Maybe I'm biased because I've known many sweet guys, and also some annoying women. For me, I don't believe that gender is related to a person's morality. They can use it to the detriment of others of course, but that's up to the person's own volition. That's just my perspective.
As for love itself.. For awhile I didn't care about being in a relationship. I like romance in fiction and stuff, but didn't think too much about having it. Part of that may be that I didn't have many friends to begin with that a romantic relationship was even more unthinkable, or that I was unsure if anyone would like me anyway. I do get a kind of "attraction" for certain people. Maybe it's just that I find them good looking, or something deeper that draws me to them. I don't think I can call that love since, well, I'd have to get to know them and see if I indeed have feelings for them to call it love.
My current relationship(I guess it's one) kinda happened by chance/coincidence. In this case I felt that attraction, but admittedly didn't act on it directly at first because I had no idea if the other person felt the same or even knew about me(I'm shy alright?). Turns out they felt the same exact way..
