Are you Italian? Girls in Russia love Italian guys. Just saying :-)
For gaining confidence, I recommend any full contact sport. But do some Starting Strength first. That should help with weight loss too.
I suspect that people who compete in full contact sports tend to have more confidence than people who don't, but I think a lot of that is selection effect, not just a matter of who thinks it sounds fun in the first place, but who's willing to put up with it over an extended period of time. I think the set of people participating in full contact sports may become more confident over time partly by adaptation, but partly by attrition. They're not for everyone.
I don't presume to speak for others, but I definitely became more confident after taking up judo. I'm not sure if that generalizes to other sports, but developing the ability to do things that look sort of impossible before you are taught them can do wonders.
Ahah, thanks for the tip. Yes, I'm Italian, but I have a bit of prejudice against Russian girls, they seem to search more the money and relocation possibility offered by gullible Italians. I might just suggest them to go for German guys, they just live in a better economy, plus it's still Europe ;)
I've always been fascinated by them, but with my fitness level at the moment I can only hope for Kung fu Panda style fighting.
