Well, I have another term for you "IDIOT". No one here cares about you and your body, except your next appointment. I am sure that someone is better than you and could take a woman from you... These guys are laying it out about their lack of confidence, and you feel the need to tell everyone how great you are???

In reference to the OP, in my opinion you can only gain confidence by experience and learning from your experience
and your mistakes or shortcomings. I once knew a guy who really got into golf. He bought all the best equipment and read all of the golf mags and talked about it all the time. The problem was, he never actually played a round of golf in his life. He just went to the driving range, trying to perfect his game so he wouldn't look like a fool on the course.
Anyone who's ever played golf knows you have to actually play the game to really experience it. You will make mistakes but that's the only way to really learn. Besides, one of the thrills of playing is when you hit that perfect shot or make that impossible putt or scramble for par when you're in trouble.
My golf analogy may not be the best way to compare your friend's problem, but I guess what I'm trying to say is, the true joy of experiencing something is actually doing it and not worrying about what bad thing might happen. Most of the time, the things people worry about the most are never as bad when they happen as they think they will be.
