I'm seeing conflicting information regarding this topic from different people. ToddV is saying cockiness is very good while lots of other dating coaches are saying being cocky is bad. I'm naturally a pretty cocky guy and I love to tease girls, but sometimes I wonder at what point does it actually become a turn-off. For example, would it be too cocky to tease the girl about you being her favorite match?
If you're a cocky guy then stick to your guns and calibrate after the fact. If a girl is offended just tell her you were joking and play it off like it's no big deal.
A bit of cockiness is always good. I definitely have that in my game as well. You don't wanna overdo it. The key thing is are you being cocky in a narcississtic way or are you being cocky in a fun playful way. That's the biggest factor. You don't wanna sound arrogant or like you're bragging. But, being playfully cocky can be quite good
IMO its a lot easier to be cocky in real life than over text because irl you can calibrate it and have it not be taken too seriously. Being cocky in a playful way is definitely a good thing, someone who is cocky but gets bad reactions from it wouldn't continue being cocky, so someone who is still cocky means they probably are used to good reactions (social proof), I think that's what ToddV means. Generally being cocky is good if you do it in a playful manner so you also don't take yourself too seriously at times too. Also these kinds of things really depend on the girl which is why calibrating based on the reaction can be just as important.
