I'll admit to having a gut-level attraction to women who look or act innocent; I think it's a result of having a protective instinct. There's even a sexual attraction under certain conditions - the 'corrupt an innocent girl' fantasy fits into this. However, I'm extremely annoyed by incompetence and neediness, so if the rational part of my brain doesn't steer me away, the annoyance factor will.
I imagine that independence being intimidating to men is largely a concept constructed by independent women to make themselves feel better; I think it's rather that the lack of an essential attractive feature (innocence) renders many women undesirable to those men who require it.
