Do Men TRULY like/want a confident woman?

I hear men often say that they like a confident female, but is this really so? Most men have the natural instinct to be the "rescuer" and seem to gravitate towards women needing some type of emotional support. A woman who comes across as confident may be seen as less desirable and to independent (not needing to be rescued) Does this inclination to rescue lead them away from the type of female they claim to appreciate?

Different people have different wants, needs, desires and expectations. Everybody is different but in general most women want to be with men who are in charge and who are confident. It is a natural instinct for the majority of women.

@therighttothink50 Yes...confidence isn't the same as cocky but it seems the two are equated that way:) I like an equal relationship but that is different for different people.:)

@therighttothink50 Most women? Not the women I know! Women who are stuck in the 50's maybe. Please don't say "most" women because you don't KNOW most women and I won't say most males are pigs
