor am I into showy girls, and I think being able to fall in love with each other is good enough. I just want someone that's good enough for me, not for anyone else. So basically, I don't like to explicitly advertise myself to girls. I find it very challenging to boast about myself or talk myself up, and I can't stand over-confident people at all. It's not that I can't be overly-confident. It's that I choose not to. I'm overly-sensitive and I know that's a problem. I don't like to be rejected by girls nor do I like rejecting girls. I would feel very bad and sorry when I reject a girl because I know how they would feel.

@Spiritual2: oh. yea or I guess you can look at it that way haha

no girl really likes a shy guy

@Paako: Haha, good luck!

@katrie ok will do! Next time I see her I'll try to be less flustered and more natural

my buppy is a toughie guy who thinks i'm delicate and is sometimes scared to tell me things
i think it's that it doesn't matter if I'm interested first but otherwise the confident guy wins.

this guy i hang out with is shy as butts but he is sneaky sneaky with his feelings had to set boundaries with him a while back but he recently restarted the whole "you were cute today!" texts after we see each other and i can't seem to find a way to discuss it with him again. i tried starting out with "hey, we're just friends right?" but dunno how to go from there and i don't like that.

@spiritual2 Haha, I guess! but I'm pretty short so most guys are taller than me And maybe not buff but big enough that I feel safe when he puts his arm around me... but I'm not extremely picky haha

@paako awh! Yea honestly just be yourself because it wouldn't be fun if the girl's attracted to your false confidence. I can't speak for all girls, but I personally think it's cute when guys get nervous because they like the girl a lot

@katrie
I feel much at ease after hearing that!
That really explains the situation I was in last night, when I was hanging out in the city with a group of friends and one of the girls was showing interest in me. I think I was super flustered lol

Shy people can come across as boring. It simply depends on the girl, which is quite obvious. I used to be considered shy, then I gave up, and I started saying whatever I wanted. I've befriended quite a few girls since then, and it's going great. So don't be shy, because shyness is usually just a phase.

Depends if the person is physically attractive or not.

I'm glad this thread was somewhat successful, usually when we ask for female feedback we get a thread full of males trying to be funny which causes the thread to go nowhere but it wasn't the case in this one. Thanks for sharing your preferences ladies

Confidence braj

What I understood:

Men are weak to female genitalia
Female genitalia - superior race

It honestly doesn't matter to me as long as he's not cocky and annoying or so shy to the point where I can't have a conversation with him. I like both. Lol

Confident because all girls want to be manhandled.

If they say differently, they're lying to make themselves look less... you know.

@ThotsRUs: try harder to understand... it ain't difficult

i like shy guys because then i can assert authority and establish control over them.

Men should be [b]weak[/b]
Women are the superior race

[quote=ThotsRUs]Most girls are going to say confident unless they're feminists. A man should be confident, humans today lack self-confidence and self-awareness as a whole.[/quote]

really? is that way the population has been increase so dramatically in the past 100 years?

It depends on the girl as well as the guy haha.

I'd like a guy who's confident (not too confident bc cockiness is no) bc I want to be protected and stuff if that makes sense (dominance?)
But if you're a little shy when I first meet you and you get all flustered bc you're nervous like I totally get that and I'll probably think it's adorable bc I get flustered too haha

I'm usually more of a cute guy kinda girl rather than a hot guy with an 8 pack

Although it depends on the day

ps basically what @jwoy said

shy.

its cute (and i wont grow tired of that)

edit: and basically what @Jwoy said

over confident guys are annoying and shyness on guys isn't cute at all lol
