I dont think timid guys really deserve to get anywhere. No one is here to hand things over to them, if they can't put in the effort to raise their voice and accomplish something for themselves , they deserve to sit the sidelines.

Right, there is so much competition out there. Either you are a player in the game or a spectator.

I used to go out of my way to try to attract women. Now I'm just backing off and seeing what happens. In most situations, I'm not an aggressive guy, but if you think you can push me around or toss me aside you're going to be in for a suprise.

Some people can't help it. Not every timid guy is expecting people to hand them things. Some people, its just their personality. All they need is a little boost. They deserve happiness just as everyone else.

If you're a shy and or timid guy, its going to be hard for you. Its just how it is, I know from personal experience, I am shy and timid too. But it just means you'll have to be crafty. Learn to get the attention of women in other ways other than flirting or trying to act like a hot shot.

Do you like tricks and magic? learn to juggle. Do you like comedy? learn to tell jokes. do you like books, poetry, embroidery,art, music...anything... use your talents to get attention. If you're shy just let it show. One thing that I learned in life is that if you're shy, you can't really hide it, so just accept it. But being shy doesn't mean you can't be interesting, likable and or attractive to women.

I love this post! You're absolutely right, Garfield! I like your can-do spirit.

Notice that Garfield knows what interests women: poetry (corny, but it works!), art, music, textile arts, books. This shy guy will go far!

So basically, would you rather a guy, whom, you do not know, come right up and start flrting with you all forward and direct like? Wouldn't this be sort of a turn-off?

Or would you rather get to know a more shy guy who will actually take a bit of time to get to know you and who you are?

Even if the shy guy stands a chance, how does he beat all the more forward and direct guys to the punch, especialy when he feels unwilling and unwanting to compete with them?

I think a guy who is shy and introverted can still make friends with the opposite sex , but women like to see a good amount of confidence and assertiveness in men ; they like to see a man who is comfortable with himself and in a variety of situations . I wouldnt get into the game of competing with other men. I dont think that is necessary . But i would work a bit on overcoming shyness and the best way is to just do the opposite to it -- push yourself if you need to and in time it will feel like second nature. When you start talking to a gal you just met, just keep asking HER questions and followup questions and she will carry the conversation for you ; women like this because it shows that you have an interest. Good luck man, cause i used to be like that .

What did any timid and shy guy ever do to you for you to harbor such a hatred towards them?

They do. Women approach timid and shy guys that they like. You have to give women a chance to get to know you, though. Through work, leisure group activities, and all that.

Eh... Around 30 or 31? yeah.

But during their young years and their 20's?

No chance. Young Attractive women aren't attracted to "shy" or "timid" guys
