Women like confidence so much. I tend to distrust confident people - that's the natural tendency anyway. I'm more impressed with people who are correct than people who are confident. But, as usual, I'm willing to make an effort to adjust - learn to convey confidence.
I'm not totally sure why the women like confidence. I'm not immediately thinking of solid biological/evolutionary reason. I guess it's because people are sometimes pretty good at evaluating themselves and confidence (in those people) might be a decent metric.
Although with something like playing music, the emotion of being confident - or not freaked out - does make the music sound "right" - so maybe something like that is going on with speech also.
