It seems like it is evenly split between women and what they like. But of course there are probably pros and cons to dating men that fit the bill into these two camps.
Cowboy/Country guys are more gentlemen like but it also seems to be centered around a cultural norm for them with the two playing their roles as man and woman. Break out of those roles or if anything makes him feel less of a man and there might be some trouble. If he's really traditional it's like messing with some divine order, lol.
The metro man might be less of a gentleman and some of the chivarly may be missing, but he does seem to give the woman more air to breathe, more independence and ability to break out of her shell. Although since the metro is still a man, and if he gets dissatisfied with the woman, he could be a seriously harmful verbal abuser; I am thinking of Howard Hughes in the Aviator how he just shut down Katherine Hepburn or any woman he dated as not being worth his precious time.
Nothing beats the general skills a country guy can muster. I mean I've seen them work on cars like no other, hunt like they're life depended on it, build stuff from scratch and ride horses like they're John Wayne. Growing up near the country and seeing that was too cool. I mean that alone, the aspect of working hard and playing hard is really appealing and is what sets them miles apart from the metro. Although the con is that there is a limit as to where that can take you if you're a woman looking for financial stability. Not all of them own land, and many work hard jobs for long hours.
The metro tends to do the same as the former but with his communicational and intrapersonal skills. His intelligence and the innovative and imaginative creativity is what sets him apart. Most of the jobs they hold require either creative or quantitative skills to maintain the yuppie life. But considering some lack the general skills of the former, they will need to keep their highly paid positions. Also, having the pedigree and the confidence might make them a bit too cocky and arrogant.
I mean it's all about the individual man but there is a culture surrounding the two types. There is a lot of overlap too, I've seen country guys run mid size firms and win it big and I've seen metros live dirty lives as though they were Charlie Sheen in Wall Street. So it goes both ways.
What do women think? What are the pros and cons of dating either?
Anyone who considers themselves a "country boy" is a douche bag. Anyone who is a metro is also a douche bag.
Most people who call themselves "country" live in the city, have never lived on a farm, wear wranglers, cowboy boots and talk with words they find on larry the cable guy. Metro guys might as well talk with a lisp and give manicures.

Directed towards the OP,
The examples you gave are highly stereo-typical however they do hold some semblance of truth…
At least based on my experience..
I recall meeting a gent and deciding to not agree to a date but instead stated to him that I was going to be at a bar in his city ( 20 minutes from mine) to listen and support a friends band…stated to him that this is where I would be if he wanted to pop in and say hello…
Well he showed up with his buddy and I was with mine…
He showed up wearing tight jeans ( not skinny) but like Wranglers…
And a button down shirt unbuttoned to far and no undershirt…
Boots and so forth..We had a few laughs and he invited me and my friends back to his place…for drinks and a chat..
He drove away in his diesel truck and we followed…We pulled up on some rural gravel drive way and were met by a burn barrel which I had never heard of until that night…
He was very nice but far from a gentleman…I had to use the bathroom and the only bathroom he had in his manufactured home was in his bedroom..
As I walked in his bedroom I could not help but observe a ‘Gun Rack” above his bed…yikes…
This was not my idea of someone I could really be with, his lifestyle differed vastly from mine…
He loves to drive by Golf parks and honk as the people are getting ready to T off…he thinks it is funny…
He watches TV on his days off and I feel he is borderline alcoholic…Everytime I spoke to him prior to meeting him? He was already on a good buzz and on his way to three sheets to the wind…
Then again I also dated a metro guy…
Owned his own business…Very “L.A” Owned a Corvette and a Camaro..
He used more hair products than I did…which at the time was a good thing since I had forgotten to bring my hair dryer and he actually owned one..lol
He had a posh place…went to the best clubs and knew everyone…
The downside? He was so unattached to what my lifestyle is…I.E.
He never eats at home..he outs all the time..Dinner around 11..sometimes later if he goes to the club or a concert…
He has no food in his fridge…only water, vitamin water and booze…
He talks down to wait staff…
He spoils his women, he is ready to give them the good life but only if they play by his rules and do as he sais…
He is now 41 and when I dated him? He was 39 and sulked like a child but thought he was ready to be a father?
So yes both have their downfalls however again I am basing my experiences on two extremes there are men that are in the middle and men that belong to both groups that you mentioned that defy the stereo-type…

I'm from Boston, originally. Once, I fell madly in love with the daughter of a rancher from a small town in Colorado. One of my biggest regrets in life is that it didn't work out.
