Who's better off? A failure with an excessive amount of confidence? Or a successful man without much confidence?

Take two hypothetical people, for example.

Whos better off? A failure with an excessive amount of confidence? Or a successful man without much confidence?

The first guy literally lives in his parent's basement in his thirties and has never moved out of the house before. He's tall (6'2", 6'3"), has a long nose, and skinny. He barely passed high school and has no college degree. He works part-time at a Walmart as a cashier, but his "main source of income" is doing online gaming streams to a medium-sized audience who donates just to mock him.

He's a virgin who has never kissed a woman before, but is sure he knows 'what all women want' in a guy and acts like a perpetual Nice Guy. He's a male feminist and unironically uses terms like "toxic masculinity." He's a "proud simp" and uses OnlyFans. He's also a proud atheist. He owns one or more cats and is proud of that, including wearing cat sweaters. He's a smug, arrogant, juvenile person who believes he's very smart and has life figured out. He has an excessive amount of ego (confidence) and believes he's the epitome of what all modern men should be.

The second guy lives on his own, by himself, in a nice top-floor apartment. He's short, and has a "dad bod." He grew up poor and lower-class and worked his way up out of poverty over time. He has a graduate degree from a well-known university and is highly intelligent and hard-working. He works a respectable career helping people daily, and has plenty of money saved up. He doesn't spend his money that much, and instead, invests it saves it, or uses it for self-improvement.

He's currently single, but has been in previous relationships with women before. He's not a simp. He's apolitical and dislikes most politics. He's agnostic and doesn't think about religion much. He's a nice, respectable person, but doesn't take abuse or bullying from others. He has a low amount of ego (confidence) because he feels like an underachiever compared to those around him, had a slow start in life, and is not yet quite "rich" or "wealthy."

Which guy do you think has a better mindset?

First Guy who's Very Confident, owns Cats, is a Virgin, and Lives in His Parents Basement.
Second Guy who is Not Confident, feels like an Underachiever, Lives Alone, and Works a Successful Career.
I don't know.
