I've always been a quiet shy guy who tried to be a good person, and I was just wondering how most girls viewed this behavior.

When a guy is quiet and polite...is it attractive? Or is it sort of dull after a while? And when I say quiet, I don't mean mute. It just takes me a little longer to open up to people.

Would you like a quiet, polite guy or do you prefer somebody a little more loud and expressive?

Umm, I like loud boys becuase they make themselves know to the world and arn't afraid to express themselves. So, if I liked a shy boy, I would want him to open up a little bit. Ex. speak more in class and make jokes ALOT more often.

aw thats cute! I think quiet and polite guys are great, loud guys can get annoying after a while - but thats my opinion.



However, A mixture of both is good. But I'm sure that when you get 2 no someone u will open up as u begin to trust them fully.



Im the same, a bit quiet - but I've been told its good, sort of mysterious.



so yeh, be expressive but theres no shame in being yourself also.

I think I would like the expressive guy better than the quiet guy. Not unless if the quiet guy did a lot of art or had the same interests as me I'd find that attractive. Sometimes shy quiet guys might hold in a lot of anger though I've met a couple.. and he opened up about his ex and gave me like a whole life time of insults about her.

I like both of them really. The expressive guy would be most interesting because I'm the same way. I can also be shy and quiet sometimes but I can also be loud and expressive.

Okay. I LOVE polite guys. Girls dont want a guy who just acts like a jerk. They definantley dont want someone mute, and i know you said your not. They want someone who expresses theirselves, but isnt just mean and stupid acting. Most girls want nice, polite guys, with somewhat of a badboy style...i dont know why..we just do ;)

Being quiet can get in the way. If your not talking, they may think you dont like them. Talk to girls about anything! Stick to the polite status and try to be a little more talkative :)) Hope this helps.

That all depends. I, for the most part like I guy to keep himself under control. But, if need be, he should be able to get a little more upbeat. Polite is a great thing to be. Just make sure you know when you're being polite and when you're letting people step all over you. There is nothing wrong with taking some time to warm up to people.

my boyfriend is a quiet and very polite guy. we're almost three years and we are very happy. i guess quiet are like mysterious but when do open its interesting. like you want to know more about him. some might say those type of guys are boring but its not really true. open up alittle and once you met a girl that you really like, be yourself and dont be afraid to be loud and expressive....

i love my boyfriend. he was really quiet at first but now he learned to open up to me. relationship would not last if there is no communication so both will learn a lot in a relationship. =)

My husband was realy quiet at first. It can come off that you dont like us, depending on how you act. Polite is good, dont ever compromise that. On our date he opened the car door for me, and the resteraunt door, it gave me chills because I wasnt used to it, and theres not many men out there that do things like that! The right kind of girls would appreciate that.

Sounds like your not quiet, your shy.. That can be cute, just make sure you open up so they dont get the wrong impression. =)

LOVE a quiet, polite guy who knows how to treat a woman with respect and not use her. That is my ideal man. Hate the loud user abuser type guy....they are always trouble with a big T.
2009-03-16 18:14:13 UTC
Polite is important. With quiet it depends. If it is hard to get you to talk and hard to have a conversation with then that would be bad. I know a lot of people that like the quiet guys but you have to be sure to be fun also!

Hah. I like guys who are quiet and polite. It's very attractive to me, since I am shy too. Most shy guys have AWESOME personalities.

Well me personally. I don't like the guys who is loud and trys to flirt. i think thats retarded. me and my friends like guys who are shy and quiet but still is athlectic you know? its better to be an gentlemen to open doors and be quiet and only talk when you need to than loud behaves bad and etc. just don't be soo dull and sad looking. :D

Continue to be the nice guy,you are. Don't try to change for someone else. Be true to yourself. Some girl will appreciate you. Open up a little more is all you need to do.Its not true that good guys finish last. Good luck !!

Let me just say that polite is one of THE biggest turn on's.



You just need to have balance- know when to be quiet and know when to be loud and fun.



