Confidence is the key it seems. That's pretty much what everyone agrees on.

I don't know what your goal is but I doubt it's to spend a lifetime scoring hoochies down at the local hoochie-rama...
The key is being who you are. There is showey confidence like most of the people in this thread are talking about ( which I and a lot of other people believe to be low self-esteem) and then there is REAL confidence that is much less in your face but SO MUCH more real. If you are a socially akward person of substance and kindness, be that. Be proud. Be confident INSIDE. Forget all this outside garbage. Most of the people on this forum swim at the shallow end of the pool. You have to know there is a whole world away from this cesspool of people who have no inner direction. I think bragadocia, ego, arrogance, self-importance are all symptons of having no self esteem. If you're a nice guy, you are doing way better than most of the people in this world. That should make you proud.
Confidence isn't a contest of He Who Yells Loudest has the most, but an inner compass that keeps you on your own path. COnfidence gives me the ability to not follow the crowd. I can make difficult decisions that go against group thought. I can do what's right, not what gains me social status.
