Yes, I like a confident person. I've dated not-so-confident people and it's alright as long as they don't talk bad about themselves all the time.

I think there's a definite line that separates confidence from arrogance. I would call someone "arrogant" who could not admit that they could be wrong.

I actually find confidence very attractive because I lack it. I mean genuine confidence, not a put-on to try to convince people that they're good but just a real internal presence that resonates outward. My husband has that confidence. When he walks into a room, he owns it. That confidence is very attractive to me. I'm someone who patiently waits to be noticed.

Mind you, someone has to have more than just confidence to spin my wheels; but a powerful presence is very attractive.

Confidence can boost your image, unless it's the kind of overconfidence NT teenage boys have (they're always talking about how "awesome" they are.)

I like confidence, but I'm not confident myself, so I feel nervous around such people. :\

Notice that it's mostly the girls that find confidence attractive. Guys find it as a good trait to have but not necessarily a trait that sexually attracts them to others.

Just shows how different men and women really are from each other.
