I don't like guys who think they're so much better than everyone else. But I do prefer guys who are hard to get.

Confident? Yes. Cocky?...No. Except for Barney Stinson. He's pure awesomeness. lol

Oh, goodness, no. It's the super insecure ones that are always cocky, I've found. They're also usually pretty shallow relationship-wise...and not just in romantic relationships. Friendships, family relationships, etc. 

cocky is incredible for short term flings. anything longer and more serious deserves confidence over cockiness.

Cockiness/arrogance/grandiosity is the ugliest trait a man can have, as far as I am concerned.

I like charismatic men. when I think of cocky men, I don't picture him wearing a suit, but someone like those jersey shore dbags or vin diesel wearing muscle shirts. it still depends on the guy. the rock doesn't look cocky despite wearing muscle shirts but sexy. that thing that he does with his eyebrow is hot and makes me laugh in a good way than thinking he's a cocky dbag. some guys just get away with it than others. if the rock winked at me, I'd be giggling but if vin diesel did the same thing, I'd find him very annoying and roll my eyes. it likely has to do with the fact that I can't stand his voice and he just doesn't pull off the bald meathead gangster-ness like real cholos do lol whatever real cholos look like wearing sunglasses indoors often come across as being cocky unless you're a mega celebrity and have papparazzi flashing camera lights at you, then wearing sunglasses indoors as an accessory is plain cocky of course this is just first physical impressions and they could be nice, but I don't think that I'd talk to a guy, whom I find to already look like a dbag. as regular friends, fine, but cocky or not, if I'm not sexually attracted, which is one factor out of many others, then we're likely not going to be more than friends. in some cases, the guy didn't look cocky, but after talking to him, such as some people from work, I found him to be cocky. so some "nice guy" looking ones turned out to be assholes or vice versa or sometimes the appearances matched or whatever. it depends. if I like him, then I like him and will likely be biased and find him so dreamy even if his friends,exes,coworkers or acquaintances think he's an ahole. if I like him, then I likely won't find even the cheesiest things he says to be cocky or lame, but cute I'll be able to tell when I see/talk to him. I prefer dreamy and charismatically sexy guys

my boss crush...he never boasted about himself. well, not like he can since we never got a chance to personally talk to each other. when I first saw him...I was spellbound or immediate schoolgrl crushin on him at first sight, and then I was like..."who is that he's so gorgeous!" I went ahead and looked him up his resume reads like an almost perfect script out of a movie. he's good looking as a supermodel. I can't believe that he melts me like butter every time! he could be cocky once I talk to him. but for now, he's just...ayiyi mon coeur if he's that hot, it is either self explanatory charisma or I'll be so captivated that I'll research about him myself my boss is already in the media, so it isn't like the resume info is secretive.

@AmorVomnia7@xanga - ..Except for girls who actually like the reserved/shy/bookish types.

@T3hZ10n@xanga - You sound like John Lennon.

Some women want a cocky guy, some women don't. So yep. Me personally? I think I get the appeal at the very beginning, but not in the long run.

Heck no!!

there's a difference between cockiness and arrogance.  in the former case, you have the skills to back it up.  even then, i'm not into girls who are legitimately full of themselves, though playful cockiness is fun.  i aim to do that myself.

interesting note:  girls who use self-deprecating humor are more likely to be flirting.

@T3hZ10n@xanga - hahaha *major* lol at the evolution remark. 

Confident and cocky asshole are two different things. That's all I have to say.
