Hate to break it to you.



It's more how you carry yourself. If you hold yourself like you are comfortable with yourself and you don't give off any anxious vibes, you'll have a better chance. There are ways to improve your face as well. No one says you have to look like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling (whom I swear I have seen a completely insecure version of and I get the vibe that he struggles with women, somehow). However, if you look like you are really taking care of yourself, regardless of face, then you will have at least one woman interested in you.

Heck, there are quite a few pretty faced guys that women seem to be choosing me over. This is probably due to me looking more "able" than them.

Confidence is knowing that nobody else's thoughts or feelings affect your perception of yourself and who you are, and being able to portray that outwardly.

To be comfortable enough in your own skin that you put others around you at ease.

confidence is being comfortable in one's skin, to be independent of trends, to not need approval from others to do something...confidence is being with oneself and the company you keep....
confidence is not caring what others have or wear, but being inedependent in self and feeling good with the decissions you make, admitting you will make mistakes, not being afraid to speak your mind, and feeling good towards life, love and happiness.

I can usually get one woman interested in me.

But can you be sure that your 'confidence' is not just self-delusion?

Good post and overall clear analysis of what is really going on. Women couldn't careless about confidence, but they say they want "confident" men in order to mask their true desires so as to not be seen as shallow or superficial. Otherwise, good looking shy/insecure men would never get approached and all the attention of the women around them as they do, while all it would apparently take for the undesirables to get women interested in them is to gain "confidence". Makes for a good hollywood movie, but it's not at all realistic.
