I think it is because unlike an clingy woman, an independent woman can handle herself without always needing to be in the presence of her man. He can feel confident that his woman won't be a basket case when he is not around. I think some women who tend to be clingy have been put in situations requiring them to rely on a man for one reason or another so that is all they know. Indenpendent women are not constantly calling checking up on the man wanting to know his every move. I could be wrong but that is my opinion.

Not all men like just one type. There are a lot of men who adore a woman who is vary affectionate and loving. That dose not mean you are clingy. It sounds like some one put that in your head for his own mean reasons. One of the only times a man doesn't want that kind of attention is when he is not willing to be a one woman's man and that is his loss not yours. Don't change a thing when it comes to you showing your love. You will find a man who will love that about you. You will see that people will misinterpret what independent mean. You can be your own person and have your own thoughts and give the space that the other needs but that dose not mean your independent or non clingy. That means you are your own person.

clingy women require CONSTANT attention! They always need something, always require input of some kind, always talking, always needing to interact, always needing attention. They can't solve their own problems, they can't deal with this or that.....they're a pain!
Granted, some aren't as bad as others, but most are extremely annoying. An ex g/f from a few months ago had tendencies like this. She was a pain in the a.ss for other reasons, but this added to things.
I don't mind normal, human communication with anyone, but clingy people are so dependent on things they should be able to handle themselves. It's draining being around them most of the time.
Most men just don't warm up to this kind of personality and I am one. I like strong, rather independent women who are intelligent and can deal with life in a realistic way, but who are also warm and loving.
Big different between that and 'clingy'.

Different people want different things. Some men want independent women because they don't want the extra responsibility of a clingy one. Some men want one because they want someone to make the decision for them (they're clingy).

I personally prefer independent women to clingy women because clingy women constantly need reassurance. They need to know every last detail of your life, from where you're going to having them know that you love them. Relationships like that are work and don't allow you to grow, both independently and as a couple. It becomes smothering. An independent woman doesn't always need reassurance and allows both individuals to have space, which is very important in any relationship. For me, I want to know that the woman I am with is capable of taking care of herself as much as I am in love with her. Hope this helps...this is only my opinon though.

simply because clingy women NEED their men to do everything for them, in their eyes. independent women have it together, and therefore can take care of their man. would you want an independent man, or a clingy one? personally, I'll take my strong, masculine, independent man. Plus, having independence typically means that you both have activities you do without eachother, which every relationship needs. If you spend 24/7 together, you'll kill eachother.

Everyone wants to feel needed but when you cross the line between feeling needed and feeling like you can't do anything than it gets to be too much. Guys like independent women more because they can hang out with out them every once in a while and they don't have all the weight on there shoulders.

Because they are self sufficient & don't need to be told what to do & when. Independent women also come across as not being a jealous type so the men feel secure in a relationship where a women does her thing & lets him do his...with respect of coarse.

I'm confused about this as well.
From what I've heard/seen, a mixture of independence and clingyness is preferred. They like a woman who can be alright on her own, but they also need to know that she's really into them...which is where the cling somes in.
Anyway, I hope some guy can clear this up, cause I'm just a random speculating chick, haha.

Because Clingy ones are like watching a little kid!!
Indipentint women don't like leaning on men....
They'de rather be their own crying shoulder! So guys don't have to worry about pickign upafter, and worring about Indipendint women, because they know that Indipendent wemon rather watch after themselfs....so its eaiser for the men!
But I think it'll be best to be inbetween clingy and Indipendent!
Guys don't want someone to stupid or to boring!
