In my book that isn't ok. Next time someone tells me I am an introvert should I tell them to go eat a turd?

I don't think it's a matter of attractiveness at all first off. outgoing people get more attention because they are out there, they are interacting, meet more people and are able to be part of the group they are in. Introverted people are not less attractive just less noticeable.
Second, I don't think anyone can nail it down to [insert feature/personality/behavior] is more attractive to [gender] There is no standard there are those women that want the quiet type of partner, there are those that want guys that are more outgoing. Whoever stated that girls in general find extroverts more attractive is being rather simplistic and generalizing something that cannot be generalized.
