whats in your back pocket?

i've heard that women like confidence in a man. by this i mean grown women. by this i mean heterosexual men (no offense).

today, as i was sitting in my weekly tuesday night class, i observed a young man that went to the board for a presentation to the class. this guy might be about 26-27, overweight, sloppy clothes, not particulary handsome, and in need of a shave, and a haircut. i should be one to talk though, i get a trim about once a month and shave when i feel my mustache brushing up against my nose. but thats neither here nor there. whats most important though, is that, as viewing this guy, i noticed his confidence. it was as if he was wearing it over his dingy red shirt, or had it buldging out of his back pocket. it wasn't in a smile, or a walk, or a certain stand or anything. no, this man just wore an invisible suit of confidence. i was impressed. i mean, i know he's smart, and the rest of the class knows he's a genius, but that rarely matters. shit, i know several really smart men that only think about masturbation and suicide. where's their confidence?

but as i drifted off in my usual class daydream, i began to contemplate the other facets of what men think that women think they want in a man. money. power. humor. secruity. muscles. sex. morale. religion. intelligence. suave. hell, pick your battle. they all, in some sense, point back to confidence. or should anyway.

i mean, don't get me wrong. there are some rich guys that can't stand to look at themselves in the mirror. there are some dudes with gargantuan muscles that second guess themselves throughout their entire life. the point i'm trying to make here is that people want comfort in thier lives. and it's very difficult to be comfortable with someone if they aren't comfortable with themselves.

that guy in class could have asked me for a dollar and i would have given it to him, just because he seemed confident to me. and for that same reason, i plan on asking every person i see for a couple of bucks. thank you and goodnight.
