I just noticed you live in Germany. From what I've heard it's a much more compassionate atmosphere. You may not realize how incredibly brutal and materialistic the North American TypeA culture is. I hear what you say about shy guys and I can see how that would be true, I just have never actually seen it play out in a way where the shy guy gets the girl.
