Showing off can be a sign of bombastic insecurity hiding the underlying lack of confidence, and depending on the nature of the showing off, it can be grossly unattractive. For a man, confidence or a good impression of it is essential in dating or he will die alone, unless by sheer luck he meets a kind woman somehow... For women confidence is less important for attractiveness, just as long as you're able to carry a conversation, even if you're a little shy, it can be cute! What it IS important for is avoiding abusers and A-holes who look for the body language; women who lack confidence are targets for them because they can be bullied more easily.

If confidence comes from your strengths and self-acceptance, it's like glowing. No one would focus on your face or body because your inner light would blind them.
I experienced it a few times. I will also glow when I get enough sleep.Yeah I believe so. Confidence helps you speak. If you're not confident or hesitant your words would fumble, you'd stutter, get nervous, anxious and what you utter would not be appealing even if you are look attractive.
On the other hand, even if you are average looking but you're confident about yourself and what you're gonna speak, it's gonna make a lasting impression. What you express and how you express attracts the listener towards you.'Is confidence really THAT sexy?' No -- it's even sexier -- especially for a woman. I've dated plenty of women, and treated them like royalty, even if they weren't necessarily that attractive physically, because they were so confident, assertive and yes -- even arrogant. I guarantee you that if you act like you think every guy in town should be begging you to let him take you out to dinner, you'll be a very busy young lady;)
Not showing off! Yet a bubbly woman who is so cheerful, friendly, and gets along with everyone tends to genuinely add a point or two to her physical looks to me. Her body language and posture tend to improve when she's not at all insecure and a genuine smile always makes a woman more attractive in my eyes.
Totally true. It's the same as being a salesman. You can be a good salesman. But there is no comparison when you truly believe in the product you're selling.
Now I'm not going to blow smoke and tell you that by being bubbly and evervescent you can convince someone who doesn't find you at all attractive that you are attractive. The person has to at least find something (however small) that attracts them. But yes you can absolutely do a jedi mindtrick on them so to speak and draw their interest simply by believing your interesting.
Honestly what makes most the people who attract others attract people is the fact that humans are inherently self absorbed. Ask somebody about themselves, take interest in something about them. And they'll automatically just based on that have a more favorable opinion of you. Of course, you have to be genuine. If someone figures out you're doing this disingenuinely then they'll just consider you exploitative, or a suck up.
Confidence definitely helps a lot, and it works both ways. I'm not confident with girls and it bites me in the butt bad. I know more from witnessing it myself. Some, not many, people like shy people but they always seem to want to at least see you try and act confident.
Men have to have confidence, Men and women both need to have self esteem and self-worth (reasonable, not over-inflated) for the majority of the opposite sex to find them attractive, but men also need confidence while that's not such a requirement for women.
Showing off isn’t necessarily confidence. It can be quite the opposite if you’re doing it to seek validation. I think that when it comes to physical attractiveness, you either got it or you don’t. No amount of showing off or whatever will fix it.
To me, girls who treat low confidence as a crime are more trouble than they’re worth. It says to me that they want to be chased and aren’t likely to put in any effort if they do allow themselves to be “caught”. In other words, they’re pretty heartless.
I find other aspects of personality more sexy including sense of humor, sense of adventure, fun loving, passion, interests, and compassion.
Absolutely. People will be drawn to you.

Showing off is not confidence and yes confidence can make a world of difference
Confidence has no impact on attractiveness. Confidence comes with experience in doing something, the best women in my opinion have zero relationship experience despite being hot af and not boring.
I'd call it relaxed intensity rather than confidence, since confidence requires a prediction. The former adds attractiveness.
I guess, because if you're not confident, you're not gonna be out and about and you'll be awkward and stuff
You can be attractive, but no one is gonna care if you're not confident, I suppose... at least it's that way in my experience
Only for women confidence is super sexy. For men it just makes them look like assholes
I don't think confidence can help someone who is ugly.
Confidence can't make you beautiful, but it can bring a certain amount of attractiveness to you.. So yeah it is THAT sexy..

I’ve know people that were confident that were incompetent morons. I think when girls are young they like confidence but as women mature they like competence.
