You know the phenomenon of male characters who you absolutely should not identify because they're awful people who nevertheless a lot of men identify with? e.g. James Bond, Rick (of Rick and Morty), Rorschach.
I think I figured out why this is and oh no.

Unfortunately this makes the problem worse, because you end up with a kind of dichotomy where either: 1) Men go "That seems great, I'm going to be a jerk now." 2) Men recoil from these characters, further alienating themselves from their own desired nature and gender.

Afaict James Bond in Casino Royal is a paragon of virtue, and have you seen the MCU?

To clarify, you're not just talking about being very confident in your abilities, you're talking about overestimating your abilities and having that be a good thing?

Hmm. A little? Overestimating your abilities isn't ideal, but overestimating your chances of success can be a good thing. I was thinking more of the sort of arrogance you get with "I'm great and I know it" which is a little independent of how accurate the "I'm great" part is.
