Please define confidence, as it relates to male/female dynamics. Ladies, if you find a confident man attractive, what traits must he posess, in order for you to think he is truly self-confident.

To me, confidence is simply ability to deal with the unknown. Unknown is what future holds and every person has a task of being able to handle it one way or another. Soe are paralyzed by it and others thrive on it. Short and sweet.

I've got a better definition.

Confidence is the simple belief that you have value to others, regardless of who you're with.

Self-confidence.

A manner marked by easy coolness and freedom from uncertainty, diffidence, or embarrassment. Confidence stresses faith in oneself and one's powers without any suggestion of conceit or arrogance.

That works for me.

Odd, but ok. Maybe if CDR wasnt filled with win-at-everything types, others wouldnt ask.

The key, at least for me, is that it has to be genuine. Maybe some people can fake it (i.e. the "PUA" types, though I question how many of them are actually successful), but I can't. If I feel comfortable in my own skin and good about my life, women tend to be much more attracted to me than if I don't. If I don't have those things, my efforts are much better spent fixing whatever is wrong in my life than putting on a false front in an attempt to attract women.

The feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust

you could've just used the dictionary, you know; it isn't a matter of opinion.
