Yeah, this "make men with little confidence feel like kings" is something my wife and I had plenty of opportunity to observe when we lived in Thailand for 4 years. Lots of European men there who wouldn't stand a chance of finding a decent wife back home, but over there it's so easy. Then they bring them home and treat them like shit. But I always thought, and still think, that's (hopefully) only a small minority of guys. Maybe I'm weird, but I find a self-assured, and independent woman so much more attractive than a demure, subservient one. If the former likes me, that's elevating my confidence far more thanan if the latter does.
