Don’t Underestimate The Power Of Confidence

[Oknow]

Im working in management where quite a few of my colleagues are bald/balding, where I am the best looking one. They are however doing better than me professionally from being extremely confident with great presentation skills.

Similarly, I recently got rejected by a girl before meeting from her not feeling a spark. Again, down to a lack of confidence!

I get that hair loss sucks, but without confidence it is difficult to succeed.

Lack of spark can also translate as lack of attraction which is often deeply entwined with physical appearance.

As for the confidence; it certainly wont hurt. People with positive mind sets statistically stay healthier, earn more, and perform better in sports than pessimists.

Looks matter, no doubt, but many people underestimate confidence, body language and communication skills and that's the reason why a lot of people won't succeed, regardless of the look. It doesn't help to use your look as excuse for not giving 100% and trying everything to be the best version of yourself.

Not the dreaded "C" word.

True, in this instance though ‘lack of spark’ happened over the phone before actually meeting!

So there was no way in her assessing how attractive I was in person.

Yes - as another poster posted confidence is more than just looks but body language, how one communicates etc which are powerful

My colleagues are ugly but a lot better at the above and it shows through in meetings

Could be lack of good conversation or it could be she's dating someone else now. You know how it is with modern dating - most men and women date a few people at once in the early days.

When will people like you learn?
Baldness damages young guy both in career/education and in dating.
At least confidence keep such young balding guy afloat in career.

This thread is about confidence, not specifically women.

So has nothing to do with looks. Convo was sh*t in hindsight tbh
