Matthew briggs: I respect the choices of others especially those that are afraid or detest confident women.
But I would like us not to confuse confidence for stubbornness or pride. once again I respect your taste and choices.

Personally I love women with a fine blend of confidence & humility. A woman that believes in herself, her ideas , convictions and dreams, she's hardly swayed by public opinions. A woman that is very comfortable in her own skin. She is goal driven and takes initiative.

Confident women are smart. They engage your mind, They bring ideas to the table, They add value to a relationship instead of taking it, they make you sit up as a man. They are have strong character and will.

She will be a Michelle to your Obama, she can hardly fall your hand any place but instead take you higher.

When a confident woman loves you, She truly does, Because in the first place she can do without you, but chooses not.

Blessed is the man that can Tame them. Moreover if you are not a very confident, intelligent and of strong character you can't handle or tame them.

Three core things that I find attractive in a woman is Confidence, intelligence and sex-appeal with her being God fearing by default.

NB:- The sad thing is that majority of people (men and women) mistake proud, stubborn and assertive women as confident women which should not be so.
#Mathew Briggs.



True talk. Alpha males love confident women especialy humble and respectful ones. Who despite ther confidence still have respect for their man.

I disagree here, in Nigeria confidence translates to arrogance.Trust me you won't like a confident Nigerian woman. What a man needs is a HUMBLE woman with high intellect.

pleep: Then the 'confident' ladies should go for the shy men.... that way the equation would balance.

However, yall would rather get with confident men and complain. Confident men generally want submissive women...thats not our fault. You have a million shy men who are dying for some play, why dont u get with them? tongue

There is a solution to every problem if you would just stop complaining and take it wink

A confident man knows his self worth and does not need to debase a woman to validate his masculinity. There's no inferiority complex. Confident men can handle a woman`s intelligence and big personality.

The confidence I mean is borne out of intellectual excellence and not the one that comes from swinging a d*ck (that would be chauvinism). Chauvinistic men want submissive women

I got a confident man and he`s given me absolutely no reason to complain.

When people talk about confident women (and men) its usually a euphamism for something else, and that is an overbearing personality.

The vast majority of people have a natural level of self-confidence, its nothing to brag about. I'm sure 90% of the posters here would describe themselves as confident. The people that overly identify with their confidence are better off with more docile partners. Its a character trait that does not clash well, w/e yall want to say.

If you are an overbearing woman and you are "intimidating guys," do the logical thing and date shy men. Don't just sit around complaining when the solution is all around you

Not sure what 'confident woman' even means. embarassed
It sounds like 'noisemaker', if I judge it by the common context I am reading here. I don't care much for noisemakers, men or women.

Some women are very quiet, shy, and homely, but are top of their game when it comes to career or business.
They keep a solid home front, make doe by the caseloads, and rock their world without making any noise.

While others are loud, brash and angry, but not worth a goddamm cent, just liabilities to their men, bringing nothing but drama to the table.
Y'all know yourselves and which categories una dey grin

When dudes avoid overly confident women its not because they are 'afraid'.. they just know that two over-bearing personalities will clash. The problem arises because these so called confident women refuse to date shy men (the guys they are compatible with).

simdam500: An ideal woman, a girl friend or a life partner must exude confidence. Gone are the days when men crave for anopportunity to be a knight in shining armor. They don’t like weaklings or delicate darlings, but smart, street intelligent and confident women who know what they are doing and what needs tobe done. A confident woman is determined and head strong, and it’s what guys look for beyond looks or sex appeal. Here are 6 reasons why men like confident women.

1. Confident women are decision makers
A confident woman who takesdecisions on her own alwaysattracts a man. A man doesn’t like if a woman always depends on him for making any small or big decisions, he would respect and appreciate her if she takes advice, but listens to what her mind and heart says and make decisions in life.

2. Confident women have a great personality
Confidence is a factor that always adds on to a person’s personality. It creates a certain charm about the person. A confident woman would carryherself with grace and style. With confidence a woman looks charming and strong, and this really attracts men.

3. Confident women are independent and single minded
Confident women don’t need constant support and assurance; they handle themselves and their lives the way they want. So men are attracted to confident woman because they know they wouldn’t have the constant pressure to give their support to her.

4. Confident women are courageous and fearless
Confident women stand up for what they believe in, they don’t get pressurized by anyone. They know what they want and they work towards it. The fearless and courageous behavior that comes with confidence always attract men.

5. Confident women make great life partners
It’s easy to date, but when itcomes to marriage, starting a family and having children,women require to multitask, make decisions on their toes, when husbands are not around, step into his shoes and manage things efficiently. In order to be able to do this, men know that they need someone whois confident and will not crumble under pressure.

6. Confident women extend support
Confident women make reliable people. Men also need a shoulder to cry on and if they have a problem, they know that they can onlycount on women who are strong and confident.

I totally disagree with this post, most me including myself appreciate it the more when ur women call u to help her make a little decision which u knw she can make it on her own but respect and prestige on seeking for ur opinion goes a long way. Most time we men may sound arrogant and act gidi-gidi as if she is distorbing us but deep down in our hearts we love it.

Logicboy03: Nonsense,

Infact there are many men who like shy women. A confident woman might have gained that confidence from being a village bicycle. shocked

Confidence does not equal brave, courageous or being a good decision maker.
[size=13pt] I agree with you in all totality.
I was just about to write the same about the bolder.

Odenigbo Aroli.:


My first post in this thread was "most confident women makes bad wives" and I still stand by my words irrespective of how you people try to twist it around. Confidence can be good in the work place, its an asset, but at home its a vice. I am yet to see a confident woman at work that is not a terrorist at home, except she is married to a more deranged man who will intimidate her with more madness should she try anything from the office at home. Most confident women end up divorced, do you agree?
i dont agree cheesy so all not to confident women at work are excellent wives at home abi.if that is the case the likes of ibukun awosika should have been a single woman or single mother for life na cheesy

Na lie, the success will bring out the beast in the woman, and she will come to see her husband as slow and stuupid. Next she will keep the man at home to be feeding the babies and washing her panties.

cheesy hehehehehhe wonderful,how can you be seeing your wife's success,confidence and high status as a threat to you and think she will be doing that to you.anyway all this boils down to the reason why you got married to her in the first place.if you married for the right reasons you will be proud of her confidence but if you marry for the wrong reasons you will see her as a competitor,rival and her confidence will be a threat to your ego and manhood.meanwhile all those fears are figments of your own imaginations or what you are capable of doing

i am giving an example of a confident woman yet humble.dont be mistaken,it is very possible for a woman to be sucessful yet confident and at the same time humble,i was replying the earlier poste1 who asked me whether i have gone to her house before and i said i have only gone for her wedding anniversary so for her to do that,i know she has the virtues of what i call a REAL SUCCESSFUL woman,i dont know why you guys thinks its impossible for a woman to be successful,confident yet humble

hahaha that will even make it worse.it is an abomination for any high level army personnel to hit his wife.if his ogas are aware of it with evidence or his wife gets to report the case,he will be stripped of his uniform and entitlements as well as getting physical punishments except of course he is a lower level officer,those ones dont know anything but its not as if if their ogas get to know they wont be punished but in most cases the wives dont get to report because they are docile illiterates who dont know their left from their right and think domestic abuse is ok
