I was a bit curious about this:
are there any specific indicators in a guy's body language among women that give away if he has felt popular and generally confident among girls throughout his life, so that girls who talk to him will subconsciously think to themselves that "yep, this guy has very likely felt appreciated among girls in the past"?

My guess would be a that a guy like this would have firm eye contact with girls when he speaks to them, and usually also smile at them and basically give off a very relaxed vibe among them.

I am wondering this because I have noticed that I can very often instinctively tell if a guy is a bit of a natural ladies' man, and I always turn out to be right.
So there must be something in these guys' mannerisms that I subconsciously pick up.

This is a great question. I predict you’re going to get answers from women that reference confidence a lot.

To me, it's revealed in how he discusses past relationships. One of my "getting-to-know-you" questions with guys I meet on Match.com is how their past experience has been with Match.com dates. So far all have been generally positive- one said he'd been "feral" for 30 years (divorced and mostly traveling to developing countries) and had found few women who had similar lifestyles. Another mentioned a really nice woman who, he said, wanted a sexual relationship almost immediately. If he has an Ex, does he at least discuss her in neutral tones?

Red flags for me would be negativity, lack of compatibility and failed relationships always being the other person's fault, etc. I had a first marriage that ended disastrously but overall I'm positive about men and it shows.

Im assuming you are only talking about your basic hookup and not someone looking for a relationship.

I have never dated a ladies man before so i dont have a lot of input.
I have known many guys that have trouble maintaining eye contact but also get pretty lucky. Those guys are a little cocky and not afraid of rejection. They seem to be firm believers that someone will say yes to them by the end of the night.
Confident guys are a huge turn on, it doesnt mean they have to be the life of the party but just someone that is willing to go up to a girl and start a conversation, stay engaged and not let their eyes wander.

When he wants to make you breakfast the morning after I would say that is a positive sign.

I don't know...probably being relaxed? Non-defensive? Kind of open.

People who hate women are confident as well and hold eye contact while telling them why they suck...

What does a positive experience and confidence have to do with each other?

They can. Confidence is one thing, cocky is another. And it is only one factor. This won't be foolproof regardless, or nobody would ever get into a bad relationship.

By the way, a guy looking me in the eye while telling me I sucked would NOT seem confident to me. If he were confident and I didn't want him he'd just pass me by. Defensive anger definitely comes off as insecure.

Being married for 30 years would be a pretty good indicator.

The confident guy that acts like he doesnt NEED the attention of the women he is talking to, acts like he knows hes interesting. Doesnt necessarily face her with his body, not looking at her all of the time. Typically is answering the questions as opposed to asking them. This stuff you can see, and its not subconscious, its right out there.
