I prefer sensitive, intelligent people for friends. I don't want them to feel like doormats, but I don't know that "confidence" is all that high on my list, necessarily.

And as an aside, note that "confidence" is distinctly different from "arrogance". Lots of men fail to make that distinction.

It's not a trait I look for, but I can't speak for all women. Plus I don't love men with confidence so you probably aren't interested in my response :P

Yes. I am married to a very confident woman. :)

There's a difference between confidence and arrogance. Men and women who are "too" confident bug that SH!Ts out of me! LOL

Of course. Most people don't like arrogance. But you won't ever hear me say I'm looking for a "confident" guy. It's just not something I hope for in a partner.

If I were to list the qualities I look for in a partner, I wouldn't think to list confidence among them. I would not turn somebody down just because they did not seem confident, or try to pick somebody up exclusively for their confidence, since there are many other factors involved, but on an otherwise well rounded person, confidence is a nice ingredient to the whole.

Guess what, right a confident man, seeks confident lady. no, seeks someone with quirky foresight and attitude, not other way round. really though, half the men on here are saps as they think concorde was invented on planet Avensis or somewhere like it.
If I want a man, i go for the man, if he wants me its Buenos Aires all the way baby.

I didn't think confidence matters much until I've encountered enough people without it. Now I think it's the source (low confidence) of much evil. People who don't have much confidence seem to have drama and negativity following them everywhere, not good for long term relationships. They'd be OK for a casual friend.

This!! I felt like that too until I came in contact with people who lacked it. They are very trying, always need confirmation and the drama they tend to come with can make anyone flip. I don't have the patience needed to deal with that time and time again. Now I want confidence in both friendship and relationships. As others have already pointed out, I don't look for that alone, but it needs to be part of the package. Obviously compatibility comes first.
