I can vouch for him. He's actually nothing like his CD persona. I'm not either.
I have a hard time understanding that. If you are NOTHING like your CD persona - then how do you come up with your posts? I have a hard time believing that a guy that constantly brags about all the hot young women that he picks up, flirts with, or sleeps with is, in reality, a perfectly nice, humble guy. If he is - why post these ridiculous posts? Even if he might not come off as a total d-bag in person, the fact that he does in his posts tells me that he is anything but humble deep down.
Someone who is comfortable within their own skin. Someone who accepts themselves, with all their faults, and believes they are strong enough to deal with whatever life throws their way. They have strong self-esteem, sense of self, sense of value, which is not easily influenced by others.

I've had a few PMs from the OP that makes me inclined to believe Minx.

On an anonymous internet forum where there's really no accountability and you may or may not care what others think, it's a lot easier to let your hair down, so to speak, and say the things you wouldn't necessarily say in real life. Plus, you can also embellish a bit more about your awesomeness because we don't see you on a daily basis to call b.s. and have proof of it.
I do think there are a lot of sincere posters on here but at the same time, there's a couple I do wonder about.

Thanks Dew, but this thread isnt about me, but simply about confidence as it relates to men and women. It has nothing to do with myself. I have nothing against the way you see me as a poster here or in the way you and/or others judge me. Not an issue whatsoever.
Confidence can be misleading. If a person is not also competent, the confidence is baseless. I also think confidence and self-assurance are essentially the same - and again, must be based in competence to be meaningful.

In terms of confidence as it relates to a potential partner, I would have a hard time dating someone I constantly had to reassure I really did like and that I wasn't going anywhere or I wasn't looking for someone else on the side. I also couldn't date someone who was insecure about the last one dying and who either made me feel I had to pretend that part of my life didn't exist or who again I constantly had to reassure wasn't in competition with a ghost.

Even better is the guy who, in bed, constantly stops to ask "Do you like that? Do you like this? How's this, does this feel good?"
The things we write don't come out of thin air, they are typed out thoughtfully by our minds. Anyone who says they are nothing like their online persona are delusional and absolute liars. There is always an element of the true self reflected, maybe those who deny it simply don't have the self awareness they think they do.
