In Praise of the Shy

What women should really be seeking and searching for is the guy with the glasses who hasn’t looked up from his glass while his better-looking friend has been hitting on anything with breasts around him.  You want a guy who will treat you like the queen you feel you deserve to be treated as, then this is the guy you want.  This is the guy who probably hasn’t had sex in multiple years.  While you complain about a dry spell of a few days or weeks, this guy is wondering if he is ever going to touch a woman again before it’s the nurse changing his colostomy in the nursing home.

Why do you want this guy?  Because this guy knows that finding a woman like you is rare, at least for him.  So, he is going to do everything and anything he can to make sure you are happy.  If you like flowers, he will buy you bouquets every week.  If you like jewelry, he will hawk his comic books and Star Wars figures to buy you more gold and diamonds than you ever wanted.  Plus, he is likely very good in bed.

First off, the confident guy is probably trying to compensate for something.  This is particularly true if you find out he drives either some kind of sports car with a  removable top or a motorcycle.  He is trying to dazzle you like a magician so you don’t notice the mundane thing that barely dangles between his legs.

The shy guy, though, may be packing heat behind those jeans that have been out of date for about ten years.  And it is likely behaving like some caged animal because, well, it’s been caged for years and it’s hungry and it wants to please.  It is just waiting for you to let it out.

Secondly, when he wasn’t writing computer programming or talking excitedly with his other geeky online friends about “Lord of the Rings” or the “Renaissance Faire” he was thinking about sex.  Oh yes, that geeky guy there with the inhaler and the poor skin is the guy who has spent nearly every spare minute fantasizing about how he was going to please you in bed.  Plus, as I mentioned, he is probably more pent up than Mount Vesuvius and he is more than willing to mount your particular Vesuvius in order to release some of that tension.

Too many women fall for the confident guy with the swagger and perfectly-coiffed hair and then wonder why it only lasts about two months.  Then, after they swear off of men for about half a day, they wipe their tears and end up back out in the singles scene looking for exactly the same man over and over again.  And each time Mr. Confident comes in, sweeps them off their feet, drives them around in his fancy car, and then gets bored and moves on to some other girl and they are left wondering why.  Because Mr. Confident is about as deep as a puddle left drying in the Texas sun, that’s why.  He is more passionate talking about sports with his friends than having a conversation with you.

The geeky shy guy, though, well, he’s wiling to listen to you talk at length about your girlfriends.  He is also likely to actually be listening.  And then he’ll be ready to rock your world once bedtime rolls around.
