The original poster is trying to demolish our genetic basis and construct some new artificial reality. Our reality has a genetic basis. Men in all cultures behave more or less the same. It's also true for women. It has nothing to do with the western culture. It's not just a turn off for women, but also for other men (not sexually but socially). We cannot help but feel and act that way. Why are women attracted (in general) to confident guys/men? Because it's natural. We don't think too much about the "why" question. I mean we can think, but it won't change the reality. Somethings are the way they are.
