When is he ready? How much confidence does he have to muster? Is confidence overrated? Its not like girls can sense a guys confidence when hes walking down the street. And I know for a fact men in relationships or at least successful with women aren't confident 100% of the time.

A man is going to be percieved diffently for each woman he encounters. Doesn't matter how confident HE feels about himself. If THAT particular woman doesn't see him as worthy does it really doesn't matter? I feel like im confidemt in myself as in i kniw myself and what I can and can't do. But it just seems like thats not enough. A big insecurity of mine is i still livee with my garandparents at 22 and I don't think a girl would be too forgiving in that aspect.

I know that a woman living at home at this age isn't really a big deal considering nowadays a good chunk of Millennials still live with their parents but it just seems like guys who do are at a disadvantage because women are attracted to status.

When other people say women want men who are basically a little better than them, apart of me doesn't want to beleive it but I'm trying to be realistic and I think back to all my interactions in school. And i gotta give myself some credit. Even When I feel brave and get a number of just talking to an attractive female that confidence isn't there all day.(being bipolar probably has something to do with it.)
