When guys buy roses, be romantic and pay attention, we get dumped but when guys are cocky, not calling you at all, become very precious, then you all say, we want emotional guys. Be honest, that is completely bull isn't it?
Update: Thanks for all your help. Great advice.

Too much attention is creepy but... Actually, I'm older and I don't want games. I'm tired of them. I have a house and a kid and I don't have time for BS. I dated a guy that always gave me flowers, tokens of affection and I loved it. We were both dating (shopping around) at the time and he chose another woman. I'm ok with that but I loved the attention and the fact that he was honest about seeing other people and that he chose the other woman. That's a Man not a boy. I would love to find another like him.
As for the bad boys... the ONLY good thing about them is they don't need you so anything you get from them is real. But cocky guys - I show them the door because this woman doesn't need them either.

If you had a box of chocolates and your friend took the one in the middle and said 'you can't have this one' you'd want that piece of chocolate more than the others beacause its out of your hands. That's the way it is with us girls, we want the challenge. Ok here is my hint: Give her a rose then don't call her the next day, then drop by her house. She'll get the rose, then think about you the next day while she waits for you to call. Then she'll be surprised to find you at her house. You'll be unpredictable and it will keep her on her toes.
Guys who don't call and get cocky leave girls wanting more.
It's like: if someone sets a piece of cake in front of you and they don't share, you're going to want that cake more and more as the days go by. The temptation of that cake is going to get to you so badly you just NEED IT!
On the other hand, if someone simply hands you a piece of cake, you appreciate it, eat it, enjoy it, and it's gone.
Getting attention and roses every now and then (not all the time) makes those things very precious to us. If we get them all the time, it becomes "old hat."

Girls like the cocky guy cause he's more of a challenge. if you give a girl everything she wants then its kind of boring. but if you are a little harder to get than that it makes it interesting but we want to know that there is a nice guy at the end of the road and that its worth looking for.
Nope, not bull at all. We do like a little mystery sometimes but not when it comes to how you feel about us. When guys get dumped it's usually for reasons other than being too emotional - unless they are really, really emotional (like weird and obsessive).
I like emotion...if a girl really likes you, she wants to see emotion. If she doesn't like you that much, then she might use too much attention/emotion as an excuse. I've never met a girl that didn't want to hear, see and feel how much their boyfriend, fiance or husband cares about her.
If someone pays too much attention, it starts to get kinda creepy, I think. If you show enough attention so that she knows you care but not too much so she thinks "stalker" or "pyscho", then that's good. If I got something special once a week or once every two weeks - like flowers or a long hug or a massage or something - I'd be happy. :)
Ok listen to what the women are saying on here, they say they want a challenge, so now you prob going how do I become a challenge to women. Think of this as fishing, why do you fish, well its fun and its challenging, so we hit the lakes the ocean to fish right? So if you just really wanted to catch a fish why not get a net and scoop up the fish in your fish tank? Why would you want to do that you ask, that's boring and easy, there's no point to that. Exactly my friend, so when you call a girl all the time every day, just to talk to her, then my friend your basically the fish in the aquarium, she has you, and she knows that she can contact you at any time she wants, you are now not a challenge anymore. Women like to wonder hmmm I wonder what so and so is doing, so they will contact you, or even if you were talking to a girl like everyday called her and then one day you just stopped calling her for days, eventually if she likes you she will wonder did I do something wrong? So they contact you. Cocky, confident and funny guys know this, and that's why we don't contact girls all the time just to talk, we make them want to wonder what we are up to since we haven't contacted them in a couple days. Think about it what's more exciting to you? Catching a gold fish with a net yeah fun but boring after a couple times, or do you want something better something that won't give in easily, something that puts up a fighting challenge, and will make you work for it? That's what women want when it comes to guys, nice guys don't get that and they don't get the girl.
Now I'm not talking about just simple dating. It's when you've been dating for more then a year. When you've been dating for some time now, and well...
