Go for the outspoken / confident ones. Or at least, do not be fooled: the quiet / shy / low self-esteem types

Hmm, empirically I think this is the wrong way round. Or rather, yes, the shy girl may have emotional issues. But she is unlikely to leave you (instead become dependant). Rather it is the extrovert ones who will quickly move on to someone more interesting.

To be honest your mostly making a few gross generalisations based on some personal experience. I could pitch plenty of counter-examples from my own (and friends) experiences to invalidate pretty much all of it as an absolute theory :)



I think the error is in concluding outspoken == confident and quiet/shy == low self-esteem.
