Holy Fubar, my first multi-post!


And not just a double on at that! A tripler!

Wait, there are FOUR of them now! They are breeding like rabbits!

(I think I hit 'quote' instead of edit.)

I am humble-ified.

okay, so you guys are saying that self confidence is what being a MAN is all about.

But don't you think that sometimes guys put on a little bit of a show and start acting not like themselves, just caus they want to come accross as C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T......

I mean you dont want that either, so what is the best answer of how to act around women?
I think that you have to be confident but also at the same time, still be yourself.

Being confident is one thing...having an over inflated ego is completely different

can women smell fake self confidence?
damn straight we can

What would women consider worse then?
And also which type would women be less likely to date?

a) a guy who doesn't have self confidence
or...
b) or a guy who fakes self confidence.

and... is there any way to do a "good" job of faking?

can women smell fake self confidence the same way they can smell fear?

Yes, because fake self confidence often comes across as arrogance or pretentiousness. It's pretty easy to spot.

Instead of constantly questioning WHY women dig it so much, why don't you stop being a whiny retard and get some of your own so you can stop wondering about it?

both are equally worse
and... is there any way to do a "good" job of faking?

 
and also, there is a difference between:

Your overall self confidence...

and your confidence in a particular scenario talking to a particular woman, right?

I would imagine the first one matters a lot,
but how much does the 2nd one matter?

the first should dictate the answer to the second

but admit it, you could still fall for a good faker,

thus wouldnt that make 'faking' the right thing to do?

I guess I'm wondering this.. because it seems there isnt really any way to 'get' self confidence, you either have it or you don't...

i wouldnt say so...

lets say you were an alright guy... and you could ask an 'average' girl out and they would say yes...
but lets say you were talking to some really really really pretty, smart, cool person, perfect in every way girl..
i dont think you'd be 'as' confident... than if you were talking to some average girl 😉

no, you are just looking for a reason to keep your self destructive mentality yet have a justification to not improve yourself and act like you are someone you aren't. self confidence is not genetic, nor is genetics a scapegoat for low class actions

here's the thing. don't over-analyze the situation, and be yourself.

analyzing the situation makes me feel more secure.. as I'll know what to do more correctly.
You really think I'm over analyzing this situation?

This is some pretty important stuff. I dont wanna get turned down by a bunch of girls just because I didn't learn how to be "self confident", I'm learning this so I can have more success in the future.

you'd assume that about me because you relate my personality to yours or people you are exposed to, which is obviously not true. I can tell you many things about my personality but what is the point? social records are nothing ever tangibly proven...hell i can show you my friendster profile, but even that isn't a true measure of social adaptation. let's just say it's quite rediculous of you to speculate over and against something that i have actually done many times.

DING DING we have a winnar. Actually it's the same winner, you're on a roll today!
 
Because every woman wants a MAN. A true man, the kind that's rare nowdays. And confidence is one of the main pillars of a man's personality. Confidence gives birth to passion, passion to strength, strength to power, and power to freedom. True freedom, the kind achieved by the select few - the freedom most of us will never comprehend, let alone experience. It's the freedom to have anything you want. Its the freedom to go anywhere you want. The freedom to be with anyone you want.

i wasnt referring to you in particular, i was referring to a hypothetical situation:

where an average guy can talk confidently to an average girl..
but may not have his hopes as high if he's talking to a top of the line, near perfect girl.

what im asking is that wouldnt you agree that on average a man would feel more confident talking to a woman that he perceives at his level or below him, than a woman who is above his level?
