RIGHT ON...now confidence in something grander than making cappuccinos lets say, is more attractive than well..makin cappuccinos. I feel that a general confidence that one can do almost anything is important to have. What goes hand in hand with that is a positive attitude, spirit and determination, u cant always "win" but u should always give ur best.
Confidence in less than worthy things can be dangerous though... Id say one very important thing a woman is lookin for is a pureness of character, high moral standing, which can be tough to come by these days (I say that like Ive been around during "other days" maybe its the way its always been with people lying cheating and stealing to get whatever they want)
Confidence or a cockiness in or about something that is not very noble or becoming of a gentlemen can be intriguing for some women if say they are deficient in self esteem, if they wish to change the guy and establish themselves and their looks as powerful or, as women do because they are more compassionate than men, give a jerk guy the benefit of the doubt until he shows them otherwise, which he almost certainly will. This becomes dangerous because a guy like this isnt stupid...he may not have a degree from Harvard (because hes lazy, unmotivated and generally out for only himself, to make money but only in the easiest and least taxing of ways) but hes street smart meaning he knows how to get what he wants and he wont care if he has to lie or act to get it. So said guy will act like hes a king...being loud obnoxious boorish etc and then every so often let a flicker of kindness or sympathy shine through for a woman, they will be intrigued. BUT he knows exactly what hes doing...thankfully this strategy does not work all the time because women are good judges of character and can usually smell a rat.
Long story short, women are lookin for a good man...nice looks, strength, humor etc are all icing on the cake, There are women and men out there that make really good matches with one another, and theyll find each other someday
