There is definitely a difference between cockiness and confidence, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the two. However, observing interactions with his friends or interactions with strangers generally helps me identify the qualities I’m looking for.

I am a firm believer in the theory that our attraction patterns have evolved over time as a society. I feel like the reason confidence, or trust in yourself, is so attractive is because originally this was a trait that would help you live longer. Men that were confident would run and attack a potential meal, while men that were not could not provide for their families.

That being said, “over-confidence” or “cockiness” in those situations could also get you killed, again leaving a family with nothing to eat.

That is my theory of why I find confidence sexy, and cockiness unattractive. Whatever the root of my attraction, one thing is for certain: sitting next to a man that is comfortably sure of himself makes my blood boil.
