Prefer introverts.

I always thought I’d need/want an extrovert to balance me out. But after having dated introverts, it’s comforting having someone understand me from the start.

I only like introverts. Sorry. It's a need, not even a preference. Just like a cactus likes few waterings to be vibrant healthwise.

I hear you. Extroverts are hard to bear lol. But some are self aware enough to know when to leave us alone.

I always thought I’d prefer introverts, but my husband is an emotionally aware extrovert. I can have in depth conversations with him, but he also knows all the gossip so I’m finally not the last person to find things out.

We are both introverts and it works for us. We get more than enough human interaction at work and neither one of us is pining for more social interaction even during COVID work from home.

We both like to read, workout, enjoy the outdoors, home projects, etc.

He is smart as hell, highly motivated/ambitious, has a wicked sense of humor ....and he has no desire to share that with anyone but me! He’s not clingy - we both travel for work, which really makes us enjoy our time together ♥️

I recall reading an article where among the heterosexual couples surveyed, the happiest relationships were those with an extroverted man and an introverted woman.

I’ve had success dating both introverts and extroverts, I think the main factor for success is having the ability to take time I need for myself and having my partner be cool with it.

There are some introverted guys who are clingy and won’t give me the space I need. Likewise, there are extroverts who can keep themselves entertained and I can pop in and out of their social functions as I please. I suppose, like all things it comes down to the individual.

I prefer introverts. But it is also important that they use alcohol as a social lubricant at just about the same level as I do.
