That's funny! I find that I'm really attracted to confidence more than anything else. There can be the "best looking" guy in the room, but if he's not confident he won't do a thing for me.
It's the confidence for me. On our first date, my bf told me to stand up and pulled me in for our first kiss and I just about turned to a puddle on the floor. If he hadn't been holding me I'd have fallen on my ass my knees were so weak, something about how sure he was that I would be into kissing him before the obligatory good night kiss.
The week before I'd gone out with another guy and he asked, "So, can I kiss you?" And that so turned me off, I said no.
I think there's a fine line. I love it when someone is sure of themselves, because that's how I am. But someone who's TOO full of themselves must be compensating for something and it's gross.

Oh, man, I know what you mean. There was once this guy that I was so attracted to, and he seriously wasn't attractive or interesting or particularly smart, and didn't even have a pleasant voice. I think it must have been pheromones, because when he was in smell-range I thought he was hot, but when he got out of range, I'd be like "wtf?!"

I tend to fall for those who are just across the line. I have a bad picker. Ha!
On my Match profile one of the things I said was that I was looking for a guy who was confident but not arrogant. There's definitely a fine line. Confidence is super sexy. Arrogance is a huge turn off.
So yeah, it's probably a little of everything that you mentioned going on here :-)
