    Do People often take over confidence as a sign of cockiness, and just wondering if many girls/women like this trait?

    Well, there are two kinds of dudes who are cocks....there are the desperately wanna be cocks because they think it's cool. These poor souls are normally best left alone.

    Then there are the actual, genuine cocks who treat people like ****....these poor fools can normally be found face down outside whatever club there were in after some dude gets sick of their ****.

    So which one would you be then? :D

    Depends how the guy is, if he can pull it off then its charming to a certain extent if its overly so in an obnoxious way then its a turn off!!!

    Confident is good, over-confident not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    OP,you should try and reaise that there is a difference between being cocky
    and being confident.

    You can be confident,without being or seeming cocky.

    So do that.

    Over-confidence, or 'cockiness' comes across to me as trying too hard and trying too hard is definitely not attractive.

    Once someone can make me laugh, they're half way there. Self-deprecating humour always a winner in my book.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell


    Don't be cocky be...funny, I personally don't care if you are 6ft have a fecking hot body, can swim,dance,sail,do everything* Its your personality that I care about, oh and humour is a big thing for me!



    *though that helps........ALOT!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭AngryBadger


    I think the biggest problem with cockiness/confidence, and all that jazz is that people worry about it too much. If you're confident then you're confident, you could spend your entire lifke trying to ensure that everyone realises your confident and not just cocky, but you'll never get everyone to think that, and tbh if you're that concerned about it you're obviously not confident or cocky at all.

    Cockiness and arrogance are two of the biggest turn offs in the world for me.
