To like a “man of few words?”

[YourCandidFawn]

I know some people see it as cold, emotionally unavailable or even a red flag but I actually find it calming. I don’t mean rude or silent, just thoughtful, reserved, and not constantly talking.

AIBU to find comfort in quiet confidence - even if it’s not the loud, chatty, emotionally expressive kind?

The world would be a better place if more men knew when to shut the fuck up.

You can like whoever you like, obviously, but I'd beware of seeing someone as the strong, silent type when in fact they're so mentally inert they're practically comatose.

Depends whether you like conversation or silence really.

I like conversation, think it’s fundamental to a relationship having any depth tbh, and being married to the silent type means conversation starting is just another job that falls to me.

I know what you mean but it wouldn't be for me. I like a man who is emotionally intelligent & can communicate well.

I love a man who is an excellent conversationalist, funny & engaging & able to function in social settings.

I'm not into second guessing a silent brooding type & I would hate to be in silence the majority of the time.

But if it works for you definitely go for it - there's loads of them around.

I was married to one of these. It was soul destroying within our home situation and mortifying in social settings. I then went on to marry someone who never stopped talking and it's equally frustrating in another way. Middle ground would have been nice.

I prefer conversation and someone who is silent or emotionally inept is only ever going to have a surface level interaction with you. So you can probably talk about what you want for tea but they won’t be there to support how you’re feeling after a difficult day or life event.
Oh and quite a few use silence or ghosting as a tool to emotionally abuse you if you step out of line so no I disagree. Not for me.

I have one. He’s ace.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - would recommend.

I would consider "a man of few words" snd "a man with a quiet confidence" as very different in most cases.

I love a quiet confidence - humble but self assured, doesn't need to brag or boas, content with himself.

A man of few words is unattractive to me. I like conversation, open, emotionally intelligence etc. I would bored someone who said very little tbh.

Ted & Ralph?!

I like someone who has something to say and shows an interest.
