No. Not assholes. Not people who mistreat others for no reason other than they simply want to kick someone around. Or those that hurt people intentionally because they feel they're above everyone else.
Just guys who, while having decency, also can be arrogant...
For me, there's a certain limit. If someone crosses over the acceptable cockiness level, then they instantly become seen as far less attractive and a jerk. But if they're under that point, a bit of cockiness can be so attractive to me.
While a may like a guy with self-esteem/playfulness, I honestly cannot stand a cocky guy. It truly bugs me. so although this may be true in some chick's eyes, some still appreciate "nice guys."
I really try hard to force myself to be more annoyed and angry than attracted, but yeah...

I, however, wouldn't date someone like that.
So, like this trope? Sorry for all you recovering addicts.
