'Most women don't like shy men' is the title of this thread.

No different than making a thread called, 'most men don't like morbidly obese women'.

Maybe the shy men can start dating the morbidly obese women, and everyone gets a mate?

Seriously?

It's not my responsibility to give those who might not have had a "fair shake" in the dating world a chance. Life's way too short to be that philanthropic.
No, but it's a harsh reality for a large number of men. As it is there's data that shows women find 80% of men unattractive, so if you're cursed with shyness or social anxiety then you're right near the bottom of even that 80%.

I agree, It's about the same level.

Women who are obese on average have options and are hit on, so they're out of the league of a guy who is shy. It's just a harsh reality as it's up to the guy to approach.

If a shy guy was to start dating a woman morbidly obese he'd still presumably have to ask her out which isn't going to happen.

Why exactly are they awful at it? You just seem like a closed off human that is bitter about it.

.
How do you know how often women who are obese are hit on and how many options they have?

Have there been studies done on this?

A guy cursed with shyness/social anxiety has to be realistic in his expectations because he's got very low SMV. A guy who is shy and good looking is at best a 5 or 6. One who is unattractive and shy is lower than that. So a good looking shy guy's natural mate is just an average looking girl. An unattractive shy guy's natural mate is a way below average girl in terms of natural selection.

Personal experience. Obese women are hit on constantly in bars and clubs or on OLD. So if a guy who is socially awkward approaches then he's got competition with guys who aren't.
