Ethereal - timely post. I just started reading Deida's 'way of the superior man' a few days ago. I like what you/Deida said about polarity/presence and I'll keep that in mind as I progress through the book.
Dimitry - I agree that there is probably a variety of combinations of confidence and other character traits. It is certainly possible for an introvert to be as confident as an extrovert. I think it is unfortunate that introverts are more likely to get passed by when it comes to attracting a mate, regardless of their actual level of confidence.
Erock - are you saying that confidence isn't a factor for women when looking for a 'long term mate/marriage' relationship, or are you saying that it is just less of a factor? Additionally, I would agree that one would be attracted to another at a higher level of consciousness, as conscious individuals are more likely to know where they're going with their life, have confidence, have fewer character flaws, etc.
Good discussion, thanks all!
Tom
