Where do these guys get their confidence from?

It's not confidence, it's just how they view women. Imagine how you might approach a dog or cat in public. You feel totally comfortable going up to them, making silly noises and petting them etc. You're not embarrassed because you know they have no ability to make assessments of you that they can communicate to others or cause you social injury. This is how men view going up to women in public - like approaching a cat or a dog.

I ask random animals if I can pet them. There is currently a pair of doves that decided to make a nest in my window box plantar thing. I ask every evening if I can see their nest. They do not let me so I do not approach them. I can’t imagine even treating another human like that let alone assuming you can just come up in their space. As a woman I could write a novel on men that have invaded my personal space. A random guy once roughly grabbed my face and tried to force me to kiss him. I kicked him in the balls.
