   Very good infographic and very good topic to talk about.

   …but I most say that men (although i’m not a man, but a boy) have lots of problems too. On the movies, series, books, whatever, etc. we’re seen as the one who gotta attack, seduce and flirt. The hero that must save the princess. The one that must get a gun and fight with a lot of karate masters. We’ve got to drive a car at 13514091 Kps/hour. We’ve gotta… well, you have an idea.

   And talking about preferences, I must say that introverts usually look for extroverted persons to have a relationship and viceversa. Yup, it’s true. Extroverted people usually flirt with other extroverts, but they seek for introverts when they look for a long and estable relationship.

   Good post. Great job, and keep it up.

     Thanks for sharing the male perspective, Ivo. I can see what you mean. There are so many models of the aggressive extroverted male in media these days!

   I was tired of being alone and single (10 years now) and since I do not go out and hate talking randomly with random people (witch is a basic rule of getting someone to ask you on a date) I Googled “online dating site for loners and people haters” and first link was this web page. Then I googled “introvert” and the wiki explanation did not sound like me, but this one here, this is all me. I do not like to talk (especially to more then one), (think first) I work best alone, I have multiple skills and can achieve goals quicker then my colleagues, but I think that is just because they spend too much time talking about nothing work related. Regarding relationship, I want to find someone like me, who doesn’t want to be around other people, who would be just fine having one and a same person around him to have fun, watch movies, play sports, go on vacation, stay in the house for weekend. I am a training instructor so people get puzzled when I say I do not like to talk or hang out with people outside work but the answer is simple, in classroom I am the authority, I talk, people listen. There is a room for dialog, but I have overall command. Out there, in the world, there is chaos… My biggest fear is that my soul mate is just like me, and we are never going to get together since we will never go out and risk it with people. I am alone, he is alone, we are perfect match, but we will never have opportunity to meet. Even if one goes out of the comfort zone, what are the odds the other will do the same in the same time…. Thank you for opening my eyes to yet another truth about me. I am introvert woman.

   I think for introvert men, they are depicted as disturbed “Hannibal Lector” and “Norman Bates”. That is more challenging, I think. Not saying it’s any better for the females.
