Confidence is associated (sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly) with "success". Lack of confidence is associated with awkwardness, which makes someone more difficult to talk to and make a connection with (and also less likely to be able to protect you and your future children from a murderous bear, or something).
Of course, these preferences could be considered genetic leftovers from caveman times when men would frequently have to protect their wives and children from murderous bears and families would have to live on food brought home day-to-day, making "success" a life-or-death factor. The world today still has danger, like crime, and confident men are probably more likely to confront those dangers assertively. Women (and men too, in equal measure) are also attracted to money and being assertive means you'll probably make more of it.
There are plenty of women who don't require you to be confident though, or at least don't see lack of it as a deal-breaker and recognise that it doesn't always come easily.
Is it normal that I don't understand why girls like confidence?
