I think some guys are intimidated by women who have confidence because they lack confidence themselves, or they don't want anyone to overshadow their ego in any shape, way or form...To me it says that he a) has low-self esteem b) he's a male chauvinistic pig c) he's a boy.
MEN are put off by females who lack confidence because it's for one, unattractive...Chicks who have no confidence tend to be whiners, they have major trust issues, sometimes they can be overly dependent on a man (like they can't do nothing for themselves, can't even blink on their own), they pretty much don't have any self-worth....Some guys like that though. It caters to their ego and makes them feel like they got the upper hand and they pretty much dog walk these girls.
But as far as the ones who are turned off by females who lack confidence, it just says to me that they have higher standards...
Confidence is key...
When I was younger I didn't have much confidence because of unfortunate circumstances that had happened in my past. That lack of confidence invited some scumbags into my life.
I have a sign that I put on my door that says, "What you put out, is what you bring in."
People can sense weakness, and I feel like a lack of confidence is a sign of weakness. But people out here feed off of that. Like the wolf going after hurt sheep in the herd. And that's what females are who have no confidence.
Confidence is like idiot and dawg repellent.
But that's just my lil' ol' opinion...
