I don't mind guys being awkward if they are at ease with it - I know this sounds like a contradiction but it's not. I have dated guys who were, by the world's standards, not outgoing or social or great at conversation, but who were clever as fuck, good in bed, and thoughtful, and not so entirely wrapped up in themselves.

Employment though - my personal experience is that guys (the ones I have known) need to work or they get focused on threats, real or imagined, to the exclusion of all else.
