Ladies I know you like confident men... But where do you draw the line between some being confident and someone being cocky?
A guy who says "I know" this will happen rather than saying "I hope" this happens.
If he's more confident than I am, I most likely wouldn't be able to stand him! I can barely stand ME!
The confident man has no reason to be cocky.

I apologize for commenting in this forum but it struck a cord.
Confidence is manifested in how one treats other people and how those people feel after the experience. Cockiness is a drain on one's soul whereas confidence is a soul enabler.
For me, the ultimate "eye-candy" is seeing a confident woman in her element. the phrase from a song comes to mind to visualize this, "even her shadow has grace"
Cocky men can't handle bluntness or criticism. Confident men don't have fragile egos, so they can receive feedback.
Trying2_lovemyself, I think that is a very good definition. I might add to that by saying that "Confident men (and women) can not only receive constructive feedback, but they welcome it because they are always looking for ways to improve themselves. They don't see any comments as being an attack on their personality or abilities. It's no wonder that people like to be around a confident person because they exude a strength that draws others to them."
If you're feeling bored during this Covid-19 epidemic I’d like to suggest
you take a peek at a story I collaborated with SueBrasil, a brilliant author.
It's about a mistake in judgment a lady makes concerning a friend, based
on the hurtful words of someone that only thinks of himself. Will that
conniving person succeed in ruining a beautiful friendship, or will she see
through his lies? It's gradually creeping up towards the 30,000 mark
and we’d love any votes or hearing whatever comments you may wish
to make. It is listed in my profile under ‘FAVOURITES’ as Apologize.

"A dirty book is rarely dusty"
I love men who are a mix of both.
Confident men tend to yap a lot while cocky men tend to flex.
A mix of both is necessary.
I think some women can come across as being cocky or arrogant . This incident happened a couple of years ago. I was at a busy bar and coming back from the Gents . when this very attractive lady started chatting me up who was very cocky and also confident at the same time . I clocked her keeping tabs on me for some time after previous visits to the bar . In the end she did ask me out in a roundabout way and I politely declined as gently as I could as I am married and advised her so. As I was walking back to the party that I was with which included my wife! , she grabbed me around the waist and said something like your not going any where . At this moment after freeing myself from her clutches her friend whisked her away and apologised to me . It appears I am one of those rare people that have turned down such an attractive lady but her friend knew my reasons and understood them. I think this is a case of not taking rejection too well even though it wasn't really rejection more of being unavailable .
Cocky does the talk, confident walks the walk
Cocky is loud and obnoxious. Confident is calm and reassuring.
Cocky only thinks he knows what he's talking about. Confidence is knowing that you know what you're talking about
A cocky man tells you why you should be interested in him and tries to force it. He gets butt hurt and potentially aggressive when he doesn't get his own way.
A confident man shows you, through his actions, reciprocal interest and patience, why you should want to be with him. A confident man has enough substance and class to accept rejection and doesn't start hurling insults should you not wish to fuck him.
Confidence is being comfortable and accepting of who you really are.
Confidence is having the humility to admit when you’ve been wrong.
Confidence is not feeling threatened or intimidated by someone who may be smarter, better looking, more accomplished etc.
