Shy guys are boring, they'll take the position of the girl while the girl will take the position of the guy.

They lack confidence in the masculine world. Where men do things, they'll shy away from it.

Shy guys can not lead, they'll always be sidelined by the hard reality of life.

bro depends on the individual. They are some very real men that are shy, the control their home and woman perfectly and they are good and calculated risk takers too...I know of one prof and many more

Exactly!!!!!!!They are the best husbands...... Problem is, I can't seem to find them.

Please do not, I repeat DO NOT marry a shy guy, he will bore the hell outa you.

ggirl4real:

Point of correction o. Extroverted guys do not have bad habits, it's just dat dey r very open, dey don't pretend abt anytin bothering dem, dey tell u wen dey r angry and all of dat. An introvert who is angry wit u may stil b smiling wit u but deep inside, he/she is boiling

Correct...Please dont marry an introvert o, he'll bore you out and frustrate ya life

Okay love...sweetdreams to u also

I believe with some accomplishments and some cool money. The shy and introvert guy becomes that ideal man for any woman...#fact

BlackHuman:
I'm an Introvert....because of my nature different people form different opinions of me-...I've once heard someone say to me; "you're too proud"- I don't mix and talk with everyone like most extroverts would expect...infact, in church today; after service I sat quietly in my seat waiting for the workers' meeting to begin. When my unit leader came to tell me to stand and just talk and mix with people,- in my mind I was like- "what d 4**k am I supposed to say"?,"is it necessary?"...i don't like talking except there's somtin important to say, i'm not d kind dat talks "just to make d place lively",i don't mind long silences, Infact we can travel from lagos to Ibadan together in a vehicle and I won't even mutter a word.....and also i'm tired of hearing friends and family tell me- "hey u no fit even call person since all dis dayz"-In my mind i'm like-"call u for what?"....in my phone there are numbers i've not called since like 3yrs ago...I'm not d kind of guy dat calls "just to sat hi"...it's not like I'm proud, or a dullard, it's just not part of my character.....but I don't have anything against the extroverts, infact I love them, they're entertaining eventho, they could somtimes say downright odd and embarssaing things like dry jokes, and pointless statements.

And you are proud of all these?? Men, I pity ya life o

Did you say they don't drink? I can say I am an introvert but I like being ''high''. Facial look can be deceitful as well, I can't remember the number of people my cool, gentle face has deceived but I am a very tough guy inside. Some introverts can empty 60bottles of beer within 60minutes. Lol

OliverPin:
Today they like shy guys. In the evening now they will say they like funny guys who can make them laugh(shy guys are def not funny) Tomorow they will say they can't approach guy but only give green lights(since most shy guys can't approach girls). Next tomorow they will say they need guys who can keep a conversation going on( mostshy guys can't), next year they will say he must be tall............ These girls are confused oooh

dont get it wrong Bro, introverts are thinkers;thinking doesnt make dem mumu o, they pay attention to little details,very sensitive and which make dem intelligent. dey are very selective nt that dey dont know how to ask a lady out. A trained Introvert leads better than a trained extrovert because dey are deep, consistent, and are very good at solving problems. D Op is not convinced like u asserted, she is very very right.

I'm like laughing seriously now. All in attempt to defend introverted people you lied and defamed extroverts.

Where is your source of information? Where's the research?

That introverts think deeper than extroverts, that introverts have contributed more to the world and that introverts rule the world.

Can you define the word "shy" and compare with confidence please.

Abeg stop speaking without facts.

Extroverts are empty vessels? Duh!

bro, try and read psychology related books, books on personality... Either introvert / extrovert, no personality is useless. Besides, most pple have mixed traits.

#Op, do shy nd introverted guys like shy and introverted girls? Am kinda like one...

of course YES because;dey prefer being with some1 similar with dem,some with dia type of character because dey are very selective. Dey are straight4ward, conscientious, though very picky, but when they earn ur trust, u have a friend forever. Like myself, I always go along with pple that are reserved.

sucobaba:
I had to pause a bit while reading this thread because i thought OP was right behind me lol..kudos OP..you're so so on point but i guess i'm an exception to certain characteristics.(you won't find me regularly in a church but if you're "blessed" to..i dey rock sekem,alingo,shoki,etigi "codedly" without any unwarranted attention lol.

I equally went from page 0 to the latest post and i enjoyed myself..all folks speaking from experience,let me also add mine (from experience and also from other folk's opinion i concur with)...

Advanced Introvert yes..shy..NO.

Most of my kinds
1.are very sensitive..don't like to hurt anybody's feelings esp ladies

2.live a triangular live-school,work,home like someone said

3.are trusted easily..people feel comfortable around us and as such they trust us completely.we on the other side try as much as possible not to "fall their hands"

4.are living secret blackboxes..because we're easily trusted,we are living harddrives of secret boxes..suffice to also mentioned that we are also secretive in nature (plus or minus depends of which divide you find yourself).we get bombarded with secrets..you can be rest assured your secrets are safe with us lol

5.can cook...because we avoid too much attention,going out to get cooked food is usually a turn-off..so we can pretty much cook (not the boiling water,indomie things o..pretty upscale like soups,all those "hand to mouth" etc *wink*)

6.are tech savvy..for me...i love techs.i love doing repairs ..electrical,technological,just name it..we are pretty resourceful.Nerds,geek,carpenters,electricians etc name it.

7.are ready made shoulders to cry and lean on.

