What do men think of confident women?

Question

I think I’m a pretty confident person, and some guys just seem to not like that. I’m not stuck up if anyone thinks that, I just know I’m attractive and I know what I want. Do men prefer insecure girls? Do they need to feel like they’re in charge?

We prefer women who are not combative. Self described 'Bosses', 'Divas', or 'Confident' to me sounds like an insecure person who are liable to get defensive at the slightest perceived slight. There is enough negative energy out in the world, nobody wants to come home to more hostility.

How about men and women be polite to each other and treat each other with inherent dignity and respect instead of putting up all the pretexts and performances? If you are with somebody you trust, there is no need to be 'confident'.
And men and women, when you engage in conversation, put down your damn phones!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people being confident you’re just weird. I’d love to see my parters confidence grow. I don’t know if you know what confident means but you can be respectful and polite lol

I guess it depends on what you call 'confidence'. Confidence is unspoken, it's exuded not exclaimed. If it's exclaimed it's fake. And don't ask questions you already have answers for, then we won't waste each other's time.

And there it is. Thank you for proving my point. A confident person does not have to put another person down who doesn't agree with them. You asked what men think about 'confident' woman, declaring yourself to be one. Men don't have a problem with actually confident women, because a confident person would never ask that question. A confident person already knows the answer.
I explained how 'self declared' confidence is perceived. Its a synonym for 'bitchy' and a confident person does not declare they are confident outloud. They just are.
If you were confident, why would you have to ask how it's perceived if you were not insecure about how you are coming off to others?
Self-aggrandizing declarative statements come off as 'bitchy'. And if you were confident about that, you wouldn't have asked. Asking about how it comes off, sounds insecure. So that is your answer. Real confidence is unspoken.

Confidence is always more attractive than insecurity, but humility is equally attractive. When a woman says "I just know I’m attractive and I know what I want" it tells me she may be lacking in the humility, which is unattractive.

I mean, everyone’s different. Confident men probably want confident women, insecure men probably want insecure girls. Insecure girls are high maintenance. Always gotta convince them they’re beautiful etc etc
