Thx for the 411. Not to offend poodle lovers.

I'm attracted to quiet types so while I could get easily choose from a pool of high quality dates, I actually had to pursue my husband.

When dating I was drawn to quiet, intelligent, practical, kind, honest men who were independant as well. Essentially, I wanted an equal and a partner in crime...not a doormat.

As to the type of woman I am: Independent "tom boy" with a nerdy sci-fi, comic book loving streak. I can work a room but am an introvert at heart and respect that quality in others. Contrary to popular belief, just because I know what I want and am blunt, that doesn't mean I wear the pants in the relationship. I know what I like and my own worth, so I didn't need a man to sweep me off my feet, or feed into some crazy ego trip. I tend to be drawn to quiet guys, so I understood early on that I'd need to be the initiator in relationships because those types of men typically take too long to make a moves on their own.

Absolutely none. Men being shy is a symptom not a natural state. A natural man is shameless, open and direct and also selfish. If you are not, fix it.

I don't think so. Many men are shameless, open, direct and selfish, but I wouldn't peg that as the "natural state" of a man. It is a choice to be that way as a man, not something preprogrammed into them by nature.

My first girlfriend approached me and I'm on the shy side. She loved how quiet and laidback I am. Not every woman wants an extreme extrovert.

Selfishness is not a good trait at all. That's not natural, it's a choice.