8.are easily friend-zoned..we mostly miss out on "opportunities" due to too much "support".Only few of my kind enjoys the tag of "friends with benefit" lol

9.loves cool colour...we usually love cool colours (black is my favourite colour) because we don't like to draw "unsolicited attention".we like it low key and "i can't shout" lol

10.last to speak..because of our nature,we are often the last to speak making it possible for us to be termed "wise and intelligent".Truth is..most of us ain't brilliant but because we usually speak the last..we easily merge Mr A's ideas to Mr B's to give off a "finished product" answer...patience is a virtue lol

11.are usually church "bench warmer"...we usually made sure the church seats are always warm lol,

12.are survivals and endurance level is high ..we hardly complain,we eat and spend when we have..we also manage as well and even the next neighbour won't notice anything lol.if nothing dey too..no one knows cos we believe when we were enjoying the good life..we didn't disturb anybody.

13.are very principled and disciplined

14.reads alot and wide
15.are usually laid back..we can travel for 6hours without starting a conversation with the next person beside us lol

16.don't woo random lady for the first time...we believe its disrespectful like someone said earlier.we believe starting as friends..then just maybe taking it to the next level.

17.don't "chase" someone's wife or lover..the moment we hear someone is "hooked"..its a no-go area for us we also expect such "respect" from others towards our wives and lovers.

18.are very selective..we are usually very selective in either choosing our friends or the company we keep.i personally don't greet everybody (good or bad..thats my config)

19.are very romantic and sexually "wired"...our wives and girlfriends are usually blown away with our "bedmatics" skills such that they are like .."never judge a book by it cover" lol

20.spend more times with our partners indoors

21.are good dancers with great voices..in our comfort zones,there's no better singer/dancers.We pull all dance moves we have seen together to create a bank of deadly moves..pls don't try us,our wives and lovers are our only audience lol

21.are very faithful even with our gadgets...aside with our partners,we can rock a phone/gadget we love for years when others would have changed theirs like 20times lol.

Source:My advanced-introvert experience (hope that word exist)

are u a witch or wizard?lol.u're 98%right except 4 no 19 and 21.i cnt dance 1bit.i prefer 2write a 21pages open letter 2 a 2minute dance.as 4 no:21,i jst cnt imagine myself saying all thos romantic statement.imo its jst unnecessary waste of time bt sadly dts wat mst ladies wnt 2hear.as for no 22,i dnt lyk changing phones.infact i'm stil using my nokia 3110c sinc 2010.i'm vry faithful to it.

You're getting me wrong, I didn't say introverts are dull people. Remember she said shy.
when you're shy, you lack confidence. The opposite of shy is confidence. So they lack it. And you know, ladies love confidence.

Introverts in romance are boring and live a calculated life.

Sorry, someone being extrovert doesn't mean they aint good thinkers too. Being intelligent doesn't make you live a solitary life. Doesn't make you shy.

An extrovert can be intelligent and also relate well to the general public. Because he communicates with a lot of people, he learns much about how the society works. The real thing that is happening.

Dont get it wrong, all people have mixed traits with varying degree... Am more of an introvert with an extrovertish mixture. Am reserved and gentle most times which doesNT mean I Lack confidence. I have a Choleric secondary. And if you think introverts are mumu like it says from ur assertion,pls step on dia toes and u wld know what dey do not lack confidence. if introverts lack confidence, then Bill Gate wont be where he is today... try and read books on personality. Being reserved doesnt mean lack of confidence.

cryptography:

Bill gates is a hard core nerd - he has currently impacted on 72 million lives

variety is the essencr if life. there are wonderful introverts, so also wonderful extroverts ....... no particular group wins

abi jare....
the topic of personality is a very wide and interesting one!
Pple shldnt just make a superficial look at it. Being an introverts doesnt make one mumu like most extroverts think.

When u read books abt personality, u wont only know much more about urslef, u will know how pple are d way dey are, why dey take some certain decisions, how to use ur Strenghts to work against ur weaknesses.
Deep knowledge on personality also helps to manage pple and lots more...

@OP am. shy guy, infact, being shy is my hobby..

plaetton:

Yes, I am an introvert. I get dizzy in a crowded and noisy place.
And yeas, I would rather play a mentally-tasking video game than to talk or listen to someone talk about a celebrity this or nollywood that.
And yes, this aspect of our lives, our short attention span for vain and ephemeral things, makes us seem boring to others.


Most of all you said above is true, except the confidence part.
Introverts are very sensitive and empathic to the moods, gestures and feelings of others.

An introvert is less likely to stop a cute babe on the street and start toasting her. To him , this would be disrespectful and might convey misleading message about his character. He would prefer to first of all get the green light, then strike up a conversation with a lady in a much more friendly atmosphere in a less threatening and more respectful way.
To others, this sensible and rational approach might seem like a lack of confidence.

In my clubbing days, my extrovert friends would toast like 5 or 6 girls in any given night, with only a less than 10% chance of hitting a homerun with one.
On the other hand, I would probably zero in on only one babe, whom also, I was sure had an interest in me ( smart women seek out introverted men )
So statistically, my scoring average was way better than my extroverted friends.

abi nao, tell them bro...
Most extroverts believe that being reserved means Lack of confidence. Due to d nature of introverts, dey think b4 doing things, thinking deep doesnt mean we dont know whats next. Introverts hate making mistakes, making mistakes breaks dia spirit, introverts just have to think b4 doing things, its dia nature. Either Introvert/ extrovert, both makes what Life is today.
PS: people have varying degree of temperament. But d point is you are what u are most of d time. Training oneself makes one overcome ones weaknesses.
