Even though the user deactivated I will go ahead and say my two cents. Seems like a good topic.

There are plenty of guys out there that want just that. From what I can gather, If a man is "nice" or "good" "real" or "genuine" or "not afraid of love or the simple thought of it" as you say, They usually get ignored or passed over. Over the years it's been my experience that a guy has to be just a little bit A hole.

I'm not talking about the kinda guy that beats on a woman or is overbearingly hard. Or is just after one thing as a lot of you say. But he is just a little rough around the edges. The type that is no one's doormat. He loves and he shows it. But at the same time takes no shyt.

She knows him well enough to know that if she pulls his chain just right he will show her the door. It may hurt him. But somewhere along the way, he will get another woman. He's the kind of man a woman can respect. That's the kind of man that gets a woman and keeps her.
