What women are attracted to a man with a "strong & silent" type personality?

Some women prefer men who have a "life of the party" or outgoing and chaterbox kind of a personality and that is fine. I am not that kind of guy for I exhibit myself as a classic "strong & silent" confident type of personality which I enjoy. What kind of women would prefer to have a relationship with a guy who exhibits these personality traits of "strong & silent"? Is there a "opposites attract" guideline here where women who are real outgoing and social butterflies might prefer this, or would women who exhibit similiar personalities find attraction here? I know all women want different things in a man they desire, but what are your thoughts on this question?

1. It really depends on the individual. I would not worry about women. You will find someone who likes you for you.
2. As you rightly said each woman has her own ideas of her future spouse.
3. Soft and delicate girls are normally attracted towards a strong & silent type guy...but there is no set rules...
4. Im the strong and quiet type. thing is we are not really silent. we are just quiet in front of ppl we dont know..however once we get to know someone, we cant stop talking..we are cool and mysterious like that lol
5. It's weird...when I was dating I went for the "life of the party" guy that you kind of described but that sort of burned out really quickly for me. I found that those guys that I dated wanted attention more than anything. It wasn't about spending time with me...it was more about who was looking at them and the reaction that they got from it. Now the man that I ended up marrying is the strong silent type and I love that about him (for the most part:-) He doesn't need a crowd in front of him. But when he is with a number of people, he's still himself. No showboating, no overacting. He's the man that I met and fell in love with. With him I think that I became a little more outspoken b/c he lets me be myself. I don't have to draw in for him. And I love that. Now the only time that the strong silent thing becomes an issue is when I feel that he's going through something and he's carrying the weight of it by himself. We're a committed couple and I want him to be able to lean on me...but I knew this when I married him so I let him come to me when he feels that he needs to share.
6. I don't see how anyone can have a meaningfull relationship with someone who doesn't know how to communicate. If trying to get a conversation out of you, let alone, emotional response, is like trying to get blood from a stone, then most women i would think would soon get fed up with it. That doesn't mean you have to be the life and soul of the party or a clown, but you do need to communicate with your partner or potential partner, and how will you get to know someonr that you may be interested in if you can't communicate.
7. i know who *is* attracted to strong silent men, Eric. YOU. how do i know? you used the term "social butterflies." that's how.
8. For the most part I'm pretty much an introvert. Occasionally I enjoy being the "life of the party" but it's rare. I enjoy my friends to be the outgoing person more than myself. So, honestly, I find that I prefer to be with someone similar to me. I feel uncomfortable when I'm expected to be outgoing all the time. I'd like strong and silent. Not too silent, and not completely insensitive, but a somewhat happy balance.
