Confidence It is the one common thread many allude throughout this BB and countless other places. So Question #1. Why is that? Why are confident people attractive?
I came back from Iraq at 49 in terrific shape, fresh from facing down incredible dangers, faced the question almost all American men do 'If in combat would I run?' and answered it. Yet I felt like only hiding. Why?
Because like others on this board the base which we based much of our confidence was ripped from under us.
So Question #2. How can one who's personal life is ripped (reguardless if they were the LBS or the WAS from an abusive sitch) get their confidence? What do you do to get that British stiff upper lip and look into the headwinds with a stoic demeanor and take care of the business at hand. (or like a USMC instructor screaming while putting a boot up your butt)
One solution suggested and I liked was to my flirting thread a. Fake till you make it. b. Act. If that is possible how does one go about that?
I have my own opinions but they are limited in scope where others here can provide a wide range of solutions. Note confidence or looking as such is only one of the building blocks but it could be close to the cornerstone.
In USMC RECON they teach. Look cool and if you screw up look cool while doing it. If you are lost how much of a target would you be walking around aimlessly or acting like you know what you are doing taking care of business? Think about it is not that similar to everyday life in the States?
