Quote:Shannon, a few questions:

Question 1: How does female attraction assist me in my alpha quest. Why cultivate new flowers in my garden when I have no desire to enjoy them. Under these conditions the flower is seen as a weed. It seems a waist of energy, that is unless the cultivation of the flower is a by-product of the gardens real purpose, a nice extra, but not its primary reason for existence.
Confidence attracts women. That is a well known fact. Whether you want it to or not is immaterial. It has uses and value aside from that; if you are not interested in the women whom it attracts, simply ignore them.

Question 2: Can you clarify the above statement?
It is an incomplete statement. However, unshakeable confidence is confidence that cannot be moved, lessend or damaged, and it is solid because the person holding it is aware of the facts and has mastered and/or aligned him/herself with them.
Quote:Question 3: So what confidence is AM11 training me for. Its not confidence in all aspects of my life. At the end of AM11 I would come off as cocky if I thought I could dance like a professional. Maybe I'm not understanding the definition of confidence. As stated in the above posts, confidence is a knowledge of ability. I know I'm better than others in a specific thing there for I have confidence to the edge of cocky. AM11 is not making me a better dancer so if my confidence in my dancing ability was on the edge of cocky, because I lack the dancing foundation I'm not on the edge of cocky, I'm just cocky (in other words I'm compensating).
AM trains for self confidence and confidence in your masculine core. How you apply it externally is a matter of what makes sense for you, as you point out. Confidence is usually in direct correlation to mastery or certainty. While you may not be cocky about your ability to dance, confidence to go dance regardless of what others think because that is what you want to do and enjoy is the sort of confidence alpha will instill.
Confidence on the edge of cocky is full confidence. It does not become cockiness, but stops just short. Full awareness and certainty of your skills, whatever they may be.
