Author	Thread: Is confidence the key?
Admin	Is confidence the key? Posted : 28 Jan, 2011 12:26 PM I've heard it alot over my 19 years of life. "You gotta have confidence!" But it was always from a guy. I never really took it too seriously. But what is the truth? Is confidence really that attractive in a male? I am quite timid around any female I like, but with Prayer I could muster the confidence. Give me your opinions! God bless! Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Is confidence the key? Posted : 28 Jan, 2011 03:12 PM Yes, there is a very fine line between confidence and pride. It's hard to describe the difference, but it's very obvious when seen. Confidence is a good thing, though. Post Reply
View Profile History	Is confidence the key? Posted : 28 Jan, 2011 03:12 PM I would say that confidence is one key. Boxer, would you step into the ring if you didn't have confidence in your abilities to box? If you didn't have confidence in your abilities, would you expect to win? I would imagine that much of your confidence comes from natural ability...but there is quite a bit from training and coaching. In your "curious" thread, you saw that many women are looking for leaders...a man they can be confident is going to lead them in a direction they want to go. Just as a boxer without confidence soon loses a fight, a leader without confidence soon gives up their leadership role. Confidence doesn't mean that you think you have all the answers, but that you know who, where and how to go about finding them. It also doesn't mean that you believe you're never going to fail, but rather you know you'll pick yourself up, dust yourself off, regroup and go again. And, prayer is the way to go, because the only place to find true confidence is in Christ. confidence in yourself, alone = arrogance confidence in Christ = faith Post Reply

Tulip89 View Profile History	Is confidence the key? Posted : 29 Jan, 2011 10:32 AM Well, to answer your question specifically, yes. Get lots of confidence. Lots and lots of confidence. Confidence really has as much to do with your actions and how you carry yourself as it does with what you say. Fidgeting, general nervousness, hesitating to say something or make a decision...it's all going to add up to appearing more confident to women. The great thing about confidence is that a little bit leads to a little bit more, which leads to even more and even more. Like others have said though, arrogance or pride is a bad thing. I think the key difference is that confidence is sure of itself, while arrogance puts itself above others. If you have a strong relationship with Christ, can lead confidently, and can make people laugh, you'll be hard to resist. Post Reply
View Profile History	Is confidence the key? Posted : 29 Jan, 2011 11:03 AM Some ppl exude confidence but its an act based on how they've seen others behave. Some ppl's confidence is based on success they've had in one or more areas, but if that area of success is removed or changes, you see them quickly meltdown. In my experience the best source to get your confidence is from God. It's a spirtual thing. The closer you get to God the more you come to know WHO you are in Him. WHY you were created, born and live right now as opposed to the wild west times or bliblical times. There is a NATURAL and easy confidence that comes from coming into yourself in this way. It's a beautiful thing to see and it promotes humbleness because you understand that who you are, your success and what you have is by the mercy and grace of God and not from yourself. How can you become prideful in that, knowing that your next breath is a gift from God?:prayingm: Speaking of a man and the attractiveness of confidence, when I don't see confidence but timidity (which means fear), I just know that he has come to know who he is yet. That is one of top things I've asked God for in man, that he would have gone thru that process already. Post Reply
