This is it again!!
Alotta guys tend to mistake confidence for pride prolly because there's a thin line btw both and from your last line . . . . .You belong there.

Confidence and humility are two positive qualities a guy should look out for in a woman.

Hello,


        I don’t believe the other posters meant insult by inquiring age its necessary to better advise you.  However, your confidence is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.  Most guys, (assuming he is a well matured man)… like women with confidence because she doesn’t have to be continually reassured all the time. (In most cases, such women that lack confidence wants a man to always remind her of her self worth), on the contrary, a women with confidence already knows this without doubt….She also know how to spark of a conversation, how to take control and handle a situation and can pretty much light up a room, fit in anywhere,  ECT,  Let's stop here as I believe you heed my point.

On the other hand,  if we are talking of a young male say 16-22yrs,  then his definition of confidence could simply mean "swagger" the way you dress, your hair, your nails, ect,  this is my opinion but some may disagree due to cultural differences, however, I hope this helps

There's absolutely nothing wrong with you being confident of yourself, who you're, what you're all about and your general personality. One advantageous fact about it all is that, it makes matured guys hover around you; but, insecure guys will never feel comfortable around a confident woman.

Re: Do Guys Really Like A Confident Lady? by Nobody: 12:29pm On Sep 03, 2009
Personally I think guys are intimidated by confident women especially if she has her job, car and house to boot. They want a simple-minded lady who they can impress with their money. wink

No most of these women are quite ready to settle and juggle married life with their career,  Everybody has a past even Men.  wink

Well they get 2 show intentions only when time is running out on them or when they've had more than enough FUN. Yeah everyone has a past and no probs with that at all (besides ur partner shld understand that) but let them deal with it and not blame it on the present.

Maybe those are the kind of men you're looking out for. How about you look at the number of men who boast in confident women?

Do you know what it means sometimes when some people use the terminology "career woman" for some women? Well, I'm not saying these women aren't ready to settle down, but where on earth do you live? And also, are these men from the caves or simply have chosen to live in the 12th century?

Oh I meant if those are the sect of guys you're watching. Besides, a lady with job, a house, a fat bank account, assets and cars doesn't connote a confident lady. There are lots of things that make up a confident lady and the obvious one is 'confidence' and the vehement determination to break through any barrier.

I agree with your last statement, But What I said was that some guys are intimidated by confident women especially if she has a great job, nice car and a house to boot smiley

100% true
Re: Do Guys Really Like A Confident Lady? by Nobody: 2:27pm On Sep 03, 2009
I think men like women who can fairly stand up to their manly presence
without her being too overpowering or too too mushy.
Women who can think independently and considers a male advice in her decisions work well too.

Confidence or Humility?

Your confidence reflects in your personality and mannerisms. 
It doesn't have to be out there/in your face.  It can be subtle but men who know, recognize it.
There can be humility with confidence.  So being laid back doesn't mean you don't have confidence.

Missy B got it right when she said, people sometimes mistake pride for confidence.
