Seriously? Guys like insecure women? Why?
I MUCH prefer shy men over outgoing ones, but I still like a man to have enough sense of self to know his strengths and weaknesses, and to capitalize on the former. His strength may be in mathematics, or playing chess, or doing crossword puzzles, or styling hair, or interior design - they don't all have to be chest-beating "manly men."
Shyness is seen as the opposite of confidence.
Shyness comes from insecurity in social settings, weakness....
Eureka and her contradictions...sigh..

Because...they are not women! lol
A lot of guys like to save and protect the "damsel in distress"; just go to some gym and see how guys flock around this girl who is being weak and not knowing how to use some equipment. No need to check a gym, you can even see that in hiking, rafting, or in any kind of nature activity.
And I said plenty of guys, not all guys.
As a general rule (generalizations):
Confident men may prefer confident women (but wouldn't mind some bit of insecurity).
Insecure men prefer insecure women and generally avoid the very confident women.
But...insecure women prefer confident men too; generally women of all personalities prefer confident men.
