These are all things women say they want. When too many of these traits are present in a male that they are with or potentially attracted to, they often lose interest...
Or perhaps there is another reason why she has lost interest, but the guy would rather believe what you said than the truth?
Why are so many guys answering the original question? It's not like guys know what women REALLY want.

Yea, because it seems like women still haven't figured out how to tell us what they want without telling their entire life story to get a third of the way there... how are we ever supposed to know what you want if we never get anything more than an ambiguous hint?

Yeah to be honest now that I read that response I don't even know what happened there
What is this I don't even...
anyways, I guess I was trying to say it was the perception of an ideal significant other is in everyone's eye... but I for one have felt that once someone tried to assume all those typical roles at once (caring, honest, loving, tender, spoons, cooks for you, laughs at all your jokes, etc etc)... things get stale

Lots of guys know EXACTLY what women want.. the only problem is, a lot of women don't even know what they want.

I really don't know why people even generally ask the question of what women/men really want becasue EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and it changes for everyone!

Because guys can tell from experience what happens to "shy guys".

Lol as a girl giving input, I'm actually going out with a guy who is considerably shy. Honestly I thought I'd be going out with someone more outgoing but it just happened. We've been dating now for over an year and it's going great. I'm way more outgoing myself and the first few dates we had I found myself talking way more than he did causing me to wonder if he was even interested or if I was talking too much. Also there are a lot of times in social situations where he doesn't feel like interacting but I want to mingle more and it feels like I'm just kinda neglecting him but as long as we talk things out and understand each others needs more it helps us to find a balance between his shyness and my 'outgoingness'.
I think there are girls who like outgoing guys and girls who like shy guys but in the end you never really know who you'll end up falling for . And I guess it's hard to start a relationship in the first place since it's hard for you to tell her how you feel but if you really want the girl I think that's motivation enough to go for it~ But yeah, in short, there are girls who like shy guys lol~ and being shy isn't the only personality trait you have there are other things that can attract girls.
I think I sound so cheesy so I'll shut up now I hope that helps.
Well im not really really shy in social settings, but I just prefer not to talk much.
My problem is I can't really tell a girl that I like her.
Im just curious, do girls prefer talkative guys over shy guys?
by talkative i mean outgoing
Now listen to this.

Why should a woman tell you want they want? If they do, you will conform to something that isn't really you. Do you want to be dated based on a fabricated version of you based on what you think certain women want? This is not going to yield any sort of long term or healthy relationship.
If you are shy, be shy. Don't try to be something you are not. Don't waste your time or any girls time presenting a false hood. That's just ridiculous.
As many have said before, we all have different preferences. Don't worry about being shy. Other shy girls, or even outgoing girls may dig you. Just worry about being sincere. I think sincerity is the most attractive quality in a man or in any human being.

That's actually a title of a Mel Gibson movie, and is obviously a lie when it comes to him.
