Why do some people think bragging/showing off is attractive? (Page 2)

[Boberston]

Honestly speaking.. I'm so glad you've asked that! I've been wondering the exact same thing for ages.

[kendriti-drip]

Confidence is most definitely attractive people are drawn to confidence. But bragging and cockiness isn't cute at all.

[demonics]

*Confidence
And women value it above looks.

Why do some women think they speak for all women? Hoo boy now there's a good topic.

[eazycat]

wait bro, you just generalized women by saying women value confidence above looks then called her out for generalizing her gender. Not saying generalizations are good in any case, but this was a bit hypocritical

Receipts.

[eazycat]

but you said women. Just because many women prefer confidence and it's more common and expected (and to clarify, bragging is not inherently confident) does not mean all women do. I enjoy confidence, but ik plenty of women that only go for shy guys. You said women value it above looks, making a generalization. That's my point.

@eazycat

General statement- is a sentence that defines or declares some large and overarching truth.
Overgeneralize - to generalize beyond appropriate or justified limits.

there's a difference. My generalization has evidence. The authors overgeneralization does not.

[Guthm]

I'm not bragging person , but I feel it's work with some guys.

[tech88815]

I think it might be because more people dont know who they are or what they want.

Where does the idea that people are doing this because they think its attractive come from?

[Slim57]

I don't know why people think most things they think are attractive are attractive

[GayLoner]

You’re asking a community of social degenerates their take on matters of alpha dominate behavior. Women too like men are alpha beta or zetas

[lofii]

You dont like guys who brag?

[beebella]

It's an unattractive quality.

[lofii]

I will not brag again about my Lego collection then 😔

[beebella]

Thank you, señor.

[wankiam]

because they haven't read ''the spectacle''

[CarpetDenim]

I don’t think it’s attractive but I do it anyway

[Anonymous]

It is, you just call it bragging and say it's unattractive when it fails.

[alice55]

Showing off can be cute

[kangy]

bragging means the person has low self esteem

[TadCurious]

I think it pumps up their ego.

[CT_CD]

Bragging/showing off is attractive

[blondfrog]

Yeah some men and women do for some reason.

[moonpie89]

It can be funny sometimes.

[OddBeMe]

They lack confidence and need other’s validation.

[LexyIsSexy23]

No idea braggers have nothing

[jakeofalltrades]

because it has worked for them in the past.

[DanOh2018]

Hmm it's only good when it comes with jokes.

[7771999]

[Joker_]
