Confidence is overrated as an attractive quality

More confidence is never really going to do any harm provided one still remains something of a 'real' person and can convey vulnerability at times necessary for deeper intimacy.

But yes, it's not linear, there are somewhat diminishing returns once you're 'confident enough', but it will never truly level off as confidence itself leads to taking chances, which effectively means the more confident, the wider the net will always be cast. I don't buy that this means the more confident people become, the more likely they are to be sidetracked by challenges and therefore start hampering their effectiveness. Human nature inherently prefers paths of lesser resistance if the end result is equal, even if someone's capable.

Some guys like the chase though. If you can get successful/good things out of a bigger challenge, it can be more rewarding to some.

Completely differs from my opinion. Confidence can make up for a lack of anything in most cases, if you portray yourself in the right light then things usually end up going better than you would expect.

"I’d rather look like a male model and have moderate confidence, than look average and have amazing confidence. No contest." - Who gives a shit when you can kill both of these with one stone?

Physical fitness will increase your attractiveness and give you confidence. Not just because of the increased attractiveness, but because of the testosterone (the confidence hormone) proper exercise releases into your system.

Plus, who honestly believes something that gives you real life-long physical results could be mistaken as a placebo?
