When dating, "Just be confident" is just bad advice if you ask me. (lemm.ee)

"Being confident" is dangerously close to straight up bothering people. Plus it only really works if you're good looking.

I'm going to say the same thing I say every time someone claims "this only works if you're good looking".

Danny Devito gets laid. He got laid before he married. He got laid before he broke out as a star in Taxi. There are very, very, very, very few people who would look at Danny Devito and say "Wow, that guy's good-looking!"

Confidence is very much a necessary trait in the dating scene, and it makes up for a whole lot of other negatives (often, sadly, to the detriment of those who fall under its spell).
