Why do girls like confidence?

Every thread I look at girls keep saying they like confidence, it seems to be some sort of buzzword, akin to businessmen talking about synergy and cohesion. But what does it actually mean? Can you please tell me how confidence in any way relates to the things that will make a successful relationship (e.g. sharing interests and morals, being good company, being supportive) in the modern day. My opinion; confidence is not too dissimilar to arrogance, vanity and insolence. It is possessed by the dishonest and revered by the shallow. It is essentially portraying yourself in a different way to what you are. Why is this so desirable? I find it ironic that people like myself, who lack confidence, are the ones who would most benefit from a relationship and yet are at the same time less likely to get one, all because of this notion of confidence. The notion of confidence that seems to be out-dated and primal. And before the rep-whores descend on this thread, no I wouldn't consider myself a 'nice guy' and yes I do find it difficult to get a girlfriend and yes it probably has been too long before I got laid. Now let's discuss.
