i detest them, i like the shy intellectualise with a witty and dry sense of humor that is crass and taboo
by Jaded on June 6th, 2008
Confident? Yes. Cocky, alpha-male? No, total turn-off for me. Masculinity is good and confidence is incredibly attractive. But I'm not a bird. Strutting just makes me laugh.
by Done. never again. on September 14th, 2008
No not really. To me, cocky guys aren't really alpha at all.
by susanella on June 7th, 2008
confidence: attractive
cocky: annoying!
by Mrs.Dufresne on June 7th, 2008
Confident, sure. Cocky/arrogant, **** no.
The difference is that a confident man allows the input of others' feelings and an arrogant one disregards them.
Arrogant people make me want to run in the opposite direction.
by CaRbOnPrOdUcK is Baccuss on September 14th, 2008
Confident I like. I always enjoy a "Cock-y" man, doesn't every woman?
by Anonymous on June 7th, 2008
Yes confident, because it seems to compensate the many insecurities that females have..
But a cocky guy??
Now why would one want that. I wouldn't be attracted to a guy who spent more time making himself feel special as opposed to me
by Browndog on June 7th, 2008
Those types tend to be good looking, so yes I usually find them attractive. Certainly not dating material though!
by DorkPangs on June 7th, 2008
I'm more into the shy types myself. With a sardonic sense of humor.
I tend to become best friends or fast lovers with the confident/cocky dynamo, because I find them too immature to have a real relationship with. They're fun for some things, but they'd be too embarrassing/frustrating to be with for long.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on June 7th, 2008
I don't like cockiness at all.
by ImagineMEandYOU on June 7th, 2008
i find confidence attractive, but a cocky man is just annoying.
by UneFille on June 7th, 2008
Yes. It is one cause of my downfall.
by Ms.A on June 7th, 2008
Confidence and cocky don't necessarily go together...I'll take confident.
by SkysNet on June 7th, 2008
what women say they want and what they actually want is two different things. If done correctly, cocky is good, and confident is given.

Maybe for fifteen minutes.
by ccardell on June 7th, 2008
My husband is confident and that is one of the things that first attracted me to him. Cocky men can keep on walking.
by revol on June 7th, 2008
no not at all
by Sweet T on June 6th, 2008
I love a confident man, sometimes a little cocky.
by Cyndi Ninja on June 6th, 2008
No, cockiness and arrogance are a big turn off for me. I do like the guys who are unintentionally masculine though :)
by Mountain Momma on November 9th, 2008
Confident, yes. Cocky, no.
by Lori K still ignores stalkers and trolls on September 14th, 2008
Confidence is attractive. Cockiness is not. Being an alpha-female, I'm definitely attracted to alpha-males.
by meowry on June 8th, 2008
Confident? Definitely. Cocky? Hm...maybe. Alpha-male? Not a chance. The guy could be charming, fit, confident, with tons of charisma. But if he's the alpha-male type, he's a turn-off. I'm not bein anyone's slave!
by Little Miss Dangerous on June 7th, 2008
Yes, as long as the cocky alpha-male part doesn't become disrespectful. I still want to be treated like a princess. He's gotta earn the right to be cocky!
by Anonymous on June 7th, 2008
I like them to have a sarcastic wit, but not too cocky. If you're not careful, you get the type who hates everybody and everything...
by miRi hates social norms and regulations on June 6th, 2008
cocky is too close to arrogance for me. confidence is great but anything beyond just irritates the hell out of me. and i don't do alpha male status. i can make up my own mind and i'm not the submissive type. being raised by mainly women in my life didn't make it easy to be that way.
by sindrixmf on June 6th, 2008
Confident? Yes. Cocky.. also yes, if he can back it up. I don't think there's anything wrong with being cocky if you really are that good.
by NOTANONYMOUS HATER on December 2nd, 2008
there's a point to cockiness, and no they can be rude and do what they want to. Also they end up being the ones to cheat cause they think their poo don't stink.
by Gingerminx on December 2nd, 2008
I always felt that cocky guys were not confident at all and needed to be cocky to try and make themselves and others think they are confident. Confidence is a definite plus along with a great sense of humour and intelligence. Cockiness is simply that, cockiness and has nothing to recommend it.
by earlybird on December 2nd, 2008
No, cocky alpha male types just annoy me. ;-)
by DwarfClown on December 2nd, 2008
I love a strong and confident man. Cocky is a little too much for me...unless by cocky you mean well endowed! :-)
by Broncoqueen on December 2nd, 2008
no i hate them, they are such ass holes and they usually only want one thing. i prefer a guy who is cofident but not the alpha-male type.
by Rock the dance floor on November 9th, 2008
Confident is always a plus, but I can't really stand guys that are cocky, it is a turn off!
by Sunshine on November 9th, 2008
Confident yes, cocky is just selfish! Total turn off. Got have a little humor. :)
by TAPriceCTR s son is wearing his COAT on September 14th, 2008
the difference between arrogance and confidence is wether or not the person describing it thinks it is a good thing.wether or not they think they like cocky guys they go for them.
by I m Out of here on September 14th, 2008
Alpha-male does not mean cocky male. I am referred to as an alpha-male by those who know me personally and I am also referred to as an intellectual by many. An alpha-male will take the lead with confidence and protect his woman if and when need be, he will not share his girlfriend or wife with another man. An alpha is exclusive in his breading rights and is often out spoken regardless of the group interpretation. An alpha-male may be silent when silence is necessary, though he may not be liked by those who are not on his level or radar out of jealousy for not being so but, he is respected by all who encounter him. For better understanding as to who is writing this I am a small arms security instructor, a poet, massage therapist, father and loyal husband. These traits are by no means all that I am or all that I am interested in but, I feel these are enough to illustrate the multiple facets of one alpha male.
by Jen-Jen on June 7th, 2008
Confident, cocky, and arrogant can/do turn me on...Hey they've gotta keep up with me (lol)
by Krystan on June 7th, 2008
Yes I do, as long as these traits coincide with intelligence. My fiance fits this criteria, but he has plenty reason to :P
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on June 6th, 2008
Not particularly. Confident is fine, but cocky can be obnoxious.
by Anonomous on June 6th, 2008
So much thats the one I married.
by I'm a ginger on June 6th, 2008
oh yes!!
by VS Angel aka Mrs. Stealth Intelligence on June 6th, 2008
Actually, yes.
Very attractive. :D
by bagicide stayed 10 months too long on September 14th, 2008
No
by Ms.A on September 14th, 2008
Confidence is always attractive.Cockiness and "Alpha male" don't go together.
by Lulu on September 14th, 2008
Absolutely not! I like a man with a great sense of humor and a big heart.
by applepie on September 14th, 2008
No way I'm sorry but cocky people bother me and most girls. Who lieks people who are stuck-up and think they're all that? I like the smart, nice, good-looking guys
by LustxOverxLove on December 2nd, 2008
No, just rude and obnoxious.
by future archaeologist on September 14th, 2008
i don't tend to find cocky men attractive. for me, i'm interested in men who don't need to show off all the time or be the center of attention.

I like this type too more or less...but not crass. I like shy nerdy types but I always end up with cocky jerks.
