Beware guys. This is a code word women use to justify their true intentions. They pick guys only according one or more of these 3 things A) his level of physical attraction B) the thickness of his wallet C) his social status

Yet women mask the above by saying that they like "confident" guys. But if a truly confident guy approaches them and is lacking in those 3 factors listed above, they will drop him for an non-confident guy (who has the 3 factors above) in a heartbeat.

So no, confidence does not matter. It is just something women use to justify rejecting men. "Oh him, he just wasn't 'confident'... despite the fact that he was much more confident than the guy I monkeybranched him for."

Beware of the word confidence.
