Search Results: confidence is important in a girl

I ask this because I consider myself a decently intelligent guy. I do very well in my college courses, and research novel antipsychotic drugs with a professor on campus. I also tutor German (which I am nearly fluent in), Neuroscience, and Organic Chemistry for extra money on the side.

However, I do have a low self-esteem and doubt myself often. As a consequence, I feel like I'm invisible to the girls on campus. In juxtaposition, I see seemingly empty-minded guys who have all the ladies and confidence pouring from them like Niagara Falls.

So, which is more important, smarts or confidence? Or do looks matter the most?

Please be honest. You won't hurt my feelings.

This 5'2" Russian teenager - who also likes to take topless pictures of herself, and to cosplay as Chun Li in her spare time...
... holds three world powerlifting records. Ms Vins says: "People know me as 'muscle Barbie' - I like this comparison. It's nice. I have these big, beautiful eyes and wear make-up. But at the same time, I'm strong. I can deadlift 180kg in training. For me, there is no limit. I want to become as muscly as possible. Many people have tried to knock me down but my training has made me strong - both physically and mentally."

Her appearance divides the opposite sex. "Everyone has an opinion on what I look like - they either respect my work or reprimand me for being a muscly girl," Julia says. "But to be honest, I've noticed that the guys who are negative about my athleticism - are just jealous." Before she took up powerlifting, the naturally slender girl felt like she never had any purpose in life. Here's her back then, as a 15yr old back in 2011:
"Because of my facial features, people have always said I look like a doll," she said. "And I was a good, academic girl for so many years. I studied music, was well-read, participated in various school competitions and was skilled at art. But I never felt like I had any particular objective in life. My body was not in harmony with my soul - it wasn't the right one for me. I thought I might see if I could build some strength and confidence by weight training at the gym... I started powerlifting. I loved it! I knew then that my goal was - to build muscle."

Julia feels it's important to look sexy even when she's pumping iron. "I always wear make-up, even when I'm squatting. I think it's important to look attractive in any situation. I make sure my hair is done up in cute plaits and ribbons. I like fashion too but it's very difficult to find nice clothes as my size is not standard."
So, do you think she's managed to pull it off? On a scale of 1-10, how high would you rate her?
