What type of behavior in men would be perceived by women as confidence, and not arrogance?

Women often perceive confidence as being one of the most attractive qualities in men. How does this type of attractive confidence manifest itself in real life situations?

tynamite's avatar This is a hard one. Confidence means different things to different people. I can only speak for myself, which is why Quora triumphs with ambiguous questions like these.

A confident person, I would define as


  • Someone who is not afraid to drop their childish ways if the time calls for it.
  • Someone who can pay bills. (This does not mean they need money to pay bills however.)
  • Someone who is not afraid to step their foot into something murky. (This is most likely being crass, offensive, and least likely to be daring.)


I'm confident, but I'm not assertive. Below are the 3 non-assertive behaviours which i do.


  • I keep my mouth shut most of the time.
  • I hardly ever approach people.
  • I'm hardly ever adamant when I want something


Somehow I manage to draw the attention of girls and have them approach me. Also when I talk, everyone in the room stops talking to listen to whatever I have to say. How's that for an introverted person who doesn't talk much? I'm not a quiet person though, I do make an effort to talk.

It just goes to show that...
Assertiveness != Confidence

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
