I think the trick is to be shy enough to turn on the mothering instinct while being open enough to actually be able to talk to them. I do find myself more attracted to humble, shy guys. The loud, brash, annoying ones full of ego - no, yuck.
That makes alot of sense actually. I dont have much of an ego cept when im trollin. I suppose i could come off alittle conceded lol. I remember when i was shy. Perhaps there was a bit of mystery to my shyness that made the ladies want to see whats there.
