RT Wolf, thanks for the quick and intelligent response. From what I understand, you're saying that:
- confidence is an indicator of higher status
- higher status males are more likely to provide benefits/resources that lower status males cannot
- higher status males are more likely to be genetically superior, thus enabling the creation of genetically-superior offspring
Interesting theory -- seems logical to me. I agree that human behavior can be surprisingly similar to ape or early human behavior. Thanks for your input RT Wolf.
Does anyone else have an alternate theory of why confidence is attractive? Anything from a female's perspective? Thanks for your insight!
Tom
