Yes. I think it's very cute. But it depends on the type of shyness. It's difficult to explain, but I find a girl who is so shy that she'd want to pass out every time someone asks her a question a turn off (that's an exaggeration, but I hope you get my point).

It also depends on other attributes, mainly personality. The desired personality varies quite a bit between guys...so there isn't really a 'right' personality in general. but if you have the right personality for specific guy, you can do wonders. You can drive a guy crazy even if you don't have the 'looks'. He may not admit it, or make his feeling public, but he will have some sort of feeling for you. I once got to like a girl based solely on personality, not looks. In fact, I hated her the year before, and I didn't find her attractive. But once I got to like her, she began to look like the most beautiful in my eyes. Personality is key...everything falls into place after that. (Of course, be realistic. This won't be the case every time. But you know what I'm getting at. It's possible to win a guy over without looks playing a role).

Anyways, I got off track. Shyness, to the right extent, in the right girl, is really attractive.

EDIT: ^Imo.

Here's the difference between guys liking shy girls and girls liking shy guys: shy people tend to make "hints." Girls catch onto hints pretty easily. Guys are pretty dumb. We don't get hints... and it's the outgoing girls that catch our eye first. Why? Not necessarily because of looks, although physical attraction makes a difference; but because guys I find have a natural "dominance" tendency; that is, we naturally like girls that we can be proud of. Just being honest -- most guys, whether consciously or not, would like a girl, whom by dating, other guys would be jealous. Those generally are the more outgoing girls. And we fight over them. Because we're morons.

Shy girls -- you've gotta make up for being shy by being direct. I'm impressed by girls who ask ME out, or ask for MY number -- it shows confidence, and it shows that you actually are interested in me. Don't go into the friend zone, just find some courage (NOT the liquid kind) and just ask the guy out for something casual. Chances are, if you feel some chemistry, he probably likes you back.

Awesome video. Awesome song.
(One of the rare music videos that doesn't only show a band singing. It actually tells a really good story).

There's nothing inherently attractive about shyness.
I would explain why people are saying it is, but I don't want to be rude.

I think that pretty much sums it ALL up.. And I've gotten the same sort of idea from quite a few friends.. Sad, but true..

I try to break that mold though. I'd like to think I'm not like most guys. I mean, yeah I need to be proud of the girl I'm dating, I mean who doesn't need to be? It's a confidence thing and I hate guys that aren't willing to take the girl they're dating out with their guy friends if she wants to. "Bros before hoes" is the dumbest ideology of all time.

I, personally, like shy girls a lot of the time. I like "cute" girls. There's a specific way a girl acts or looks that I find attractive.
