It's not confidence. It's dominance.
Women are only ashamed to say the word "dominant" because they were convinced by feminism it's abnormal/sick/regressive/shameful to have traditional gender roles in a relationship.
Yet here's our curse, it's all we really want. It's why they regurgitate bullshit, long winded explanations about "confidence". Explanations which can be summed up by that one word they are so afraid to say.

You can be the most earthy, confident man in the world. If a woman is in charge of you, if you play "compromise", she won't be attracted to you in the long run. She'll make you her bitch and move on once she has succeeded, and all the attraction between you is gone.

Because confident men know what they can do and what they want, and they are going to do what they want to do to get what they want. They are not going to let others tell them they are worse because they know what they can work on and do better on already.
You just feel a sense of security when you're around them. It's like them telling you, "C'mon, it's going to be fine. I'll take care of that." It's a vibe that they give out and pull you to admire them.
The man I'm seeing now is confident, and I can literally just sit there and look at him doing his things and be happy. I enjoy looking at working men who are concentrated and know what they are doing.

I'm attracted to a confident man because I'm a confident woman. I don't like to spend my personal time with people that don't have things in common with me (mostly my core values). I have been attracted to men that aren't that confident in the past but it hasn't worked out because the men start perceiving me as too strong for their taste. So to save everyone some heartache (mostly me), I just try to choose wisely now.

Confidence is a sign of strength and assertiveness. These are masculine traits that used to be ideal in a mate back in ancient times, and while they aren't as important now they're still a nice trait as confidence usually shows someone is reliable and etc.

It's a woman's nature to find an ideal mate, and confidence used to be a very strong indicator of an ideal mate. It'll continue to be less important in selecting a mate, but it will probably always be there to some degree.

There is power in confidence.

You are bound to be more decisive, you do things your own way without being led by peer pressure, you exude an aura of self-awareness that says, "This is who I am," and because you love your own being, others are drawn into you. You will become a magnet of not only attention but of admirability, and people will share your comfortable attitude and be more open to you.

A confident man is an attractive man in that way.

There's so many different ways to be confident. A guy's intelligence can fuel his confidence, as can his physical attractiveness, his ability to make people laugh, his ability to make friends with others, his ability to command attention, to lead, his ability to brainstorm solutions, etc. So many different positive qualities can give a guy confidence. So it's not just the confidence women are attracted to, it's what is driving the confidence.

I think its just in our DNA. Also a confident man, usually has good social skills and thus, stands out. They know how to flirt, and who doesn't like that? We dont have to try to read their mind, which simplifies things. Anf as someone else wrote, they have a more positive energy than those less confident. Someone with low confidence suggests they have a lot of personal problems, stress easy etc which would transfer over to being in a relationship with them.

My reason is that I am a little bit shy so i love it if a man is confident and fun and has good social skills. I guess I appreciate those things so much because I don't have them in me and I tend to look up to the people that does. I don't mean I feel like he's above me because of that but I just fancy guys that are confident in their own skin and doesn't mind what everyone thinks about what they say or feel. (unless they are rude that's a turn off)

Overly confident, no...cocky is annoying. But some confidence in themselves..yes.
People who have no self esteem and hate on themselves all the time are such negative energy.

They're more manly to me as long as they're not arrogant. :)

I believe the word confidence is a made up word. Come one no women or girl is going to wanna date an ugly guy no matter how confident he is or seems. Its 99% looks 1% confidence.

[TouglyforaGF]

I can be confident until I'm blue in the face and still be rejected so why should I act confident? My username should be a sign why I'll always remain single.
