This being the case (not with all men mind you) women are taught (not all) that this is the way men are so that's what they look for, especially if they have older brothers or fathers, uncles, who act this way. As human beings we seek out what is familiar or perceived to be "normal" to us. If you are a woman who is used to this, having a guy who is the opposite is not familiar to you, it may even be uncomfortable in terms of thinking as the guy in a romantic way.
As a guy who has many female friends, I've seen and experienced this. I'm not a jerky kind of guy, my brother and I were raised by my mother with very little interaction from our father. Which is probably a good thing, he was a womanizing drunk. We were taught to treat women with respect not as objects. So as a result girls found it easier to be friends with us than boyfriends, always dating the jerky guys. I can't tell you how many girls I knew during my younger years that later told me they wish they dated guys like me instead of the jerks.
It takes a realization of your habits to see where the trend is. Maybe the fact that you think all men are jerks is because it is what I mentioned above. I see women who always fall for the jerk kind of guy, then complain and want to hate all men, but they are the ones who put themselves in that situation. Everyone else sees it but the one who should. You can't tell a person that, I've tried, and man you don't want to be on the end of that. It's not fun to be a guy and tell your female friend you think she dates nothing but jerks. You better have quick reflexes and be wearing a cup.
