Men seem to be visual, physical, direct. In women, though, the mind is the primary sex organ.
We are talking about normal, everyday people here not rich politicians, sportsmen, movie stars, businessmen etc etc. All the above mentioned have more than sufficient amount of money and fame to compensate for whatever physical attributes they are lacking.

We are talking, here, about power and confidence. What, do you relate to the local drug lord as a symbol of power and getting women?
That works, too.

Because women have an idealised man in their minds which they got from romance novels and movies that almost no man can live up to. This is why good men are cast aside while the beaters and cheaters have as many women as they want. I will not play this idiotic game which would cost me my dignity. Let others of my gender jump through all the hoops set by women for their own entertainment. It is a shame that women and men cannot accept each other as the flawed and faulty human beings we are. If this means I spend my life alone so be it. What other choice is there?

Yes it's better to spend life alone now a days than to put up with all the nagging and bitchiness that comes along in a lot of relationships. If you have money, it won't be that big of a deal if you maintain somewhat flashy lifestyle to find someone that can just be a partner in a live in relationship. Marriage these days hardly makes any sense, unless you have a desire to *********rselves and end up broke and miserable. Don't fall for marriage, it's an outdated concept that has no merit left anymore in it with the exploding divorce rates we see these days.

It's because many women are actually not 'physically attracted to men'...

They get off on social prestige, being considered 'important' because they are with an important man who commands the respect of other males and has the power to have a harem, if he wants one. They also want someone to treat them as both a princess and a sex object. That's why it's easy for some women to just 'switch' into being lesbians. Their sexual focus is on themselves, which is how nature wired them. Sadly, a lot of purported female lust for men is actually a cultural thing. Or else women would naturally say that men are sexier than other women.

Why do most female animals seem not that interested in males? The male will do the deed, and the female will just run off. Her main role becomes the raising of the offspring.

I not sure I believe half what I just wrote, I guess it's a radical theory. Please tell me your experience says otherwise, from the bottom of your heart.

How cliched.

Self-proclaimed 'nice guys' finish last. Genuinely nice guys who don't use nice as a euphemism for 'wimpy' get the girl and keep her.

It's all about looks first if you dont pass that test as a man no amount of confidence will change a womens mind..

A ugly confident guy will be called a creep or cocky a good looking one will be called confident or charming..
I'm a man but I disagree. That might be the case maybe 60% of the time, but short, fat, bald, ugly men actually do get chicks more often than you'd think.

So you can claim her, like a doe? Prove you're the dominant male?

Example 2: The caveman who steps up to fight the beast and other caveman is the best suitor for the cavewoman who wants protection. This is a "law of the jungle" scenario of practical use of confidence.

At the end of the day, most women will choose personal security and financial stability in their mate. A confident man can provide these (or at least the illusion of such) without hesitation.
Best post so far. Confidence is about being the alpha-male, or a 'real man'. That's all there is too it.

Well, a lot of men get some super idealized idea of women by models and magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse.

I guess there are enough fat ill postured and frumpy women to spread around all those guys who don't groom properly, have no ambition to move up in the world, etc.

You just have to get a picture in your mind of the woman you would like and figure out how you have to change to get her. She's doing the same, don't you think?
