From a guy pushing 50, I'd say you're giving the younger men here good advice.
I don't know what's with all the downvotes. Mentions of PUA? Statements of politically incorrect truisms?
I downvoted despite the fact that I sympathize with the basic gist of AMSS (although maybe not some of the details). The reason I downvoted is because I don't think LW is appropriate for discussions like this, at least not in this way.
If you want to make non-obvious statements like "Women tend to respect the sexually confident" then you need to 1) define what you mean by this, and 2) provide evidence or links to evidence. I'm all for a rational discussion based on psychological science about what causes sexual attraction in human beings. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm assuming the implied-to-be-already-known background here is something along the lines of "women find low-status men repulsive even in relatively non-sexual/non-romantic/etc. contexts", which is both true and probably a special case of "people find low status repulsive".
But it's definitely not known, at least not to me, that "people find low status repulsive." At the very least, I'd appreciate some evidence backing this up.
