Number 1) you didn't even ask properly, you kinda boxed her in for it. HUGE TURN OFF. Number 2) why not make a girl feel more comfortable and instead of asking for her number, offer her yours... That way the pressure isn't so bad, and it doesn't feel like there's too many expectations.

I like shy guys. More often than not, they know how to treat a woman a lot better and w/ more respect than the guy who's more aggressive/pro-active.

That's just my experience though.
There is no entitlement. That is like saying that I saw a cheaper price elsewhere so you should match that price also on a product. They don't have to.

You can always give them 1 800 YOU WISH. I think those shy guys are only shy at the break of ice and then it is all smooth sailing from there. Lot of them have anxiety more then the shy part.

Thanks to online dating for the shy/anxiety issues/afraid of rejection ones. You can be a online player lol
Right, shy ones are less likely to cheat by logic.

On the other hand, if that shy guy is so shy that he doesn't make eye contact, he can't hold a conversation, has awkward behaviors, etc. then that's not a great indicator of getting anything off the ground.
That is right.

I would suggest they take a public speaking class at college. It will change their lives. Mine did after that.

You know these type of guys. You're sitting there listening to some DJ run his game. Jesus, is this gal going to fall for this? Some do, I wonder how it works out on the long haul? I'm not shy at all to talk or meet people. I'm not any good at laying the smack down though. I can make them laugh. I can show them my inner and outter strength pretty easily. That won't make them go out with me though. You have to know what to say to set them off. Normal man to man chatter doesn't seem to work. Hell, I don't know anything about classical music, wine, flowers and what have you. Why should I lie about it? I'm not going to get what I am after. If they don't like me for me, p*ss on it!

Is there a bigger turnoff?

And it's true that still waters can run very deep.

What are talking about with that first part? There's not a sense of entitlement? You'd be surprised how many guys try to verbally box a girl into feeling like she has to give him her number. And when you nicely explain that you dont feel comfortable giving someone you barely know your number, you'd be surpirsed how many guys like to act nasty or play a guilt trip about it. So not cool.

This is one of the few reasons I like shy guys, most of them don't act that. You'd be surprised with how much easier it is.

Again, this is only from my experience.

No, we be fooked. Woman want men who can pound nails with their d1cks, bend iron bars from their shear manliness, ejaculate dark chocolate on a whim and cough up $100 bills while knowing at all times what the woman is thinking and wanting, never guessing, always gives woman the benefit of the doubt, always admits that its the mans fault and never looks at other woman in public.

In other words, straight woman want a gay man that doesn't act gay.

Just wondering--when they get obnoxious like that, have you tried suggesting they give you their number? I'm just wondering how that type would react to a reasonable suggestion.

I can probably do that. And I sometimes bend metal bars to make them fit or to make them easier to break.

Wow, Tron, when you posted your photo thread and asked for opinions, we gave you helpful feedback in good faith. We had no idea you were the angry, bitter type.

I like Froggie's sense of humor. You might try that. It works better with women than angry/bitter.
