@JediMasterRadek Your argument would work if attraction was based on logic. It is based completely on emotion and not logic. I am much more confident in my life and not ajerk. please read jarod diamonds books, "The third chimpanzee" or "why is sex fun?", for more on how attraction works.

[JediMasterRadek]

You still didnt prove if confidence attract women or not.

[anubis2814]

@JediMasterRadek I have discussed attraction in prior videos. There are many components that go into it. Some involve looks and childhood interactions with people, Some involve intelligence and common interest or sense of humor. Sometimes money and social status has an effect. Experience with the opposite sex and ability to read social nuance is also important. They have done scientific studies on attraction. One showed pictures of men, Women were most attracted to men who looked confident

[JediMasterRadek]

@anubis2814 Could You share with me a title of that paper? Is it this experiment where they have pictures of sad, happy, neutral, confident mens? Well it;s shitty experiment, lokk on a sample photos they gave for each category. They werent cgi images they were real photos like from fb, and those which look liek they were takes from some shitty promo campaign. Also confident photos showed the whole body of mens, where others dont,

[anubis2814]

@JediMasterRadek I actually did not research that paper in detail but I have heard of several studies on NPR. What I'm really confused about is your obsession with this topic. Do you really think that given the choice between a guy who appears confident and a guy who doesn't, and they both have other similar criteria she'll go for the guy without any confidence? Just saying, you are really obsessed with this issue.

[JediMasterRadek]

@anubis2814

I just think that the world confidence is misusied, and I think yes she would go for less confident guy

[anubis2814]

@JediMasterRadek What would attract her to go for the less confident guy? Do you see confidence as being the same a jerk?

[JediMasterRadek]

@anubis2814 Sorry that I didnt reply to You earlier. I think that in long perspective, yes. The though that I am capable of doing something based only on thinking that I am somehow superior to others or good because I am good means in long run a jerk.Any analizastion of future possibilities should be back up only on raw data, laws os possibilities and realistic examination of one skills, not a feeling of selfworthiness.

[Ozma3000]

Quite an interesting topic.

I would like to know more about how such things work with lesbian and gay couples though.

I know that my friend that I'm intimate with from time-to-time seems to enjoy it more when I'm confident and dominate, as do I. I am transgender, but I take anti-androgens that block the vast majority of testosterone that my body makes. So I wonder how that works between lesbians, etc. Then again, it could be a bad example because we're not in love with each other as such.

[JediMasterRadek]

@JediMasterRadek ....and most of them were of cheerful sportsmen surroneded with clapping and vivating audience. So the resultss were skewed. Also there was an experiment with women dressed diferently, some in premium clothers some as vagabounds. Photos were takes of only their faces. And those with better clothers scored highter. So women also need to be confident? No. I think that being calm and friendly and cool is misinterpreted as confidence