I find it very attractive, it shows you have maturity which is hard to find in guys these days :\



God Bless!

It's nice but I'm quiet most of the time and I'm shy so I like guys that are the opposite (it happens every time I don't know why lol)

quiet is good but don't over do it. Talk to the girls your interested in, but i think we girls like guys that are polite not jerks!
2009-03-16 18:17:02 UTC
It Depends if you Are going to say anything to the girl you think likes you. Its REALLY boring if a hot guy just sits there and never talks to you, BUT its better than being a Perverted Jock who only wants Boobies (hehehe Boobies)

I am shy too... but I usually go for whoever I see during the day that makes me interested. Being Mysterious is kinda cool. I usually go for naughty boys... lol NOT the sick way! Just the ones that get into trouble.



Anyway I would like to meet a nice, shy guy. After all, that's what i am...

It all depends on the girl! I'm definitely not one for the crazy out of control guys, but it's a big turn off if the guy doesn't have some crazy side to him.



If there's one thing I hate about a guy, its when he doesn't act himself. I'm sure if you just act like yourself you'll find the perfect girl!

Well... i would sat that's not a girls 1st choice. But i like it. I would say you would have a chance. Some girls find it cuute. Depending on the type of girl too. Every one is different.
2009-03-16 18:13:49 UTC

I think it is attractive!

I think its cute for you to open up a bit after some time! Although I like funny also.
2009-03-16 18:15:41 UTC
Calm and Polite is definately attractive, try to be a little more open, and you'd be perfect ;]
2009-03-16 18:14:25 UTC
I like my guys to be calm and polite. I dont care if they are quite just as long as they are not too quite!!
2009-03-16 18:13:15 UTC
I find it adorable!!

My ex wasn't like this though he actually had his moments when he was like this and when he was a loud, obnoxious jerk.



What I like about these guys is that they give you experience because you're the one who always has to take charge and make the first move and that's how you get experience.



Help with mine, please?

expressive is good, but if they are always reserved and you like them, how are you supposed to know that they like you or not? So most times if you don't start to warm up to them you loose interest. But if they do warm up then thats what makes you like them :-)

Awh, I think that's lovely. quiet and polite boys who try to be good people will treat their girlfriends right, and learn to trust people they are indivually close with easiar. people like that won't cheat in their girlfriends.



:) ..what a cutie...

personally i would prefer a guy that is confident and would come up and talk to me but thats because i'm shy myself and wouldn't come up and talk to a guy. But when i do talk to them, i think that quiet and shy guys are really great

keep quiet i like quiet people but thats just me..its better than being that annoying red headed loud mouth that sits next to me at my school...i want to hit her with a shovel then burry her! but thats my opinion
2009-03-16 18:15:08 UTC
Damn, we need more guys like that at our school.



I absolutely hate loud, obnoxious guys.



I like the sweet, quiet and shy ones! They are definitely the cutest. . .



Please don't change, we need more guys like you in the world! =)

I'm a prying type of person. So if you're shy, bet on me talking to you. then again, I don't want someone so shy that they ignore my attempts to converse or more.

quiet and polite is great as long as you're spontaneous and unexpected to or it could get boring.

very cute. it means that your not so 'hot headed' but if some one starts a convo like 'how are you?' and you just reply 'okay' and just stop...that is just stubbon. but other wise, yes, those quailitys are hard to come by(at least in my school) and i think it's very attractive.

2009-03-16 18:14:04 UTC
i think that those are the kind of guys i should bring home to my parents.



i mean, i like outgoing and fun but i like that too.
2009-03-16 18:15:47 UTC
it depends on if when you are like one on one with a girl. most guys are perverted. i dont like guys who arent because usually when you are talking to the opposite sex, its because you wanna like flirt with them and stuff. you dont have to make an *** out of yourself, but if you like a girl you know, when you talk to her, be sweet and genuine or pervertted, haha. from a girls perspective, we lie when we are like omggg what a perv he called me hot. we live for it.
