I have body image issues yet I am relatively confident regardless. Mainly because I am fully aware that they are my issues and no one else's so I don't see why they should affect my outward confidence. |

"I would never give my confidence a battering when there are so many people out there willing to do it for me. "
For the life of me, I can't imagine why - or perhaps more saliently - how they could possibly try and do that. What is there to criticise? |

Ten years since the first time i walked down a public road in a frock. Since then I've given lectures at public events, chatted with bishops, travelled around the country, co-written a paper that was presented at a high profile psychology conference, danced in my underwear in front of 300 swingers. I still have some confidence issues but I'm getting there... |

Because the world is full of lovely people and arseholes, in equal measure. |

"Confidence is so attractive. my cock is called ‘confidence’  "
Seriously made me chuckle
Fab has given me more confidence. Yes there are still parts of my body I don't like but it's given me the push to do something about it |

True.
For what it's worth, your username is incredibly apt, because you are extremely aesthetically pleasing

From my experience I think there are probably more lovely people than arseholes ....
Unfortunately with all the crappy things going on in the world it sometimes seems the other way round

"Sometimes though confidence crosses over to arrogance ...
But when you've got confidence you don't give a fuck anyway  "
Guess so.
I'm not made that way... |

Why? Interesting to hear from a male perspective "
When females or couples don't even reply to messages, self doubt creeps in  |

Same here. I am actually going to brush the dust off my treadmill. |

"The internet and sites like these and dating apps etc make lots of people self conscious. Its sad."
I don't think it makes them self conscious. It just highlights their already existing insecurities. |

Not always true, I wasn't insecure until I joined here. |

I've never really had any confidence, but getting knocked back does quite a bit of damage to my confidence. Not just on here, but anywhere. It plays into the idea I have that I'm not good-looking enough. It's probably not the best place to be, but I only mainly come for the forums now.
I guess it's why I dislike messages been read but then being deleted without a reply. The recipient of that message has no idea what the sender is dealing with. That could be really damaging to that person's self-esteem.
And before anyone says it, I despise the ''why should I care about upsetting random strangers on the internet'' attitude. You shouldn't necessarily care, but you also shouldn't knowingly do something you wouldn't want being done to yourself. Getting knocked back or ignored hurts no matter who you are and anyone who says it doesn't is lying to themselves. |

I don't believe that joining a website makes you insecure! If a website has done that to you then why on earth would you stay??  |

Frankly, this is the worst possible place for an average bloke with confidence issues. Given the ratios, a good 95% of your approaches will be rejected without a reply. |

I disagree, single males do get rejected a hell of a lot but I find that most of the time if I were to get rejected it’s because people have children around the same age or something similar, doesn’t knock me though because more often than not I get appreciation for either my photos or the way I conduct myself which gave me a lot more confidence over time. I was not half as comfortable when I first joined like two years ago |
