I know plenty of non confident guys deep down who on the outside appear confident and charming to women
Are you claiming that it is "easier" to convince women of confidence than it is guys?

No i just dont think the "confidence" is as high up for guys in what they find attractive in a women as much as women use it as a trait they want for Men..

Not that we dont want a women with some confidence and want a women whos a total wreck who has no confidence but most women are insecure about things,you rarely hear guys say confidence is the #1 trait they look for in a women you hear it from women all the time in what they find attratcive in a Man..

As i said though its kinda of a vague womenspeak term usually used for the good looking and charmers

yes, that can be a form of showing off
the more someone tries to use "stuff" to impress others (including material goods, money, name-dropping, bragging of any kind), the less they have inside in terms of character and integrity

if someone talks a lot it is exhausting, draining.

and actually, if someone is really confident, they don't need to talk much at all, their actions, attitudes, and way they walk and move in the world speaks for them, they don't need to try to convince you of anything.

if someone is confident of their ability to do life, there is no need to try to impress anyone else, so they don't need to talk much at all or sell me anything including themselves

shallow is as shallow does
if someone is confident, they don't need to use props to try and impress others
if someone is confident, they have no need to try and impress others, it simply does not matter to them

Someone unafraid of showing who he really is and laughing at his own faults. Someone who knows that whatever happens in life, he has the ability to work his way through it......someone with faith in himself and better if he has faith in a higher being......in my humble opinion.
